Lemon tart was not fresh or tasty, it did not even smell like lemon, nor tasted like one. We ordered usual latte without any syrup & got a very sweet coffee that obviously had something in it. The barista said "no, I did not add syrup" like 5 times, "I'll make another one & it will taste exactly the same". Well, it didn't. The new one was not sweet. She just couldn't admit her mistake. It was a very disappointing experience, I go to coffee shops rarely & I was looking forward for a nice coffee outside.

A good place with good atmosphere. Very calm & relaxing despite amount of people. Coffee can be stronger - not the best one but ok. Good pastry.

Good choice of food, pastries, BLTs etc Buzzy fun atmosphere Terrible coffee. Stuck in the past with their own strict ideas of espresso to milk ratios. All milk frothed as much as possible & all froth in your cup like it or not. Thirty years ago in Calgary they caught on to flat whites.

The cafe has its ups & downs. The food was just okay, but the pastries were quite good, & the coffee was excellent. However, our experience was marred by a frustrating mix-up. We ordered chocolate croissants, but they gave us plain ones instead. After returning them twice, we were finally told they were out of chocolate croissants. It was a disappointing experience that could have been easily avoided with better communication. While the coffee & pastries were highlights, the service needs improvement.

Although there can be long lines, it does go by fast. The pastries are amazing but pricey. The coffee is delish. Some indoor seating & outdoor patio when it's not raining. I think this is a chain cafe as I saw more than one.
