At our visit, we ordered Arabian coffee, a freshly squeezed orange juice, a cheese and spinach patty, and a classic croissant. The Arabian coffee was the highlight of the experience—a beautifully brewed cup with just the right balance of strength and warmth. Its aroma was wonderfully authentic, capturing the essence of traditional Arabian coffee, which paired perfectly with the crisp fall air. The orange juice was equally impressive. Made from fresh oranges, its vibrant, natural sweetness felt like a rare treat, especially when so many places lean toward pre-packaged options. This simple freshness added a delightful, refreshing note to the morning. While the cheese and spinach patty and the croissant were well-prepared, they didn’t stand out from similar items offered at other cafes. They provided a satisfactory accompaniment to the drinks but lacked any unique qualities worth mentioning. Set in the Westdale area, this cafe has a special charm, drawing a crowd that appreciates its cultural flair and the comfortable ambiance it offers. It’s a great spot to sit, sip your coffee, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I visited during the fall season, and the view was truly breathtaking; the vibrant colors of the autumn leaves added a warm, inviting backdrop that made the experience even more enjoyable. However, the service felt a bit detached, almost transactional. It seemed like the staff’s approach was more “here’s your coffee, and my job is done,” which lacked the personal touch that could have enhanced the experience. Overall, if you’re in the area, this cafe is a charming spot to unwind and take in the beauty of Westdale. It’s a relaxed, inviting space where you can enjoy a quality cup of coffee amidst the outdoor scenery.

Cute atmosphere, however the matcha latte was just awful. The salad wasn’t the best either and the staff didn’t seem to care much. Won’t return here again unfortunately.

One of my favourite coffee shops :) I love to study here, and it’s a great environment for students who don’t like too much noise but also not complete silence. Usually after 4 pm is when I would say it becomes a little less busy, so that’s the best time. The lighting and seating are really nice, I especially love the seats by the window because of the view and the outlets. The coffee and pastries are also great, there’s something for everyone, and it’s always ready super quick. I usually get the flat white, or if I want something sweet the Mikelo is really good. The workers are really nice as well, and overall it’s a chill environment for studying, talking with friends, or just getting a coffee by yourself!
