As a tea lover who seeks out chai in every travel, the chai at Cantook was a win! Though not homemade, the Say When Grizzly Chai concentrate they use is excellent. It is a less sweet, more spicy mix (aka the perfect amount of sweet with a balanced spiciness) that sings. This chai snob recommends.

Café très robuste & acidulé. Très cozy mais très peu d'espace pour s'asseoir. Prix très abordables. Je recommande pour un café à emporter.

In addition to a full menu of espresso drinks & pour overs, they also have a huge selection of small batch roasted beans available for purchase in increments of 100g. I had a Costa Rican brewed in a Chemex. It was excellent & very reasonably priced. A few tables inside & on the sidewalk outside the store are the seating options. The location is on a nice street a few hundred yards away from the busy streets in old town. Highly recommend their coffee.

Je recommande l'endroit, la petite terrasse extérieur (plutôt des bancs) c'est hyper agréable.
Même l'intérieur est sympa juste un peu petit & pas très lumineux.
J'ai pris un iced latte, dommage de faire payer en supplément le lait d'avoine :/ Il était bon, mais un goût assez amer.

Ordered: flat white, hazelnut chocolate chip cookie, & iced chai.

The flat white was smooth & a little nutty, not at all sour, & server at the right temperature. A 5/5 coffee. As a sweet treat, the cookie was tasty, with large chunks of hazelnut, & paired nicely with the coffee. There was another occasion when I tried the matcha cookie which is probably made with almond flour. The chocolate chip cookie wins decisively against it.

Incredibly, despite how tasty & well-made the coffee was, the iced chai stole the show. Richly milky, probably sweetened with some homemade flavored syrup, & spiced the right amount, it's without a doubt the best I have ever tried. Highly recommend.
