Calmest and happiest place in town!

Decent spot for coffee. Saw the high ratings and was in the Durham area, so decided to check them out.

Espresso and coffee are high quality and top notch milk frothing. No lingering espresso aftertaste. And crema was smooth with the combined espresso roast.

Service was alright. Saw one person chatting with a customer which is normal for cafe vibe. But person helping me, great at espresso making and very quick. Not very responsive in terms of greeting customers. Threw me off if they were ready to take my order or not.

Cozy little spot just off of Kingston. Parking is very tough. There seems to be a tiny lot behind, but not sure as it seemed like private property. So went to street parking and found a last spot. But seems like parking spots can fill up quickly and if you’re going east on this street thinking you will head back on Kingston to double back, the road has a do not enter sign, so just plan it out accordingly.

Good job overall

What a cute place, so many unrelated things seem so friendly to each other. We tried Scone, Americano and London Fog, they were average. You can find products from many local vendors and I think they sometimes organize workshops. The only thing I noticed was that they gave disposable cups inside the restaurant, maybe this is an advantage for them since they don't take dirty cups but it bothers me to throw so many cups away. The guy who took my first order was much more cheerful than the girl. The woman who came after, who I assumed was the owner, didn't even bother to greet anyone. Of course she doesn't have to do this.
As a small business owner, I think that's important.

Such a great spot for a coffee, tea, or treat. It’s a really nice atmosphere to hang out for a bit and they have tons of unique items for sale. A real local gem!

Parking: There’s a small parking lot beside the dental office next door. Spots at the back of the shop are limited and there is one way in / out so if there are no spots available it’s a bit tight to manoeuvre out of, but not that difficult.

Kid-friendliness: There are options for kids and a cute little table with tiny wicker chairs for small kids.

So happy a local coffee shop in Ajax has opened! This place is comfy, and cozy. The live music occasionally on the weekends is the perfect touch to seal the quaint vibes this place offers. Love going here 🤍

What a great little cafe, drinks and food were delicious, super cute shop with locally hand made items for sales, great place to connect with friends for coffee and catch up. I had my book with me so I stayed a bit longer, did some reading and chill.
