Fantastic cafe and great evening. Can't wait to go back.
Cool little spot in the downtown area. Occasional live music and excellent drink options.
Sorry I didn't take a picture of it. Worst espresso in the USA so far.How on earth they managed to get it so wrong I don't know.They have a Lavazza machine that works with capsules. Pretty much like a Nespresso machine you'd have at home. It's meant to be fool proof.A single espresso, served in a lovely glass cup, was no darker than tea and unrecognisable as coffee.Extremely disappointing. I was so excited for a good coffee coming to the Kentlands.
Dear Iason Demos,firstly, thank you for the gesture of giving me a refund.Secondly, I am sorry to do this but your reply isn't acceptable as it contains too many inaccuracies and you deserve to get full feedback so you can improve your operation.let's do some actual "looking in to it".-I specifically asked the young lady, the staff", if she was sure to have used a fresh capsule and she confirmed she was. She then proceeded to make up a story about needing a double espresso to have some "crema" (her words).-She also most definitely did NOT offer to make another espresso. how could she after making up that story of the double.I don't even think it would be fair to blame the young lady for the poor coffee as obviously she had never seen an espresso out of that machine ever before as it looked acceptable to her. That's lack of training IMO.The making up of stories, to me first and then to you it would seem, that's another issue.
Environment is relaxing and the space is aesthetically pleasing! I order the lavender latte w oat milk, which is tiny in size. Plus the eggplant spread. Eggplant spread has no flavor in my opinion and was a waste of calories. Their healthy food options on the menu are none from what I can see. The staff talked a lot and loudly, which I found very distracting but how can you tell the staff not to talk? It would have been different if other people were talking but no one was. I missed the music that they had scheduled live. Hope to catch the music sometime in the future. Seats were hard.Parking is street parallel and free.I'd go back for the latte and music.
Great place to sit and relax. Good wine selection and friendly service. I didn't try their baked goods and coffee but will in my future visits. The cafe walls are adorned with the work of local photographers and it extends to an additional gallery room.
Wonderful selection of local art. Super nice about providing contact info if interested in displaying any photography yourself. No outdoor seating currently, but they said it’s coming soon. Door was left open on a nice day for a lovely breeze. Great place for a glass of wine, coffee or light faire. Books are for sale or to peruse. All art is for sale also. Great addition to the Kentlands conveniently located near Yoyogi, the meadery and a lovely outdoor seating area.
The owner is extremely nice, friendly and easy to talk to. It reminds me of a mix of the quirky themed cafes in Asia and the many tiny hole-in-the-wall bars in Japan where the owners are also the sole bartender. The cafe serves light alcohol and European pastries and foods. The photo gallery downstairs is really cool and showcases techniques I wasn’t aware of. The book shelves are full of photography books to look through with a variety of topics. An amazing place to relax in. It’s one of the rare businesses with a vision to better the community.
Stopped by for after-walk drink and snack. Lovely place to visit, peruse books and decor
Great addition to the neighborhood. Wonderful vibe for relaxing alone, hanging with friends, or business coffee.
