This Dark Horse location is one of the few reasons I wish I was still an east-ender.
The staff here isn't holier than thou about their lattes, the communal table is usually filled with kind writers/new moms, both with spunky "we're all in this together" attitudes and there is a handy TTC stop right out front to whisk you downtown.
Big windows and ample seating with lots of lunch locations nearby earns this Dark Horse the gold metal in the race. Five stars.
PEPPER POINTS for impeccable wifi.
