So happy to have another coffee shop to go to that makes a good matcha latte! Also, the focaccia is so tasty. Appreciate that they have at least one vegan snack and it’s worth writing about. My husband enjoyed his flat white and my daughter loved her hot chocolate. Also, love the chill vibes.

I recently visited this cozy local coffee shop on James street and had a wonderful experience. I tried their Lox cream cheese bagel with salmon, which was delicious, and paired it with a matcha latte. The atmosphere was perfect for our business meeting, and overall, I had a great time. Highly recommend it!

This was my first visit to this coffee shop, and I loved the atmosphere and layout. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant experience. However, both our coffees felt weak and watered down, which the staff attributed to their use of light roast beans. Unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the mark for me.

The pastry I had were delirious and service by staff very good . The London Fog on the other hand not good at all; Tim Hortons does a better job and I dislike Tim Hortons London Fog. Atmosphere is okay, but for the space you have it in you seem to make it work well. The pastry I had were Banana bread and Cornbread Cookie! The cookie is the better choice of the two, but both were good. Food 4.5 out of 5. Drink LONDON FOG 1 out of 5. I'll try another drink next time and hopefully it's better. Would I go back? Yes! Over all experience 4.3 out of 5. Service and pastry make it worth going to. Keep up the good service!!

The comfiest and coziest spot, would be great for studying, working, or just catching up with friends! Lots of classic drinks options with clearly experienced baristas. Also the cookies by cinnys sweets are TO DIE FOR. I had the strawberry lemon cheesecake last weekend and I could genuinely eat 10, they were not too sweet but so flavourful. Definitely must stop by this cute new cafe!
