I have been there for >5 times because they have good coffee and friendly staff. The coffee shop is usually not crowded during the day. Whenever I need to get my car fixed nearby or want a different scene for work, Friends is my go-to place. I tried iced coffee, latte, and regular drip coffee. They are all good. The croissant is decent. They also have different kinds of frittata. I will try them whenever I'm there again. Convenient location on Hope Street close to the train station.

Quite little place in Springdale. They have quite a list of food and coffee offerings. The owner is at the Cafe most of the times and the cafe will be full.

I don’t usually write many reviews but I just have to say this place is AMAZING! The people are so sweet, the drinks are incredible, & pastries are delicious. I’d come here every day if I could (I probably already do haha!)

This is a hidden gem with sweet people. My third time here in two weeks and I plan to make this a regular spot. Elderly dog approved

Delicious chai tea and food. Extremely friendly staff. I lost my wallet in the cafe and I called after hours and they picked up and waited for me to come pick it back up. Grateful for the staff to hold on to it until I came back.

Love this cafe for its drinks, food, welcoming environment! I come here in the morning before the train and I get a quick and delicious empanada breakfast and coffee. This is a relaxing reprieve from the hustle and bustle. Love coming here on weekends for brunch and now an affordable happy hour.

I had a delicious broccoli quiche and a couple of empanadas. Very well priced, filled to the brim and they had this light mustardy sauce on the side that I ended up slathering all over the empanadas I liked it so much. I got a large cappuccino and it was good, but kinda disappointed especially after the food. But the service, pricing and the rest made up for it. I'll try other espresso options in the future and let you know if it improves. I'll be back for more quiches and treats.

I’m legit obsessed with this place. Got an oat milk caramel latte and as I was about to leave, I saw they had GF empanadas on the menu. I asked if I could order a few to go and they told me it would be a few minutes because they make the GF ones when ordered. Not a problem - they could not be more attentive or kinder! sweetest staff members, the selection of food looks amazing. Can confirm the coffee is incredible and the GF empanadas are even better. Def get the chicken!!!
