The coffee crew over at Blondies have uprooted themselves and moved down the street to a new local and have adopted a new name as well: Capital Espresso. Pretty much everything I said about Blondies rings true here for great tasting coffee. I do like their espresso, I believe it from Origins Organic Coffee in Vancouver. As for regular brews...Hey I see some bags of Social behind the counter. The baristas are coffee geeks and pull great shots so expect high quality all the time.
As for the new digs, I like the space. Much more open. Reminds me of Crema in the Junction. Though I did like the cozy dark woody tones of the former Blondies as well. This place though should light up in the summer, even if the view to outside is Parkdale. Should be a nice place to meet n hang for the locals.
What else, what else...I assume their baked treats are from the same supplier. The choco-banana muffins are to die for. Most treats are gone by 11:30 am.
I recommend, one of if not the place for coffee in Parkdale.
