A great stop in Cabbagetown.
This teeny coffee shop is run by an adorable couple who appear to be the only staff.
It's a great spot to stop for a coffee on your way to work. The beans are rotated among a number of independent North American roasters and the owners can always tell you lots about them.
And every day there are fresh made incredible pastries baked right behind the counter. When you walk in you can usually see something being prepared.
Seating just for 4 or so at stools against the window, so it isn't a camp out and write a novel cafe. Just a pop in, say hi, get some excellent espresso and phenomenal pastries and go on your way, kind of place.
