Manic Coffee

Fantastic coffee shop with reasonably priced items. If you are looking for a baked good to accompany your beverage, this place has some of the best baked goods in the city.

Love the cold brew and pastry. Great service! Highly recommend.

Went in looking to buy coffee bans and received knowledgeable advice from staff on the different roasts they offered. Great service!

Distancing lines are clearly marked on the floor, which is nice.

I have been going to this place for years even when this used to be owned by another owner and when they served great gelato. Lately I find the drinks I got here is really inconsistent probably attribute to the constant turnover of staff and lack of consistency/training. One time the chocolate was stuck to the bottom of the cup and was super sweet horrible. The croissant was also cold to touch and staff didn't offer to warm up.
The most recent incident that bothered me was that when the food bank just down the street got broken into. Our volunteer coordinator asked to borrow the phone for a call for help. She was scared that someone might be hiding inside the food bank and may attack her when she gets in. Manic coffee staff/owner refused. The staff, however, did care or was nosy enough to walk over to check out what happened and when he saw the door was broken, in oppose to offering help, he just walked away! Honestly many of our volunteers go to Manic coffee for years so this incident really shocked and disappointed us. Even big chains like Aroma and Starbucks donate excess food to us. I expect a neighborhood coffee shop to do better. :(

It looks so good inside. A lot of seating and a cute little window area at the front. Their Kyoto Smoke tea latte is my favourite, and it is not too sweet. The barista was very kind and genuine. One of my favourite coffee shops around there.
