Such a gem in New West!…read more My partner and I just went here for coffee today and he ordered a cappuccino, while I got myself a matcha latte. Both drinks were made exceptionally well; impressively smooth, foamy, balanced, and clearly prepared with care rather than just being an afterthought. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The vibe feels genuinely inclusive and community-driven, with thoughtful touches like the pop-up bookstore featuring books on race, gender, and queer authors. It feels like a space built for connection, not just coffee. I also love how it transforms depending on the day. The daytime café energy is cozy and welcoming, while on select nights they stay open longer, serve alcohol, and host regular events like DJ nights, board game nights, and other community gatherings. It gives the space a lot of personality and makes it feel alive beyond the usual coffee shop experience. Definitely one of those places that feels more like a neighborhood hub than just a café. I'll be visiting a lot more soon!

What a hidden gem! I loved the matcha and the barista was so nice :) I was surprised to see that…read morethey have both matcha and hojicha on their menu. The matcha taste was not too strong and not the umami matcha but still good nonetheless. I got it with oat milk instead and there wasn't an up charge. It doesn't come with sweetener and u can taste the matcha without it much more but I added 2 pumps of sugar and found that it increased the oat milk taste too much. I would recommend 1-1.5 pumps of liquid sugar (the barista helped me put it in so just ask!). The inside of the cafe was quite cute and they even had a little clothing rack selling second hand items like clothes and shoes! The space is quite big and spacious and has seating at the back as well and washrooms.

Not totally comfortable for long period but good for an hour or so. And you do want a quick turnover so more customers can dine in. I've been here a couple of times and it gets busier after 11 am. Quiet in the morning with most people having coffee to go. Service is great. They will bring your food and coffee to you when dining in which is unexpected. The flat white is ok, could do with more microfoam but it's good enough. The pastries are really nice. Get the croissant warm up for a better bite.

Finally tried this place after seeing it a number of times whenever I was in the complex. Ordered…read morean oat milk latte, my usual coffee drink, and I was able to choose from 2 options of espresso beans they were brewing for the day. Also got a blueberry scone which was very buttery and delicious! I also love that they give you your drink order in real mugs/cups if you're dining in. The ambiance was your typical coffee shop -- quiet with soft lofi music playing in the background. There were high and low tables, some with comfy/soft chairs, while others had the bar style chairs. The tables each had the wifi password so for those staying a while and needing internet while working, you don't have to ask the baristas for the wifi password. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is I wish they would've provided more baked goods or food options. They had one sandwich option when I came in before 11am, a bagel option, and just a handful of different pastries. The shelves looked half empty so I'm assuming there's normally more options? Still good to try if you're wanting good coffee in the area.

After wanting to stop in and try this coffee shop for a good long while I finally had the chance…read moreto. I came in here for lunch with my parents while they were in town on the suggestion of my mom and we both enjoyed it. Since my mom and I have very similar tastes (we're pretty much on in the same) we ordered the ham breakfast wrap and the mini pancakes (with chocolate sauce) to split and we each othered a waves sized chai latte. I'm pretty picky about my chai lattes in that I like them to be on the spicer side and not sweeter like some places make them. And so I really judge a coffee house (if they offer them) based on that. The chai latte I got here was absolute perfection! I will definitely be coming back just for that alone. As for the ham breakfast wrap and mini, they were yummy and hit the spot to satisfy my hunger. I will also be giving them another go... perhaps next time the caramel sauce on the pancakes? Definitely​ check this place out!

OVERALL: Great experience! Their food and coffee is amazing, their space is quaint but cozy, so…read morecute! We only got to-go so we didn't get to relish in the space, but would come back again if I could! FOOD + DRINKS: Super yum! I got the 106 Latte and I liked it! It only comes cold, so just an fyi! Typically comes with 3 pumps of sweetener but I asked for 2 since I like my drinks less sweet. I also got less ice since I didn't want it to be too cold! I loved the drink though, it was perfect! The coffee was strong enough and the flavor wasn't overpowering, and especially, wasn't too sweet, just how I like it! We also got a hot lavender latte which, surprisingly, wasn't too sweet as well! Perfect intensity of caffeine with flavor! HONORABLE MENTION: CHICKEN PESTO SANDWICH!!!! I never get food from cafes multiple reasons: too pricey, never know how long they have been there for, have there been flies in the refrigerator, etc. There is just so many unknowns with the quality of the food. But the kind lady at the register, when I asked about the sandwiches, she was so excited about it! Hahaha! I thought it was so amusing that she herself was so in love with these sandwiches, she gets them all the time is what she told me. I was feeling hungry and we had a long ride ahead of us so I got the chicken pesto sandwich! Individually wrapped in the refrigerator, only two of each kind, it looked sanitary and reasonable, and so was the price! It was toasted and cut in half for us. When we ate it, it was SO YUM! I usually each my sandwiches with hot sauce, which I forgot to inquire about, but it was so yummy I didn't even miss it! So awesome!!!! AMBIANCE: Small, cute, quaint! There are a few seats available, bar seating at the window I could see myself sit there and do work at, a few tables for seating that you could find yourself catching up with someone at! It's a small area, but if youre looking for something warm and cozy, this is your spot :)

I ordered "homemade chili" with garlic toast for $7.75. It came in a small kitchen bowl. Garlic toast was just white toasted bread with some garlic powder sprinkled on top. Chili was literally tomato sauce in a bowl with diced crunchy (not thoroughly cooked) celery and onions, a few kidney beans, and no discernible meat whatsoever. I doubt any actual chili seasoning was used in the making of this "chili," as all I could taste was tomato sauce, and it had that exact look and texture. Very disappointing.
