One of the best brunch spots in town. Counter service but very friendly. Limited menu but all is well prepared and nicely presented and tasty!
Expect to fight for a table as there are many singles treating this more like a coffee shop and setting up their office. Wifi is limited to 2 hours. Blankets are provided for those sitting on the patio.

Seven shores is a kind and gentle space to relax and enjoy lunch. It can feel kind of baige, as a Latina, which makes me feel uninspired. It has an internet usuage limitation of 2hrs, but seating seems to be okay for longer, if you don't abuse the space. Sometimes the soup is very good, but sometimes its taste like hippy food and lacks flavour and body. I like the salads. The coffee is Social, a brand from Toronto that isnt very transparent about its practices on their website, but claims to support small farmers in the global south. The locations where they procure coffee are interesting, and worth asking the barista about. I worry about supporting the idea that coffee culture is a space for white saviourism, so I'm causcious, but I heard they may also support a Latin owned brand. My barista has been very knowledgeable about coffee, encouraging of my curiousity, and sharing valuable stories. Hipsterism, or colonialism of fine cultures, often feels uninviting for international people. It's a hard balence between being inviting to locals, and supporting the coffee community. I hope the place gets a bit more diversity in it's staff, who are paid a living wage. The cafe is owned by a group of local cafe lovers. The coffee is quite strong, in comparison to European coffee. Be careful, drink lots of water!! And ask for a latte with one shot, for more milk, if you're used to a cafe con leche.

Generous side of fresh fruit when ordering the breakfast burrito, as you can see. The “loaded beef panini” is a small grilled sandwich on a standard piece of toast with some roast beef and garnish. Ok as a cafe, but the food is amateur.

Prices have gone up significantly and portions gone down. I still think this is a nice cafe and great atmosphere and service but no longer a place for students with limited budgets

What a find! Great atmosphere. Location. Ease of parking. Oh. The coffee, you ask?! Simply marvelous! A 10.
Pancakes were great, coffee (flat white) could have been hotter. Will definitely go again.

Awesome cafe! I’ve only been here once, however it is constantly raved about by all my friends and colleagues in the area. I had the ginger molasses cookie, which was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. I also had the turmeric chai, which wasn’t my cup of tea, but it wasn’t bad at all. The cafe itself was great. Lots of good seating, clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful! I absolutely will be going back and am looking forward to it!

One of the best cafes in KW; the patio and quaint interiors are remarkable. Child friendly too since they have a corner with some toys. Place got really busy when we went around 9:30am; lots of food options we will be going back for lunch soon. Nom nom.
