I love meeting up with folks here especially if you don't want the heaviness of a full meal! The whole ambiance with classical music and their menu of beverages, sweets and sandwiches. Everything I've tried here has been tasty. They have limited seating so I've seen it completely full if someone brings a larger group through the doorway. They have a bathroom that is keypad locked so if you've made a purchase just ask them for the #. The Hokkaido Toast sandwich was light and airy. The signature cream does make it on the sweeter side. It paired so well with the rose matcha latte which I've ordered twice now. The pastries and cakes look so tempting too in the display panels. I don't typically drink coffee but if I ever get there early enough I'll try the Crème Brûlée, Vienna Pistachio, or their signature latte. As a tea lover they also have some additional retail items for you to browse for tea steeping and gift sets. The only downside and maybe that's what makes it not as crazy busy on weekends as Tatte is that I want even more options. You can also order whole cakes too if one slice isn't enough. When it gets warmer I will try some of their smoothies and chilled drinks over ice!
An extra 1.25 for oat milk? So my small latte went from 4.95 to $6.20! Seems excessive . . . But the macaroon was truly delicious!
Classy caffe playing classical music. Clean and modern fixtures. Relaxing atmosphere. Had a smoothie which I'm confident had fresh fruit and the most delicious bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich. Probably one of the best I've ever had. Not sure if it was on a sweeter bread or had honey on it or what but was the perfect "sweet and salty" and very fresh. A little pricey but worth it for the quality. Highly recommended and will be back!
Wonderful little gem on Moody street. Had an Early Grey latte and croissant. Lovely sitting area, clean and great service.
What a neat little cafe. I had a very good croissant and a decaf ice latte as a late summer treat. Friendly and efficient service rounded out the nice time I had with a couple of friends.
Good iced oat latte. Good size cup and well blended. Lots of seating. Excellent AC. Clean and bathroom available. Good WiFi. Great coffee shop.
Now that Indulgenza went out of business, it seems to me there are only two coffee centered places on Moody St., but what fantastic cafes they are! Common Good is the main one, and Caffe Ollo is the other further up near the bridge. They've been around for less than a year but we stumbled on it within their first week. This cafe has a very sleek and modern interior, well lit with beautiful decorations often musically themed, and classical music playing. It's a very tranquil atmosphere and I enjoy hanging out there. They have numerous delicious pastries, including a spinach & feta one, chocolate croissants, crepes, danishes, breakfast sandwiches, and apple type squares too. There are numerous yogurt, marscapone, and mousse cakes and macarons as well. When it comes to latte flavors, Caffe Ollo is among the very best you could find. Not only do they have a great line-up of common ones like vanilla, mocha, hazelnut, lavender, even brown sugar(!), etc. but they have two fantastic special flavors with cold foam, called Crème Brûlée (with caramel drizzle as well) and Vienna Pistachio! The coffees are very smooth and on the lighter side, perfect for what I'm looking for. They also have many fruit teas, refreshers, and delicious looking smoothies that I will surely try this summer. This place is pretty specialized and upscale, prices a bit high, so great to visit when you're looking to treat yourself. There's one barista in particular who's there a lot, great and personable. Caffe Ollo is one of my favorite places to visit in the area and comes highly recommended!
Caffe Ollo opened in October 2023. It is a welcome café addition to Moody St as there aren't as many as you think that sell lattes. They have delicious lattes, really good pastries. Really pretty ambiance - you feel fancy being in there as it has a clean, modern aesthetic. Classical music is played, the café is focused on musical themes which I appreciate! The service is great. They sell food items like croissants, macarons, tiramisu, sandwiches. They have lattes, refreshers, teas. Their rewards program allows for a free piece of tiramisu once you get 100 "music notes" or points. Parking is street parking but there's a lot nearby which is low cost and fast to walk to if you don't find a spot on Moody St near the café. The only con is the price of the pastries but they are so pretty (and tasty) you can forgive the price a little bit. I really enjoy going when I can and there's one barista, Melissa (not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly), that I am always excited to see as she makes delicious drinks and is really nice!
