Red Rocket. Red Rocket. Red Rocket.
(can you picture my head spinning or jack nicholson looking all crazed with teeth clenched?)
anyhow, thats nothing like what your experience would be like at Red Rocket Coffee. the Rocket sits across the street sporting its equally impressive parcel of real estate as the one that bestows the garages of the Toronto Transit Commission streetcars or you might say THE RED ROCKETS.
what makes their place most compelling on the outside is its enormous daintily covered patio. freshly made this year, this wooden patio has long posts that have a makeshift roof made from beams and swaths of fabric. you might feel like youve parked yourself in someones backyard (minus the grass).
when you enter youll find historical views of toronto as it was in yesteryear around this area. turn around and youll see a glass counter filled with delectable pastries and cookies. my fav is their shortbreads. whats great as well, is that should you feel a little peckish while you are nursing your creamy latte, you could absorb it all with one of their gourmet sandwiches like the chicken & green apple curry wrap or the chipotle black bean & roasted veggie wrap. dont fret if youre not a wrapper, as they have fresh bread for sandwiches as well.
the staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is pretty good too.
