There are so many tea varieties available and always different brews on tap.  Upstairs is a very comfortable place to “work from home” lots of plugs and so many big old windows it’s very bright and spacious.  Such a great conversion of an old house into something so modern and classy.  The cookies are so fantastic you might wish you’d bought two ; Staff is generally great and don’t seem overwhelmed despite the steady flow of traffic. Even if there’s a line up it moves quite quickly.  Big plus.. The lids on the take out cups almost never leak.  Kids love the steamed apple juice

This is a cute little cafe right by Port Dalhousie . We had Coffee Canadien ,Carrot Cake and Butter Tart. The drink was made with care and tasted good Carrot Cake was soft and but the topping was too sweet seemed frozen food product. Butter Tart tasted fine. The ambience is great and it has upstairs patio and washroom . Thr girl who took our order was friendly. The also have a great collection of whole beans which they roast themselves . There is additional seating at the back and few chairs outside. The view is nothing special as it not facing East on Lock St but the adjacent st which has nothing .The ground level patio has pretty much no view at all. The stuff seems overpriced for being frozen out of box .The medium drunk alone costed little over $6 and dessert $5 frozen for the portion which made the total over $20 . They were also out of most of the baked goods i guess the ones they bake themseleves we wanted so we chose the ones left . Would like to try there coffee beans in future and probably grab a drink but not baked goods.

Their egg nog is different from those I had in Vietnam. Hot chocolate yummy but the cafe latte was too light without the coffee taste

A nice place and the service is very polite and helpful. I had a chai tea and it was delicious, it is Higgins & Burke tea so its awesome. The cafe is very small and has only a few small bistro-style tables but there is an upstairs and it has more seating. Overall it felt cold and stark and the space echoes pretty bad so you can hear anyone's conversation and they didn't have music playing upstairs.

It was clean and nicely done inside. Baristas were friendly.  Seating outside and inside. It is not wheelchair accessible. You have to walk up some steep stairs to get up to the seating area and washroomsThe coffee is good, they have dessert, I tried the carrot cake, you get a small piece for $4.70. Also it's  not baked in store just the frozen  boxed stuff. Overall experience was ok, no music playing inside for back ground noise we sat inside up stairs, it was echoing a bit. I think next time I'd like to sit outside on the upstairs patio instead weather permitting.

Cosy atmosphere, clean facilities. A lot of great options for treats and drinks. My latte was very well made and paired nicely with their chocolate chip cookie. Seating areas were tidy! Love that it has two floors - plenty of seating! I can’t wait to come back in the warmer months to enjoy the patio and view! Thank you for a great experience!

Established coffee roaster and cafe that is nicely housed in Port Dalhousie in this location.  Coffee, baked goods and coffee merch all available.

When it's good, it's fantastic! Unfortunately there seems to be some inconsistencies across different baristas. Occasionally I end up with two inches of foam in a large latte, which ends up equating to the small size after the foam dissipates see photo attached-- this was with me not even taking a sip of the drink.  The flavor of the coffee and the chai tea latte also seems to change watered down, strong, etc. I think it's worth checking out if your in the area, but all things considered, the prices should equate to more quality and consistency.

This is one of the best cafes in all of GTA. Not only do they have great coffee taste, but also the vintage decor adds a lot to the whole experience. The patio and balcony are extremely nice to sit at. I drove almost an hour to visit this branch.

Super cute little coffee shop - has excellent. Very friendly staff. The pastries are very good too, even the vegan options! I loved the upstairs patio and it's in close proximity to some shops and the merry go round / lake.
