Very cool, laidback, spacious. Small circular wooden tables painted pink. Comfy lounges in alcove. Orange and pink walls. Olive ceiling. Light floods in during the summer afternoon. People sit at laptops – one guy writes in a notebook. A sign is set in our table, “Not in our name. No war on Iraq. No war on the world.” Other signs on walls – “Children should be seen and heard and believed,” “Little by little one walks far,” “It is only to the individual a soul is given.”
I had a short black, $1.50. All coffees come in “small” (12 oz) “medium” (16 oz) or “large” (20 oz) and priced accordingly. Only fair trade coffee is used. My s.b. was strong in flavour, good crema, good temperature.
Only had a choc chip cookie for $1.50. This was large, soft, fresh and good val. Snacks were also available, but we only came for a coffee.
You order and pay at the counter. You collect your own food and beverage. Costs as above. Excellent value.
