The maple creame soft serve ice cream is wonderful, the hot chocolate is wonderful and the coffee is great.

Good: all the sweets made with maple syrup by the owner! YUM!!!!
Bad: Espresso. Like really bad. After seeing bags of beans on shelves from various roasters - several single origin - I asked what beans were used for espresso. I was told basically they didn't know - just something provided by subscription as part of their espresso/coffee machine; didn't bode well. The espresso I got was a very dark (traditional) roast, which I suppose would be fine if there were no alternatives. But the volume of espresso was bizarrely large - on the order of 60 - 80g, which made it the largest volume of espresso I have ever been served. The result was very watery - almost like just a tiny cup of coffee.
My advice to the owner would be to first have someone properly tune your espresso maker. You should be using 18-20g of grinds - and I suspect the existing grind is too coarse so the espresso us under-extracted. Also target output of 36-40g of espresso. Second step is to switch away from whatever beans are used and try one of the specialty beans you carry by the bag. This would bring the coffee experience up to the high level of the maple syrup, sweets, and gifts in the shop.

Great little gift shop but the coffee was lack luster, weak and lukewarm. Bought a cute mug and they sell lots of local products. The waffles looked good - but I was there just for a cappuccino and to shop.
