Two If By Sea - Dartmouth

Was in today and the service was great! The place was packed but they always had someone ready to take the next order. Had to wait a little bit as they were changing/cleaning something in the machine but they brought my drink over to me rather than do the Starbucks yell lol. They apologized for the wait, which wasn't even long AND those vegan ginger cookies are under rated!! SOO good, highly recommend :

I enjoyed the whole experience... chai latte extra hot ... got it and brought to my table 'Just Peachy ' croissant cut in half please ... got it , not squashed perfectly cut. Staff collected our plates and cups , took them to the bus tray while we chatted and asked if we enjoyed our food. They were gracious and polite . It was a wonderful place to spend an hour on a rainy day. I will drop in any time I 'm in that area.

The croissants are so amazing that I had a half eaten chocolate one stolen out of my purse. Someone looked in my purse, didn't take my wallet, but they instead took the croissant (or it could have been a bird). Definitely coming back to replace my stolen croissant.

This cafe is awesome.. they have very smooth tasting coffee.. had a cappuccino and with a little sugar it was delightful.. They serve Montreal style bagels, fresh cinnamon rolls, fresh gigantic croissants, scones etc.. I highly recommend this cafe if you care about quality!!!

I think TIBS is a great place to get a coffee or meet a friend. As for those who complained about music and service here... Wow people... first world problems...lol. Everyone likes things differently and it's impossible for a small business to please everyone. Music too loud? Don't eat in! Staff grumpy? Don't take it personal as they work hard and push service constantly all day. They are just super busy all the time. Their coffee is top notch, and for people who don't think so, I just don't know if they can tell the difference between quality coffee or an average joe. Anchored coffee is my benchmark for quality coffee. PERIOD. Maybe people are so used to milk or cream and sugar that you don't know how good coffee is supposed to taste. Too used to your double doubles from Timmies. You keep going strong T.I.B.S. I'll be a customer for years to come.
