Make no mistake, however: the coffee part of the business is not neglected. With a high-end Synesso machine, a selection of gourmet-roast beans from 49th Parallel (Vancouver), and very competent baristas (the cafe’s owner can often be seen pulling shots himself), Veritas has for years enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as an institution of high-quality coffee in the city.
The café is located in the Old Port district, which is very convenient for tourists and conventioneers. Lunch (noon-2pm) can be (and usually is) very hectic, but otherwise the café always has free tables.
