Do yourself a favour and get a pour-over. This is, by far, the best coffee in the area. Anything espresso-based here is also top notch. Plus, single-malt whiskies from around the globe. Done and done.
They make the best espressos in Waterloo/Kitchener , and not to forget that they play the best records here .. from Pink Floyd to Radiohead.
My top choice for coffee in town! Definitely recommend their Americano and their pour-over. Their loose leaf teas and desserts are both great too. Great atmosphere. Warm and welcoming staff. A+
Arumoy ShomeAugust 9, 2014Amazing atmosphere, the kind which inspires you to do something creative! Great coffee however a bit over priced for the quantity.
Best latte in the city, hands down! If you're on your way to Starbucks, forget it - head to DVLB! Great atmosphere, great people. Can't wait to try the great whisky selection.- Jeff NoFebruary 19, 2013Best espresso in the city. Unfortunately they made a decision recently to cover up all the power outlets, which makes it impractical to get much work done there.
Matt HabermehlNovember 28, 2012Don't be a faux high roller. Ask for prices before whiskey is poured. Sometimes Japanese 12 year single malts can be a bit expensive (although delicious).
Friendly staff, relaxing, amazing lattes, best place to study! 🐢- Cass MooreJuly 30, 2015Best coffee in town, amazing selection of scotch and excellent playlist! #neverdisappoints
Meaghan ConeybeareNovember 1, 2013Love how they offer both soy and almond milk for your milk alternative :-) great atmosphere as well!- Check out their whisky chart to discover your favourite profile. And nothing like a fabulous pourover coffee!
Though it takes a while to prepare, as a mid day snack, a scottish pastie is tastey ( doesn't actually rhyme)
LOVE DVLB. Great lattes made with great care and just how I like it. Muffins are well sized and tasty.
Great americanos and pour over. Try their beans too. Fantastic.
They play excellent music. And...they have a good old record player. (the coffee is great too)
They take reservations for the big table at the back! They say a day's notice is ideal.
Lindsay CoulterDecember 16, 2011The chai tea latte is the best I've had in the city...actually delicious
Best Christmas Blend coffee I've ever had. Pour over makes all the difference!
Ask Joel to make you a "pour-over" coffee if you're used to regular drip coffee.
In the south half of what used to be Papa Lou's. Look for the Jackalope logo on the window. Read more
