The Station: Traditional European Bakery

Stumbled upon The Station today while out for a walk in downtown Brooklin. Upon entering we were greeted warmly by multiple staff, who took our order right away and let us know to take a seat- they would let us know when it was ready to pick up from the counter.

One mocha (medium size) and one cafe au lait (small size) plus a rum ball and one piece of tiramisu came to ~$22 with tip - very fair for hand made espresso drinks and baked goods I'd say.

As far as the ordering process I'd like for some name tags to be added to the items inside the pastry counter. The lovely lady behind the counter didn't mind me asking about each item I was curious about though! It would be nice to have an idea at a glance of what is available- plus signage for those with certain diets or allergies/sensitivities. I also find the digital menu on the wall a tiny bit small/cramped as I had to get very close to the counter to read prices.

I thoroughly enjoyed my coffee and the mocha was good as well, though on the very sweet side.

Sadly the rum ball was on the softer side, and very light on rum to boot. I wouldn't recommend this; it feels closer to a rum flavoured cake pop if that makes sense. The tiramisu is actually a deliciously moist cake with tiramisu flavours - this was very good and I would recommend it, though I would argue it's not quite what I expected.

Checking the website it mentions European flavours with Canadian and Latin influence. I'm curious to see what this entails, with hopes the offerings don't become too numerous and confusing.

Very clean and friendly spot. I would give it a respectable 3.5 as there is room for improvement.

One of my favourite spots to meet clients for coffee. They have many options for food including sandwiches on fresh baked bread! Staff are always welcoming and happy to serve.

Loved the atmosphere of this cafe! And the workers were absolutely lovely!

Excellent selection of fresh baked goods, specialty coffee, etc..... and friendly Staff. A must visit for all to enjoy and a welcomed addition to Brooklin!
