The coffee counter is abundant in biscottis, cookies, cakes, croissants and other pastries. \n\nGreen P parking is probably the most economical way to go, or if you're lucky enough, you may be able to snag a 15 minute parking spot to just grab your coffee and go.\n\nWe ordered a Caf\u00E9 Latte and a Double Cappuccino with a Vanilla-Ricotta Croissant and Vanilla-Almond Biscotti.\n\nI will not call myself a coffee connoisseur but everybody knows what they like. The coffee at Balzac's didn't strike me as particularly superior to coffees I've had at other places. The cappuccino was okay. The latte was better, but it wasn't hot enough. The croissant was soggy and the biscotti was stale. \n\nFor a total of $16, I would say I didn't get great value for my money. The gold standard is still Tango Palace Coffee Company on Queen Street East for me!"^^ . "3"^^ . "3"^^ . .
