They have great Affogatos which not many coffee houses or ice cream places do in the area. Service isn't very friendly though for some reason. Not much indoor seating but they make up for with great outdoor seating in summer months.

This is my hubby and I's new favourite spot. Today was our first time stopping by and we really enjoyed our maple cinnamon latte 😊 The almond croissant was large, buttery, flaky and filled with a subtle sweet nutty flavour. This cafe has a beautiful intimate patio with flowers and comfortable seating. Staff were awesome 😊 A great menu with lots of options, can't wait to try your ice cream 🤗 We will be back every week 😃

I came to try this cafe out, and I was a little bit disappointed.. I ordered a mocha latte (which was rather expensive compared to other local options) and the espresso/coffee tasted under extracted as well as incredibly weak (likely because they used a super automatic espresso machine) but the atmosphere whilst it is really small, is pretty cozy and I did like it. More detail: I can't speak much for *everything* as I only tried a Mocha, but I was extremely disappointed with it.. I walked inside, saw they had a regular commercial grade semi automatic espresso machine, and decided to order a mocha (their prices aren't on the menu itself), but I noticed instead of using the semi auto machine, they used a super automatic espresso machine that automatically grinds the coffee, and steams the milk for you (most of the time not too well) without any required labour from a barista. I should've just changed my mind and asked for a refund right there, because I had a feeling it wasn't going to taste too good and I was right... I've been to plenty of cafes in and out of Canada, and this is one of the fewer cafes that have disappointed me. The cost of my Mocha was $2-3 more than other cafes around the same block, even though there was almost no labour that went into creating the drink (given that the super automatic did everything itself), so I was a bit surprised by the price. Sadly, because of my disappointment with the Mocha, I likely won't be back to try other items to give more reviews. Tips for the business: Please have your prices upfront on the menu itself. I felt a little trapped when I ordered, got my drink and then was given the price and saw it was $2-3 more than cafes on the same street as you. If I had known the price and process of making the drink beforehand, I genuinely would not have ordered from here. And if you're going to use a super automatic espresso machine, (which usually cannot grind the coffee beans fine enough to extract a proper espresso shot) despite having a semi auto machine next to it, unless you're using premium quality coffee beans, the price shouldn't be so high especially considering little to no labour goes into using a super auto, and people like me usually tip on top of that.
