Being a fan of their ramen, when I read online that they were revamping it into a coffee shop, it was surely on my list! I finally took the time to go to the coffee shop during the holidays, which was empty but understandably, it being the holidays and in an area mostly filled with students..which I assume is the main clientele during peak hours. They only serve coffee using the V60 hand drip coffee method, which is fine by me! I do wonder what the wait time is when the coffee shop is filled though. We ordered two coffees and two onigiris. The coffee beans are from a local roaster, and teas from Camelia Sinensis. There were four different kinds of onigiris, and a few pastries. I have to say I was disappointed the pastries were not Japanese influenced, and that the onigiris were underwhelming and honestly on the pricey side for onigiris. I will surely come back to try the more substantial meal options when they are available and for the coffee, which was great.

Epic espresso-based drinks and you can make a special request for things not on the menu, like a matcha latte. Yes, they have oat milk! This place is brand new as of this summer, but they've got really amazing summertime infrastructure set up so I would imagine they will continue on through the fall, and re-open in the spring. there's plenty of shade, so you can feel cool sitting around, either on the patio out front overlooking the canal or outback in the sand filled volleyball court-like set up with picnic tables. Really great service, too. Hop on your bike (or a Bixi) and check 'em out! Not far from the Atwater market, so if you aren't a cyclist you can always just stroll on over.

There are several tables and seating areas to interact with the cats. Tots are provided. We saw 6-7 cats, but most were not very interactive.

A very simple and fun activity to do with your partner or friends. We absolutely loved our candles. We also liked that we could also decorate and pick out our own sticker for it. We didn't get any drinks but if you are making candles, the drinks and food are 10% off. Definitely recommend booking online!

We went for a Soup du Jour and a Spinach Koukou Sandwich. Soup was hearty and filling. Sandwich was good. We also did a takeout of their pistachio cake, which was really really good. Definitely recommended. Many seating options in the café and you could see a lot of stuff from the 80s and the 90s are probably even earlier. Really takes you down the memory lane. The owners are nice and friendly people. Unfortunate that they are selling, but hopefully the new management will keep things as good. Parking can be a little challenging as there is only street parking. Definitely try this place.

My saffron affogato was served in a gorgeously detailed tea cup. If I went back, I would just get the saffron gelato (with pistachios, rose, and jaggery(?) chunks) all on its own without the espresso. I've never had anything like it and it was so refreshing on a hot day. Not too sweet either! Logistics: - indoor seating, there might have been a bench outside - limited street parking nearby - attached to a tattoo and gift shop!

Just a few minutes walk from the Laurier station on the Orange line metro, we found this really cute cafe and although it's located on quite a busy street, just down the stairs basically beneath the street level, you'll be in this quaint, quiet retreat from the chaos that is just a few steps above you. The staff were so warm and welcoming and the iced latte was one of the best I had during our entire trip. My wife's matcha latte was also pretty good. Although we stuck with quite basic drinks, they also feature a number of really creative drinks as well if you're in the mood to experiment. This cafe is cozy and not only is it a great place for both espresso and matcha-based drinks, it's a great place to relax and catch up with friends or research your next move if you're visiting like we were. Highly recommended!
