I was greeted by such a friendly staff, the store was so clean and spacious compared to many others, and the displays were nice and tidy. The barista recommended a new protein drink which was delicious by the way, and my sandwich as usual was very tasty!

I will definitely be making this store my favorite monthly and leisure stop from now on when I’m in Dartmouth. Excellent staff and beautiful store!“

“Best coffee in this part of town!!!

I stop by here daily to start my day with a drip dark roast (they have regular too) and its so damn good. They have an espresso machine, teas and make italian sodas.

The baked goods are also amazing and are not those ‘run of the mill carbs’ but bite into and taste the love & butter deliciousness. The oatcakes are ridiculously tasty and the chai cookies are like artwork; they also have wraps, snack protein balls (so good), macrons and yoghurt parfaits.

There is also a coffee card so after a 8-10 (?) coffees you get a free cup.

Area is quiet and across the cafe there are pods just in case you need to drink your coffee in peace.“

“My daily dose of sanity in a chaotic world!
Let me paint the scene: It’s 4:37 PM. My brain is fried from hours of intense lectures. I’ve written notes in three languages, my eyes are twitching from too much screen time, and I’m dangerously close to turning into a caffeine-deprived zombie. And then… I arrive here. My oasis. My happy place. The one spot where I can breathe, sip, snack, and not feel like the world is out to get me.

Every break is sacred — and this place makes every single one count. I’m not kidding, I schedule my day around my visit. Exams? Important. Group projects? Stressful. But my coffee stop? Essential for survival. You can’t write a 2,000-word essay on an empty stomach and a dry soul. That’s why I trust this place to recharge both.

Now let’s talk about Too Good To Go. What a genius invention! I got a box of samosas so good I nearly cried. Crunchy, flavorful, and possibly blessed by the food gods. Paired with their legendary vanilla latte (which I’ve now mentally ranked above some family members in importance), and it’s heaven.

Also, the staff? 10/10. Friendly, fast, and never judge me for showing up looking like I lost a fight with my textbooks. I always leave smiling, caffeinated, and full of hope — or at least with enough energy to face the next class.

In short: great food, amazing drinks, wonderful people, and the exact vibe I need to feel human again. This place isn’t just a coffee stop — it’s a lifestyle. A safe zone. A daily hug in cup form. I’ll be back tomorrow. And the next day. Forever.“
