I'm glad that Markham is opening another cafe like Alchemy (across the street) that focuses on the quality of their coffee, clean decor and brunch food with a modern twist. I enjoyed a cappuccino with a nutty taste and a sunrise waffle sandwich. Lots of choices for coffee whether you want a pour over, espresso or flavour latte. Sunrise waffle sandwich has a great combo of sweet and savory from the carmelized onion and bacon. Fries on the side was too salty.
The atmosphere looks clean and relaxed - I can see myself spending a few hours there reading a book or doing computer work. I believe they are still experimenting with their menu. I do hope they launch a coffee combo so i get to basically do coffee tasting (hence the variety of beans they have there). The brunch menu wise - to be honest, nothing really stands out to me besides the waffle sandwich. I was excited to try breakfast nachos today because I thought it was a brilliant idea but apparently got taken off due to portion size. I would suggest renaming some of their items so people know it has a creative twist and curious to try, rather than just calling it say chicken salad or mushroom soup on the menu.
Anyway, it is a cute little cafe that is on the right track and has lots of potential. The barista and server were nice. I would come back to try other type of coffee.
