Everyone is so into places like this. It is a cup of coffee. No better or worse than anywhere else. More concerning to me is the wooden stir stick concept and the DIY milk/sugar. Those stir sticks have a flavour that ruins coffee to me. Good cakes/cookies and such available, high prices ruin them though.

This is a great little coffee shop. It's a touch bohemian, which is surprising considering we are in Sydney, N.S.
My wife and I had an iced coffee and a latte. Both were excellent.
Definitely recommend this joint.

I'm addicted to coffee and travel all over the Maritimes for work! I'm always looking for new Cafes to try! This is one of the best place I've been to! Great coffee and awesome people!

Keep up the great work!

Stayed overnight at the Sydney waterfront holiday inn. The pub was off the lobby. Food was really good value for the money. Limited menu but good selection. Service was really good. Fun waitress. Glass never empty. Would go again.
