Skoom Coffee located along King St. E. near George St. is a new coffee shop serving up coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. They roast their own coffee beans which they use in all their coffees. Cookies and pastries are plentiful and there is a wide variety of focaccia sandwiches as well. The space is accessible where there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The back patio is perfect for the summer weather, although there are a few steps to access it. The cafe is cashless.
Menu wise, they have coffee (both iced and hot), espresso based drinks, teas, and other iced drinks like matcha latte and chai latte. Food wise they have breakfast burritos, baked goods like croissants, muffins, and scones, as well as salads and sandwiches.
I stopped by Skoom Coffee on a Sunday late morning. The place was busy at the front with customers enjoying their coffee and pastries. I opted to grab an iced Americano which was made at a reasonable time. Service was friendly. Although there were lots of people sitting at the front of the cafe, there is additional seating at the back. I also went out to look at the back patio but it was starting to rain so I headed back inside. The vibes of the cafe are bright, where it is perfect to work, catch up with friends, or be with family.
Overall, a great new coffee shop along King St. E. (near Jarvis!). read more
