Found a cute and cozy cafe to finish my assignments on last day of my course. The Eary Grey special was delicious too. Will definitely be back!

Stop by for a quick matcha latte before my Pilates class. Definitely ask for their seasonal specials (?) cuz the menu doesn’t cover all of them. The vibe is so cozy, and the patio outside is lovely. Would definitely stay for food next time.

Love this coffee shop and the boutique next door! It's a cute, cozy place. The vanilla latte was excellent. Did not eat but inquired about gluten free bread (always on the lookout, because my kid is a celiac) Was verbally told by the barista they have gluten free bread, but it's not listed on the menu. If you really serve GF bread, please update your menu. :) I will definitely be back for another latte.

What a perfect little hometown coffee spot! The peppermint mocha was delicious and definitely made with love. The ham and cheese croissant was crispy, moist, and had excellent portions and balance. The lemon puff was perfectly textured and not too sweet, just right for a sweet little treat. Will definitely be back!

My new favorite coffee shop! Nice space to sit down, big windows to look out of, friendly staff, tasty pastries, and such reasonable prices for coffee! And supporting a local business. My only comment is they charge too much for alternative milk. Seems discriminatory against people who are lactose intolerant. Even Starbucks doesn’t do that.

One of the few places that has lavender flavouring!! It’s so hard to find a coffee shop that has lavender. I was convinced I just had to buy a bottle and take it everywhere Super cute little cafe with a little shop (Art Garden) attached. Love the book exchange and lots of natural light! Just one of those feel-good places that you can tell takes a little extra care. I ordered a lemon puff, quiche muffin, and lavender vanilla oat milk latte. Holy All-Things-That-Are-Good! That lemon puff was to die for!! I’m a big pasty fan and my oh my, they nailed it with that thing. Strong lemon flavour without being sour, super airy and puffy pastry. And only 1.50. It disappeared too quickly Next time I’m getting 5 haha. At least! Quiche (ham, spinach, egg with looks like Colby Jack cheese, tomato, and avocado on top) is super dense, tasty, and filling! (It’s called a muffin just because they cook it in a muffin tin.) It comes with an optional side of yummy (no spice) salsa. Latte is just about perfect! The flavouring doesn’t cover up the taste of the drink but adds some sweetness that isn’t too overpowering. Only thing is I wish I could taste the lavender more. But I don’t want more sweetness so this might be a “cake and eating it too” kind of situation lol.

What a treasure! This coffee shop does all the things. Great customer service, wonderful food and beverages and a beautiful atmosphere. It’s also adjacent to a wonderful garden shop full of great gifts. I tried the special of the day which was a crab Louie sandwich with a wonderful salad full of yummy things. And their oat milk latte was perfect. Highly recommend!
