Spring Round Up 1

We started rating coffee shops at the start of Spring this year and we've been having a great time doing it! But we know your time is precious and you may not have time to read them all, so we've rounded them up for you in a nice little package.

  • Lots of booths! You can have your own personal space while still experiencing the vibrant coffee shop environment.
  • Osmar's favorite blueberry muffin can be found here (if he hasn't eaten them all).
  • It's easy to find parking, and there's a secret set of spots in the alley just north of the shop.

  • We're big fans of the matcha lattes at SK.
  • The food is top notch! They have a great lentil curry pastry that Juliet would like to eat daily.
  • Taking meetings at SK can be hit or miss. The music is usually at a decent level but sometimes less suitable as the background to your Zoom call.

  • Dogwood has great coffee. If you like to brew at home, it's worth picking up a bag of beans.
  • If you're looking for a non-distracting environment, Dogwood is a great choice.
  • There is pretty solid wifi and there has always been ample seating available when we have gone.

  • The ambiance at Nina's is great! While it may not be the best for work, it's a great social spot.
  • Lots of dairy free milks at Nina's but beware — the drinks with caramel made Osmar's tummy hurt.
  • Because it's such a fun spot with great drinks, it's often fairly crowded which makes it a riskier option.
