This place has perhaps the best coffee in Toronto. From the outside, the cafe is completely nondescript and slightly hidden behind a pile of garbage (perhaps on Wednesday's only). However, I got wind of the place via a shop clerk down the street who told me (as one coffee snob to another) that Early Bird has the best coffee on Queen Street.
Regardless of its outside appearance, when you enter you are delivered into a land of people working on shiny Mac laptops, great coffee, great food, and bouncy friendly funny baristas. For me, Early Bird was a welcome reprieve after a long morning of walking and exploring Toronto.
As an added bonus, not only is their coffee fantastic, but half of their baked goods are gluten free. They also have homemade peanut butter cups that are to die for!
