Great cafe in the neighborhood! Lots of snack and drink options to choose from. They even have frozen whole pies available for purchase! There’s a full bar with a cocktail and beer/wine menu as well as a Starbucks coffee station that obviously serves coffee as well as smoothies. They have some basic cafe foods available like sandwiches and some various appetizers. Great sitting area outside with an assortment of tables and couches. There are outlets available so it’s a great spot to sit and work. The outdoor area is partially covered and provides some shade from the sun.

I don’t know who are these non residents that complains about the service. The old lady at the coffee bar is always nice and so are everyone else. Only thing that I don’t like about the cafe are all these non residents that sit around all day, taking up booth space, and orders nothing. They need to make this place for residents only then more residents will start using it

I just don’t give 5 stars because some foods have no label, I can not tell what is is. The juices for example, how I suppose to know? Other than that everything is very good. Ambient is perfect, calm and clean. Staff is very friendly.

Updated review: Options are better now and the self checkout works now! Would love some more plant based options but otherwise things are looking great now, thank you for updates.
