Returning to old stomping grounds in the up and coming Leslieville in the East end, I was on the search for an indie coffee shop to plug in and get inspired to write, get some work done, enjoy a good cup of brew and hopefully support a small local business in the process.
I rode by Any DIrect Flight, with a lovely vintage-y looking dress in the window and a cafe table for 2. I go in and realize its a boutique + cafe. The girl working tells me that the front of the store was turned into a cafe (5 tables including 1 large square communal table) in March 2012. Its super bright and sunny, right on Queen E so watching the street car and people walk by is lovely.
Free Wi-Fi, decent coffee and espresso drinks, and outlets for your laptop: freelancers out there, this is a great spot! Could also see it being the jam if they get some tables out front too.
