  There's a Starbucks across the street but the decor and atmosphere in this place was really welcoming. The staff/owner here are very friendly and are passionate about their work and it's easy to tell that they care about this cafe.
  The sandwiches to be honest at first were a bit too bland for me but the simplicity and freshness of the bread and ingredients won me over in the end. My favourite is the classic Italian I just found it more flavourful than the turkey one I tried.
  The drinks seem to come in one size but was perfect for me bc it warned me up and is helping with that much needed caffeine boost.
  The space looks like it would be easy to be productive in as the music isn't overpowering and there's a big window that lets in the sun. There's also wifi!
  Overall I would totally recommend giving Gloria a try because there's this charm that just can't be replicated and you'll have to go to experience it.

  What the hell have I been doing going to the Starbucks on this block every weekend? Gloria Espresso Bar & Café is so special!
  
  In a strange turn of events, that is my life, I am an accidental Dance Mom. My three year old is obsessed with her ballet class at Charb Arts and during the hour where she prances around gleefully in pink every Sunday, my husband and I sneak off for some coffee and a snack. It's a weird mini-date that we've really come to enjoy, especially since finding Gloria!
  
  Their pastries and sandwiches are incredible, their tea lattes are my face, and all in all, I heart this place.

  There is nothing I do not like about this place--maybe besides the fact I wish it was in the Junction
  
  I decided to take a walk on Roncy and stopped into Gloria, I forgot how great the coffee is and the ambiance is here.  The first time I was here it was a few months after Bryan and opened shop and he was nervous on the success of his business--couple years later and his shop is busy busy busy!
  
  I returned this time ordering a cortado to go but instead sat down on the wooden chairs to the side to chat away and take some photos.  Every seat was filled soon after.
  
  The cortado was lovely, a smaller cup to fit the less milk and it was perfectly made.  Ended up finishing the cup there, the ambiance was just too "please sit and enjoy the coffee"
  
  Bryan was very friendly and made an effort to speak to every patrons that come in personally.  Even with a line up he tries to make each experience personal
  
  There are food available from pastries to sandwiches but I did not try.  The interior has a certain charm where wooden floors, white wall and a large mirror were the main point the eyes saw; A mixture of modern and old.  Love the homage to his grandparents on one wall where a black and white 35mm photo was taken and blown up onto one wall, seems like a fun year "'63" was captioned above...

  The most significant of part of his character is his insignificance.
  
  Gloria here we come to savour the scrumptious sandwiches and great coffee prepared by Erin, one of the best looking baristas in town !

  This place has a lovely vintage vibe while still being airy. Their coffee is good but I would have loved it to be a little stronger. I didn't eat anything but my friend said their homemade scones are amazing. I found it easy to work here, quiet and good backround music but was disappointed the Wi-Fi wasn't working.
