The staff were so nice as I got greeted the second I entered the cafe. The place was cute and great for chatting with friends on weekend afternoons. I didn't know what to expect with the pistachio mocha at first. It just sounded unique to me. I was impressed by how I could taste all three of the coffee, chocolate, and pistachio flavor! They were balanced just right.

This coffee shop was full of customers (young adults). A couple of customers were waiting for seats or their friends or someone. I went into here to buy a cup of latte to go. There was only one barista. He was a middle age Asian gentleman. He smiled and took my order. He basically handled all the service and made coffee for all customers (today Monday). The cup of latte was good or above average. Not too bitter and not too milky. The heart pattern of the latte looked pretty. I didn't try their pastries though. Maybe I will come back one day and try something else. I had a pleasant visit and experience here.

The interior is well laid out with stool window seats, small tables along the walls, and a gorgeous wooden table at the end. The walls are professionally decorated with framed shots by local photographers. On to the star of the show...the coffee. I started with shot of potent espresso topped with oat milk. What a heavenly combo that was! I took the time to slowly savour each sip. They're not just about coffee, despite the name. The Jasmine loose leaf tea is very fragrant and provides a very nice alternative to those who prefer tea. Feeling a bit hungry, I added an almond croissant produced by a local bakery nearby. I love how this indie is supporting his own local businesses. Better yet, the croissant was sooooo nice right to the last bite....and of course, I scraped up all the crumbs and enjoyed that just as much. Lastly, the owner who took over the shop this summer is a gentleman. He knows his coffee!! I hope everyone in the area will keep supporting the Indies.

I just adore the atmosphere & customer service here. It's a truly community coffee shop & people…read moreworking here go the extra mile (thanks again Gary - you saved me with a much needed Ginger Rogers least week!). Truly, you know the food, coffee & tea is good when there's times that the line up nearly goes to the door & no seats are available inside or out. Certain times of the year they have special drinks featured but the staff is so wonderful that if there's something you liked from a past season, if they still have the ingredients, they'll make it. Lately, Ginger Rogers is my treat to boost my day. Honestly, I've tried so many food options & haven't had a meh reaction to any. There's wraps & paninis plus desserts & cookies & take home items ranging from pancake & cookie mixes, jams & syrups to frozen meals. I think it's decently priced for being in this part of the world & like I mentioned, it's always a decent meal or snack. For accessibility, all the tables are moveable. So you could adjust away from the benches & chairs to allow a walker or wheel chair. But as this cafe is smaller, for those with baby strollers, I would recommend leaving them outdoors & bringing in the essentials with your baby/kids. The door isn't automatic but the handles & space around would allow for most to access the doors (providing that the local puppers aren't tied right next to the door & baby strollers are parked far enough back). Parking has one handicap but I would actually recommend parking closer to the vet clinic side, as that would be easier for drop off & pick up for those with mobility aids. There's also a generous patio area for people to sit with umbrellas. So it is very common to see many people sitting with their dogs outside enjoying the weather & a coffee. Bathrooms (there's 2) are accessed by keys provided by staff. It's been a long time since I needed to use them but they were in decent condition considering the range of people that could use them in the day. Might be a bit tricky to maneuver a wheelchair that way but walker & cane users could navigate past the extra door, random pop-up displays & extra table in the business lobby side. This cafe also allows laptop usage throughout the week but laptop free on weekends. After what I seen today (& it has increased in amount of people from other days I've seen), I'm very glad that's the case. Some people legit bring their whole office, including their screen raisers, extra tech options to headphones and such... I personally think if you need to take up a 4 seat space for your "online needs" & you give off the energy that it's serious work, perhaps the library down the road (which allows room bookings so you could do webinars or group work) or look to rent a temp office space might be better for work. But that's just my two cents as a disabled person who notices this happening more often in a lot more cafes lately. I hope these extra tech office travellers at least buy more than a coffee as all the food is really great here & this cafe deserves to be well supported by all. Definitely give it a try if you're in the PoMo area. Especially if you're already planning on walking into the inlet area to Rocket Point park & pier.

When I asked if it was actually a cold brew, I was met with attitude and defensiveness. I was a barista for years, so from my perspective, that level of service was unacceptable. If it were me behind the bar, I would have said something like, "You know what, that doesn't look right. Can I add a shot of espresso or get you something else instead?" A little honesty and willingness to make it right go a long way. Fail.

I came in here for lunch with my parents while they were in town on the suggestion of my mom and we both enjoyed it. Since my mom and I have very similar tastes (we're pretty much on in the same) we ordered the ham breakfast wrap and the mini pancakes (with chocolate sauce) to split and we each othered a waves sized chai latte. I'm pretty picky about my chai lattes in that I like them to be on the spicer side and not sweeter like some places make them. And so I really judge a coffee house (if they offer them) based on that. The chai latte I got here was absolute perfection! I will definitely be coming back just for that alone. As for the ham breakfast wrap and mini, they were yummy and hit the spot to satisfy my hunger. I will also be giving them another go... perhaps next time the caramel sauce on the pancakes? Definitely​ check this place out!

I had just one cardamom cookie when I came in. They're very small and more expensive for one but you could get 3 for $5.
