    Amazing experience. The owners are very sweet. I was worried when I saw their big menu but they ended up being one of the few special spots who (yes have a big menu) but make sure *every* single thing is 1. Homemade and 2. Delicious. I had fish nd chips and that perfect crust is to die for. So I just had to try it in their basha fish sandwich and it was AMAZING. Their iced latte is an underrated gem, the almost savoury result from that perfect espresso is truly impressive. I didn’t expect the expresso here to rival (and surpass!!!) the likes of happy goat cafe or equator coffee. The Iced mocha was good but a little too sweet. Their loaded bowl was good too and so was the pistachio cheesecake. I tried their tahini date cake and found it a little sweet and the cake part a little dry, however I saw so much potential in the “cream” part so I decided to try the chocolate hazelnut moose ball? AND IT WAS… amazing. Its the Ferrero Rocher dessert of my dreams AND paired with my iced latte…It couldn’t possibly get any more perfect. Took one last risk with the matcha and it is ALSO good (seriously impressed). I recommend it iced and with oat milk, you’ll get a sweet and nutty treat. This place is a gem and definitely will make it my go to. I’m seriously impressed by everything they have to offer and it’s clear that the owners know their stuff.

    I had brunch here with my friend and the experience was amazing! I got the omlette breakfast and it came with the most PHENOMENAL waffle fries, mini Lebanese kaake bread, and fruits. The blueberry matcha drink had a very authentic blueberry-flavour and high quality matcha. The coffee is also very high quality with great flavour and boldness, yet at a very reasonable price! Would highly recommend!

    Had the steak sandwich at Cuppa on Canotek — the taste was great! The place was clean, cozy, and there’s plenty of parking which is always a plus. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

    This from opening day: Well… Beacon Hill can no longer be left to wonder, “what if we had a great coffee place nearby?” It is here. I checked out Cuppa Chico this morning. Today is opening day at the corner of Shefford and Canotek Roads! What a wonderful buzz as one patron after another excitedly burst through the front door. Everyone was saying how happy they are Cuppa Chico is open. A welcome basket of flowers from Weekly Flowers arrived when I was there. So kind! The service is very warm and friendly. I had a delicious latte and breakfast sandwich, the latter recommended by one of the helpful employees. Both the peanut butter latte and sammy were excellent. Welcome to the neighbourhood! I’ll be back for sure.

    Perfect customer service, very nice place, and the sunrise sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich I've had in a long while and I think it was absolutely worth the money. I was surprised at how fluffy and soft the bread was. The bacon was perfectly cooked. Great experience there. However, I also ordered a few other sweets and the first and only I've tried so far, the pistachio eclair, had a 1/4" shard of pistachio shell in it. An unpleasant surprise, but it could have been worse.

    Finally, I got around to checking this new establishment out, and I was very impressed. The service was great, everyone was friendly and welcoming. I had a mocha Chico with an extra shot of espresso to drink, and it was very yummy. And I risked it all on my food order and went with the fish tacos and they were better than expected. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. My two suggestions would be to reconsider the seating arrangement at the front entrance. There's one table right by the cash that had everyone dancing around trying to move out of each others way. And maybe post your hours of operation, I didn't see any sign that showed this, maybe I just missed it? Otherwise, perfect! Oh, and I should add the price for everything was quite reasonable! *Edit* I went back with my wife and my parents, and they also loved it. Five stars from everyone. The freshness of the bread used for the montreal smoked meat sandwich was especially enjoyed. I had the pulled pork sandwich this time, and it was quite yummy. Can't wait to try something else off the menu!

    This is my new favorite coffee shop. The staff treat you as were one of their family. Always a welcome as you enter. Haven't tried any sandwiches yet but looking forward to next time. Great location and a plus to the Beacon Hill community. Tried the blueberry matcha latte. Definitely my new drink for summer.
