| - A relatively young coffee shop, Manic Coffee exploded with popularity due to both its location (Bathurst and College was an area that was pining for a coffee shop) and the fact that it had a Clover machine. Unfortunately, since then, Starbucks had bought Clover out, and now all Starbucks have or will have one of those machines.
However, I don't think that'll really matter to the clientele. Manic is a very endearing coffee shop, and it's that charm that brings people back. It's long and narrow in shape, and has a cozy feeling pushed through by the wooden furniture and exposed brick wall.
They are also known for occasionally stocking high end coffee beans. Recently, they had some of the famous Esmeralda Special beans. It's things like this that draws the coffee aficionados to this place.
Between locals and people looking for good coffee, Manic is always packed. It's up to you whether that's a good thing or not. Sometimes it's a big overwhelming that every chair has a body in it, and other times I can see it as a comfort. But if you get a seat, consider yourself lucky, because it's something that won't always happen.
