I frequent this café pretty often so this is a summary of my experiences.
First off the location is gorgeous, the atmosphere is really cozy and the view is great too. On a warmer day I'd really recommend the patio. The interior is nice but mostly unremarkable.
The place usually isn't too packed aside from the occasional lunch rush but it usually clears out pretty fast. Service is fast, friendly and effective.
I would say the coffee is okay, pretty inoffensive but certainly not the best I've ever had.
The food ranges from good to subpar. Anything I've had in the refrigerated area isn't worth the money you're spending, on top of that it's pretty pricey too.
However all the baked goods to the right of it are delicious (and I believe made fresh) I highly recommend one of the cookies or scones. I usually get the cheddar scallion.
A good place to stop by for a coffee and peacefully read a book but I wouldn't recommend grabbing lunch, especially when there's some really solid restaurants just down or...
Read moreThis place definitely relies on a captive audience from the businesses nearby, because both the food and coffee are on the low side of mediocre. Had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich (description: roasted chicken, cheddar cheese, red onion, chipotle mayo, on ciabatta bread), and what I actually received was shredded chicken with bonus gristle and a very loose interpretation of 'chipotle mayo', which in this case seemed to mean orange-coloured mayo with no flavour.
Edit: I had to lower my rating because people in our office have given this place many chances, and it's just continuously disappointing. Our latest disappointments were blueberry lemon scones that are tasteless gummy dough in the middle, and a serving of "chicken curry" so flavourless and sad that it went through 3 people before being thrown, nearly full, into the trash.
Perhaps we have all just been really unlucky in our choices, but this place is not good. Do...
Read moreI used to work in this building pre-pandemic, and the food was crap then, I figured since I'm back at the building, I give them another try. As you can smell whatever it was baking when you walk into the building. I ordered what I used to order the cheddar Apple scone. The staff was nice enough to ask me if I wanted it warmed, I said yes. Then, when it came time to pay, they didn't take cash. They only took cards, which was very inconvenient as I did not have my card on hand. Once I returned from getting my card, I tried the most driest scone I've ever had. It was basically just flour. I couldn't taste the Apple nor cheddar. Within 3 minutes, the scone turned into a brick as it was heated in the microwave. So I threw away $5! All the food in display was pre-wrapped, and it looked like it was baked a week ago. It was very disappointing. I will not...
