| - Even though the Beaches is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in the city, I rarely make the trip over from the west end. So when I do come over, I enjoy trying a new spot every trip. This time, it was the Remarkable Bean.
Outside, there were numerous patrons talking, reading the paper and drinking their coffee on this lovely (finally) Spring day. I figured, man, if the locals are all here, it must be worth checking out. I really did enjoy the decor inside. It's very homey and comforting; I could see myself coming here in the winter to curl up and read.
Sadly, the coffee I had was very pedestrian to put it kindly. Heated water with a hint of coffee may have been a better description. Maybe it was just a bad pot, or not the right beans for me, but it was definitely poor. It's a rare day when I can say I would have rather stopped by a Tim Horton's, if that tells you anything.
I will give this place another shot when I'm in the neighbourhood and maybe try out some pastries next time. Perhaps that's where the secret good stuff lies?
