"This doesn't feel like Toronto." she excitedly whispered as we walked in the door. And truly it doesn't feel like Toronto, there is a hushed vibe as you walk in the door. No quirky lamps or pretentious decorations. Just a warm comfy place to drink a coffee and take a moment.
The shelves that line the walls are full of books, journals and water bottles, inviting you to take a look and think a little more about what you put in your body. The idea of earth/body consciousness also fills the barista menu, where there are several freshly squeezed juices and earth friendly brand choices.
As the last official stop on the coffee crawl this was a welcome addition, and as I was already quaking with caffeine I opted for a San Pellegrino. At $2.50 it wasn't cheap for the tiny bottle, but after buying a flat of them at Costco I realize they are not cheap in general. Several other Yelpers opted for the fresh juices; the likes of grapefruit, pear ginger, raspberry lemon iced tea, and orange I think. We then crowded around a communal table and enjoyed each others company. This was the only place that really fit our big group and they made us feel so welcome.
Bottom line...sweet and simple this shop is scrumptious, and I will definitely be back.
