I really want to give them 5 stars they don't have wi fi (the only reason I need a coffee shop is because I work remotely and I like working out of different shops around town), and they also ask for a tip before anything was received or any service was rendered. 1 star for no reliable internet, 1 star for asking for a tip at the point of sale before receiving my order.More details:Unfortunately this shop does not have their own Wi Fi. There is a public Telus connection, but it is weak and very unreliable. If they had their own Internet with a reliable connection I'd be buying coffee and lunch here all the time.If you also work remote and you're looking for a place to get stuff done, this isn't the shop for you. But if you're looking for a locally owned place to have a coffee with your friend definitely check this spot out!

I so, so, so wanted to like this place but simply cannot and, boy, have I tried; been at least half a dozen times now and am disappointed every single time. Most nonchalant, disinterested staff; coffee, is bitter, even sour; rock hard cookies at $3/piece, so much as I love the ambience *jazz music and great lighting* it is an Asian owned cafe trying desperately hard to be a quaint European cafe but sadly, and loudly, missing the mark.
