The coffee here taste like hot water.

I’ll admit the cinnamon buns are good, but for a place with coffee in the name, the coffee is NOT good. I feel bad, so I didn’t wanna ask them to remake it.

Mixed on this place cause I wish the coffee was better.

Very unassuming on the outside, but don't be fooled. Went there a year ago. I don't even like cinnamon buns, and I'm pretty sure these will have ruined me for the future - I'll never be able to appreciate any other cinnamon buns. Would deffo recommend!

Absolutely amazing place that I cannot recommend enough. The coffee is lightly roasted which allows for full flavor without the carcinogenic feeling that many other coffee places have. The baked goods are also fantastic. I had the vegetarian flat bread with peppers, zucchini and onions drizzled with balsamic reduction and it made my day. Come here

Went in today for thanksgiving with the fam. Feeling extra thankful for the team here who was super helpful on this beautiful fall day 🍂🍁! Sarah was especially helpful and made my experience just that much more special! Five stars for this cafe (and the kiddos thought so too 😆!)

Dim and warmly lit,
A warm, spiced smell of cinnamon, yeasty caramelized bread fill this dimly lit cafe.
Bakers kneading and perfecting their art,
Carefully icing each bun with a decadent frosting.
Lively conversations, distracted students laughing, others busy studying,
Invested in a book, busy writing in a journal, embracing creativity through sketching,
Each enjoying their own perfect, delicious bun.
Each bite is warm, sweet, and pillowy - unforgettable, already making you plan your next visit.

I remember the first time I had a grounds for coffee cinnamon bun, it was my 16th birthday present from my sister - a seriously memorable experience. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Working full time in the neighborhood so we almost here every day for coffees, it still depends on the person who made your order, I experienced many bad drinks with the female barista before but still try my luck to see my favorite barista, the Ice caramel macchiato today I got it tasted like the 3% milk I bought for my son at home, I really couldn't finish it and the first time drinking coffee made me so mad, we usually get like 6-7 drinks each time and if it's bad-all of them are bad. Sorry but I may not come unless I see my favorite barista is working that day

Great cafe to get a lemonade, a cinnamon bun, and chill.

The picture is different from the actual product. There are no solid blueberries. The taste is 70% water. Tim Hottons is 100 times more recommended. I haven't tried the food, so I don't know, but it smelled really good. If I have a chance to come again, I'll order food instead of drinks.
