Cortado.
A really special place, the cortado was wonderful. The space is nice and the atmosphere is so pleasant. I forgot to take pictures of their coffee bean merchandise, they are really good and the packaging is fun.

I have reluctantly gone to Ethica a few times because of the limited choices on Sterling. I have always found them to be very expensive for what you get. I was annoyed that a relatively small cup of tea and baked good cost me just over $11 each time.

But, the last time I was there will be my last. And what did it? Garbage cans. Yes, I won't return because of their garbage cans. The cans are marked "ignorance" and "indifference". I honestly couldn't tell you which one was intended for waste vs. recycling. Either way, I was being shamed for my choice.

I came to visit with a friend I hadn't seen in a few months, and as I sat there, eating a cookie that cost $5 and a lukewarm, small cup of tea that was another $5, the obnoxious garbage cans stared at me the whole time. Is it meant to be art?

Regardless of what the bins were marked, both were lined with black plastic garbage bags, so I assume neither go into a recycling program, and it all goes to landfill.

For what I spent on a cuppa with a friend, I was annoyed. But, the waste bins told me that the only place to put my napkin at the end of the visit was up my a$$.

Won't be returning.

The matcha latte was warm-cold, that was a bummer when I found it out during my walk. I'll give it another try if I'm around because I've only heard great things about this cafe. The atmosphere was pretty nice, very cosy.

I do not believe that the comment I am going to make it will increase the quality of service you provide. But I BELIVE it will SAVE the day of many people who are thinking of going here.

!!DO NOT RUIN YOUR DAY and MONEY !!

It’s truly astonishing that you seem to label everyone who shares a negative experience as being harassing.

- I don’t know or have ever seen the owner of this shop, nor do I even know their name. But if such comments are made, it seems they might view most customers as adversaries.

- At your café my friend and I visited, after paying for our orders, we felt unfairly rushed and harassed by the staff. They asked us how long we would be staying before we had even sat down. This is unacceptable.

- The overpriced coffee also seemed as if it was from a display model rather than something freshly prepared. This is entirely unacceptable.

2 things which made for a stellar experience:

1. Came in for a decaf iced americano. Usually decaf is on the lackluster side, but their selection was absolutely delicious.

2. I decided to buy an Aeropress on the whim from this place, but then found I'd be eligible for a discount if I bought it straight from the Aeropress website. The staff here were gracious enough to give me a full refund, no questions asked.

Thank you so much for a beautiful Friday afternoon!

I came to do work - starting at the laptop table and when I finished my laptop work, moved to a table where I could do my paperwork. I got a very important phone call where I needed to confirm some information on my laptop for one moment and opened to check. While still on the phone, the barista interrupted me to point out I couldn’t have my laptop. After my phone I expressed to him it was inappropriate to interrupt someone in the middle of an important call and this wasn’t a good experience for me. He didn’t apologize but smirked at me.
