I usually get a flat white and you can let them know if you will be drinking in store so they do not give you a to go cup.

I really enjoy the vibes here but do keep in mind the store is slightly below ground level and there are stairs going down so not wheelchair accessible.

I stumbled upon Graination as I was walking along Spadina this week. I saw the words "specialty…read morecoffee" and I knew I had to pay a visit inside. Turns out they are in their soft opening currently where they opened about a week or two ago. Despite the coffee shop in the front of the store, they also have a photo lab at the back of the space. I saw lots of film being sold as well as overheard that they have processing services as well. I primarily came to try their coffee so I can't comment much on the photo lab services. Coffee wise the menu is basic and simple. A bit on the pricer side compared to other coffee shops in the city. They use Hatch coffee beans. I ordered a flat white to consume there. The staff were friendly and attentive and my drink was made at a reasonable time. The flat white was great. As I sipped on my drink, I admired the photography on display. They also have photography books to browse through as well! Overall, great new addition to the Chinatown area. Love the coffee and photo lab concept. Definitely would return to spend time in the space for a coffee!

Came here to get a passport photo. I also came here 10 yrs ago, so I recently came back again for…read moremy passport renewal. Service was just as great as the first time I came here. There was no wait and the service was quick, and impeccable. I felt the photos were of good quality, it was a great value to get a passport photo with a fast turn around, I was in and out in less than 15min. They take cash that includes tax, so come prepared. They also have a mirror for you to check your appearance before taking the photo and the staff was able to gently and kindly remind me to move my hair, straighten up, etc to ensure the photo was taken to meet standards. The shop is located in the second floor so look for the sign, walk up a flight of stairs and you'll see the office shortly after getting up to the landing.

They are professional and love their work and it really shows. There's a mirror with combs and spraybottle in case you want to do some last min touch ups. They give directions for hair, pose, as well as some post shoot touchups. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and the photos always turn out really nice. I've had a few people see my passport and ask where I've gotten the photo done. Their prices are great too. My dad got lazy once and went somewhere else closer and he paid more for 1 copy than we usually do for 2. We haven't gone anywhere else ever since. This time I ended up getting two digital photos, but you have the choice of digital or 2 hard copy, and you can always come back later if you decide you also want the hard copy. Keep in mind it's cash only. They also do photo for babies. My go to spot for photos, highly recommend.

Ultimately, my biggest complaint was that I had I to come back to the store multiple times because the manager lied to me and then refused to acknowledge the problem.

So, I was trying to decide between ordering my photography gear from Downtown Camera or Aden…read moreCamera. Let's just say I won't be giving Aden a single dollar. Didn't even walk into the store, and already got major bad vibes. Called to ask about a backordered item, and the guy on the phone was super rude--like, aggressively unhelpful, with this weird arrogant tone. Who talks to customers like that? I just wanted info, not a side of attitude with my question. As someone who loves photography, I'd way rather support places where the staff actually wants to help you, you know? Steer clear of these guys. Seriously, Aden's management needs to rethink their hiring--this kind of vibe is why people bounce. Check the reviews; I'm definitely not the only one who's had this experience. On the flip side, Downtown Camera was awesome. Texted them, got quick replies, they added me to a waitlist without any hassle, and answered all my questions. Night-and-day difference.
