Nespresso Boutique
Nespresso Boutique is more like a “coffee showroom,” but that’s part of the fun.

It’s shiny, futuristic, and the service makes the experience feel polished. This is coffee as retail therapy, and it actually works.

A-OK Café
A-OK Café inside Holt Renfrew is equal parts chic and casual. The lattes are elegant, the pastries go beyond basic, and the space makes “taking a break” feel like part of the shopping experience. It’s refined without being stiff, and the staff make it approachable. A-OK is your best excuse to grab coffee, then “accidentally” browse designer shoes.
