Part of the celebrated Sprout family, Slowside takes its coffee seriously. As many patrons have noted, the focus here is on the beans themselves, making it an ideal destination for anyone eager to explore the rich, technical facets of coffee without the overshadowing sweetness of flavored syrups or excess milk.

Every cup is crafted to perfection, whether it's a pourover or espresso, inviting you to savor each sip as the flavors bloom on your palate. Pair your beverage with a delicious pastry – the potato and sourdough are local favorites, lovingly crafted and beautifully presented.

While some have experienced slower service during peak hours, many agree that the wait is often worth it when the food arrives. Jim Fong, despite waiting for his Montreal Smoked Beef sandwich, found that the depth of flavor and quality made it a delightful treat. This attention to detail and dedication to high-value offerings is evident throughout the menu.

Slowside is connected to Sprout. However, this is serious about coffee. The coffee is technical. If you like your coffee and want to try different tastes of the actual beans and NOT sugar flavored adds and loads of milk like products, this is it. It is about the coffee. Also the pastries are expensive but high value. Like buy one is all you need. Check the Mother's Day Vanilla Rose donut. Amazing. Recommended

Always been a fan of Sprout for coffee and baked goods so Slowside was an easy sell. Like the name says, if you're looking for a place to take some time for yourself or spend some time with good company, this is the place. High quality pour over coffee served in a way that entices you to enjoy it, paired with delicious and fresh bakes of the day. What's not to love? Add in the chill and relaxed vibes of the interior with sunny patio, plus the lovely baristas who love to talk coffee shop, it's a must stop for any coffee lover.

For the coffee nerds out there, this is an excellent multi-roaster shop. Great brands for sale and excellent brews. Pastries are very good too. Lots of people seemed to be here buying pastries and ignoring the speciality coffee, which is a shame.

Pour over coffee was great and the barista was knowledgeable and helpful. Cappuccino was average tasting. The egg and bacon breakfast was really good. They did not have any gluten-free options for sweets.

First time here and the line up was long and slow. 12:30pm on a weekday and there was only one cashier. Good thing I had an hour for lunch. Took about 25 mins from the lineup to getting my sandwich. When my Montreal Smoked Beef sandwich did arrive, it was good. Worth the wait? Probably if I had an hour or more for lunch.

Great selection of light roasted coffees, I had a pourover and espresso both brewed to perfection. Pastries, potato and sourdough were also tasty and well presented. Plenty of seating options including a patio, really nice atmosphere in the shop and super friendly staff.

Very cozy place, they have different sections suitable just for enjoying the morning coffee and working stations with power plugs for working. Fresh pastries and lots of fresh coffee options

I don’t know what speed I was expecting from “slowside”, but there is quite a difference in atmosphere here vs the adjacent Sprouts. Very chill, and calm, with a lot of fancy coffee machines and apparatuses. And an added bonus: Loved being able to order food from Sprouts with my slowside coffee.
