The Green Beanery is one of the many coffee shops within a 5-6 block span of Bloor around Bathurst. So, what's special about Green Beanery?
Well, for one, this place have a great spot at the South East corner of Bloor and Bathurst. It's giant windows and plenty of stool seating make it a great spot for people watching. The ceilings are much higher in this coffee shop (compared to the others in the area) and creates an wide open feeling you don't get at any of the alternatives. Even with every seat filled, you don't feel cramped in here.
The other important thing to know about Green Beanery that in addition to being a coffee shop, it's a retail space for fair trade beans, coffee makers, espresso machines, and other related gear. In fact, the store itself is a smaller part of a non-profit organization that sells fair trade coffee products across Canada. Noble stuff.
