I found my new favourite coffee shop! Cannot praise the staff enough- they have renewed my faith in humanity and are genuinely great people. I unknowingly dropped my wallet outside this establishment on a Friday evening; figured it for sure was long gone. I received a Facebook message from the owner of the coffee shop on Monday morning, saying one of their employees found my wallet and brought it in, and they have kept it safe for me. They absolutely didn’t have to go through this trouble, but I appreciate it. I nearly cried when I opened my wallet to find that everything was exactly as it was when I lost it. This is a true attest to their characters and I will be sure to tell everyone I know they need to support this local business. I will happily spend my money at this coffee shop supporting such amazing, kindhearted people… and do so while enjoying their delicious baked goods and beverages! Please support this local business- they truly deserve it! A quaint spot with a great vibe, delicious treats, and the most friendly staff and customers! I am forever grateful for the kindness and goodness of the staff here!

Dropped by after a recommendation from my server at The Canteen for good coffee. It's a cafe within a record and book store, and I loved the cool, retro vibes. My mocha took awhile to make, but I could tell it was because there was a lot of care put into it. It had a deep, cocoa taste with a bold punch of espresso. It was exactly what I needed.

Loved this little cafe, the aroma was fantastic. Different records, Handmade T-Shirts and books etc. around is just the perfect vibe to be in! Buddy who attend me was also great to talk with. Had a hot chocolate and the taste was so real, Prices were also not too bad. Definitely gonna visit again for a beer in hot day and hot drinks in cold. Ha.
