| - Sense Appeal does a cracking good job at serving up damned good espresso-based drinks. I've tried hot & iced lattes and each have been delicious; there's also this killer choc-mint iced latte drink which is insanely delicious! Soy and almond milk are available, and it's nice to have the options! Many of their espresso-based drinks have choices between a few types of beans, which is awesome. I believe there are also french presses available (although it is marked "seasonal"), as well as tea and a few other refreshing non-coffee beverages.
There's light snacks (pastries, mostly) and sandwiches available, but nothing that I can partake of, being vegan. But i'm honestly not in the market for food when making a stop at Sense Appeal - it's all about the delicious, delicious coffee.
I love the look of the main part of the cafe - wooden counters and benches, and sacks of in-house roasted coffee stacked about the place. I think this might also be the only indie coffee shop in Toronto i've been to that means SO MUCH business that they have two espresso machines on the go. That is off the chain, my friends.
You have to head out of the main part of the cafe to find the little bit of seating which is sort of tucked into the building's entryway & a little more up the stairs near the elevators. It sounds odd and awkward, and you'll really only understand when you're standing there looking at it.
Overall the sense I get is AMAAAZING, and I just wish this place was closer to me so I could have this great espresso on tap. Minus a star really only because of the weird seating setup and the lack of vegan treats (at least the times i've been there, there's not been anything obvious!). More like only half a star though. Ugh, Sense Appeal! You're so great!
