Great coffee. Not pretentious. The dark roast is my personal fave, as are the ginger molasses cookies.

Sophisticated interpretation of Canadian comfort foods. A cozy but sophisticated atmosphere. It would be a real sin to miss out on the "Ember Grilled Hen-o’-the-Woods Mushrooms".

Tasty treats. The pasteis de natas are pretty good - best warmed with cinnamon sprinkled on top.

Drinks & Nightlife

Drink like a pro. Excellent cocktails and 'old-timey bartenders (suspenders and everything!) Here, cocktail-making is an art form. You can order off the menu, or tell the bartender what you fancy, and they'll tailor something just for you. Very dim lighting makes everyone appear 30% more attractive.
