| - My favourite coffee shop in the city!
If you like the strong and good stuff - check them out. And this is not just for coffee lovers - tea lovers get even MORE love as they feature, literally, an entire wall of teas.
Yes, there are MANY great java stops in Toronto. So why Golden Mint (GM)? Here's why...
ATMOSPHERE: Cosy, warm and inviting. Located on a busy strip of Yonge Street, it's a nice place to stop and rest your legs. There are large windows to for people-watching the busiest street in Toronto. :) It's a great alternative to the usual big chains.
SERVICE: Friendly staff always there to brighten your day. They work fast - especially efficient during morning rush hour.
PRICE: Very affordable! If you're a regular coffee drinker - there's no reason NOT to switch from those big franchises to GM!
FOOD: The serve coffees and teas (organic and fairtrade available in over a hundred different flavours! All are amazing hot or cold.), bagels (i LOVE their breakfast bagels because they use a panini press on them!), sandwiches, freshly squeezed juices, and smoothies.
But one of the best things? They serve a small variety (but fantastic) of SWEETS. They make dark organic chocolate! So with that they have candied fruit of all sorts, truffles, marshmallows, ginger and other lovely treats. Their window display is always tempting. I do love their affogato (ice cream served with espresso on top) - even though it's not served in a beautiful way like restaurants would - they give you a VERY generous helping of ice cream. And isn't that the point, after all? ;)
