"I've been going here for years and have always had a Love / Hate relationship with Higher Ground:\n\nLove:\n- The famous Real Estate slogan: location, location, location definitely applies here. It's my favourite coffee hang out when I'm close to downtown. It's a juxtaposition of cozy atmosphere jam-packed with a random assortment students / dates / people just hanging out.\n\nHate:\n- Tepid service from hipster baristas / cashiers whose personalities contain a big scoop of indifference, a dash of sloth and a pinch of snarky? CHECK!\n- Beverages with names that sound better than it tastes? CHECK!\n- Wi-fi that reminds me of using a dial-up modem? CHECK!\n\nBut like a typical addict (why do I always order the overly sweet, I can't taste anything for hours Banana Magic?) and against my better judgment, I keep coming back :-)"^^ . .
