It is a small space, but full of personality and charm. We ordered a Matcha Latte ($7), Japanese Latte ($7), and Matcha & Black Sesame Moffin ($1.50/each). I personally enjoy my matcha unsweetened so I loved that this one was served without sweeteners, and the matcha is lighter bodied with earthy flavours. The Japanese latte is made with coffee beans from Japan, and I'm not a coffee drinker usually so I can't comment much other than the fact it tasted mellow but had depth. The mochi muffins were not too sweet and deliciously chewy! I'd love to come back to try their hojicha latte!

When I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, they were out of matcha but I was able to try the Ginger Honey Yuzu Soda (a seasonal item).

Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 5/5…read moreGood/drink: 3/5 I was so excited to try this spot since I had heard such good things about it (and their cardamom buns!). I came with my friend on a weekday and managed to snag the last cardamom buns. They don't serve matcha anymore and I'm not a big coffee drinker so I ordered the ginger honey yuzu soda instead. My friend got a cookie and an iced mocha. The staff were super nice so no complaints there! As for ambiance, they had a few seats outside and what looked like a huge space under the stairs for seating but they had blocked that area off as they're turning it into a retail section - seems a bit strange for me as when the summer is over people won't want to sit outside anymore so it will have to be a to-go model. The cookie was good, but I was really disappointed in the cardamom bun. It was $7 and barely had any flavour - it seems like it's made with whole wheat flour and didn't have enough cardamom or sugar in my opinion so I only ended up eating half. The yuzu drink also wasn't good. The ginger pieces got stuck in my straw immediately and the whole drink just tasted like ginger and soda water, there was no other flavour or sweetness in it. My friend also didn't really enjoy her drink. Overall this spot was a big disappointment given how many amazing cafes we have

Parking can be a bit tricky -- if you're lucky, you might find street parking right out front. With limited space inside, expect a line outside if there are more than a few people ahead of you. We ordered the Earl Grey Matcha, Earl Grey Flat White, and a Pastéis de Nata. The drinks took about five minutes to prepare, and the staff worked efficiently. Their menu seems to rotate seasonally, so you might find limited-time or specialty flavors depending on when you visit. As for the drinks, they were just okay in my opinion. The flat white was quite strong, and while it included Earl Grey syrup, the flavor didn't come through as clearly as expected. The Pastéis de Nata was decent -- not too sweet, but a bit dense. Overall, prices are reasonable for what you get. Worth a visit if you're curious about their seasonal offerings.

The barista was very friendly and eager to talk about the menu. She checked to make sure my drink was sweet enough when she gave it to me and asked how everything was as I was leaving. Asparagus & asiago quiche: The quiche itself was okay - I liked the flavour but it kind of had the reheated texture - but they put some fresh arugula and black pepper on top which was very nice. Mocha cookie: Top tier cookie. Nice coffee flavour, not too sweet, perfectly crispy but not crunchy. Lychee latte: Just steamed milk and lychee flavour, no espresso. I asked for half sweet, and there was just enough lychee flavour to get the essence of lychee without making it a very sweet drink. Although I didn't try the coffee, this does seem like a good place for coffee nerds. They have different varieties of brewed coffee you can try in store and beans for sale.

Espresso yourself!…read more If you haven't tried this coffee shop yet, you're missing out. Their roots trace back to Japan, and their commitment to high-quality Arabica beans really shines through. The coffee has an incredibly smooth, soft, almost umami-like flavor that's unlike the bold, bitter taste many people are used to. I'll admit, I usually prefer a stronger, coffee-forward roast, so this was a nice change of pace and a coffee bean I've never experienced before. The flavor was refined, balanced, and surprisingly good. I originally wanted a cold brew, but since they didn't have one, I opted for an Americano (I know, I know... why order an Americano?). To my surprise, it wasn't watered down at all. It was smooth, flavorful, and absolutely delicious from the first sip to the last. If you're looking for an intense caffeine kick, add an extra espresso shot or two--problem solved. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy something a little different. This place is proof that great coffee doesn't have to be loud to make an impression.

I do appreciate how there is the option to appease the truly obsessive coffee fanatics with a 'self brew' option ($1 CAD off!) So you can tweak your own brew to your heart's content! I did not explore this option on my first visit, and I went with the ethiopian bean pour over, and it came out light and delicious! The space is a bit tiny. There is limited seating, but the space is also filled with all sorts of coffee related knick knacks. I greatly appreciate how the small batch whole bean roasting dates are printed on the bags so you know how fresh they are. I took home a 100 gram bag of ultra small batch coffee from Panama, and it was worth it!
