Solid coffee joint for any discerning coffee snob. I met Felix (one of the partners) at de Mello Palheta and we immediately hit it off after I had asked what beans they were using for their espresso based drinks, to which he replied "we roast our own". Instant coffee badass and credibility points right there (of course I confirmed by going to the back to check out their micro roaster).
They've got a brew bar where they serve coffee with different methods outside of pulling espresso shots from their gorgeous Synesso Cynca 3 group machine, some of which include Siphon, cold drip, and my favourite, Aeropress!
Admittedly, my palate isn't as developed as a coffee shop owner or roaster for that matter, but they are the real deal and I would go to de Mello Palheta for their coffee if I'm ever in the Yonge / Eglinton area from here on.
They're a bit cocky when it comes to their coffee, have a chip on their shoulders with something to prove to the indie coffee scene in Toronto. I think that's a good thing.
