Great coffee & seed cookies but you’ll be lucky to find an open seat . It’s a very popular place. I lucked out on my last visit.
This is a favourite stop of mine in Stratford. The coffee is great and so are the seed cookies . The real trick here is timing and it seems more often than not, the place is full of patrons.
Had a nice espresso here on my trip to Stratford. Great atmosphere for lounging or getting work done.
nice and cozy place with lots of pastry options and good coffee ????
The cafe has a bright ambiance with a small drink menu. Sadly, it is the most expensive cafes I’ve ever visited! I ordered a matcha latte , but the price did not suit the somewhat average drink
The original Balsac's. Lovely decor, sweet back patio , chessboards available. A real gem.
Love the atmosphere and the friendly service
Great coffee . The Farmers blend and Balzac's own. Try a teaspoon of honey in ur coffee
