Cute little rustic coffee place on carlton. Super close to the downtown core and work so I'm definitely a fan whenever I pass by. It's easy to find, pretty much across the cinema and toronto hydro.
The guys are super friendly when you walk in, greeting you with a smile. They're just super warm, which is definitely needed in an independent coffee shop. They have minimal seating but I can always find one during the day, and it's pretty comfy too. They have bar seats, a couch and a corner table that fits two. Perfect for your instagrammer friends that want to get the perfect aesthetic.
They use pilot coffee, which is a plus. Their prices are kind of steep in comparison to other coffee shops nearby but it's worth a try. I had a small iced latte made with coconut milk & it came out to over $5, for a small cup. It didn't taste any different in particular to the starbucks' iced latte but not saying it tasted bad either. It was just okay. They charge extra for different milks, which I expected.. but they do have coconut, soy and almond! They also offer coffee and ice cream together.. floats :o which is interesting.
This is definitely a perfect spot for an intimate date with a partner/friend, or business meeting. I'd go back if I pass it.
