  4. Great cakes, coffee and snacks. I do not recommend the gelato, however.

  I've been coming to this place occasionally for many years. The beverages are fantastic and the desserts are decadent. It has a really relaxed by but, with bookshelves and games and I once found a sheaf of somebody's old letters in a drawer in a coffee table which made for an interesting afternoon of reading. Definitely recommend this place.

  1. Good to come with friends or alone. Has plug ins.

  6. One thing I love is the live (swing? jazz?) band that plays in the evenings sometimes, around 7PM. Makes the atmosphere great if you're alone, but hard to carry conversations in (so don't plan a business meeting there at that time).

  3. Non-gendered washrooms, which is a great move! More places should do this

  **put a wheelchair ramp in and you deserve a 5 star review**

  2. Bit noisy in the summer when the patio is open and the street noise comes in.

  One of the best places to hang out if you like cafes. Has a step up so not easily accessible by wheelchair.

  Good quality espresso beans. Not too oily. They construct an excellent latte. Snacks looked excecellent. The place was packed on a Sunday evening. It's a louder coffee shop so if you're coming here to study and are easily distracted it's probably not the best place. Lively and trendy crowd here

  Cozy cafe with delicious desserts. The Caramel Pecan Cheesecake is to die for. Warm inviting atmosphere with ample seating. This is like a good place to take someone on a first date when you wanna impress

  The ambiance was beautiful. The place is beautiful. My drink (mocha) was very good and the apple cider was the star of our date. My Criticism is that I ordered a lava cake. They microwaved it and gave it to me and there was no liquid center. It was dry. I had high expectations as I watched a baking show and this establishment appeared on the show as a “must-go”. Next time, if I go, I’ll try something else and give an opportunity for redemption.
