This is a gem on the west side of the city.
On a saturday afternoon, Fantail is not overcrowded and noisy (unlike many many coffee shops in the city on a weekend). Their bakery selection is extremely tempting- with offerings like carrot cake, their best selling muffin to an epic looking brioche bun that looks like it exploded out of a muffin tin.
Unfortunately since I had already had a large lunch at La Cubana, I only ordered a cappuccino with almond milk. The service was extremely friendly and on paying they have a little game where if you roll the die at the cashier and get double 6's the coffee is free of charge! (you can all guess what happened on my throw)
Fantail truly embodies what I love about cafe and coffee culture ; good coffee and excellent baked goods in an atmosphere where you can truly relax away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of the city.
