You can tell everything is made in-house, which is impressive given their wide range of offerings:…read morequiches, sandwiches, cookies, muffins; they have it all. The ingredients are high quality, and the flavours are thoughtfully developed. Pink lemonades are often too sweet, but this one was perfectly balanced. The lemon square was nicely tart, the quiche had generous chunks of feta, and the muffin had that rich, buttery flavour you only get from homemade baked goods. Service was bubbly and helpful, and the interior was quaint. There's just enough seating outside, with a setup that lets you choose between sun or shade. Special mention for offering the London Fog iced; my first time trying it, and it is now my new go-to. Prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the quality. Easily the best coffee shop I've tried in London so far.

Their coffee is either exceptional or "alright" but the best reason to go here is their actual food and pastries. I feel like it is RARE to find a coffee shop that offers pastries that ALL taste amazing, and this place seems to nail it.

During peak times, it may be difficult to find a seat but they do open up fairly quickly. The service here is amazing, they're super attentive and nice which is a big plus. In terms of their food, their cruffins are TO DIE FOR - I absolutely love them to death. They rotate their flavours and every single one I've had has been phenomenal. Admittedly, difficult to eat which the sugar coating on the croissant mixed with the custard inside but still so so good that it's worth the mess. I do wish it was served warmed which would take it to the next level! The sandwiches are surprisingly good as well. My favourite is the ham and Swiss. It is very filling and I love how much they pack into the sandwich (especially how much Dijon they put in it hehe). In terms of the coffee, it was decent. I was expecting more bold flavours to come out and taste the richness but unfortunately I could not. Maybe I had too high of expectations for the coffee after tasting the pastries and food but regardless, it was still decent coffee. Overall though, this place is an amazing place to sit down, eat, read, study, and catch up with friends! I definitely will be coming back and trying more of their items :)

It seemed as though the daily specials are available until they sell out; perhaps a regular diner could confirm this. They looked good, but we were late, so we settled for pickings from the standard menu. Options include soups, salads ($4.65-$10), sandwiches and burgers ($9.50-$13), lunch bowls ($11-12.50) and all-day breakfast (actually just breakfast and lunch, so it's a pretty short day!). The beverage selection is extensive, including coffee, tea, smoothies, sodas that I haven't seen elsewhere in London, iced coffee, juices and more. All of the coffee and tea selections were under $5. There is a self-serve water station which is a nice touch; probably easier on staff, too. I appreciated their attempts to avoid single-use utensils and dinnerware. The only disposable waste were the paper napkins and the receipt. Food came out quickly and it really hit the spot. Good-sized portions were tasty and as described. Come out and support a business that supports the community!

It's in the Old East Village, past Adelaide St, and they're really revitalizing this area and I think it's wonderful, this establishment is located in an old warehouse, which was turned into Fire Roasted and the Old East Grocer. I came this afternoon for a Yelp event and I brought my mom. We parked in the back, since there wasn't any parking on the road, which was fine, you just have to pay to park. We walked into the place and Fire Roasted is on the left and the grocers is straight ahead. Smaller café, but there were plenty of tables and chairs available for our small event! I had ordered two small coffees for my mother and myself and we tried the bagel bombs they had, jalapeno, and garlic & bacon, both of which were delicious. I believe all the food items are outsourced, but they are delicious nonetheless. The actual Roasting plant is in the back of the building, I took a walk down to see what it looked like, and it was really interesting to see how they do it. This is such a unique building, and how they've renovated it to help revitalize the whole east end is amazing, bringing in the local business to help this area thrive again. I'll definitely be sure to come back, the ambience is wonderful, and the coffee is delicious.

She actually made this frightening experience much worse with her terrible attitude. The bottle nearly blew up in my daughters face and could have been very serious if not deadly. I acknowledge it was left out and not in fridge for 2 days as label didn't say "must be refrigerated"... but does that mean it should explode like a Molotov cocktail? I will never shop here again and many people I have shared this story with have agreed.

They contacted me a day after to explain the situation, and have even taken steps to remove the Big Veg off the menu based on my suggestions/comments. The owners are two very heartful and dedicated women. It's wonderful to see such passion and care! ***END UPDATE Came here today for lunch with a friend! I ordered the Big Veg (a bunch of vegetables wrapped in collard greens) with their nutty bacon, and a side of sipping broth. My friend got their Seed to Sausage on beet bread, also with a side of sipping broth. The service there is very friendly, and it's a very hip and cool place! I love the concept, and it gives off a great vibe. However, my first experience was less than ideal... The Big Veg cost me $9, and with the sipping broth ($3), the total should have been $12. For some reason, they charged me $15, and so I asked for them to correct it. The correction took a while, but eventually they gave me back in cash. However, the cashier mistakenly gave me less than the amount owed, and overall, the entire refund process was quite slow. That being said, they were very apologetic and kind through it all, so the service was pretty good! My Big Veg fell short of expectations. First off, I must note that it is a take-out place. Although they had warned me beforehand to eat my wrap as a gyro (as the collard green is fragile and cannot sustain the content's weight), by the time I had arrived at my sit-down destination, the paper bag was soaked through. The sauce and dressing had leaked everywhere! It was a very messy eat, and despite being very careful, the sauce just kept dripping down my arms and in front of me. I would highly suggest that they reinforce the packaging for stronger protection (i.e., a double wrap). The wrap itself also lacked flavour, though that may have been in part due to my decision to get the nutty bacon (which was essentially just hemp, fried walnuts, with some smokey flavour). Maybe try the cheese or the actual bacon for more taste. The bone broth, though interesting, could have used more depth and flavour. Given my experiences, I would have given two stars - however, I had a bite of my friend's Seed to Sausage sandwich and it was quite tasty! I think it really depends on what menu item you ordered. Hers had the delicious smokey taste of the sausage, and was very clean and aesthetic!
