I love this place for the ambiance, the proximity to my school, and, of course, the amazing coffee.
The baked goods are also really nice, and I love the newly-improved patio space. I've had good experiences with the staff; I think it's because they recognize their regulars and give them a little extra friendliness.. but that's no reason to be rude to everyone else.

+ pretty neighbourhood
+ beautiful, unique, two-level space (distillery location)
+ best mocha of my life
- a bit out of the way
- kind of pretentious
This place is pretty nice; it's a good quiet break from some of the more bustling cafes around the city.
Of course, the coffee is excellent.. but the mocha, which comes with a little biscuit stick, is fabulous.
They just opened a new location in liberty village.. I'd expect that one to be pretty well the same in terms of accessibility and pretentiousness.

I've been going to Leandro for about 5 years now and I couldn't be happier. He does such a great job on my wavy hair, and helps me choose original styles that suit me and that are easy to maintain. I never know exactly what I want, so it's good to know that he'll be able to turn my little idea into a great hairstyle.
Cuts here aren't cheap, but I feel like it's worth it-- like a good pair of jeans or great shoes, a great hairstyle is something you wear all the time.

Cacharel NOA perfume
I love this fragrance. It's fruity without being tropical, and sweet without being too cloying or heavy. It also has a spiciness that I find really classic.. I want this to become my signature scent!

+ really charming, cozy space
+ best. coffee. ever. (intelligentsia)
This place is awesome... I'm so pleased to have such a great spot in my neighbourhood. I love the simple and friendly touches, like the reading material kept nicely stacked, the rounded pricing (no riffling for loose nickels and dimes), and the good-looking staff!

+ beautiful, comfortable space
+ high quality nail polish
+ friendly, accommodating, and professional service
- hard to see from the street
- radio :(
this place seems like a well-kept secret, but maybe that's because I went on a weekday afternoon. my manicurist helped me choose a colour when I hesitated in front of the wide selection.
my one criticism is that they should play a continuous CD or playlist instead of the radio; those ads drive me crazy!
