Went for a convenient cup of regular coffee at least a few times per week since they'd opened at Eastdale. The owner is passionate and loves to talk about the industry. I like the coffee and have seen the baristas really dish out some dope latte art! Unfortunately I was refused service on my last visit, just peaked in to an empty store and asked the girl working if I could get a cup without the PPE. I told her flat out, I forgot my mask.
