| - R squared is located on Queen st, just west of the bathurst intersection. I checked it out on a weekday evening around 8pm. My first impression was 'this place is cool' with its high ceilings, modern-cozy wooden tables and white chairs. The music was happening.
I ordered a chai latte, which was really well made. Sweet and tasty, lots of foam. Their latte art is very good. At first I thought I was getting heart...then an apple...but my server continued on to create a butterfly! What talent!
I also had a biscotti, really good! One of the better biscotti's I've had, with a real texture and heartiness (much better than the ones at second cup).
I didnt try the wifi, but I am pretty sure its free!
So based on food and drink, I'd easily give this place a 4 start. Its one downfall was it was pretty noisy. Not ideal for studying, which I was trying to do. I managed to stay about 1/2 hour, but I couldn't concentrate after that. The conversations were at the level you would expect in a noisy bar.
But hey, it could of been just the one night there happened to be a noisier crowd in the cafe.
I would definitely return here, but lower my expectations in terms of studying potential. If you are looking for a cool place to have a non-alcoholic beverage and chill with friends, then this is a great spot!
