La Coop Coffee

La Coop truly has brightened and improved the neighborhood, particularly its immediate area of Kennedy St. It transformed its corner of Kennedy and 5th, which had been vacant, run-down, and depressed for years. The café, inside and out, and grounds, are beautiful. The décor, furnishings, and lighting are lovely, artistic, and warm. The staff and ambiance are also warm, friendly and easy-going. Their coffee (usually I order a drip, black) is delicious. Recently I tried their hot horchata, which wasn't hot (was warm) but tasted good; very sweet. At some point I will give the horchata another go.

Big fan of my neighborhood spot here, even though they moved a few blocks farther away from me :) Overall a great local, independent coffee shop!I love the new space--it's pretty spacious with board games, toys for kids, and plenty of seating of different types. Location is also convenient, as it's in the main strip on Kennedy near the record store, ice cream shop, pizza place, etc.The coffee tastes great and is ethically sourced, which is so important. I'm so glad they expanded their menu, too! There are more pastries on offer (including vegan scones) and bites for lunch like sandwiches and empanadas. My only wish is for more substantial plant based options!

We have missed La Coop SO much and are overjoyed that they are back and better than ever. The new location is huge, stunningly decorated inside with warm greens and golds and fun wallpaper. They also have the cutest outdoor area good for kids and big groups. The food is elevated now too! Breakfast sandwiches galore! We had the Kennedy street which had bacon and cheese on a scone, so good. The staff is just as wonderful as they always were. So glad to have our weekend spot back!!

I stopped in around 11am on a Thursday to work for about an hour, looking for a warm and inviting place to have a coffee and a croissant and that's exactly what I got. They have the WiFi information proudly displayed by where you pick up your coffee so no need to worry about bothering these hard working people for the information. Most of the small tables have two seats and there is one area with about four large chairs. The space did fill up quickly on this holiday but it was a nice place to work and for new scenery. The latte was also delicious!
