    Really great coffee and delicious cookies. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is casual and they play good music. What more do you need from your neighborhood coffee joint?

    A novel local coffee shop that is also a fusion with a craft beer & bar.  This shop offers a selection of craft beers, many liquors (including an impressive assortment of whiskies), coffee/tea & hand-crafted hot beverages, plus a small bakery/deli. This is a great venue for that mixed group of peeps who want coffee/beer/cocktails all at once. There's something for everyone.... Now if only they would have a small hot food kitchen plus faster WiFi, they'll totally land that fifth star!

    Solid espresso and great ambiance on Wellington. I just stopped in for a quick espresso while I was in the neighborhood, but I wish I had stayed longer because I loved the ambiance of the cafe - great for catching up with friends or getting some work done. I loved the fact that they highlight smaller roasters from the region. My espresso from Toronto was a little smoky and very complex, and I liked the presentation with sparkling water on a board. The service was very friendly and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

    Location is good. Decor is fine.  Staff are decent.

    One thing I do like is the community seating. They have a smallish but good food selection. My husband loves this Ottawa chain so we come in whenever we are in the area.

    One thing we've never taken advantage of is the alcoholic beverages of which they have a small but decent selection. When I reread this review I feel very repetitive but can't think of a better way to say that at this moment. Lol.

    It's a good neighbourhood meeting spot.

    Would I recommend?  Sure.
    Would I return? Yes.

    Amazing little coffee spot. These people take coffee seriously, but they also tend to whiskey/scotch, wine and tea drinkers. The coffee is delicious! Beans come from unique Canadia roasters. Small but quality food collection and the sugary treats are amazing and baked in house. Had a mixed berry muffin. Tasty!! Very reasonably priced.
