Came here for the first time on Nov 10th. The service was good, and I enjoyed the hot chocolate and Nanaimo bar

The location is central and the atmosphere is cozy. The matcha latte was good. The drinks were expensive for the size. This would be a nice place to work / study!

IMO the best espresso I've found in Ottawa. Great extraction, full bodied and nuanced flavour, nice crema on top. There's lots of light in the cafe and it has one of the nicest views of the city.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are two NAC doors off Elgin that open automatically. There are also accessible routes through the NAC to the cafe from the waterfront entrance

This place is a hidden gem! The coffee and hot chocolate are absolutely perfect—rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a coffee shop. Their pastries are just as good, especially coconut macaroons.
On top of that, the location couldn’t be better. It’s in a prime spot with a lovely view of downtown, making it an ideal place to relax, people-watch, or get some work done. Definitely worth visiting for both the treats and the atmosphere!

*Note: Low star rating is for store hours only. *Just wanted to express my disappointment in the new store hours. Being a frequent evening visitor of the NAC, I would often arrive before showtime to grab myself a drink and/or sweet treat. But that is no longer possible with the coffee shop closing at 4pm.

Good coffee, soggy square. (Date square was a good size and tasted as if made well, but I think keeping it in a refrigerated?? case made it absorb moisture and the beautiful crumbly part was a gross damp mess. Threw it in the garbage.)

Worst overpriced coffee and unpleasant staff

Great iced coffee and cookies. Very nice space to sit down in.
Favourite place in the city to sit and do a bit of work. Great selection of teas and pastries. There’s usually a groundhog outside to observe too :)

An excellent coffee shop in the NAC! Over the course of a few hours, I tried a simple latte, a cortado, and the summer seasonal iced cherry cola chai latte. All of the drinks were excellent, though the cherry cola chai latte leaned more towards a dirty chai with a cherry twist, lacking a distinct cola flavour. The environment is lovely; the cafe area is surrounded by large windows to allow for lots of natural light, and there is a decently-sized seating area that is great for getting some work done or just relaxing with friends. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Overall, I highly recommend this Equator location!
Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy milk alternatives including oat, almond, and macadamia are available. Vegan and gluten-free food options are also served.

Decent coffee în a nice downtown location. Unfortunately they also follow the trend of asking for a tip before you can actually try their services.
