A pleasant place to have a coffee while waiting for a
train to the next destination. It has the aesthetic of a 1940s-1950s American coffeeshop,
albeit with a heavy emphasis on British teas and treats. I enjoyed watching people
walking in, having a coffee, perhaps a pastry, a check of their phone, or
meeting someone before a journey. From Queen Street Station, trips can be a few
minutes or several hours and this small coffee shop is where many of us are
preparing for the day. As people get a takeaway coffee, or a sandwich, a woman
next to me has a text conversation that brings a big smile to her face, maybe a
grandchild or a long-lost friend. An elderly couple wander in, needing directions
for how and what to order, as well as some assistance navigating the train
system. There is communal help for the confused travelers before we all move on
to our next task or adventure.
