Coffee is decent but not the best in the area, cramped inside and not well managed at all when it's busy
Good coffee and their scones are beyond delicious, and so are all of their baked goods. Cute neighbourhood cafe to work from, with reliable wifi, but tends to also get busy at pick hours. Nice outdoor sitting in the summer and still bright indoors sitting for the winter time.

Love coming here on a cold day, it’s cozy and tucked away in the neighbourhood but still popular and busy with lovely folks from nearby. Coffee is great, one of my favourite cortados in the city!

Very good cappuccino and a nice place for the summer. I enjoy their outdoor area. Always nice finding a place in the city with a patio not surrounded by busy roads. Would be cool to see more food options though

Cutest Neighborhood Café . A Must-Visit!
This is the cutest café in the neighborhood and a true local gem you have to support! Their seasonal coffee options are always fantastic. I recently got their grounded coffee to brew at home, and I'm loving it. Service is good and fast, coffee is always great. Check them out!

The atmosphere of this cozy café is warm and welcoming. It’s situated on a quiet street, with a couple of tables outside, good coffee and some great pastries. As a fan of small cafés with character, I really appreciate that.
The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because I don’t think an iced coffee, half-filled, in a small plastic cup without a straw (they should have straws) should cost over $5. Other than that, it’s a lovely spot.

Quick and easy grab in the morning. No fuss, no frills. They seem to have a local following with lots of locals carrying their cups, seen in the neighbourhood.

Lemon Bichon and cappuccino were my go-to at Contra Cafe when I used to live nearby. I missed them so much but it takes so much time for me to go there from uptown now.
Thanks the staff for letting me know when are the Lemon Bichon available so that I won't miss them!
Delicious as always. Love them! It made my day💛💛💛
If the store has delivery service, i think i will order a dozen😂

Ultra cute neighborhood cafe. Excellent bakes and drinks. Had one of the best Earl Greys we have ever had. Very family oriented and had a great slow communal feel.
