This is a lovely and massive loft space hidden just north of Queen & Broadview. Come here to get work done in peace, away from the crowds logjamming Dark Horse East. The hardwood floors are gorgeous and there are plenty of places to sit - sofas, chairs, work tables and a fireplace area. The rotating artwork is charming, and there is a library that you can borrow (for the duration of your stay) books from. It's made up of books from the owners' personal collection and I have to say, I copied down more than one title for future purchase at a used bookstore - "Utopia" by Alana Wilcox, about Toronto itself, and they even had a copy of Tom Robbins' latest novel, "B Is For Beer"!
They host two hour coffee workshops here as well as cuppings (full schedule: http://www.merchantsofgreencoffee.com/5_News_and_Community/events.html) and I imagine this would be a great date or small group activity. Note the early hours and not being open on Sundays.
The only negative (which may or may not be enough to keep you from coming here) is that the staff is noticeably unfriendly. Not rude or incompetent by any means, just unwelcoming - transactions are all business and I have never witnessed any social niceties. This doesn't bother me as I've come here mostly to get work done, but I suspect no one has ever felt like the staff was happy to see them or recognized them from visit to visit.
