The latte is delicious and perfectly made. I was disappointed with the breakfast sandwich. It was a pre made sandwich with no taste and the inside was cold. The staff is friendly and helpfully. I recommend the place for drinks only.

A lovely coffee shop by day, and speakeasy style cocktail bar by night! There are some really cool drinks that feature innovative infusions like a brisket washed whiskey. The house made liquors are also amazing. The banana liquor in the Baloma is particularly noteworthy. It was prepared sous vide, which gives it a lovely, rich, caramelized sugar quality.

The food options are equally well thought out. My favourite is the Panna Cotta, which featured a black saffron syrup, pickled rhubarb, olive oil, and a touch of sea salt. It was the perfect combination of sweet, tart and savoury.

There is also an impressive selection of non alcoholic cocktails and craft beers for those looking for something on the lighter side. A hidden gem of a bar that I fear won’t be hidden for much longer!

Vegetarian options: There are house chips, warm olives, and salads that are perfect for snacking!

A café both cosy and with a refined modern flair. A little edge in the morning; I fancy a Caesar and can find my thirst quenched here. Green tea of repute. Flat whites are tasty. One can acquire cocktails or an 'Café Irelandaise' in the shop as well as a simple cuppa.

The rearward ambience is enhanced by a speakeasy-suggestive cosy cocktail salon. Bar snacks are quite fine, including prawn.

Speaking of rearward ambience, my male 'dining companion' and I came here for cocktails at approximately 00:15 last night. We were both quite sweaty and tired, and needed a restorative drop before returning to our work. The waiter, one Gregor, was very accommodating, despite our sweat and fatigue.

I restored myself with a lovely salade aux tomates from the chef. Then my body was restored with a rye cocktail. I then had four espressos, to fuel my partner and I for our night's business.

Wandering Spirits offers delicious beverages, delectable foods, and a delightfully moody ambience. The staff are charming and personable, as well as incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks are delicious, comprising both creative and masterfully constructed original concoctions as well as perfectly executed classics. The coffee is vibrant, nostalgic, and rich, while the cocktails are inventive, potent, and complex. I will most certainly be back for more.

This place is great for those who love coffee. It was a treat when I saw that they are using my favorite coffee roaster, Detour Coffee. The service is friendly, the vibe is chill, and the ambiance is pleasant. It's a perfect place for getting together and catching up with friends and family. The place also turns into a cocktail bar after hours, which I will definitely check out next time.

Parking: The place is situated downtown, so you have to pay for parking. However, parking is free after 6pm, but it can be difficult to find a spot during peak times.

Great coffee shop with great coffee. They have all the options you are looking for, coffee wise. The staff is great and friendly. It didn't seem to have a big selection of food, but not what I was going for.
