The outside is inviting with a few tables on the wide sidewalk of a low-traffic street just off Burrard. The inside decor is simple, modern, and quite comfortable, but showing a few signs of wear. The thud, thud, thudy music was playing a little too loud and detracted from the appeal of the location.
Service tended to taciturn with few customers receiving much more than a perfunctory "Hello" or "Thank you", but the pace was good enough to keep up with the steady stream of customers of a Saturday lunchtime. A nice touch was that the staff were bringing orders to the customers' tables instead of leaving people to hover at the counter.
My friend rated her Moccachino highly. The fern artwork in her milk froth indicated an experienced hand at work but, oh dear oh dear, my drink, an Americano, was completely insipid. Blah! The accompanying Ameretto cookie was slightly undercooked (I look for a slightly crisp shell with a soft centre) but tasted really good.
In summary, on the day of our visit, this place was a mix of good and bad. On balance, it left me disappointed.
