I am a little slow with this review, but I wanted to give Stuart a HUGE shout out for helping me out on Valentine's Day. Due to my boyfriend having to do snow removal, I wasn't able to see him, and I wanted to do something nice for him. So I pre-ordered and pre-paid for his favorite beverage, and left a note to hold onto the order and give it to my bf when he comes in. Stuart was kind enough to write JT (heart) Sandra, on the cup, and made him the best double macciato, which made my heart smile. Also, you just HAVE to have one of his bulldog chocolates. I think I drooled more than the bulldog would have! Now I know why he's an award winning barista!
The best in Downtown! Never asked for the review - just the recommendation from my heart. I was looking for a good coffee around within 2 years, trust me, I know what I am talking about. And if you have a sweet tooth, try the pistachio cinnamon - it’s delicious!
The best coffee shop ever. The Almond croissant is divine, the coffees are out of this world and the place is amazing. The guy making the coffee is so nice and friendly. Rating is not 5 but it is 5 And above all, the guy is a dog lover
Great spot. This place is a one man show. Not only was he barista of the year, and makes incredible microfoam lattes like no other, he bakes all of his own sweets! The shop is quaint and quiet, definitely worth a visit.
We randomly came here on a weekend to try their cool looking latté! What we ended up with was meeting this lovely gentleman making art. Would definitely recommend checking out.
Bulldog coffee is so so so nice. Cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Staff are brilliant, polite,knowledgeable, and all-around, so nice people. Coffee is delicious. May I recommend the bulldog.... and do not hesitate to grad a snack. Them treats will get you coming back for more. Highly recommended. I will go back... again and again. Cheers. Don't forget your yummy treat.
Solid place, everyone mentions the vibe and it’s true. Great way to start the morning. Thanks Stuart for my making my first trip enjoyable.
