At Esquires, I don't know what it is, machine, bowl, care, milk or what...... but just the most lushest velvety foam ever. Never had a bad cap and will literally drive 20 mins out of my way past 10 coffee joints for their cap fare. I never get it to go, only china plz, sit outside and enjoy the lazy goings on. I always sprinkle generous amounts of chocolate on top (not cocoa-yech). They give you this tiny coke spoon and you'll use it on that billowing mound. Don't know why so many Eq. have closed. This one remains tucked away in a cozy location on Crescent road. Catch it before or after the beach. Especially cozy inside on a rainy day. TIP: grab a heavenly, warm, gooey, real french linen, 1M calorie cinnamon bun down below at Fieldstones. Thats it .....I've talked myself into both....leaving now with my best 4 legged friend. Peace out

My favorite is the Mocha Frappe, perfect balance of chocolate and coffee. Comfy seating inside and out.

We went to the Sunflower Cafe on family day this week. When we arrived we were there would be a…read morewait. I ordered 2 turkey toasted sandwiches and two bowls of Moroccan pea soup. When the food arrived we got two half sandwiches and two cups of soup. I explained this to the waitress and she brought out someone from the kitchen who told me I was wrong and had paid for two half sandwiches and cup of soups. My diabetic husband and brother in law visiting from Ontario did not have enough food and we left to go home and prepare additional food since we had already waited an hour to get our order. I was impressed with the food but will never go back the error was not mine and if the staff incorrectly rang in our order when my sister and I were at the counter they could at least have apologized for the error. Sadly this review will be shared with friends and family across the country. So disappointed in our treatment.

Today my boyfriend took me for breakfast to Dudes, and I can honestly say that it was the best…read morebreakfast I've ever had in a restaurant! And that's saying a lot from me! All the food behind the glass looked so good, and I was going to settle on an egg salad on a croissant but then I looked at the menu, I chose the salmon with caramelized fennel, and augala ...It came with 2 poached eggs cooked exactly how I chose, and slices of avocado on the dish as well. I never liked avocado for breakfast, but it all looked so fresh and the smoked salmon was perfect! All on a home made in house croissant! So delicious The owner/chef brought it to our table and talked with us for a while. He gets 5 stars from us! We were very happy, and now I will always say yes when I am asked out for breakfast or lunch!! lol

Amazing light fluffy muffin and the sandwiches looked spectacular! At least a Little parking lot…read moreso no parking worries there. Lots of seating even for a large group for a coffee shop. Only thing I'm not a fan of the "F Bomb" coffee display. Judging from your relaxed somewhat elderly dog walking clientele we aren't after "edgy" I'll definitely be back -just maybe not with my kids.

When I told him that's inappropriate and unacceptable, he continued to make racist comments, until we left, and his rantings followed us out the door. Do not give this place your business. It's a real shame that Mila's Honeycakes has to share a building with this lunatic; they're lovely, but I will never go back and I don't think anyone else should, either. Avoid at all costs.

To be fair I only had coffee - decaf - and it was really good. An americano. And they had cinnamon. Which always makes me like a place more. The place was super busy (truth and reconciliation day) but the staff were all really nice albeit exhausted. Didn't stay in because it was loud but I liked the ambiance and would enjoy hanging around there on a quieter day.

We had a nice chat about the store (I asked a lot of questions) and about the area. My favourite part is the little cubbies they have for locals to keep their mugs in. The coffee selection is what you'd expect, a few fancy drinks, lots of teas and local drip coffee. I went for the drip coffee, black. It was perfect. There is a clothing/retail side to the store that's worth a look, loads of cool stuff like bike tire belts and fun shirts. If you happen to be in the area it's a must visit for sure! I will be back many times.

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.
