| - OK - first things first ... FREE COFFEE until this Saturday Nov. 6th! wooohoooo!!!! And I'm talking real, choice of beans, roasted to perfection choice served as esspresso, moch, latte, capp etc.
I was wandering down Spadina, and I'll admit the sign (pic enclosed) demanded I pop in to top up on my daily caffeine fix. I got chatting with one of the owners (Rob) who explained the origins of this cafe. These dudes have been in the good ol fashioned import the bean biz for years, supplying boutique hotels and specialty cafes/restaurants ... they found this ideal (standing room only, get your cafe and roll on) location on the west side of Spadina just north of King (that's away from the lake/LCBO for those of you who are geographically challenged), and voila ... the classic example of a quality 'vertical integration' into the retail coffee business by a trio of guys who know coffee.
Two thumbs up.
Great use of opening promo funds - free coffee - well done.
The barristas, one of whom was also an owner I believe, were very knowledgable about the choice of beans, their origins, tastes and all.
Go grab a cup o Joe already.
Cheers,
Rob
