This is a modern version of an old skool butcher shop where you can get pretty much any cut of meat your heart desires. Definitely carnivore heaven. These local butcher shops used to be on every neighbourhood block one time ago. But with prepackaged mass factory meat they have become a thing of the past. Good eats!

I've tried other butchers--some were overpriced, others just weren't good--but this place strikes the perfect balance between quality and affordability.

A few years back, they even smoked a turkey for me, I bought the bird and brought it in and it was one of the best smoked turkeys I've ever had it save me the time and hassle. The aroma was unforgettable! I Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants great meats without breaking the bank! Works wonderful if you're on a budget cuz you can buy a frozen pack that goes a long ways.

My single shot was perfect down to the exact amount of crema and smooth finish. Plenty more to boot, like a great selection of wines and various sauces, more than possible to take in on a single visit. I stopped by thinking it was simply a coffee/espresso bar but found much more. In talking to my family who are new to the area and are great cooks, I found they were already well aware and are making use of their services, including special orders for their work. This is a destination to seek out, not simply a neighborhood spot. I'd drive across the city to get what they're offering here. That good. Very highly recommended.
