Cheese, coffee selection is great. Premade sandwiches are delicious. Staff is great, the recent few who say otherwise are on a witch hunt.

Most delicious sandwiches ever at a reasonable price price. Staff are friendly and attentive.

I normally do not like to leave bad reviews, but I felt like this one was due. My recent visit here was unfortunate. The staff all seemed to have a terrible demeanor & attitude. The staff struck me as being unenthused and angry with having to work their designated roles  They were quite rude, to be honest. The overall impression was that they did not want to have to serve a croissant or a coffee, or do anything else. It seemed cumbersome and you got the vibe things were a chore, which made things extremely uncomfortable and it felt very unwelcoming.

We used to love this place but the overall vibe in the past few visits were such a turnoff. Others had indicated the same during their visit and you could just sense the dissatisfaction We LOVE to support local.. But I think moving forward I would rather opt with Farm Boy or Eataly with the same pricing but better service.

Good news: Food was good (but a bit pricey for what you got) Bad news: Service was extremely uncomfortable.

I hope the owners can make a change as you would like clients/customers to feel welcome in your establishment.

I have never been told that $100 in cash was counterfeit. Even if I am kind to a white woman who interrupts my order, and even if I go out of my way to increase my order and pay $100 to show my sincerity, if I am told that it is counterfeit, I will never pay with cash again.

Pricey, but quality. Bought a box of some really yummy pistachio cookies.

Not sure if the barista just wasn't familiar with the drink, but the London fog I ordered was poorly made. It was just black tea with some milk and foam on top. Their large size is a 12 oz cup, which was a bit unexpected since most cafes I go to usually have that as a small/medium. The cheese scone was alright, but cold so not as appetising as it could have been.

I stumbled across this cozy little cafe and was instantly greeted by the amazing smell—fresh coffee and pastries in the air, super inviting. The vibe inside was really chill and welcoming, with a warm, laid-back atmosphere. I ended up getting this massive almond croissant for only $4, which felt like a steal considering the size and how flaky and almond-y it was. On top of that, the workers were genuinely friendly, which just made my day even better. Great way to start your morning!!!

A classic Cabbagetown spot!

Tasty nata with reasonable price, too bad we were full from lunch that we didn't get to try their sandwiches.

My daughter and I were there for the first time and enjoyed a delicious grilled chicken panini and good coffee. The staff was very friendly, the place was clean and nice.
We definitely recommend and for sure we are going back

Love the staff and atmosphere here! If you’re looking for a New York style bagel, this is the place! Their everything bagel is fantastic. The blueberry muffin however was highly underwhelming, would not recommend it to be frank. The chocolate chip cookie was great however and quite large. Overall, love this place and will be back!

Wonderful shop. Fantastic Sandwiches. Breakfast sandwiches for 5 people was less than $50 and they were the best breakfast sandwiches we have had in a long time. My fav was with chorizo salami on a fresh bun. Bagels are great too. Staff are friendly. Service was quick.
