Amazing little cafe. Their coffee and food is always delicious. They even use frozen-coffee ice cubes in their iced coffee, so it doesn’t get diluted as the ice melts! My iced coffee is good to the last drop! The owners are also so kind and welcoming. They really get to know the members of their community and create a hub for people to gather. They have salsa classes and other events in their salon as well which again really creates that sense of community.
The perfect coffee place!! Vibrant ambience. Great location and staff. I tried their in-house brewed specialty cap. Options for snacks.
We live pretty close to this place and have been going there for many years. They always greet you with smile, serve you the best coffee, scones and treats every time! Today, we had our usual coffee and scones there in the evening. Long after that ... we came back from our walk when my son walked in asking for a glass of water. The gentleman greeted him with smile... gave him a glass water and ice with same level of hospitality and grace. Proud that such a business exists in our neighborhood.
Beautiful, quiet and calm coffee ☕️ shop with tasteful Colombian, Guatemalan coffee ☕️.
A friend recommended the place. The views surrounding the place were gorgeous. Other than that, nothing extra ordinary : food , coffee and service nothing so special as mentioned in some reviews related to this place. Actually the scones were awful. Picked blueberry scone, a lady in front of me asked the employee why the scone was so dark, the employee said it is the blueberries darkening the color of the scone. I ordered the same since the lady ordered it. Came out and saw with under daylight, it was not the blueberry color but burnt, after a bite it tasted burnt and hard with no freshness, over cooked and left over from previous??. Didn't take a photo of the garbage. Rather go to wholefood for a scone. Grab food somewhere else and eat around the street since there are many benches and picnic table along the lake. Parking was only 75 cent for 30mins. It's the location that's worth if you live around the area.
I was going to order Colombian empanadas but then I saw staff workers grabbing a pre made bag of empanadas which were stored in a sealed plastic case so I turned around and walked out their door.There’s no way I would pay for that type of food.Food is supposed to be freshly made!
They always have my favourite scones which are cheese scones. Other places have only raspberry and blueberry scones. Best cheese scones baked right on the premises.
A wonderful cozy coffee shop with very friendly and attentive service. The shop serves a variety of snacks, pastries, sandwiches, etc. As a quick snack we usually order coffee, a Croqueso, and an Almond Crescent. The shop also carrys a selection of Colombian candy goods and gift items. The shop is split into 2 large rooms consisting of, the shop itself, and a sitting area seperated by a doorway. The sitting area also doubles as a "Salsa Dance Area" on Saturday Evenings. If you don't want to dance you can sit, order something, and watch the dancers. We always stop there when we are in the Bronte area.
Ordered their 'grilled cheese panini' and this is what I got.... it's like ordering a hamburger and getting a single meatball in a bun. I asked the waitress/owner about it, saying "there's just two small pieces of cheese here" and she replied, with a straight face/puzzled look: "yes, well there are two more in the other half..." Unfortunately it seems clear that, while being very polite and well-meaning, the owner has either never actually seen a grilled cheese sandwich before or is insultingly cheap with product... I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and say the former (not that that's an excuse), but I'm still never coming back.
This place is always bumping and it's no surprise why: the staff are wonderful, the ambiance is welcoming, the food is delicious, and the coffee is divine. They have a kindness program where you can pay a coffee purchase forward and they offer dance classes in their event space. They're more of a community institution than merely a cafe and store. I only wish their hours were longer!
