Ideal Starbucks if you work or live in Bloor West and are frequently around during the weekday. Between 10-3 it is pretty empty and you can set up shop with minimal disruption from other people.
Around 3pm local youths show up and ruin it.
The staff here are great when the manager is around, but without him, they tend to be lazy. I've waited 5-10 minutes before someone showed up to take my drink order.
Until a replacement for Cafe Novo opens, this is really the only neighbourhood option, given how difficult Red Bean Espresso can be.
