Who doesn't love The Common? Everybody loves The Common. It's one of those mid sized quaint cafe's that draws both coffee loving hipsters, students and baby toting moms alike. Located in an otherwise dry zone at around College and Dufferin, it is perhaps the best place to get coffee in this particular area.
Atmosphere is comfy, simple and warm. Alt rock plays on the radio (at least last I was there). I like that the lone staff member who was pullin' shots had the time to be friendly and offer suggestions to me despite holding down the fort solo. All coffee drinks are espresso based and decent. Bonus points that they offer organic milk and creme for your coffee. They also have some fancy-shmancy, probably organic tea on offer, I can't remember the name of it offhand. A small amount of snackables also on offer to company your beverage. Prices all in all are reasonable.
Need some respite after shopping up at the Dufferin Mall? Head to The Common for some yummy coffee.
