I absolutely love Early Bird. It's a pretty hipster place, but not in the pretentious sense.
It's coffee is my #1 in Toronto (to date) and the atmosphere is very laid back.
Their food is delicious - the vegan cookies are perfect with coffee. The egg/avocado sandwich is filling as a meal and chia seed pudding is so tasty (and healthy!).
I always come here to do some light reading/studying or to catch up with a friend. I wouldn't come here with a big group though.
