I have to agree with the reviews about how rude or unwelcoming the staff are in this cafe. From order to coffee being made, you are made to feel as if you’re inconveniencing them. For some weird reason I tipped them a few bucks and was treated so poorly. The barista seemed disinterested and defiant of his job. The cashier was hostile and seemed upset.

The T.A.N Coffee team has a pretty awesome menu of hot beverages available. The washroom is large enough on the inside, so I was able to gain access, and there was enough room for my assistant. The site did not have any push-button access for independence. This is typical of this area's restaurants and coffee shops. I give it a 4 out of 5 for access issues, they have some...

This is usually made in a tall glass (international) and you should be able to clearly see the different layers of milk and coffee on top of each other. That's actually basic and in a restaurant that calls itself "coffee", it should actually be able to be prepared in a traditional way. Mine was simply made in a small cup with lots of milk froth. It was something else, just not what I ordered.... It also had a rather bitter, strange taste and had nothing to do with a "coffee macciato". Only the value for...
