Favourite things at Cherry Bomb

the vibe is oh so sweet seventies/ikea/friendly/cool graphics/tight squeeze/fresh-baked and the coffee (espresso, for me) is fresh, free trade, dark, never burned, never bitter, always divine, and with a stupendously perfect crema. Plus they make their own yummy scones, killer pain au chocolate... and the line moves FAST but you can hang out in the window seats. My kids love it, too.

Comprised mostly of ground almonds, these sweet, chewy treats are irresistably delicious. One of the best cookies around for nut-lovin' sweet-tooths.

The most delicious, creamy lattes I've ever had. It's ruined me for coffee anywhere else. The chocolate biscotti and scones are also amazing! It's one of my very favourite places.

They have Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee. This stuff is nectar of the gods. The staff is really nice. Long opening hours. A place to buy good coffee rather than a hangout.

The coffee is very very good.

the kamikaze americano is smooth and rich - worth every minute of the 5 or so you'll spend waiting in line with the other converts to quality coffee.

these baby rugggies are delicious and adorable. 75 cents each or three for 1.50. buttery perfect with just the right amount of fruity jam and toasty nuts. these ones aren't baked in-house, but they are from Wanda's Pie in the Sky, local purveyor of fine baked goods.

the coffe is delicious and varied. each cup is made with love but without the yelling. the shop is tiny -seats 5. the home baked goodies are made in store, and when they're sold -that's it.
