Review from Melissa E.

This has turned into a favourite post-dog walking spot. There are a few tables outside which is great when the sun is out. Otherwise grab a seat at the window bar and watch people, dogs and even cats go by. Actually, we saw a rather amusing cat/dog confrontation today...lessons to all dogs, cats will cut you.
Anyway, the coffee is solid. Americanos a tad water-downed but decent. Baked goods and the vegan bars are yum and I had a really great, flavourful soup today.
All in all, a solid stop that will keep you well away from Starbucks.
Oh and yes, they take credit cards, interact and cash now. -

Very cozy and a great meeting place. A true coffee "house."
One of the first times that I didn't order coffee, so I can't actually speak for that here.
Parking is free in the hood-- if you can find it.
I don't appreciate that there is only one bathroom, as people always seem to be in the loo in coffee places.
The brownie seemed pretty good, if not generic.
A nice alternative to SB if you are looking for a place to hang out.Listed in: Anything but Starbucks....

I used to live by this coffee shop and went every morning for my soy latte!
Service is great, friendly (they know their regulars and their drink orders)
It's a nice change from the Starbucks chain and it is independently owned.
No wireless but a nice place to bring a book or catch up with a friend. -

First of all cash only, which is not cool.
Found banana breads & other baked goods to be good, but greasy.
Sandwiches- low effort.
Good coffee/tea selection, nice variety of drinks, but nothing special. I would not say quality. -

With a very nice corner location this cute place has a lot of seating and a nice selection of Tea and Coffee drinks.
I am a Coffee snob so I have to admit that I was not impressed with my beverage, or that they basically offer NOthing for my limited diet. I mean at least they could have a naked egg or some potato chips.
Would it be too much to shop across the street at the IGA ?
Must we be tortured by your glutinous mouth watering Cinamon Rolls and Cookies and Cake loaves? -jeez louise! This should be illegal!
I ordered my Soy Capp, drooled on the counter and went across the street for food I can eat. -

I used to live right across the street from this place, and time after time it never failed! I don't drink coffee (sorry) but the tea selection is great and they make great specialty drinks as well (i.e. hot chocolate, chai, matcha, etc.).
The food ain't bad either. They have good soups, sandwiches and breakfast things to munch on. Plus, it's easy on the wallet and if you can get a spot, a comfy place to study, read a book, or just people watch. -

Higher Grounds on Broadway is a very nice little independent café that is doing its part to keep the neighbourhood from the encroaching franchises. They serve the usual selection of hot and cold beverages alongside sweets and snacks to fill you up and keep you happy. The ambience here is really nice; it's warm and friendly without being imposing, there's funky art on the walls and there is definitely the kind of vibe that makes you feel welcome to stay a little while. Too bad it closes early!
