| - The fact that I am now 4 weeks sober (of coffee that is) hurts my heart. Especially knowing that one of the best independent coffee shops in the GTA is serving it up and I cannot partake.
I like to frequent this spot weekdays when I need a place close to home to get some work done. It likely has the best location in all of Richmond Hill, proudly situated within the old Richmond hill school house at Yonge and Wright street. I'm also surprised that given this prime location it isn't busier, folks if you're looking for a great cuppa-joe I highly recommend you stop in here for some (they roast their own beans just 20 minutes away in Newmarket).
Everything about their menu is fresh, gourmet and fantastic. It's all freshly made to order and done with care. While the Smoked cheddar and bacon grilled cheese is wonderful and a comfort food fave, I'm especially a fan of their vegan quinoa, and their made to order crepes. Although more difficult to make I encourage you to order the Gatsby with egg and ham inside. In addition to their fresh lunch fare they also have backed in house goodies like muffins, scones and gluten free options!
I'm awarding Covernotes 3.5 stars (rounded up) on account of the fact that after nearly a year of promises they still have not offered their own WiFi and request that guest piggyback off the nearby Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts signal, which is patchy at the best of times. Also, if you're looking for plugs, good luck that situation is extremely limited.
Final note, if you're looking for used books, Covernotes derives its clever name from the fact that they offer thousands of second hand books for sale throughout their store. You actually never know what you will find here!
