Great location, but only medium coffee. This shop could be so much more! Friendly team, but chairs & table design without stringent concept and love to detail. Foam is poor, coffee medium, Barista should be trained as machine is good.

The drinks are good. But we had unpleasant service experience. I understand it was busy but the staffs didn't care about giving drinks to customers. They just called the names and customers had to find their own drinks among many other drinks. So I ordered 4 we only had 3 and asked the staff we haven't gotten the 4th one and they seemed annoyed and said they already made it. We also dont know if someone else took it and it became our problem to find out. Seriously you have to label numbers or at least write which drink it is. Especially if it's a busy day and we already waited 25 minutes for some coffee

When i walked in only 2 old ladies were ordering drinks but it took over 20mins just to get a latte. They start providing drinks for the people who came way later, which shouldn't happen... Only one of them say sorry and start making my drink. she was very nice. But all the other staffs didn't say anything and while they saw me waiting too. It’s not a cheap coffee and this service? Very disappointed.

The baristas are very welcoming and accommodating, the Filipina lady wearing glasses did exceptional service as she remember’s my order and made sure it was oat milk as I was lactose intol!

I’m currently at the distillery location and the service and attention to the customers is really bad, the girls are not friendly at all, they look annoyed. The coffee and matcha is good and of course the place itself is very nice. Just the staff is not the best.

As a local Author and Poet, I write most of my work here.
The staff are polite, friendly and take time to ask how my day is, always recognize me and are wonderful.
The space is perfect for writing. As I said, I've written loads of work here as the patrons and staff are quiet and considerate.

Great little spot in the distillery district to get a solid (truly Canadian) coffee.
If Balzac's head office is read this, please open a location in downtown Ottawa! 😎
