Friendly service and a good solid roast makes this a good go to spot on the Ossington strip.
With the coffee scene on Ossington quite saturated it's hard to stand out, but Crafted managed to be warm and inviting, while keeping things interesting. Friends ordered lattes, iced coffees, and all sorts of drinks while I had the plain old Americano.
The crema on the Americano was the best that I have seen, with espresso notes that disappear normally when you add the water, but in this case the taste shines through. Pilot must know a thing or two about roasting. The barista was also highly skilled, managing our order of 8 without issue. When she made an extra Americano, she gladly gave it to a friend in our group!
We sat at the back room and watched the rain drizzle down outside in the back yard patio, and chilled for a good 45 mins at least. It's a comfortable spot that I would definitely come back to.
