A quiet coffee shop on the North East corner of Bay and Gerrard hidden in shaded area of an office building.
The coffee itself was okay (I had a regular cup of joe) and the almond croissant was alright. I would say I was paying more for the quiet space and atmosphere. Not that I was paying much - the items were $1.60 and $2.45 respectively.
But mostly I'd say that the owner basically makes the place what it is. I was here around 5pm and it was quite empty with the exception of a two individual students. Two regulars came in and the friendly owner knew them by name. He was quick with their orders but there was no sense of being rushed. Definitely one of the nicest coffee shop owners I've ever met.
I'd come here again to study, and maybe try the gelato or cappuccino next time.
