Jet Fuel kicks the trend of minimalist bright instagram friendly spots. This is authentically rough around the corners and loves it that way. As for the drinks itself... confusing but at least a good flavour.
This spot is dark... lots of deep reds and shadowed corners where you can sit. There's only one spot with windows and even then it's recessed so you don't get a lot of lights. The funny thing that most people would say it has a retro vibe when they walk in. It's actually more the case they've never changed since they've opened over 10 years ago. They have this great old sound system and it's just pushing out classic or indie rock. There are lots of different tables to sit and enjoy your cup.
Service here is ... at best spotty. Not that they don't actually care, I think it's a 'take it or leave it but when we get to you, we'll show you that we care.' Ultra leisurely or lax might be the word. The line up is unclear... and only are they willing to tell you after you've stood there for 5 minutes. While waiting in line, we saw 3 people walk in and straight out after seeing the line being 4 people deep. I can see why... it takes a slow 8 minutes for each person. Another thing that is confusing is the lack of menu at all... the do have 2 cups off the side with a price of $3 for a medium and $4 for a large. But that's it.
Matcha latte - I did appreciate they used an organic matcha powder to create latte and she used a traditional whisk. What unfortunately happened was that it wasn't whisked well... there was a lot of clumps of matted bitter matcha powder that wasn't dissolved. It didnt make for the smoothest drink. 2/5
Flat white - This was definitely not a flat white... definitely not a cappuccino either. Closer to a latte with a serious amount of froth on top. That being said, it was only $3... its close to Tim Horton's pricing with actually good tastes. For a latte, it's actually good. Since we ordered a flat white, this was laughably silly. 3/5
This was an interesting spot but with the lack of attentive and normal speed of service, it could be frustrating. Overall, as long as you're not picky and can overlook a lot of things, it's not a bad spot but not a spot to keep you...
Read moreIf you crave bad attitude and mediocre coffee then this is the place to be. Start with a shot of incompetence: I asked politely to have my usually luke-warm "latte" extra hot. The maiden behind the counter asked "extra hot" which I confirmed. From a communication perspective the exchange was successful. Of course I got a lukewarm brownish fluid... I then mentioned that this is not going to work. The maiden #2 looks at me, grabs my coffee and puts the coffee steamer (Hello Food Safety Canada!) in my cup! She nukes the wax cover inside the paper cup and the coffee tastes like wax. I go back and in no uncertain terms share the taste of coffee. Maiden #2 looks at my cynically and says "Yeah I just steamed the crap out it". Pause... I say "you have two options: make me a coffee that I'm going to enjoy or give me my hard earned $3 back". And I even said "please"- silly me. Here is the best part- she takes the latte already made for someone else (she already forgot/doesn't care I wanted it non-luke-warm), makes a number of smart-ass sarcastic comments to maiden #1 and "throws" the coffee on the counter.
A message to the staff. You have a job because people like me bother coming in and putting money on the counter. We are not only there to get good coffee. We also want the day to start in a pleasant way, interacting with fun and customer-friendly people. You...
