Best Vanilla Latte I've had in years. Amazing place with people working, sitting, and great music they sell their own coffee and the "defog your glasses" is really nice.

This coffee shop has become my preferred destination for weekend mornings. The staff provide a welcoming and professional environment, ensuring a pleasant experience for customers. The coffee is consistently of high quality and ranks among the best in the area.

An adorable neighborhood cafe that serves really good coffee. It has that cozy, familiar vibe—like a real-life Cheers, where the locals come daily and everyone knows your name. It’s the kind of place that feels like part of the community. There’s also a great outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying your coffee when the weather warms up. A true hidden gem with lots of charm.

a delightful little cafe on SW corner of Sumach and Shuter streets, with minimalistic yet beautiful interior. espresso bar offers a variety of drinks (lattes, americanos, etc) - there are also breakfast pastries, cookies and sandwiches and some cold bottled drinks. wifi for customers, tall chairs/tables along windows facing north and east, and a couple of regular tables for those wishing to stay a bit longer to enjoy the cosy atmosphere. some super cute handmade merch, and little free treats for your pooch if you step in during your morning or afternoon walk - the place is definitely dog friendly. very popular with the local community, I highly recommend it!

One of my top coffee shops that make consistently good coffee and have a good selection of baked goods. They also sell flower arrangements!

Familiar, welcoming, friendly, and cozy atmosphere. Lovely iced vanilla latte.

This is my go-to cafe on the weekends for the last 4 years. Consistently, all the staff over the course of the years are so friendly (remembering orders of frequent customers, accommodating different customer needs etc.); it really feels like a third space, with a neighbourhood feel that I really appreciate. The friendly service is accompanied by great coffee. I often see the same customers every weekend as well, which further fosters this environment. Another observation - many of the staff have worked at the location for multiple years, which to me also indicates that this may be a good place to work - another reason to support a local business!

Absolutely love this cafe. The coffee and carrot cake are my favourite. Very friendly service, cafe itself is cozy with indoor and outdoor seating.
