The menu is more like guidelines than actual inventory -- once they are out of something, you are out of luck, but the fact they are out will not be noted on the signage. You will find out when you try to order. It's also loud an usually crowded. If you have social anxiety, this is not the place for you. If you have any other dietary restriction besides gluten-free, and you are part of a group insisting on coming here, have backup food available.

I love the atmosphere of this coffee shop. The coffee and pastries are delicious. Service is also very good. A nice place to pass the time on a cold autumn day.

I love it the roast beef sandwich and matcha latte so delicious

Good coffee, good simple food, unique and tasty baked goods. Plenty of room to sit at a table and not be able to brush elbows with tables around you. Lived that I could bring in my little one and his stroller and not bump into people or tables or be in anyone's way.

We had lunch on a Friday afternoon. Sandwiches were ok. Giant homemade cookies were outstanding! Skip the meal and eat dessert! 😀

Call down to this place and you don't even get to say one word before they put you on hold. 5 minutes later they hang up on you and when you call back they put you on hold again without any ability to speak. The worst customer service I have seen in a long time almost rude. I will never go there again

I will never go back to this coffee shop. I was told if I did not like it to leave.

Here's the scoop: I ordered a sandwich (first one on the menu.) I forgot to ask if they could leave off the potato chips and substitute a few carrots or some kind of greens.
(I can not digest any kind of chips etc, I had just eaten there a few days earlier. I
ask the waitress if she could substitute something for the chips? She didn't say anything in response but later came back with 4 small baby carrots. I was happy with that. However when I got my bill she has charged me for the 4 carrots. She did not disclose to me she would charge for a substitute.
The second time I went back I ask the "girl" who was making sandwich's (because my waitress was busy and they had a line) could she substitute the chips for a few carrots. She looked at me like I was nuts, I repeated the request. She said :NO"
I repeated the request again and this time I requested, can you substitute anything for the chips? NO! she replied. I said, I can not digest the chips and why don't you have something you can substitute for a .10 cent bag of chips? She said, it will cost you. I said no and as I am walking through the restaurant to my table this man who works at the coffee shop screamed at me as he was walking towards me from the rear, "if you don't like it , leave." I requested my refund. He said I will not refund the coke because opened it. I said I did not expect this kind of service an attitude or I would never have came here. I have not drank from the coke. He threatened calling the police on me because I wanted my full refund. I took sandwich money and
left. I wonder who the owner is and how they think they can run a coffee shop and
treat people in this manner? Also the person who screamed at me in a public place should be fired. This is not the first time I have seen ugliness in this coffee shop.
I thought I would give them another chance to redeem themselves. Watch the waitress/waiters who fix your drinks and handle your drinks without gloves and
run the register and count money without washing their hands. It is a disgusting
place to eat. Better places in town. Try the TASTE OF PARIS across from the
Post Office. I reported the other happening to the owner but this time she deserves what she gets. NO RETURN CUSTOMER. That is disaster in Hamilton.

Thanks for reading and every word of this is true.

The staff is nice but food is too hippie for my tastes. Lots of random weird things on sandwiches that tbh should not be there. Pastries are unexciting and the coffee is average for a café type place.

My favorite place to stop in the morning for some quiche or a croissant with some great coffee to wash it down. Great service. The sandwiches are pretty darn good too if I do say so myself.

From sandwiches to dessert, ham and cheese croissants and custom coffee bar with all the flavors.......everything is just delicious. All made on site and ready for your enjoyment.
