Excellent coffee, amazing hot chocolate! The owner is kind of a jerk in all the best ways. No WiFi, just Good Coffee. No latte art, just Good Coffee. The guy is talkative, and we ended up hanging around with him and two other customers, talking about life, while sipping our coffees. He has a sarcastic, snarky sense of humour that I actually liked. It is hard to find someone who can make sarcasm work, but he pulls it off. I normally detest hot chocolate, but I absolutely loved the stuff he served me.
Other features: I could get oat milk in my coffee (yay!), and this guy seems to serve his coffee a bit hotter than other places in the city. Often, you get your latte sort of lukewarm, but here I got it warm enough to actually be able to spend some time savouring my drink without it going cold instantly.
The only reason we came here only twice, was that we didn't have more days in Ottawa. Will for sure come back on...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreCoffee was just too bitter, no other tastes in the cup. Small choice of beverages, no filter coffee. Owner told that he roasts coffee every 2-3 days and you can order just roasted coffee, but itās not proper way of roasting coffee. To get proper taste roasted beans have to rest at least a week for degassing. That was bad and expensive experience.
That wasnāt comparing to Eastern European or Tim Hortons. Just to different coffee roasters in Ottawa. For 2 cappuccino at your place I payed a little more than 10 cad, that was my the most expensive coffee in Ottawa. I donāt pay attention to latte art at all. I prefer good taste (not just bitterness in the cup). After your place we went to ā Little Victories Coffee Roastersā - they had totally different coffee and we enjoyed it. I agree that everybody have different taste and wish you lots of guests who enjoys your coffee....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy sister was raving about this place, so when I came to visit her in Ottawa from Toronto, we were sure to go. As promised, the coffee was noticeably decadent, high-quality and superb in taste. The barista was extremely knowledgeable. The decor is transparent and authentic of, a proud and genuine coffee connoisseur/owner. I am not a self-proclaimed foodie or coffee snob, but I am certainly on board with my sisterās partiality to this place. I bought a pound of coffee beans, and have been enjoying grinding them each morning, letting that amazing aroma infuse throughout my entire apartment and sipping on this superior stuff on my way to work each morning. Highly, highly...
