Now open again with good full-day hours! A go-to spot for me for a weekly treat - their flat white is fragrant, smooth, and made with lots of care! Not an elaborate menu, just your standard Euro-style coffee offerings - no brewed coffee here!
They've got teas and a few seasonal latte flavours, and in the past had a wide selection of snacks and treats from other local artisans - currently not in stock but I'm hoping will return in the future!
As I've been brewing more coffee at home, I've also invested in a few of their blends - the flavour notes are accurate and actually distinguishable! I enjoy the small-scale offering prepared with care that allows me to support the local business, at the same time without having to fork out more than I can afford.
The coffee shop is a quiet, out-of-the-way place with a simple few tables out on their patio. Relaxing music in the background, it's a quiet place to work while enjoying the sunshine or greenery. Isabella Street is off Yonge Street, so it's a convenient location but tucked away from the city noise. You'll still see cars and lots of foot traffic, so the people-watching can definitely continue!
The slower pace of the shop is great for those looking to get some work done or have a quiet conversation without having to tell over the background music, or city noise, or the coffee equipment going non-stop in the store...which is a common problem for a number of nearby alternatives. Place is kept nice and clean, décor is simple and bright, overall non-invasive and relaxing. I didn't think much of it at first, but I keep coming back!
