After being forced to abandon Dark "Dog Food" Espresso I wondered over to this small neighborhood cafe on Dundas. Free internet that actually works, plugs available, soft music, friendly staff, healthy drinks (e.g. fresh fruit and vegetable juiced on premises...I got the apple, carrot, ginger, thing), and a nice view of AGO. The pastries look mass made and store bought so I'll avoid those. The hours are reasonable though not as late as I'd like. Not a gem, but a functional cafe downtown that provides all organic everything and a comfortable work or relaxation environment.
While here I observed some things that have degraded the rating a bit. The first is that a customer came in and stood at the counter for a while and neither of the girls working asked her if she wanted anything. The second is that meanwhile another girl came in and just straight out asked how much the cookies were and bought one. The first girl simply left shaking her head since she'd obviously been ignored. The second girl who bought the cookie immediately came back claiming the cookie was stale (probably just bad) and wanted to get something else. But the girls working wouldn't do it (they are obviously both recent immigrants from China and returning stuff is pretty unheard of in China so they have not acclimated to their environment/job well enough yet). This is certainly reason enough to avoid this place (as I'm sure both of these two potential customers will) though I had a good experience THIS time. Bad service + no responsibility for goods sold = bad establishment.
