I don’t think I will ever find a drink as satisfying as the citro booster. It is served either hot or cold, though I think I do prefer the hot version. It’s the perfect mix of spicy from ginger and slightly sweet from honey. I dream of this drink. Anytime I feel like I might be coming down with something or if I am feeling under the weather this is what I crave. It’s also so good without being sick at all! There’s a cute playground right across the street soo nice to be able to grab a coffee/snack before the kids go play.

There’s a water station you can fill up your bottle here. It’s helpful so you don’t have to wait in line for water.This is a beautiful space with the decor and tiling fitting a modern cafe style.Service is fine, could be improved a bit as the Barista seemed a bit annoyed when I inquired about the drink ingredients.

Cute Balzac’s location for hanging out with friends or studying. The inside is very cozy and spacious with plenty of tables. There’s a wide selection of drinks available, and they are consistent with the high quality of the other Balzac’s locations.

Small Cafe. High ceilings, both booth seats and tables. Some plants and cute string lights for a nice vibe. Background music. Can get busy, but there's always somewhere to sit. There is plenty of seating for its size. Great coffee and treats. Fairly priced for the quality of coffee they serve. 8.9/10 would recommend

Nice and cozy little spot in the neighborhood! I like this place because of the decorations, coffee and patio area. Some how I feel like staffs are almost friendly but not that friendly. I was so excited with affogato but then the ice cream was frozen like a rock and the glass that they serve affogato was impossible to enjoy affogato unless you have to wait until the ice cream melted. I would suggest them to serve it in a bowl that would make it so much better to enjoy!

EDIT: Although I planned to never return to this location, I was visiting my sister from out of town and we wanted to get some drinks. The restaurant adjacent was closed and so this spot was our only option. I was reminded why I never wanted to come back… as I found a hair in my drink. Do yourself a favour and skip this place… 2 bad experiences cannot be a coincidence.Overall disappointed in my first visit to Balzac’s. The hot chocolate was pretty cold and my cup wasn’t filled all the way, but the veggie sandwich was ok (tiny but ok). Only reason I didn’t go back to say something was because the staff were not friendly whatsoever and treated me as if they were annoyed that I came in to order breakfast. Wasn’t worth it. Will not return.

Balzac is a great coffee spot. The space is big and airy with many tables. They have many options beyond coffee- I highly recommend their tea latte selection (pro tip- ask for half sweet)! Also, the hours are amazing, it’s open from 7am-7pm so it’s a great spot for a quick coffee or to sit and get work done for a longer period. They have WiFi and a great selection of treats.

Absolutely love Balzacs coffee and this location is no different!They offer a wide variety of coffee, teas, and espresso drinks, along with baked goods, and some sandwiches.This location in particular is quite nice. Located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by a couple of parks, it makes for a great location to go out for a walk afterwards.The interior is decorated very nicely, and they have both a front and back patio for when the weather is warmer.Located in an old powerhouse building, the location and surrounding area has a really nice industrial aesthetic.Parking is free, however it's street parking alongside the townhouses. It's usually pretty easy to get parking thereStaff is incredibly nice and knowledgeable, and they have excellent COVID precautions as well.

Great atmosphere, the coffee was okay. A bit lacking coffee taste, more like drinking milk.
