Love this addition in the Chinatown neighborhood! Having been here usually on weekends, they do get…read morequite busy (both cafe side and photo lab side). I usually get a flat white and you can let them know if you will be drinking in store so they do not give you a to go cup. The resident dog in store (I hope it is because each time I see him there haha) is adorable and so well behaved!! I really enjoy the vibes here but do keep in mind the store is slightly below ground level and there are stairs going down so not wheelchair accessible.

I stumbled upon Graination as I was walking along Spadina this week. I saw the words "specialty…read morecoffee" and I knew I had to pay a visit inside. Turns out they are in their soft opening currently where they opened about a week or two ago. Despite the coffee shop in the front of the store, they also have a photo lab at the back of the space. I saw lots of film being sold as well as overheard that they have processing services as well. I primarily came to try their coffee so I can't comment much on the photo lab services. Coffee wise the menu is basic and simple. A bit on the pricer side compared to other coffee shops in the city. They use Hatch coffee beans. I ordered a flat white to consume there. The staff were friendly and attentive and my drink was made at a reasonable time. The flat white was great. As I sipped on my drink, I admired the photography on display. They also have photography books to browse through as well! Overall, great new addition to the Chinatown area. Love the coffee and photo lab concept. Definitely would return to spend time in the space for a coffee!

My family and I have come here anytime we need a photo for ID. This latest visit was for a visa…read more They knew exactly what the requirements were. They are professional and love their work and it really shows. There's a mirror with combs and spraybottle in case you want to do some last min touch ups. They give directions for hair, pose, as well as some post shoot touchups. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and the photos always turn out really nice. I've had a few people see my passport and ask where I've gotten the photo done. Their prices are great too. My dad got lazy once and went somewhere else closer and he paid more for 1 copy than we usually do for 2. We haven't gone anywhere else ever since. This time I ended up getting two digital photos, but you have the choice of digital or 2 hard copy, and you can always come back later if you decide you also want the hard copy. Keep in mind it's cash only. They also do photo for babies. My go to spot for photos, highly recommend.

6 Steps to Passport Photo Success:…read more 1) Walk into convenience store 2) Ask guy if they do passport photos 3) Guy pulls down white screen to stand in front of and pulls out his camera and takes a picture of you 4) Guy prints pictures (he took 3 shots, let me choose which) 5) I pay the low price of $11.30 after tax for my photos 6) I leave within a 5 minute window of arrival With such a quick and easy experience and a cheap $10 fee (one place I called wanted $20 and wasn't open as late), I'm not sure why I wouldn't give this 5 stars.

This despite the fact that there were 4-5 employees doing other things. Because I had so much time, I looked at the buying some frames. However, the shelves were such a mess with frames put into slots with different items mixed together that it became impossible to figure anything out. Ultimately, my biggest complaint was that I had I to come back to the store multiple times because the manager lied to me and then refused to acknowledge the problem. I will definitively take my business elsewhere. I pointed this all out to the manager and he could not care less.

Pictures were ready in 3 minutes as promised, but I never expected the level of service and kindness I was shown in a passport photo shop!

So, I was trying to decide between ordering my photography gear from Downtown Camera or Aden…read moreCamera. Let's just say I won't be giving Aden a single dollar. Didn't even walk into the store, and already got major bad vibes. Called to ask about a backordered item, and the guy on the phone was super rude--like, aggressively unhelpful, with this weird arrogant tone. Who talks to customers like that? I just wanted info, not a side of attitude with my question. As someone who loves photography, I'd way rather support places where the staff actually wants to help you, you know? Steer clear of these guys. Seriously, Aden's management needs to rethink their hiring--this kind of vibe is why people bounce. Check the reviews; I'm definitely not the only one who's had this experience. On the flip side, Downtown Camera was awesome. Texted them, got quick replies, they added me to a waitlist without any hassle, and answered all my questions. Night-and-day difference.
