A Kensington Market cafe and bar with an eclectic, slightly chaotic energy that fits the neighbourhood perfectly. Great coffee, great vibe, no pretension.

Drink Quality: 4/5 Drink Selection: 3/5 Pastry Quality: 3/5 Pastry Selection: 2.5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 2.5/5 Cleanliness: 3/5 Location: 3.5/5 Located in Kensington Market, this café offers both front and back patios, with ample workspace and accessible outlets for electronic devices. A medium latte costs $5 (before tax and tip), and while the drink quality is solid, the selection is fairly average. The interior has a minimalist look, with functional seats and a casual, unpretentious atmosphere. While this simplicity may appeal to some, others might find it lacking in character or intentional design. A "grenade" art piece (see picture) at the entrance seems to convey a political message, which could be potentially off-putting for some. The back patio has a welcoming, homey atmosphere, enhanced by shade from apple trees. However, the lack of air conditioning can make the indoor space uncomfortably stuffy on hot days. Pastry options are limited, and while the quality is decent, it's not a highlight. Service is functional but lacks warmth or engagement. Cleanliness is average overall. There are several washrooms in the basement, but they're only accessible via stairs, which may present a challenge for some guests.
Charming little spot in Kensington! We came for drinks on a Friday night and sat out on the patio, which was super cozy with apple trees growing through it and twinkle lights overhead. The espresso martini was fantastic.
Love this place. The staff, the art, the music (not mall music :)) The 2 patio selection and the atmosphere. I’ve been coming here for years and finally giving them some love to let everyone know. Oh and the small music events they have as well are great. ThankYOU PAMENAR :)
Love this hole in the wall cafe beside a bike store. They have a variety of coffee, tea, beer, and other alcoholic drinks. They encourage you to not bring your laptops but instead to be offline and talk to each other. They also have a patio at the back and washroom in the basement.
A laid-back, indie-style café with excellent espresso and a super cosy interior. It’s the kind of spot where people come to read, work or just sit quietly for a while. The backyard patio is also a great place to relax on warmer days.
