Tommy is a very friendly and personable Barista, and skillfully serves such a tasty brew! Decor is basic with just three or four tables, but ours had two hardcover coffee-related books to enjoy. Definitely a shop to visit!

Really cool spot with a LOT of potential. The staff are always welcoming and the atmosphere is great. The events they have with local artists are also really intriguing for someone such as myself who was forcibly relocated from the west end of Toronto.My only gripe and reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is the price. $4.00+ for a drip is absolutely bonkers and I frankly don't think I've seen it anywhere else (note again, I moved from downtown Toronto). Most "nicer" cafes I've been to, usually offer drip coffee for $2.50 - $3.25...*maybe* $3.50 at most. I would say $3.00-$4.25 for an Americano, or other espresso based drink seems standard. To make things worse, I'd say the drip I got was only ok, definitely not worth $4.00 pre tax. In my view, I think you need at least to give the customer the option of getting something reasonably priced. For example, in Toronto one of my favourite cafes offered drip for $2.50. You best believe I went there frequently because I didn't mind spending that much for a quick coffee semi-regularly. Every so often I'd get a pastry with it or splurge on an espresso based drink. This is a win-win for customer and business.The same goes for the beans. My partner came back with a bag of 225g beans (apologies if the amount if incorrect) and she said it cost $23 with a discount. Assuming the discount was 15% that means the normal price is $27 for 225g. Again, do some basic googling and walking into roasteries in Toronto or Ottawa and you will easily find some of the highest quality coffee for more reasonable prices.

Came and grabbed a cappuccino. Tommy was super friendly and passionate, and made a great cup of coffee. Interesting selection of types of coffee that seems to change regularly. Definitely a nice little spot.

Great coffee, great service, and super friendly staff at this unique spot in Ottawa! You won't be disappointed by stopping in for a pick me up. Stopped in for a latte one day and then a flat white on another day while visiting for a long weekend. Staff gave great suggestions for things to do and see in the city as well.

Their fun patio sign drew my attention to their cafe and my god! If you’re looking for a peaceful minimalistic place, check them out!

It is excellent coffee, right on somerset and yet feels like I am transported to a secret tree fort club when i enter. The patio at the back is so easy to relax in.. and even the little table in the front under the tree has a zen-like vibe. The coffee is high quality. I've only ever had the drip coffee but I have seen stunning fancier coffee drinks be made.Also, they have beer. Oh, also, the beer is $5.28 during happy hour.

Good coffee. Cool shop. Very nice baristo.

Ben Roach

I absolutely love this place! Wicked coffee, vinyl records and sometimes they even have concerts! The best part for me is that the patio is behind it and away from the street which is great for relaxing!
