I will be honest, I am not the biggest coffee drinker in the world so I seldom come here for my own needs. Not to mention I have someone who provides me with free French Press ready coffees due to where they work.(Thanks M!) In fact the main reason I would come here is because I just happen to be visiting Peak Freans next door. However, what I do see if as plenty useful is for gift stuffers. If you know anyone who owns one of the many full-serve coffee machines and loves to get those flavoured coffee packages by the dozen, then here is the place to come. They also have some interesting, if a bit of overpriced teas. Perhaps they are really expensive and they are cheaper here but I have seen great, cheaper tea elsewhere. It is worth mentioning that in general, their prices are very good, perhaps I am not the customer to judge, although I would visit again and take a look if I was purchasing a tea/coffee related gift for someone else.

I have visited this store twice. I stop by when I do my monthly visit to the Peak Freans cookie outlet next door. I am an avid tea drinker. This store has a variety of tea for our Keurig machine as well as regular bag and loose leaf teas. What do I buy the most? I like the Tea Squared bags that you can fill up with your favourite loose leaf tea. Sometimes, I forget my tea egg ball or infuser, so going with a customizable bag that you can toss out is convenient, especially when you travel. You can buy a pack of 100 empty tea bags for $ 10.99. There are also a number of tea accessories(for example, double-insulated tea mugs from Bodum or travel mugs that you cannot knock over if you are a klutz like I am). The store had a sale section. I got a box of apple cider for my Keurig for $ 5. Insane! I like this place. The only reason why I didn’t give a higher rating was the loud conversation that two staff members were having. I didn’t need to hear it at the opposite side of the store. If it were an interesting conversation, I wouldn’t have minded. However, I’d simply recommend toning it down, as folks are there to shop in peace!
