For anyone who is looking an amazing place to set up your laptop to work, I would highly recommend this spot. I think my mouth dropped on seeing how large and nice this space is. I wasn't ever expecting this from Toronto ever. Another huge plus... they have a parking lot!!
The place has a lot of bright sun and tons of great seating where you can enjoy the a table to yourself without having people give you the evil eye cause everything is so cramped. The tables are enough for partners to share and seats are very comfy. I love the natural wood details everywhere. I was also loving the music as a background... it's happy and fun. Think Carly Rae Jepsen (but her newest album ... underrated Queen IMO), Halsey, or Dua Lipa.
The bar here has a lot of choice between your typical espresso drinks to beer, cider to kombucha. Another nice touch is they have 3 types of milk so you dont have to worry about your lactose intolerance.
Flat White with almond milk - The barista here puts care into each one and you can see the really nice clean design as you pick up your drink. The espresso here is a bit more bitter than other places and I think skews a bit more towards the espresso. Its a bit unbalanced but if you find it too strong, you could add a touch of sugar to temper it. 3.5/5
Iced Chai Latte - unfortunately the chai was very weak in flavour. We tasted more water and milk instead of any spice. We had to add cinnamon to give it some flavour. 2/5
Mochacinno - They use their own chocolate blend (or mixture) and you can definitely taste the chocolate. It was interesting as it was a dark chocolate note ... bordering on chalkiness. A touch too bitter perhaps. The balance of milk to espresso was much better in this one. 3/5
Overall, I think this is an excellent place to work and seeing how they're just reinvigorating the area with new condos, I can see this being a popular place...
Read moreI've lived a couple blocks away from here for years but never actually went in. I always just thought it was a dry cleaner. Somehow my brain never connected the dots that this place was actually a cute little coffee shop and boutique grocery store. And a dry cleaner.
I walked in the other day after eating a mediocre lunch nearby, and immediately regretted it the moment I saw the Jerusalem bagels. Well, I'm back. Took a run here to work up a calorie debt and indulged in an appropriately expensive avocado on Jerusalem bagel toast (insert rent joke here). I've seen some other reviewers complain about the price but honestly I could have easily split that and been satisfied. Definitely too full to run home.
Thankfully, I don't have my backpack with me, or I would be going home with a lot of snacks, and probably wine. They got everything from bougie chips to coffee to a really tempting looking freezer full of real and faux meats.
Great place to walk in the neighborhood if you're looking for some fancy foodstuffs, or a gourmet feeling lunch or snack without having to deal with yorkvillr. Lots of indoor seating and an admirably makeshift patio in the...
Read moreI never write bad reviews but … While the interior is a beautiful open space with outlets and large tables everywhere (great for working) the actual food+drinks are absolutely not worth the price. We ordered an oat milk latte and it was incredibly watery with a burnt coffee flavour. The cups they use don’t have handles, so you’re struggling to hold a burning cup. We ordered the avocado toast, which was extremely disappointing considering the price. You get a very thin slice of bread, burnt on one side, with a thin smear of avocado spread that tastes like it is from a package, and a pile of pickled onions which haven’t been cut so you’re chomping on 10 inch long strings. We also got a tea, which was nice but came in a poorly insulated teapot so it cooled very quickly. We tipped 15% and they didn’t even bring over our order (even though they said they would), they just yelled out the items and we went up to collect them. For these 3 items with the tip we paid $33.34, which is just shocking considering the quality of the items and service.
Overall a very poor experience and we won’t...
