I stumbled into the Leslieville area and wanted to get my daily dose of caffeine. I have to say I love the colour purple and when I found a cafe called Purple Penguin....Of course I had to check it out and plus reviews were great!!
Purple Penguin Cafe is located at an intersection and nicely situated at the corner. There is a Starbucks right across the street but when there's such a cute cafe ...you gotta try something new! The cafe itself is small but cozy and comfortable. I don't have to say but the purple added a positive touch for me. There is a number of yummy treats and various brewed coffee types to choose from. This would be a great place for a coffee date, a hangout spot or studying. The atmosphere is nice and casual and the staff is friendly.
I got a flat white and the espresso was bold yet not overwhelming. I enjoyed it quite a bit and will be back to try their food items and other caffeine options.
Give it a try:)
