| - This is a relatively new place that is on the corner of Spadina & King. It's a huge space for a coffeeshop, and beautiful to boot. Clean, minimalistic lines, with lots of white, metal, and brick, and a lot of natural sunlight. There are a few terrariums and succulents for that hipster look.
The ordering and making of coffee are done at separate counters, so it eases up the congestion of people, which is great, Go to one counter first to order your drink and grab baked goods (they have a delicious-looking assortment of homemade pop tarts, croissants, scones, and other things), and a varied menu of coffee drinks. Lattes, cold brews, etc. and they have almond milk if you want to add it for $0.75.
The coffee tastes great and the latte was not skimpy in size. They have nice mugs and plates if you drink it there - perfect for those social media photo ops.
The space is also really pretty with exposed brick, high ceilings, and lots of sunlight. The WiFi only works in the brick space with tables and chairs (not if you hang out by the counter where you order against the walls), so plan accordingly. Most people look like they're there for a while with laptops, etc., so you may have to share a table or wait for a while until someone moves. The whole middle of the space does not have any tables which may be a little bit of wasted space, but it also keeps the area looking nice, and doesn't have everyone scrunched up on tables next to each other. If you want that kind of feel, just to go Starbucks or a library.
No password for the WiFi which is great (and it actually works, and is fast), good coffee, good-looking pastries (didn't try any), and a beautiful space that you'll enjoy spending time in. I'd come back here again if I'm in the area.
