In fact, I almost missed it when I first came by! There's a good amount of seating inside if you want to sit down and work or chat, and the space gives off a somewhat urban-rustic, cozy vibe with the exposure brick and pipes. I opted for a flat white and enjoyed it! Though I haven't had the chance to try their baked goods yet, I've been assured by friends that they are delicious.

We'd just finished eating a tasty brunch at the nearby Undefined and figured we should try to get…read moresomething for dessert. Chocolat on James seemed like a perfect solution, since we could get something sweet but not insanely filling. A quick perusal of their many offerings led me directly to their Tortoise, so I went with the milk chocolate version and it was fantastic. I've always been a fan of turtles (who isn't, really?) and this was absolutely one of the best versions I've ever had. The chocolate was delectable and the pecans and caramel inside was just as good. I'm almost glad that Chocolat on James is so far away from my apartment, because I could see myself eating those Tortoises on a daily basis.

I initially went to try the Pistachio latte but I was curious about the Spanish latte after reading over the menu. It had condensed milk in it and that is what won me over. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and it actually was really refreshing. The staff were friendly and took their time to explain what their lattes consisted of. The inside was quite big and decorated very nice. I will be going back to try the Pistachio latte this week. If you are in the area and want to try a new place for coffee. Go here!!

It's dimly lit and the people that served us were very nice I love it!

Came here with a vegan friend for dinner. We had the fried cauliflower, which were coated in a…read morethick layer of batter and deliciously sweet and spicy sauce. Definitely did not taste like chicken but still tasty. The big mac burger was however, phenomenal. It tasted exactly like a big mac and was covered in special sauce, lettuce, and vegan meat crumbles. It was quite expensive at $15, and was not particularly large, but I would get it again because it truly was so delicious. The smores desert cake we had was much too sweet, but still fun to share with a friend. Atmosphere was nice, with board games as well. The staff was very friendly and I would recommend this place for any plant based enthusiasts. The only issue is that it is quite expensive for the serving sizes.

Good idea to have a date night special for food and games: by the time Friday comes around we're usually too lazy to cook because we're exhausted! What better place to unwind, playing board games on the huge tables is most convenient but the smaller tables are more cosy. Nice selection of games too and good advice about what games to play and HOW to play them! I like it that they added some local games / locally designed games, nice touch. Oh yeah and try the floats too.

I ordered the matcha which was really good and they use the matcha from "Matcha Matcha" in Toronto which I love. I know it's a coffee shop, but I do wish they had more matcha options.

Even though this is primarily a coffee bar, I am firmly in my matcha era right now, so that's what I went for. It was pretty decent, and I really liked that they use ceremonial grade matcha. I added vanilla syrup to mine for a little extra flavor which was a nice touch. I don't want to rate the place unfairly since I didn't actually try their coffee this time around, but based on the vibe, I would definitely go back to try a latte next time.
