It's become such a hangout spot for my friends and I, with its great food and coffee, that no Starbucks could ever replace it. It also closes really late for a neighbourhood shop (12 on Saturdays), making it the perfect place to relax at after an event. The staff are all friendly and helpful.\n\nTheir coffee is amazing. Strong and smooth, much better than Starbucks (yes I do have a grudge against this dominating coffee shop chain, but that's regardless). However, I've tried purchasing a can of Williams coffee from them before, but it didn't turn out as well... It must've been because the coffee was old since I'd tried every combination of cream and sugar. \n\nTheir salads are fresh and of a generous portion. \n\nThe only thing that's preventing me from giving it a five star is the baked goods. Perhaps it's because they're not popular with the customers that they're not as frequently bought... causing them to be stale and dry. Same goes with the cakes. \n\nIt's a great place to hangout, grab a drink, or study for that midterm (but not on weekends... it can get pretty loud with the kids coming after soccer), but make sure if you're using a laptop that you charge it before, as they don't have a lot of power outlets."^^ .
