| - The layout of this one is odd.
The large counter extended from the long side of the space, leaving only a narrow area for tables.
I expected more couch type chairs in here for some reason, so that I can read my book for the next half hour - instead I was sitting at the bar stools trying to understand this place.
Despite being super narrow, they have to also put a display of coffee in the middle of the walking area, creating an even tighter space.
Also annoying is that all the coffee fixings like lids, sugar, cream is off to the back end of the space, forcing you to squeeze yourself beside all the folks waiting for their drink, people trying to get work done at the tiny tables, and the stupid coffee display.
The worst part is that, this area isn't even close to the exit. All they need to do is move it to the other end, where there isn't a crowd waiting for their drinks and make it convenient for everyone.
Even better, is if they took their entire counter space and try to fit it along the far wall - leaving the rest of the open space for people to sit.
I mean, I understand they don't want people loitering around here for too long, but you do need to make your customers comfortable for the next 20-30mins they are in the store.
Come here only to grab your drink and go. For a longer stay, follow @Brian K's advice and go to the one at Bay and south of College. Even better, there is a Second Cup one block north on Yonge. Next time I'm going there.
