Really cool space, definitely would be great for an afternoon tea. They have an outdoor patio, not that it was being used despite the beautiful day. Pastries and food selection is great. The staff is friendly... but slow and easily distracted. The cashier was taking a phone order while several of us were waiting, pretty unacceptable when another staff member should be able to take a call. We ordered a coffee and a mimosa. Well, they had to go back and check to see if they had juice... they did not. I asked for just the bubbly instead, she had to go back and check again. How do they not know or keep things on their menu in stock? Oh well, they had the bubbly so it was okay. For food we ordered a pastry and a croissant sandwich. The biscotti and pastry were delicious. For some reason, they decided to panini press the croissant sandwich. What the heck, who would do that? Why didn't they ask? Tasty sandwich, but completely ruined due to crushing the croissant. We were expecting it to come straight out of the case and at most maybe microwaved to warm it, not just destroyed in a panini press. Cool vibes, nice atmosphere, food is good, tea menu looks amazing. But, the staff don't seem to have a clue to what they are doing.

The almond croissant was mediocre. After being warmed up by staff, it lost any flakey taste delicateness that it may have originally had. The pumpkin latte tasted like it was made with bitter, burnt espresso. There was a nice amount of foam and the aftertaste was milder and more palatable. I just moved to Canada and hoped this cafe, which is full of potential, would become my go to. I was disappointed, but plan to come back to give the lunch menu a try.

The place was busy, but not crowded at all and we were able to easily find a seat. We ordered an omelette on an English muffin, smoked salmon on a bagel, flat white and a milk shake. Milk shakes are made fresh with ice cream. Breakfast food was just reheated pre-made, however the staff was wonderful and made us a fresh bagel with cream cheese when we asked for no onions. The flat white was great, similar but a bit better, then Starbucks. They have lots of non dairy options like soy and oat milk. The decor and food was standard for a coffee chain, would be nice if there was more local charm or more fresh made options.

Looking forward to returning many, many times.

The kadak chai was flavourful and yummy. Ginger and cardamom are the two main spices in the kadak. Next time I want to go over lunch so I can try the Tadka Maggi. Will definitely be back!

Beautifully decorated with a vintage vibe and lots of shabby-chic pieces. They seem extremely popular and busy even mid-afternoon; jammed-packed the whole time we were there and with a waiting line-up for a table. Gentleman who seemed to be the owner or manager was extremely pleasant and went above and beyond to find us a table quickly (even moving chairs around) after Cousin and I explained that Boyfriend (who was outside parking the car) would never wait for the 30 min announced at first. All the staff there seemed very nice, fast, constantly cleaning, arranging seating, serving, etc. We only had coffees (which were fine but nothing mind blowing) so I cannot judge on the menu. Would recommend this place though, if only for the super hardworking staff!

One time they totally shorted me, and by the time I realized I was already home (forgot to check). About 5 years ago my wife asked me to grab some late night burgers for her, and gave me some coupons. She was 7 months pregnant and didn't feel up to going out herself. Thought I'd grab something for myself too. Wouldn't let me use the coupons. The person staffing the drive-through intercom sounded mature, like a manager. He wasn't very accommodating, didn't care that my wife was stuck at home and pregnant. Cited one coupon per customer, yet there's nothing stopping multiple people from pretending to be separate customers during a walk-in visit (really a stupid stipulation anyways). Sometimes I think people could use a lesson in sensitivity and accommodation - they lost our business that night. I went to another McDonalds location that was happy to oblige. This is my least-favorite location to visit.

It's pretty spacious and holds tons and tons of wide range sports memorabilia. It was very busy in here and was pretty difficult to get some service as there was only 2 guys working. The high end hockey cards have it's own room / section in the back corner. We had to ask to find it. It was really fun and exciting like a kid in the candy store! Service was great just maybe a bit long as they were taking care of other people. However, they were really nice and kind. Prices: a bit too high .. I mean yes they gotta pay for rent and staff but still .. the cards were 10-30% more than the market value a bit hefty for me. They seem willing to negotiate if you ask them but it was still super pricey for certain things. Overall, it's a very nice and clean place lot's of items to discover have a look if you're into that kind of place like I am hihi Cheers
