REALLY?! $7 for a Dulce de Lèche Cheesecake?! Are you kidding me this better be goo... *fork enter mouth, moment of silence, entering a world of ecstasy*
That is all!
If you like tuna like I like tuna STOP everything and run *scratch that* SPRINT to Grinder for their incredibly genius tuna sandwich.
Soggy or stale bread is in my opinion a sandwich cardinal sin!
So I was reluctant to try this tuna sandwich…More »
If this was just about my amazing Sundae this place would have gotten 5 stars but sadly bad service has reared its ugly head.
Lets see:

Hands down best latte in the city and the little chocolates they give you on the side are just the thing on a cold and dreary day. It's to bad this place is always packed... I can never find a seat :-(

Today I had quite possibly the best Latte I have ever had. The foam was rich and flavourful, the base was strong but tasty and at about $3.
