| - I'm gonna say it, though for regulars I'm sure this is no surprise - Jet Fuel has developed an attitude, and it has way too much ego and arrogance to be much fun.
The coffee is absolutely first rate, and I would heartily recommend you come here when you're with friends and want to chat while drinking fantastic espresso and such. If you're alone, however, you may find the atmosphere wanting - the music is super loud and it's difficult to concentrate, much less read anything. Any people watching you may want to do goes out the window because you can't even hear yourself think.
As for the attitude ... I've been coming here for 3 years now, and I've always been able to just walk up to the counter, ask for a coffee, and 3 minutes later, something was put in front of me that I enjoyed. Didn't even care what it was, or how much I paid, because the quality is just too good.
Now? I get a lecture about how I can't just ask for a 'coffee', it's a friggin' Americano. And I need to be taught how to order it. Yes, I know, Jet Fuel is a haven for coffee snobs - I'm not averse to the idea (proud beer snob here), and I didn't mind being sassed for this over the last 3 years (that's always fun, especially as a QC fan), but give me a damn break. You wanna sass me? Sure. Make fun of me after I've paid and walk away? Go ahead. But to give me a lecture about what an Americano is? Give me a break. And unfortunately, this has happened more than once.
I'm trying to move on ... but it's hard. Jet Fuel has probably the best coffee in Toronto. Maybe if they can just deflate their collective heads a little bit ...
