| - This place... oh man, I can't even begin to compose a proper structure for this review, so I guess I'll just go with point form for now.
I tried two things on two different occasions from this uncomfortably large and underused space, both of which left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
- The drip coffee tasted like it came out of a carafe that hadn't been cleaned in a century. The coffee itself had a lot of really unpleasant chemically undertones (fair trade and organic, eh? I'm questioning that pretty hard right about now,) and gave me a huge headache after something like three sips.
- Now onto the Espresso. Completely flavorless, lack of depth, and the presentation was completely tacky. I seriously went home and fell asleep after. Those outcomes are exactly what you do not want when searching for good espresso.
Toronto has some awesome coffee places, most of which can half-assedly pull off pretty passable espresso, but Ground Level is certainly not one of them. If bad coffee is a total deal breaker for you then this is definitely not a place for people who frequent the likes of... well.. anywhere else really.
The barista was really nice, but in kind of a creepy/off putting type of way. Maybe that's just me.
House music: the radio..... ugggggggggg, really? like..... really? Do I even have to explain myself for thinking that this is a complete no no?
They have sandwiches and whatever too, but I was kind of apprehensive about ordering anything else on account of the throw-away dishes... Something about carbon footprint blahblah.
only bonus: free wifi.
