My rating: 8.0/10. The matcha latte here was delicious. Seating inside is very limited and was a bit disappointing, but the fact that it’s right across from one of the city’s best parks helps. The decor and atmosphere is very plain and minimalist. Drinks were good, food looked good. Staff were nice and everything came out relatively quickly. I would go back for a coffee or drink, but probably take it to go.

Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options. In fact, I didn’t see anything that included meat.

Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate dietary restrictions.

Parking: Street parking is available, but on the main streets you have to pay.

Kid-friendliness: It is kid friendly, but not the kid of place for kids to run around and play in.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step up to the door, and two doors to enter, neither of which have an accessibility button to open them. Seating inside is wheelchair friendly though, if you can get in.

The acidity is strong. The taste is good.

Over $10 for a small hojicha latte with oat milk… that’s after tip, tax, getting charged for the alternative milk, and the hojicha secretly being $2 more than everything else on their menu. For all that I was excited for a blissful experience but it was utterly forgettable except for the price which is still paining me. Even for queen west this is ridiculous

Wow! Yum! I tried the chocolate chunk scone and an oat milk latte. Staff were so nice and very passionate about the milk art.

Small little space to sit but I believe take out is encouraged. Still very nice spot to pick up from and walk to trinity bellwoods

Though highly recommended, the coffee here turned out to be average. While the space is small and cozy with a minimalistic interior, the macadamia milk overpowered the coffee.

Other cafés internationally - have mastered the balance with alternative milk, so it might just be a matter of choosing the right barista or opt in for a standard milk option here.

Simple but excellent. Great tasting coffee and coffee-smart staff. They know specialty coffee and the latte art was the best I’ve been served for the price paid. You definitely get to eat with your eye before the actual try… loved it. Only wish for more comfortable seating but understand the limited space struggle!

Its very pricey for the little amount of coffee that is given. The taste of the coffee wasn't that great either.

Very kind service, I ordered the elderberry hibiscus ice tea which was delicious. I also purchased two bags of beans as a gift for a coffee enthusiast and they enjoyed the beans very much.
