They're at Their There. And by they're, I mean everyone - friends, couples, families, etc. This coffee shop is small, mighty, and extremely busy.
If you, like me, are planning to get some work done on a laptop, think again as it's strictly no laptop, no tablet with a recommended 1-hour seating time to accommodate the crowd. That said, Their There is still a great place to crack open a book, catch up with a friend, or grab a quick meal. The menu for both drinks and food looks absolutely scrumptious - with offerings like a Chocolate Miso Latte ($5.75) and White Rabbit Mochi Donut ($4.25), both of which I ordered, and Baby Kale & Crispy Brussels Sprout ($10) and Sausage & Egg Sandwich ($13), which I'd like to order next time.
It's not everyday that you hear chocolate, miso, and latte uttered within the same breath, but these elements - all extraordinary on their own - only work to enhance the depth of flavour within this staple drink. I would say the Latte here is richer and more savoury, yet not overly sweet due to the addition of miso.
By the same token, the Asian fusion theme was carried over to their Donut. It was certainly nostalgic to see one of my favourite candies growing up be the highlight of a classic Western snack. Not only that, the mochi interior made for a delightful chew and gave the donut yet another twist. It was surprisingly not as sweet as I expected either, and I found myself picking at the bits of White Rabbit flakes that fell onto my plate.
Menu items aside, Their There also has a section for snacks, books, and home and lifestyle items. The lineup strategically wraps around this section, so that you cannot help but to browse while waiting in line.
As far as seating goes, there are some window seats in the store area, as well as a raised platform for table seating. Depending on the time of day and your party size, there may be a wait, but the 1-hour limit for diners should reduce that.
All in all, Their There is great if you're looking for a quick bite and want to try something more unique. However, if you're seeking a place to study or work, you may be better off seeking another coffee shop.
