  So excited to have these guys in Lethbridge! They do things RIGHT. Especially excited that they use freshly roasted Fratello beans (out of Calgary) - very quality beans.
  
  COFFEE: Had an Americano and a drip with my wife. The lighter roast espresso (the Godfather blend) was tremendous; one of the better Americano's I've ever ordered. And the drip was from Fratello's Costa Rican bean - also amazing. They use Acme mugs, which are super quality, cool, and keep the drinks hot for a long time.
  
  STAFF: The staff was very friendly, personal, and attentive to our needs.
  
  FOOD: My wife and I ordered the chicken and waffles and the eggs benny. Both tasted clean and delicious! On the eggs benny, the hollandaise sauce was buttery and perfect, and the housemade rosemary sausage paired with it wonderfully on the english muffin. The chicken and waffles were also excellent!
  
  The decor and atmosphere is great, some nice hipster/quality vibes happening. But more than anything, they really do it right with their coffee. Will be going back regularly!

  This place is my go-to for coffee and breakfast when I'm in Lethbridge. The staff is lovely, coffee is great, and the veggie eggs benny is delightful. I'm typically in town for 3-4 days every so often and Stoketown always treats me right. It's a great space for getting some work done while you down your morning coffee.

  We were excited to try them out. Always love when a new trendy coffee house/restaurant opens in town. Its very cool inside and they have done a good job on that. That, unfortunately, is where all the "good" ends.
  It should have been a sign that at 1:30 in the afternoon, downtown, the place was empty...
  We were extremely disappointed in the food!!! We ordered the $13 brisket sandwich which comes with coleslaw on it and no sides. What we got was a small bun with maybe 4 ounces of chunks of fat and gristle that we couldn't even eat. Literally, you could not bite through it. You couldn't even see the meat on the bun until you opened it up. Brisket sandwiches should be tender meat overflowing the bun (especially when its that small of a bun, and especially for that price!!!)  We returned it. The $5 side of mac and cheese (made with applewood smoked cheddar) looked delicious, but was so bland that you couldn't tell there was cheese on it... at all! So disappointed in the food.
  The coffee wasn't much better. Sour tasting, so not sure if maybe just sat too long before serving...
  The servers... The one that is taller with dark hair was great! Very friendly and provided great service. The shorter one with blonde hair was not doing the place any favours. She was less than friendly and when she brought one of our drinks she basically dropped it on the table, spilling some and walked away. Didn't even offer to wipe up the table. Just walked away. She had zero personality and zero service skill.
  If this is the service and quality that this place is putting out, I can't see this place lasting long!!
  I definitely wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it!!

  I took my two kids and inlaws for a quick lunch and coffee. I was so excited to see they had a little bin of toys and crayons to entertain my toddler. The decor is hip and fun. The baristas were friendly. But that's where the positives end. They only had booster seats. No high chairs for the baby. I was so exited to order the Montreal Smoked Meat. It was soooo sad. I'm sorry to say. A smoked meat comes stacked... I mean stacked with meat. I grew up out East and I've never been so disappointed. Ok, I get a bun is a way to put your signature spin on it. Normally a smoked meat is on rye with a strong mustard. Neither of which were present. But the most upsetting thing was the price I paid for that "smoked meat sandwich". $13!!! Fries were extra. There was also a drug exchange happening in front of the door when I was paying. I'm not docking any stars for that because it's obviously out of their control.
