I’ve always had great experiences at Cursed Coffee, so this visit felt a little… on brand, but not in the way I hoped 😅
I ordered a matcha latte and was surprised to learn the matcha powder is now pre-mixed with vanilla syrup to save time. I completely get the need for efficiency, especially during busy rushes — but this change kind of puts a small curse on the matcha experience.
Part of the beauty of matcha is the clean, earthy flavour and the ability to have it unsweetened (for those of us who like our drinks less “dessert” and more “zen tea ceremony”). With the syrup already mixed in, that flexibility disappears, and it shifts from a traditional matcha to more of a vanilla-matcha situation, whether you want it or not. It’s a bit like ordering black coffee and finding out it was pre-sweetened “for convenience.” Not tragic… just mildly haunting 👻🍵
The cinnamon buns and breakfast options are still dangerously good, so I’ll definitely be back for pastries and food. But for now, my matcha orders may have to seek spiritual fulfilment elsewhere until the curse is lifted and the whisk comes back out.

Any food I’ve ever gotten has been fantastic. Chicken chipotle sandwich has yet to ever last long enough to make it off base.

I always come here for coffee since it’s the only option on base. The coffee is good, but the taste is inconsistent each time I visit—especially considering how expensive it is, I’d expect consistent quality and flavor. Service times are often long, whether through the drive-thru or ordering at the counter. However, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are friendly..

Atmosphere is fine. The decor and furniture are old but it's mostly a takeout place. Staff are always very friendly and the coffee and food options are usually pretty good

Today, I had a very disappointing experience when I went to get ice cream for my son, as I usually do. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that I was not a priority for the employee working that day. Instead of taking my order, she seemed more interested in watching a video that another customer was showing her.
I didn’t even receive a simple greeting, which is usually standard when I visit this establishment. The employee chose to have a long conversation with this customer, even stopping her work to continue talking, without ever attending to me or my order.
Faced with this situation, I decided to leave and purchase a cone elsewhere, at Canex. Although the employee saw me leave, it didn’t prompt any reaction from her. It seems that talking to someone is more important to her than serving a child waiting for their ice cream.
I am extremely disappointed by this experience, and I am not sure if I will return to this establishment in the future. It might be better to go directly to Canex, where customer service is taken seriously.

If you are in the mood for a fantastic coffee, milkshake, sandwich, or just anything tasty,, Cursed is the best!! Pop over or make the quick detour off the TransCanada. It's well worth the trip!

Great people, great food, and great coffee. I. A regular, so I'm biased. I think their coffee is better than Starbucks, and is on par with Coffee Culture in Brandon.
