Advice: Try a coffee from their Siphon Bar.

Creative minds will be happy here at this smallish yet very cool café for those craving great coffee, you can’t go wrong when they serve great coffee from local roaster Origins. This is just the beginning of your Momento experience, you can order one of their espresso based beverages such as the Macchiato ($3) that I had made on their four-headed La Marzocco espresso machine or you can order a Pour-over coffee ($2.10) which is a freshly made cup unlike a regular drip. For something different order a coffee from their Siphon bar (also known as the vacuum pot) crafted by high-end glass producer Hariol. Siphon coffee is known as the clean cup, one that uses no paper filters, no direct heat and is made in a short brew time. The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly which is a boon to improving ones experience at a café.

Espresso Macchiato

I loved the large mural on the wall opposite the entrance which makes a profound statement, a visual expression of café life, and their signature. There is a selection of sandwiches, muffins, and baked goods to go along with one of your favourite beverages. Bring a book, write a book, or gather your thoughts, enjoy your Momento experience.
