illy Caffè

Pastries are the best here. Scones especially. Coffee product isn't always great. They could really focus on how to properly steam milk, pull shot of espresso, pour a latte, and upgrade equipment. Beautiful shop build. Seating area is open. And the staff is friendly. Which is a pleasant surprise compared to how it's been in the past.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the shops in the McNamara terminal and airport (in general) were closed. Options were limited.

This coffee shop was one that I had not heard of before, and I really had no coffee substitutes to choose from. However, in a way, I am glad that I came here and tried their iced coffee.

When I go to a coffee shop, I usually order some sort of iced coffee. I do not like it to be on the overly sweet side where I am essentially drinking a cup of liquid sugar. I like the coffee to be strong and rich, and I like it to have a couple splashes of the sweet flavor. That was exactly what I received! The flavor I had with my iced coffee was caramel. The barista put in a very little amount that was perfect for complimenting the coffee's taste.
