Review from Darren N.

When I lived in this area 5 years ago, this was the place I went all the time to get some writing done. I used to edit a magazine and write freelance and there was something about this particular location that just fit the bill. Now that I live in the area again, I'm here all the time. Sometimes reading, sometimes working, always enjoying.
What is it that makes this place so great? I'll tell you.
1. Friendly, funny staff.
2. Dog treats for dogs who make a regular appearance outside.
3. Really great Nanaimo bars that are like $2.50.
4. Great lattes with lots of shots.
5. Customer loyalty card, buy 9 whatevers, get the next one free. Essentially, lattes are 10% cheaper than posted.
6. Great outdoor seating - if you like the shade when reading on a hot sunny day, which I do.
7. I appreciate that tipping is an option here, but not required in the passive-aggressive style of most places where a credit card payment immediately gives you the three options of 10% or 15% or Other. You feel like a total ass when presented with this option and you wonder why you should pay 10 or 15% more when the only thing you're getting is a cup of black coffee to go. Tip if you want, or don't, or give a big tip only occasionally. That's how it should be.
Anyway, I love this place. In my mind, it gets everything right.Listed in: Good places to get work done

Friendly staff and strong coffee makes this a nice place to catch up with a friend over a cuppa or spend a quiet morning with the paper.
In warmer weather, they have a nice little side-street patio area that is great for al fresco sipping. They have a selection of baking to accompany your roast.
All their coffee is certified organic and fair trade, so you can feel good about drinking their brew. And they're based on the North Shore and it always feels good to support local business over mega-American chains.
