About this place
At Encore! Coffee Roastery, choosing the beans is part of the pleasure. The menu includes the coffee of the day, available in lighter or darker roasts, as well as single-origin coffees from Brazil, Guatemala, Indonesia, Ethiopia and elsewhere. One visitor chose a filter coffee made with Colombia’s La Esperanza Tres Dragon beans and says the barista explained their flavour notes. Another selected a dark roast for an iced latte and a similarly robust coffee for a hot macchiato. Whether you want to explore the character of the beans or enjoy a coffee-forward drink with milk, there are different ways to find your cup.
Honey butter toast is a natural partner for coffee. The menu describes it as gently sweet honey paired with the aroma and richness of unsalted butter; you can choose whether to add black pepper. One diner enjoyed it with filter coffee and was taken with its light, fluffy texture. Another ordered butter toast with a cinnamon mocha latte, pairing the simple toast with a sweeter drink.
For something more substantial, try the fluffy thick-cut egg sandwich, with its buttery aroma. There are also plates of butter toast or cheese toast served with eggslut and honey-glazed carrot râpé, making them options for breakfast or brunch. In the mood for something sparkling? Cascara soda is made with the fruit of the coffee cherry, while the Sunset Soda combines apple juice, blood orange and lemon.
Sweet options include affogato, with espresso and coarsely ground coffee over ice cream, as well as cake made with Japanese lemons and pound cake that can be served with vanilla ice cream. Whether you’re taking time to choose your coffee or making a light meal of toast or a sandwich, this café lets you build your order around the drink you fancy.
