| - They really do make me smell. I can't shake it. After the grilled panini, in the heat, I had two coffees, a caesar salad, a slice of pizza, a beer, a coca cola, some meatballs, and I still smelled the panini. I didn't change clothes, and I did hard labour that day. I still smelled like panini. Granted, I didn't have my trusty Listerine on my person, but when you order a sandwich you really don't think about having a bottle of Listerine on you do you?
Also, it's $8 for said sandwich. That's a steep bill. Apparently everything is local. That's good news, but when you compare that $8 sandwich versus Vinny's veal around the block and Amore Foods around the other block... it doesn't stack up.
Now... having said all of this, I love this place. And I've been coming here for the past few months in the warmer months and I love the patio. I couldn't find a quaint neighborhood place like this in San Francisco. The fact it's on a side street surrounded by residential is an example of why I love Toronto, and I reference this place. The patio is perfect. There are outlets hidden by the trees. There's plenty of seating. There iced coffee is better than the warm coffee. I wouldn't go out of my way for the coffee but I would for the patio. But watch out for that panini waft coat in the cold months inside or whenever you eat it.
