L	Lynette V. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s the place that started it all for me; my love for cool coffee shops. Visited here for the first time back in 2013, and been back a couple times since then (it’s a bit out of the way for me). The architecture is cool, the lattes always excellent, and the upstairs seating area is gorgeous.
C	Catherine F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food and drinks were great. The ambiance in the seating area was really gentle, clean and relaxing. There is the option of getting drinks in a porcelain cup if you plan to sit inside rather than a paper to go cup, which added to the atmosphere. It is definitely a great place to stop by. I do want to make note that of my experience on Tuesday February 22, 2022 at around 3:04PM. I visited with my partner, proceeded to order drinks and bakery items for the both of us and the worker that took the order was immediately and continuously condescending. They first began to state that this was not a Starbucks after I wanted to order a cappuccino for my partner. While they may perhaps wanted to educate me on the difference, the fact that that was their immediate reaction and used a condescending tone, was very unwelcoming. I followed by ordering a drink for myself, and pastry items for my partner and I. Upon including a second bakery item in my order, the employee taking my order repeated it back to me while sounding absolutely appalled that I wanted two bakery items. Perhaps they did not realize I was ordering for two people, but regardless of that it would be none of their business to judge how much food I would have wanted to consume for myself.
R	Ryanne Florence on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love their coffee and I always get a bag of the winter roast for my dad for Christmas ☺️ love the vibe within the cafe all year round but feels especially cozy during the holiday season ? turmeric latte is a cool, novel drink I had not previously experienced before Balzacs
K	Kevin Ang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best place in Distillery District to get a cuppa. An established chain of coffee shops that also serves food and has merch.
C	Chandra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had coffee, tea and cookies. Liked each one while enjoying the charm of 1895 building. Being a week day, it was relatively less crowded..
A	Alan Falukozi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I always enjoy all of the Balzac locations. They are set up with a great atmosphere and this location is no different. Whether you sit inside the historical building or outside and enjoy the sun, it's a great place to enjoy a coffee. I got a cortado and it was alright. I find the Balzac coffee to be slightly darker of a roast than I like for espresso and so it tasted quite bitter and over extracted. Not bad but nothing worth getting excited over either. Overall worth coming to sit and enjoy the atmosphere and have a nicer conversation.
M	Mike Kushnir on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is an unusual and somewhat famous coffee shop. The atmosphere is quite nice, the 2nd level seating area is rustic and cosy, however the coffee itself is quite generic and definitely overrated. Overall come for the ambiance not for the java and you'll be quite happy.
M	M Sorkhabi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The exposed brick and high ceiling is the main reason I come here often. Oh, and it’s the only coffee shop in the area with extended hours, not to mention the staff is friendly and the place is very spacious for a downtown location. The coffee is OK. It’s a great place to chill, hangout, read, or just take a coffee break.
