Walked in there with my sister just by curiosity. Ended up getting s bunch of incredibly delicious pastries. So lovely with all the art and natural light, but the service was the best part. They went above and beyond to keep us some pastries aside as they were still preparing them and they were incredibly kind.These are the types of places I love to support and will definitely be a returning customer!

$9.46 for a latte including a surcharge for oat milk and 15% tip… that’s a bit excessive, isn’t it?

I visited this café after a strong recommendation, so I had strong expectations upon my morning visit. I am a filter coffee person, especially at mornings. Therefore, I ordered a dark roast filter coffee. They grind and prepare filter coffee per request in pour-over. It was quite pricey. $6 including tip. However, no complaint about the quality of the drink. Very friendly staff, and an interesting art collection offered for sale.

Coffee was okay nothing fancy. But the attitude of the waitress was out of this world. Of course, in Canada mediocrity is accepted and therefore there is a big lack of ethics when dealing with clients. Never again.

*** AVOID AT ALL COSTS ***I don't know where to start but what a shame. What a shame!I hadn't seen a good friend in a while and I had the day off after a long business trip... so what could be better than a coffee shop near us... how terrible.The coffee is acceptable but however this place is very far from cordial and does not offer anything “homemade”We wanted to have a lunch like the world but instead we were recommended almost expired biscuits and cakes at exorbitant prices! It’s inedible, even disgusting… the photo is proof!When I asked if it's homemade, because I suspected it wasn't fresh, one of the two little ladies got angry because I was asking "too many questions" what is it? this knowing how to live? Who was the little lady raised by?I like to support everything local but this is a charade! Avoid at all costs. They don't deserve a penny and they seemed very hypocritical! Shame on you for this terrible welcome and by the way you have to heat the upstairs because it was freezing and I'm not even cold, well, I think the business won't survive with this absolute mediocrity!Again, there are other cafes that do their own thing with love and without arrogance. Put your money elsewhere!!!

A Gem of a place!The coffee is excellent, the artwork is vibrant, the service is always great, the building is unique, and on top of it, they are so friendly to dogs. Every time we walk by the place, my dog begs to go in, rushes to the counter and patiently waits for her treats while I order mine. We’re always greeted with a warm service (often by two blonde ladies) who tell us about a new recipe they’ve been working on. That lemon Biscotti is a hit!Ps. The oatmeal double chocolate cookies are to die for.

I like this concept. The welcome from the two ladies is very pleasant. A nice little place. A first to date for us who come from France.

My friend suggested to go to this cafe. I ordered the cappuccino with a chocolate cookie and settled into my studies. She was excited to try the latte as she had tried the cappuccino in the past. However, she started to read and got carried away. Half an hour later the barista came up, abruptly tucked in the chair and asked her if she was going to order anything and that she had to if she was going to sit. The barista is completely right in the sense that they are a small business. She obviously doesn’t know this but my friend and I purposely choose to visit and support local instead of going to big chains for that reason. However, the manner in which my friend was spoken to was surprisingly disappointing. I don’t wish any future customer to be spoken to in such a harsh and angry tone.
