I absolutely love this place. I used to come here all the time to read. Unfortunately I had to stop going due to the smell. You don’t realize it when you’re in there but when I leave everything down to my hair smells like it. It sticks to my bag and my clothes I couldn’t stand it anymore! It makes me sad because there’s no other place around like this and the staff is so friendly I will miss it!

The food and service were great! We were happy to find gluten free and vegan options. We’ll definitely come back.

As a 19-year-old, I’m not typically the type to jump straight to writing a Google review, but I felt I had to share my experience from this morning because it was so unusual.

My friends and I ordered one chai latte with caramel, one chai latte with oat milk, and one caramel iced coffee. When the drinks were brought out, the waitress placed mine down and said it was a chai latte. I politely said, “Sorry, I ordered a caramel iced coffee,” and she responded with, “Yes, that’s what I said.” I was a bit taken aback, especially since my friends also heard her say chai latte and confirmed it afterward.

After we finished eating and drinking, she asked if that was everything, and we said yes. We waited for her to come back so we could pay, but she never did. Eventually, we went up to the counter and waited a few more minutes before she said, “You guys have to pay with me,” which was confusing since that’s exactly what we were trying to do.

When she asked us to repeat our orders, we clearly explained what each of us had. My friend noticed that her side of bacon wasn’t on the bill and pointed it out. The waitress seemed frustrated and responded, “Yes, I’m trying to do it,” which again felt unnecessary.

After my friends paid, I noticed I was charged for a chai latte with caramel instead of a caramel iced coffee, which was an extra 75 cents more. When I asked for it to be corrected, she replied, “Well, that’s why I asked what drinks you guys got so I could split it properly.” We had already told her our orders, so this response felt dismissive.

Overall, the tone and remarks were unexpected from someone working in the service industry. Afterward, I mentioned the experience to a friend’s sister, and she shared that she’d had a similar encounter with the same waitress, which was disappointing to hear.

On a positive note, the food itself was great — it’s just unfortunate that the service took away from what could have been a really enjoyable visit.

Soup , just fair. Mostly the coffee and drinks are good. Baked goods are plain but tasty.
The service is not consistent, sometimes ok sometimes not good. The staff seem unimpressed to serve. There are no happy faces.

I'm always amazed at how uncomfortable the chairs and seating areas are. The decor in this restaurant leaves me wondering why the owner has never thought to replace the tired rickety furniture. The bathrooms are messy and not cleaned very often and very cold. So this restaurant can serve you a nice cup of tea , but really falls down on comfort and atmosphere.

Great drink selection and a decent trivia night on Fridays. Their baked goods are always fresh and the staff are friendly.

Terrible Americano. Poor ventilation, whatever they're cooking there. I left smelling like it. Not my favorite

Great spot for a warm cup of any beverage - the atmosphere is warm and inviting and every menu item feels like top quality with a reasonable price. Staff are welcoming, helpful and kind. many coffee house options are available and it feels much better than any other Big Chain Barrista coffee spot. Definitely one to try - stop in and try some food or order your drink to go!

One of my favourite places. Whenever I'm passing through I always plan a stop for a great cappuccino, lunch or just a treat from the counter. My kids love the Hello Sailor bars. I've worked remotely from here a few times and the atmosphere is very cozy.

Everything about this place is awesome except for the service.. and it's not the fault of the server. They only seem to have one server on duty. I've been here dozens of times. There's always a wait in line, a wait to order or a wait for your food. I'll wait to pay the bill.. can you hire one or two more people please?

Great food, coffee, and service. The space would be better ventilated, there seemed to be a haze of smoke from the kitchen.

We were a party of three sitting on the front patio. One of us had the large quesadilla it was huge and delicious. The other one had the chicken and brie sandwich delicious as well! Vegan chilli was really delicious homemade and very clean tasting lots of options for a vegan. Very impressed with that. The coffee excellent. The coffee cake muffin worth every penny !!
