Great selection of gourmet carefully selected specialty coffee and in-store baked snacks. Scones are especially lovely. Enjoy outdoor patio

Great vibe. Delicious drinks. Lovely service from everyone. Honestly my only gripe is it’s a bit pricey

The drinks are good enough that I come back despite it but god damn

This is the very friendly cafe which would have accepted jazz for brunch in downtown Collingwood

Really nice spot to get good espresso drinks and yummy pastries. Their almond croissant is amazing.

Only coffee shop worth supporting in Collingwood! Especially now that all the chains charge the same price for poorly made coffee.

Honestly I’m sure it’s great all though I can’t taste my coffee now because the water temp you use is so astronomically hot that I burned my tongue on the first sip so bad, I’ve never had my tongue be this burnt from any coffee (with cream) in my life I can’t even imagine a black coffee, so honestly that’s the reason for my rating because that’s insane

Flat white served with far too much milk. Barista disagreed that there should be a greater coffee-to-milk proportion. Oh well.
Also beans were over roasted.
And no 'for here" cups.
All in all a disappointment.

If you have the time this is hands down the best place in town to get coffee, especially if you love to support local (: That being said the line can get very lengthy and depending on what you order you would be waiting a while for your food and/or drink!

Amazing cafe! The coffee and sandwiches were delicious. They have a nice patio outside and cozy seating inside. The staff were quite nice and very fast, considering how busy it was! Highly recommend!

Great little gem. Espresso products were top shelf (and we know what we are talking about). Butter Tarts and Bakery goods made fresh on site. No disappointment - J#

Staff is unfriendly and just seem like they would rather not serve customers. Coffee, scones, sandwiches, etc are good but nothing special. I do appreciate the outdoor seating for accessibility and nice days. Gibson and Co is another close cafe with a larger space and kinder staff.

Huge lineup, good espresso, but service was extremely slow. Unsure whether they were missing a person on floor, but 2 people were haphazardly trying to make food and drinks, while randomly stopping to take an order every now and again. Made my iced drink hot by accident (order was repeated/confirmed), then poured hot beverage over ice. Not great after waiting so long!

Waited in line for a long time and then when I was served I ordered 2 scones and only got one, the barista said she accidentally didn’t charge me for the other scone so she didn’t give it to me but they don’t list prices. I paid $15 for 2 Americanos and 1 scone then!? The Americanos were $4 each, so I paid $7 for a scone!? I should have asked for a receipt but I just wanted to get out of there as I had such a bad experience. I don’t blame the barista, she was a nice girl and it was very busy, but I am not coming back and would not recommend. Cafe should list their prices and get more help on the weekend mornings. Also, the scone was dry and I ended up throwing it out, deff not worth it!

Been here four times, and I can safely say that this is the best espresso in Collingwood, which isn't saying much of anything at all, unfortunately. Overextracted and bitter, and they know it, as they always ask if you want sugar.

The guy behind the counter is generally more concerned with talking to other staff and regulars than with customers in general, but he pulls a competent coffee, so it's almost a wash.

The atmosphere is *awful*, though, and this is not designed for people to comfortably have a coffee. All the seating is solid wood chairs, nothing plush, and everything is monochrome. The only pops of colour other than brown are the leaves of a potted palm and a green, leather upholstered chair, whose promise of comfortable seating is kept only in comparison to the other chairs.

It's drab, full of itself, and too hung up on its past accomplishments to be willing to change from the worst caricature of an early 2000s hipster bar. Not the café that downtown needs, but the one it deserves.

Great service, perfect cortado coffee and a delicious chocolate croissant! Highly recommend!

Came here for a late breakfast - short line that moved slow but steady. Scones and muffins are delicious. Ordered a grilled cheese focaccia with spinach, tomato, and hot salami added on which although tasted good, cost more than $19. It is a small focaccia as well. Not sure how a couple slices of tomato, some spinach and salami add more than $10 to the original grilled cheese price ($9.xx), but I won’t be returning for the same thing. Stick to the baked goods - which are worth it.

One of the best lattes I’ve had! We also got their speciality Black Forest latte and it really tasted like a Black Forest cake. Can’t wait to visit again to try other drinks on their menu.

Great coffee! Their baked goods and pastries are exceptional! Croissants were some of the best I’ve had!

Always great. Relax, meet friends, and enjoy the delicious drinks, baked goods and friendly atmosphere.

Cozy, friendly atmosphere. The quality of their pastries and coffee is superb. I liked very much the tables and chairs, nice solid mahogany woodwork. Their croissant and Portuguese cream tart are exceptional!

I chose this place for coffee in Collingwood because the main picture showed a bicycle locked to a sidewalk patio.
It was the right choice.
Yummy treats!

Absolutely gorgeous milk. Micro foam was perfect on my flat white and the cortado was beautiful. I had to of course get a French press and a had of beans to go.
From the decor in the front to the sweet wallpaper and Aesop soap on the washrooms this space was incredibly quaint. We felt welcomed immediately.
We met the owners. What beautiful souls. The 2 baristas there were so lovely. This was our weekend away and we scored when finding this cafe.
When we are back that way we will definitely be going back.
There is such a sense of community. If I lived in Collingwood that would be my spot for sure.
Check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Ps. There are amazing baked goods as well. Xo
