Wow! I am a black coffee drinker and I rarely ever get specialty coffees, but after having lunch…read moreat the nearby Bao and Broth (fabulous meal of noodles and dumplings), my sister and I decided to give Cotti Coffee a try. They seem to share the dining room with another restaurant (some type of fish hot pot place), and it wasn't busy when we arrived. If you're not dining in, you are prompted by a server to order your drinks at the counter. I ordered the daily special Coco tutti cold with 30% sugar and it was perfectly sweet with a hint of coconut milk. The coconut milk was not overpowering, but added a nice exotic twist. At $3.99, this was a steal! They seem to offer many interesting flavored coffee and tea drinks, so I plan to return to give other items a try.

Most recently I had their cocoa flavored latte and it did not disappoint. It comes with Cocoa, some of their classic syrup, there are 3.25% milk and espresso sauce. It is nice and sweet and definitely has a great mocha flavor without being too sweet. I came back the next day and got their green tea espresso latte which was also very good. I would definitely come back. The lady at the front desk is very nice and you can ask for more espresso shots if it is too sweet or other preference you have is usually honest free of charge.

After ordering and grabbing our drinks, the staff informed us that they can give extra coffee if it's not strong enough for us - what a great service they have. I got their strawberry coffee which not only looked great but also tasted good as well. Love supporting local coffee shops, and I really enjoyed this one. Can't wait to try their other drinks as well that isn't coffee!

I wish they had earlier hours throughout the week. The display and seating were very clean which made picking out the stuffed croissants very appealing and appetizing. We had the tiramisu, potato bacon, mango coconut and strawberry matcha. Each one was full of light, creamy, and delicious filling. The breading portion was very nice but I would have preferred it to be more flaky and more of a buttery croissant flavour and texture. Overall, we enjoyed the stuffed croissants and we will be back for more. On the price side, it was very high. The 4 stuffed croissants came out to $29.15. But For the value and experience we received, it was well worth it. Go and try for yourself, you will see.

The service was prompt and efficient, and there were a few spots inside for seating. It was quiet on a Saturday afternoon when we got there, but more people started coming in afterwards, and got some iced matcha (despite the cold, haha)! The hojicha latte was tasty as well, it tasted similar to the ones we had in Japan.

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

A friend brought me to a café today, Karkami Cafe. The space has lots of windows, which makes it…read morefeel bright and comfortable. I can imagine it being especially nice in the summer when their outdoor seating is open. That said, it was a Sunday, so it was busy. The indoor acoustics aren't great, making it quite noisy. Once the crowd started to thin out, though, the atmosphere became much more enjoyable. The owner was very warm and friendly. When she was clearing our table, she noticed I hadn't finished my spicy shrimp linguine and kindly asked if something was wrong. There wasn't the dish was actually quite good, just a very generous portion that I couldn't finish. The menu also offers a wide variety of food and drinks. One small downside: the hot drinks (at least the latte I ordered) weren't served very hot, which could be improved. The only reason I'd rate it three stars is due to one staff member, a male server who came across as quite rude. When I asked him for a spoon for my pasta, he responded with a visibly annoyed expression, which was honestly off-putting. If I didn't know he was just one of the staff, I probably wouldn't consider coming back

I would give this place 3.5 stars. I love the ambience of…read morethe place; the soft music, presentation of food and top-notch customer service. They assisted in getting a high chair for my baby and helping me find seating while pushing a stroller which helped greatly. The presentation of food was also amazing. I just found both my hot drink and food I ordered lacking in flavor and just average. I ordered the hojicha latte and the Wanoka omurice. Both I could barely taste anything and I know hojicha should be a rich, earthy/toasty/nutty green tea flavor but I couldn't taste any of it, just mostly steamed milk. However my friend really enjoyed her matcha latte so maybe some drinks are better than others or dependent on who makes it. The omurice also was average, the texture/consistency was great but just lacking in flavor. I also ordered a tuna onigiri that also was lacking in flavor and nothing special. However, I did find their desserts to be really great. Found their tofu cream cheese cake and green tea chiffon cake really delicious. Their prices also were a bit overpriced. Perhaps it's best to go to this place for drinks and dessert and skip out on their food.

We shared the Mango Bingsu, and it was huge--easily enough for the five of us. The flavor was a solid 9/10, super refreshing and delicious. If they had crispy corn flakes on top, it would've been a straight 10/10 for me. We also got two Dalgona Lattes, one with oat milk, and she differentiated them with the coasters, which was such an adorable touch. Now I need to go back just to try more drinks! Parking was free but a little awkward--spots are at an angle, and the plaza can get busy. But honestly, it's worth it. When we went, a few moms were catching up over bingsu, and it was such a wholesome vibe. Can't wait to be back and explore more of the menu!

Was happy to see they still carry the same menu items - especially my favourite injeolmi bingsu! (which I highly recommend). We tried the matcha croffle for the first time today. The croffle was nice and crispy and not too sweet. It was topped with matcha whipped cream(?), which was nice and light but feel as though matcha ice cream might have paired better. Service was friendly and quick as usual. There's free parking at the plaza, though a bit tricky to find a spot during peak hours (dinner-time to closing).

I didn't…read morerealize it was located in a small plaza called J-town with other goodies and foods to choose from, but the fact that it was surrounded by other places made the experience better, as I got to shop around. First impressions was that it was in a cozy area and was very welcoming. Not only do they have drinks but they also have tea, coffee, mugs, crochet coasters, and other cute goodies that they sell. Me and my sister got the mango matcha latte and the peach matcha latte and we absolutely loved it. My sister's a matcha aficionado and she loved their matcha latte. I would say that the matcha is quite expensive but I could tell that it is high quality which makes up for it. I spent about $24 for 2 of the large sized matcha lattes. Their drinks were quite good and so if I'm ever around the area I'd come back to try more of their drinks! The server was also quite nice.
