One of my favourite late night coffee places. Coffee or a glass of wine with their pastries = a great night!Upvote3Downvote

shamusJune 8, 2010Went there tonight for the first time based on friend's suggestion. Found it a tad odd. No coffee brewed. Drinks took a long time to make, but hearing that they have live music, I might go back to cheUpvoteDownvote
miwiDecember 29, 2012Lattes are great. Paid $6 for a double strong clover coffee that came in a carafe and looks like tea. No clue what I just paid for.UpvoteDownvote- Pretty much tied with Phil&Seb for best Americano. Awesome live music and dinner events, get tix in advance. :))Upvote2Downvote
It would seem with their renovation they have basically eliminated all but one power outlet! If you need to plug in, this might not work!UpvoteDownvote
Robin ElsterJuly 15, 2012Tim Hortons should check this place out, they could teach him how to make good coffee!UpvoteDownvote- Espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, it's all good. 49th Parallel beans on a Synesso, and a great vibe.Upvote2Downvote
Cameron RoutJanuary 15, 2010Make sure to try the chicken quesadilla here. Also, best mocha in town and ask Les for a board if you're down for some chess.Upvote2Downvote
Elizabeth PanFebruary 7, 2011Just got dinged 55 cents for a tiny splash of soymilk. Next time I'll be headed to Starbucks where it's free and they warm it up for you.UpvoteDownvote

Jerrid GrimmAugust 11, 2010Really good Latte but maybe don't order any food. Only 2 people working during morning rush so it takes a long time to get a bagel.UpvoteDownvote

Mike Pickle PantsOctober 13, 2012Don't have the espresso it is awful and extremely bitter. The lattes on the other hand are good.UpvoteDownvote
