Stop #3 on the Natey/Gory espresso run west-end edition.
That half slice of toast I had before starting this run is starting to catch up to me. Nathan assures me they have some amazing scones at Lit. So we head over.
Lit is absolutely gorgeous inside. Tin ceilings and espresso brown tones and plank wood shelves give it a Wallpaper-Rustic feel. I actually found the lady at the cash quite nice. I just told them to make it as short as they can. She asked me if I was sure because it gets pretty short but I just said "I'll be OK, thanks." Pick up a maple and oat scone which is divine and huge.
Shot arrives and it's beautiful. Nice dark swirly textures and deep hues. It takes me 2 sips to finish. Extreme flavor and, according to my voice mail, earthy musky tones. That might be because I am literally sucking on the beans at this point. My fault for not going with just a double. Great shot, though.
Washrooms are the nicest I've come across anywhere. Ocean blue glass cubes and tin ceilings. Extremely clean for such a busy place. High five!
Caffeine Level: my scalp is itchy. Uh-oh, uncharted territory here. I pitch my script, "Dude, you Deleted Google!" to Nathan for the next 30 minutes. I am somehow convinced I can turn it into a Charlie Kaufmann masterpiece if I just try hard enough. This is my Dr Drew moment.
Thankfully, we get a 40 minute respite as the next stop is Harbord and Christie.
