Taste Baguette - Feock United Kingdom

Coffee powered by Campos.<br/ <br/ Place: <br/ Not far from the main entrance of east village shopping center, on defries ave, they do have outside tables sitting too.<br/ <br/ Service: <br/ Good and friendly.<br/ <br/ Food Drink:<br/ Take away coffee only.<br/ Campos is a big player in the industry, always love their dark intense taste of caffeine from this brand.<br/

The classic banh mi was really quite tasty, with a lot of ingredients and a fresh crusty baguette, and only $7.80 (but others were strangely much more expensive). The coffee is good hot, strong, rich, not very creamy but it was just what I wanted. They have some breakfast offerings until 11am but it's not clear if they run entirely separate menus I arrived just after 10am and asked about the baguettes and they had to think about them and then said that they had just a few of the selections available. They have a bunch of small outdoor tables where you can watch the world go by or, if you get cold easily, they run their heaters even on a balmy autumn day, so you'll probably enjoy sitting inside.

The tofu baguette (4/5) the baguette is so crispy, the tofu is lovely and soft and the pickled veggies gave this a really great balance in flavours. What a pleasant surprise!<br/ <br/ The watermelon cake (3/5) was nothing special. Sure it was refreshing and creamy but it was missing the rosewater punch and doesn't measure up to the famous black star cake <br/ <br/ The coffee here (4/5) is definitely the better option around East Village. If you're after a coffee to go then Taste Baguette will serve up a decent one<br/ <br/ Overall this place is a bit overpriced but I wouldn't mind coming back and trying other things on the menu to give it another whirl as long as the coffee is good. Some great latte and more Banh mi options here too.

Busy with late lunch diners, early afternoon diners, the cafe was a bustling hive of activity. The guy on the espresso machine had his work cut out for him with a seemingly neverending queue of coffees going out. Good Campos coffee although they did get our iced mocha order wrong, instead serving us an iced green tea latte. The guy taking our order must have gotten confused by our conversation about matcha!

We usually got our Sunday take away coffees in here and we quite enjoy it. Avo on toast was very good as well, we need to try sandwiches soon! The girl at the counter is always smiling and the service is pretty fast.
