Hamilton Ontario has a few special areas to shop with strong communities and interesting places to shop, Ottawa Street is one of them. I have been going to Sestres for quite a long time, since it opened a couple years ago. I am a huge fan of small business, friendly service and environmentally responsible shops and this one meets the criteria very well.
When you enter Sestres you are met by a large array of pastries that are separated by gluten-free or vegan, honestly you would never know if you judged by looks and taste alone. They have all kinds of coffee service too including the choice of soy milk in all the drinks. When I went for a coffee recently they had begun to serve lunch as well, limited choices but delicious and safe for consumers that want to eat and not worry about their diets.
1) coffee- small- $1.60 med.-$1.89 large-$2.00 8/10
2) roasted- unclear where in Toronto but organic and fair trade 8/10
3) service- excellent, friendly and prompt 8.5/10
4) accessibility- Ottawa and Cannon Street with street parking or local lot 8/10
5) flavour- 7.5/10
6) Eco-friendly- china cups available in cafe, Eco sourced 8/10
7) cup size- 3 sizes to choose from with decent size 9/10
8) food- vegan/gluten-free food and pastries that would appeal to anyone 8/10
9)ambience-small,friendly and family friendly 8/10

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter how healthy a food is if no one will eat it. Lol.
Oh booooo! 😦. It's very tasty actually, although the baklava was my favourite thing there!
