Quick read: Just go to Mallo around the corner on Bathurst. Better service, better coffee.
We had a poor experience here. My friend and I bought coffees, tipped, then stood by the pickup counter, waiting for our order to be made. Apparently, the barista had other plans. He took the order for the next 2 customers, made theirs, handed it to them, and ignored us standing there the entire time. Once we realized the barista hadn't made our drinks, we sat down, thinking he would make our coffees, walk them over, and thank us for our patience. There were no other customers or orders waiting, after all. Nope! He just called us over, like we had ordered from a fast food joint. He didn't even ask if we wanted anything in our coffee (milk, sugar, etc). This experience just begs the question, why prompt customers for a gratuity if you cannot offer reasonable service?! Even McCafe makes orders according to the...
Read moreNinetails is a Japanese-inspired coffee bar with a combination of 3 dominant colors: beige, white and black, with a soft touch of green.
Walking into the place, I knew exactly where I would wanna spend my afternoon sipping tea in. The place's interior was not original, but rather light and harmonious, most suitable for people who are in search of a place to just sit and melt away with the soothing music.

Overall, 8/10, will revisit to try a cup of latte with Brazil Dancing...
Read moreI really want to love this place but my first visit was a real disappointment. DO NOT GO IN IF IT IS BUSY... they cannot deal with back to back orders! Asked for cappuccino and asked for large/medium size. And the guy taking a order showed the sizes of cup and I went for the larger one. So the guy started preparing but was cought up with earlier orders, went to serve another customer. Then the girl took over and she changed the bigger cup with the smaller and prepared cappuccino and I thought it was for someone else. But then she was like here you go. I was surprised cuz I specifically asked for large cup. I asked what size is it, rather then answering, she straight up said cappuccino only comes in one size. I was confused for a bit, that exact moment the guy came back and kind told the girl that she was wrong quietly however, rather then apologizing and asking to make another cup, they...
