There's Havana coffee, a good selection of freshly baked artisan breads and a mouthwatering display of sweet treats in the cabinets. I am working my way through my favourites - cannoli and coffee caramel eclair are already ticked off the list. The strawberry tart is awaiting my next visit!

All of the pies are around $5 so if you're looking for a super cheap pie you'll be a bit disappointed but they are definitely worth the price! They didn't have a big selection of sweet treats but the ones they did have looked pretty yum. It's easy to get to with easy on street parking and nice outdoor seating. Definitely the best option in Taradale!

We desperately needed a birthday cake and there isn't much other options to choose from in this area. We knocked on the door as we saw a lady cleaning inside the store. The lady came out and we told her if there's any cake left, we'll buy it! And there was this beautifully made salted caramel chocolate cake... it was to die for!!! It's got crunchy caramel bits like hokey pokey (New Zealand ice cream flavor) in between layers and it was topped with caramel sauce and chocolate bits. It was so perfect and I wouldn't change a thing! I'll be sure to stop by when they're actually open next time and check out other pastries and baked goods! Thank you so much for selling us your last cake!

I ordered a long black hoping to taste the flavor notes written on their bag, but what I tasted instead was a lot of nothing. To be clear, I bought their Kenyan single origin beans that I've yet to try and I'm hoping for a better experience brewing the coffee myself. I went ahead and bought the bag because I saw a long line behind me and my past experience with any single origin coffee beans have been good. I was a bit disappointed not to see any "roasted on" date, which is usually an indicator by the roaster of their craftsmanship. Great roasters often add a "roasted on" date to let coffee aficionados know the freshness of the beans. Older coffee beans lose their flavors and anything older than 1-2 months are normally considered undesirable. Furthermore, I was surprised that the person who checked me out for the single origin beans had no idea what they were. I had to point out "Single Origin" on their menu for them to realize I was referring to their specialty coffee beans. They do have a cute menu and a small seating area inside. They roast their beans onsite and I watched the roaster work behind a glass window while I was there. Overall, I wasn't too impressed by their coffee, but it's possible I ordered the wrong drink.
