| - I dropped by this afternoon to do some reading. Red Rocket Coffee and Dark Horse were both really packed with no seating, so I ended up here where there were plenty o'tables.
It's a funny name for a cafe, apparently it's short for "Time For Coffee".
This place has a real community-vibe, with what seemed like a lot of regulars, people stopping by while walking their dogs, and old men discussing local politics. They are also hosting some kind of Halloween shindig and have a busy bulletin board with notices of community events and organizations. It's more of a social place, but I wasn't the only one doing work. There is free wifi. If you'd rather read the paper, they get the NYTimes here, as well as Canadian papers.
Contrary to experiences other people have had, I found the staff to be pleasant and easy-going. Even when a homeless man came in later to use the washroom, the staff were respectful and didn't act like jerks.
I had a London Fog ($4) and it came in a HUGE mug. They use Stash Teas and milk from a local farm. With a little bit of honey, it was the perfect thing on a cold, rainy day. The cookies (or F'Cookies) looked fat and yummy, but I didn't indulge this time.
Too bad they aren't part of the Indie Coffee Passport again this year. Oh well.
I agree that the hours are kinda lame.
