I want to gatekeep this place quite badly, but I can't ethically do that! A very peaceful coffee shop with a refined but minimalist interior which feels effortlessly luxurious. The coffee is excellent & the service friendly. They were also playing Handel when I was here in the early morning. I wish this was round the corner from my home so I could begin every day like this.

Definitely the best coffee shop I've ever been in Canada🥹the bean used are all from La Cabra roaster, one of the best roasters in the world! This roaster isn't very common here, so I was pleasantly surprised. 🤭They use V60 smart cup to brew the pour over & the quality is very reliable. The atmosphere inside & outside are both amazing. Specialty coffee enthusiast, please come!!!

Unique, artisanal coffee shop with seasonal pastries. Peach tarte & Basque cheesecake pictured. The floral arrangements are real & so beautiful.

I had high hopes but honestly left disappointed. The espresso was over extracted & acidic & I threw it away. It felt like a pretentious image-conscious place rather than a truly good coffee shop. Would not go again.
