Key highlights about our recent visit to this cafe. 3 ladies are making coffee. One staff in the kitchen. After 30 minutes of waiting for a toast and sandwich, I asked one of the ladies how soon we could get our order. Her first answer was: I don't know. Then she said " your order is getting ready. In 7 minutes we got our food. Coffee and food as expected for the price paid. Just as expected. The cafeteria has a policy posted on the table that using laptops is prohibited from 12-4pm (if not mistaken). We got there at 1pm. I found at least 8 people using laptops and abusing tables. I think the ladies could step outside the counter and remind the customers of their policy. But they were laughing and talking all the time and just making coffee. One more thing to mention. One of the ladies got her sandwich for lunch 5 minutes after us. A month ago, we were buying coffee in this shop and witnessed how one worker came to work, said hello to her colleagues, took her jacket off, picked up plates and took them to the customer table. Unfortunately, she didn't wash her hands before she had started to work. There are a lot of other coffee shops with real professionals who are just doing their job

Waiting time was more than 30 minutes for avocado toast& chicken sandwich. The stuff didn’t pay attention when we asked about order. “Almost finished” but it was taken 10 minutes more. There is just one person on a kitchen however 3 in the bar for preparing coffee 🤷🏼♀️ coffee was perfect as usual!
Ordered a single-shot cappuccino with almond milk and it was the worst tasting coffee I’ve ever had, and I don’t use that phrase often. The place was very nice & welcoming though

I’ve never been able to get the wifi to work.
This place was really good and cute but was super smokey the whole time? There was like 20 mins where I was really surprised a fire alarm didn't go off

The worst espresso ever, they made 3 times and it was still horrible. Their grilled cheese had no cheese, just 2 slices of forgettable tasteless bread. Also, they basically have no ventilation in their kitchen so the whole place smells and you walk out that you stink head to toes, I had to wash all my clothes.

I usually get my brew at other espresso cafes, but being in a rush, I stopped in Kos to grab a cappuccino on the way to the Union st subway and was disappointed by the "burnt bean" taste, close to what you would get at Starbucks, aka "charbucks".
Some like that, but it's not my style.
I never ordered any food, so can't comment on that.
I didn't see anyone else waiting in line, but it took a while to get my brew - not sure why.
Other than that, it's a large space and probably good to meet up and chat with a friend as it looks like they have plenty of space, and even more tables outside when the weather is nice.
Nice to see that they offer organic eggs, but wondering about anything else organic?
Just wish they would change the beans, or the roasting method.

Cozy, cute place
We didn’t enjoy our experience at this café. The place felt unclean, and the overall atmosphere was unpleasant. The tables and chairs seemed dirty, and the floors weren’t well-maintained. It was disappointing, as we expected a better environment. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning anytime soon.

It's an okay place to work provided you don't need Wi-Fi, which is abysmal. The coffee is okay. Many nearby options for good coffee and pleasant places to work.

I was surprised the sausage egg biscuit's egg was sliced & hard boiled for over $17. Basically something from the fridge, not fresh cooked even as a basic deli would do. Maybe I needed to specify?

Best frittata I’ve ever had and the zucchini cake was a delight. Great spot to get some work done, read a book or meet a friend for lunch and a little treat.

Ridiculous prices and wait times for what, at the end of the day, is mid-tier coffee and bland, pretentious food. Nice environment and friendly staff though.
