Good product, great location and atmosphere (though it can be very busy depending on the local events). Customer service isn’t bad but it’s not great.

I love stopping by Equator coffee not only for the great working environment, but for a great cup of coffee. However, I had an unpleasant interaction with the cashier on my last visit. When I placed my order (nothing crazy, an iced latte), the cashier proceeded to stare at me blankly for an uncomfortable moment as if they didn’t hear me or understand me. And yet they didn’t ask me to repeat myself. The cashier’s co-worker, who heard me clearly and was standing further away, had to repeat my order to them. Just a weird interaction all together…

Their drink menu is always super fun and delicious. I am a huge fan of the banana bread and pumpkin spice lattes from their fall menu, and want to try the Black Forest one next. And their cold brew is always super good! Now their matcha…I say this with so much love but although the flavours are yummy (like the strawberry or banana bread) the quality of the matcha varies greatly depending on who makes it. The other day I got a banana bread matcha and after I left I realized that there were huge clumps of dry matcha that were so disgusting and bitter and I could hardly drink it. (I would have gone back and asked for a new one but I had a meeting). So if you’re getting the matcha here, keep in mind that it might not be mixed properly. I have gotten amazing matchas from here before, but maybe avoid getting it when it’s super busy. The picture is of the bad banana bread matcha in question.

My favourite cup of coffee in Ottawa. Every time I’ve tried a seasonal latte here, the flavour and balance is exceptional. The milk could be steamed a smidge hotter but I could also ask for extra hot, so no points knocked there. The breakfast sandwich offerings are surprisingly delicious. I make a point of stopping by every time I’m in town!

Coffee for Espresso lovers! (& Latte etc). Aussies come here!! What a find! 9.5/10 for me. (So I had a 2nd latte). I 100% forgive the latte being served in a cup :). Caramel tones and good crema. We had the breakie sandwich too, which was super tasty. Brioche-type bun, great cheese, egg bacon filling. I’m coming back.

Drinks are absolutely goated here, but the AC in this area of the building is colder than the Arctic

Looks like a great cafe but didn't stay as there was no seating and it was very cold.
Great place for a coffee break with a beautiful view of Wellington Street...

Nicest place in downtown to get a coffee and the coffee is actually really good!
Treat selection is pretty decent as well.
Totally reasonable prices too.

I visited this cafe recently and the place was pretty unappealing. Chairs were strewn all over the place. Spilled coffee and dirty dishes on the tables and milk station. Also the only employee working was sitting at a table, staring off into space. It took her a minute to notice that there were 2 people waiting in line to order… yikes.
