Even after my last visit 9 years ago, Amaretti Desserts is still absolute heaven! After dinner, my…read morefriend wanted to buy several desserts for his family and himself. Staff were friendly, the decor is still the same since last visit. For this visit, I ordered the Chocolate Overload Cake, Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake and Apple Pie (for my partner). 1) Chocolate Overload Cake - rich, sweet, moist, soft and lasted a few days because it was so good. 2) Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake - rich, smooth, soft, sweet. Wonderful! 3) Apple Pie - Sadly, didn't get the chance to eat the apple pie since my partner already ate it. Overall, desserts were amazing and enjoyed them. Looking forward to more!

Walked in 30 min before close and the baristas were so sweet and patient. It was my first time and…read moreI was excited to see they had some fall specials. I decided on the apple butter latte, roommate got the pumpkin chai. They were both really good drinks. TBH the latte wasn't as sweet as I was expecting but it was still tasty as the espresso tasted delicious. I also bought a matcha chocolate chip cookie which was heavy on the matcha flavor which I enjoyed. The ambiance was really comforting and cozy. Something about the lighting made it feel that way. It's almost decorated like someone's nice living room. It just felt good and I immediately thought about how my other coffee loving friend needs to come here. They also have a rewards system where you can get 5 dollars off for your birthday which is pretty sweet. Ok thanks for reading this, highly recommend!!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because the staff was that good. From the second I…read morewalked in, everyone was genuinely friendly and made me feel right at home. The coffee was really good too, and I loved how creative the menu was. They definitely have some fun drinks you don't see everywhere. The food, though... it was just okay. Not bad by any means, but it didn't really match how much I enjoyed everything else. I had a muffin that looked amazing but tasted a little underwhelming. The inside is a vibe. Plenty of seating whether you're meeting up with friends, knocking out some work, or just enjoying a coffee by yourself. I'd absolutely come back for the coffee and the atmosphere. If the food stepped up a notch, this would easily be a 5-star.

Brass Tacks for the win. I have heard about this place and thought 'meh' another coffee place. Well…read moremy sincere apologies to all. Very clean walking in. It was about half full at 2 pm with people studying or enjoying themselves. The person at the counter was perfect. Friendly without being pushy. We originally ordered a pumpkin spice latte and Vietnamese coffee with a cinnamon roll. When I was taking pics for Yelp I saw a blueberry lemon cookie and that was it for me. I sincerely hoped they weren't going to massacre this thing. It was huge and delicious. Perfect balance of everything. I will be ordering two more to-go before I leave this place. It was a rainy day on our visit or I would have sat outside and enjoyed the day. But inside was definitely comforting and enjoyable. Come here it is definitely worth a visit.

Kookaburra...what happened?…read more When we first moved to Saint John's a few years ago from California, I thought the speciality coffee was sure to disappoint. However, to my surprise, Kookaburra had phenomenal lattes. On top of that it's a great place to bring the kids and was our Saturday ritual we looked to do after taking my girls to the dance studio nearby. However, for the past 6 months the quality of the lattes has deteriorated. The lattes come out either too bitter, watery and/or EXTREMELY hot. (It is possible to burn the milk while you froth it.) I'm not sure what it is, maybe the machines aren't being cleaned frequently, the espresso isn't dialed in, there is a new staff that isn't trained properly and pays attention to details? This is also not a one time occasion. I have come back many times and hoped the quality would be different. I've given back my latte and pointed out its ways too hot , the milk hasn't frothed well, etc, but still leave disappointed. One thing that I can't wrap my mind around is that there is a coffee shop about 10 minutes (Mikes Pour) which sources their beans Kookaburra and were initially trained by Kookaburra. Same recipes , just different name AND better taste. This place can be the perfect shop for the neighborhood. And I love the brand and was inclined to buy some swag. I'll be back eventually , with the hope the quality has improved. This place has the potentially to be 5 stars..

Apparently 21 Queen Street does and I was able to get it delivered before I got home from work. I ordered the Blood Orange Peach Lemonade, a Butterfly Peaberry Lemonade, and a Hot Americano with Apple, Cinnamon Roll, and Almond Milk. When we got them the labels on the cold drinks were flipped so we started drinking each others. I was actually drinking his Blood Orange Peach Lemonade labeled as the Butterfly Peaberry and he was drinking my Butterfly labeled as the Blood Orange. The Blood Orange was really sweet but still good and he stated the Butterfly Peaberry was subtly sweet and flowery. He drank the Americano but he stated it was bland. That may have been because he drank it the next day. It smelled really good when it was delivered, not sure what happened after that. I'd get them again. They got some other tasty sounding drinks

There is seating both inside and outside, sweet and savory treats and a really good coffee selection. Inside is clean, neat and relaxing and that's where we chose to enjoy our coffee on this hot day. The staff were welcoming, friendly and informative and my coffee was really solid. If you like strong coffee, get an espresso shot. If you're into bold but smooth, leave it alone. It was really a nice blend. Lucky Goat is a good choice if you're looking for a great coffee shop and bakery near the Town Center.

We ended up trying the apple fritter, Pumpkin Freezer, and an iced vanilla latte, and everything was good. The Pumpkin Freezer especially might be dangerous now that pumpkin season is back. For a first visit, definitely not bad at all. Good drinks, good service, and plenty on the menu to come back and try. I can see why people like this place.

The woman was very informative when my husband asked about larger party orders and was able to provide options immediately. The inside is adorable. There is a cute neon sign (always good for pics), flowers everywhere, cute French terrace looking tables and chairs. The pastry display is right in front, so it's easy to make your choices before you get to the register. The spinach feta pastry was good but we felt it could have been fuller and had a little seasoning. The s'mores iced late was good but not necessarily something I'm going to list after. The guava cheese cruffin.... I saw stars. It was so good. The cream cheese was rich and delicious, the outside of the cruffin had a caramelization to it and was so good. The Dubai stuffed croissant was good. It had the crunchies on the inside with pistachio cream then chocolate and crushed pistachios on top. Again, the greedy in me wanted it fuller, but it was great. I'd definitely go back for a cruffin... there were so many flavors I wanted to try like Nutella, lemon curd blueberry, cinnamon cheese. There was a tiramisu pastry and a creme brûlée pastry that looked amazing.

There are also games and things to do if you're inclined. Definitely recommend giving them a try if you're looking for something new.
