They make their mocha with their very own chocolate syrup! It's delicious! This mocha rivals Moonbean, and is definitely a must have! It wasn't to bitter, or strong or sweet, it was just right! I loved it :) Plus, they made the best latte art I've seen in a while!
Fun Bonus: You can buy their cute cups and saucers, complete with their squirrel logo!
Size: Pretty decent. However, you need to get their early to get a good seat! You might even be lucky and get a spot as someone is leaving! It's a popular place, and people love to sit there for a while reading and writing on their lap tops. You might have to share some table space! But other than that, it has room for all!
Menu: Great selection of drink choices. It's nice and visible, plus there are a bunch of treats to choose from as well! I hear that clover drip coffee is good! I would highly recommend the mocha though!!
Atmosphere: Very student and artist oriented. This place has a great "indie" vibe. Obviously, that all depends on your definition of indie. It's a great meeting place for those who want to discuss life, art and love. It's perfect for just sitting down and reading your favourite book, or perhaps even your text book. The people who work there are super nice and helpful. There's a great energy in this place, no wonder it's hard to find a place to sit!
Overall, Manic Coffee is definitely one of my go-to places! It's unfortunate that it's always so busy when I go in! I recommend waiting around for a seat, or getting there early enough that you can claim your spot. If you're a student or artist, you'll fit right in! And even if you aren't, you'll fit in anyway. :)
Date Potencial: 9/10 Hearts. If you can find a nice intimate spot in the cafe than it's perfect! However, you might have terrible finding the perfect place unless you plan it correctly. It's for sure a great place to grab a coffee and chat about all sorts of things. The atmosphere in the place really brings out interesting topics!
Great For: Students, Artists, people looking for a great cup of coffee and a place to chill!
Manic Coffee gets 5/5 Smiles from me!
