Isabella and Alex possess a warm and welcoming demeanour that made my regular visit to the bookstore a standout experience. Isabella was kind and creative enough to take a request to “surprise me with something sweet and caffeinated” and make a delicious warm drink that really hit the spot on a chilly afternoon. Will come again!

Purchased a bag of beans. The lady who works here is so sweet, I was indecisive but she was so patient. Had the Honey Lavender Matcha as the barista said it was one of her favorites! Delicious!

Very nice little coffee shop inside the Chapters Indigo store. Good croissants. Do ask the staff to hear it up.

Alex and Isabella were fantastic and friendly towards me and my friends and the iced Cheesecake latte was perfect! They have a really great selection of syrups as well for many different flavour profiles and combinations. The baked goods are everything you could possibly want, they're soft, sweet, and big enough to share. I will definitely be coming back whenever I find myself at Yorkdale.

I got an Iced Americano from Propeller Coffee and it was great! Located inside of Indigo, it provides a perfect opportunity to grab a quick drink while either reading your book, or looking for a new book to purchase. Service was quick, staff were friendly and the location is perfect! Would recommend.
