Ever since Parkdale was taken over by a slew of hipster cafes, which employ latte-sipping tree-hugging tattooed folks wearing toques in summer and with a never-ending penchant for proper coffee, this place quickly became one of my favourites.
Living ten minutes, more or less, away from here only encouraged me to walk over in my pajamas and cast one dreadfully drowsy look at the barista who without waiting for any further instructions gave me a quick shot of espresso. Their coffee is quite good and if you come early in the morning you'll get a treat of fresh baked goods. yum!
I don't frequent this cafe anymore since my place and routine has changed and for some reason I am unable to work in a high-traffic high-noise cafe anymore. Nevertheless I have nothing but good things to say about them as I just did in the paragraph above.
