Yo & Co Espresso Bar

The employees are always so nice and welcoming. I love the atmosphere and vibes - the front area gets a lot of natural light and is furnished with pink chairs and artsy decor. There’s a back room for socializing but the highlight, to me, has to be the front. The chai latte and iced coffee are both solid options and taste good.

Wow, what a chill place! The staff was super accommodating and friendly. Made me a dirty chai with vanilla and it was boss AF. Prices are reasonable with decent portions. Definitely coming back!

This cafe feels like a warm, lingering hug from an old friend. You will be greeted with smiles as comforting as a patchwork quilt, radiating warmth like an August sun. Each cup is a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that dances on your tongue, crafted by people who pour their passion into every espresso shot. In this cozy corner of the world, time slows down, where people matter more than anything else, and every visit leaves you a little warmer, a little more connected to the community. This place isn't just about great coffee and people, it's also about the joy of finding where you belong.

Love this charming little coffee shop! I highly recommend the lattes and the matchas. In the summer time they also have a small terrace in the front which is nice if you want to sit down and chat with friends over coffee.

Cute cozy nook with artisan-quality coffees. Baristas are really talented, even with vegan milks, and the coffee blends change regularly (daily?). Third wave, but not pretentious. Note—they did not have any vegan pastry options when I visited, as mentioned in other reviews. Delicious !

Very good coffee for the morning. Good place to go with friends or a date.

I have a unique perspective on Yo & Co Espresso Bar, having been both a loyal customer and then a barista. Although I no longer work there, I continue to visit and support this spot. As a patron, my favorites are their Hot or Iced Oat Maple Lattes and their Oat Cortados, made just as delightful with “regular” milk by Henrietta, a local supplier. The staff are always welcoming and attentive, making each visit enjoyable. They’re not just friendly but also knowledgeable, always ready to share astuces cafes/coffee tips with interested patrons. During my time as a barista, I experienced firsthand the support and respect from both the team and owner, Yorick, indicative of the cafe’s positive work environment & attention to local connection/community. The cafe’s high-quality coffee offerings include choices from local roasters such as Canal Roasters, Escape, Za & Klo, Jungle & Structure. Beyond enjoying a good cuppa in-store, customers can purchase these local roasters’ coffee beans and brewing equipment for home use. The delectable pastries are from local bakers and include classics such as croissants, muffins, and apple turnovers to die for from “Avec Le Temps,” as well as decadent vegan square cakes by Paradise and occasional treats from Arhoma, including delicious brownies and my fave: their pistachio croissants. And don’t miss the homemade goodies baked by Yorick’s mom, also available at the cafe. Yo & Co also features a boutique section with a variety of locally made products ranging from dry flowers to candles, artisanal soaps, fine groceries, wine, beer, Boreal chocolates, and much more! Yo & Co Espresso Bar stands out as a strong supporter of local businesses, offering high-quality coffee, pastries, and more. It remains a preferred destination for many, including myself, and a commendable workplace for aspiring baristas.
