Hello stranger (wavy hand emoji). I have something to say about this café, and you wanna know more about it before going there — which is fare. I’m a regular here — and let me tell you why.[ disclaimer: It is gonna be a poetic/romantic kind of review, so be prepared ]Walking in, you enter a bright warm space (writing it in winter so the warmth actually is a favourable feature). This is where I’ll be telling you more about the space itself. Plants are literally all around. Fantastic. Cozy. Green.The panoramic windows warm my heart. It is quite bright here, and little artificial light makes the space evenly illuminated. And of course the warm-light vintage light bulbs — I will leave it for your imagination. Love it.The music definitely fills the room just enough as you expect it to. The quality of the speakers is fairly good. And the tunes supplement the mood somehow. (Alternative/Indie/R&B/Soul/…)The kitchen is right behind the bar — sometimes you can literally see the steam leaving the stove for a second — a lovely view. [ Sorry, I’m just a big time culinary fan, couldn’t mention this aspect as well ]. And nothing heavy was cooked in my time being there, so no strong odour really. You get to see the metal cooking utensils and the cooking process — blessed.The art gallery wall. If local artists’ paintings is one of your meditation objects — you are welcome.The food menu has both sweet and savoury positions — come and try — I’m not gonna include it in this review since my time here rarely about eating, but the things I’ve tried so far left me satisfied.It is mostly coffee for me. Not as a «coffee culture» really, but more like an instrument. And for a person like me — it is greatly done. Baristas are nice and working hard — tip them well it is important!!Okay! Some of my experiences I will hold to myself. Too personal, too intimate. But in conclusion/ this place will make you feel. Feel its atmosphere, its diverse and soothing surrounding, its convenient space design and the urge to come back.And I SWEAR you will want to share it with someone at some point.«In the hush that flows, My thoughts find their dance, And I am at peace»See you there (wavy hand emoji).

Very expensive americano. $5.50 for a “double” that tasted diluted. The coffee was fine, but at a cost that is much higher than their competitors, it should be spectacular.

Pat Meagher

Had a hot chocolate that was not hot and tasted like brown hot water. Where was the chocolate? And $14 for avocado on toast? No

It was my first time there. All I had was a latte but it was delicious my first one and I just like the whole atmosphere of the place. Plus it's just around the corner from where I live...

Awesome service. Even the black coffee is delicious. They thought they were out of avocado toast and went out of their way to put together a couple of avocado toasts for us anyway. Lovely food and service! Will definitely be back!

Amazing service, awesome ambiance. We were able to sip our coffees and play a board game. Lara and her team are so inviting. My fave spot whenever I'm in town! Highly recommend.
