| - beautiful space for studying, enjoying a drink, or chatting.
as everyone else has said, the decor hits the nail on the head for what's popular with cafes at the moment. a brick wall painted an insouciant white; wooden tables, chairs, and menu; shelving constructed with polished metal piping; succulents and various other greenery in clay pottery; exposed hanging lightbulbs; a small helping of neon signage; baristas with undercuts, caps, and relaxed demeanors; hip chillwave electro funk nu disco tropical house amalgamation background music.
the environment could not be better.
some small details that really set this cafe apart:
- notable edibles for sale from other popular toronto locations: coffee from pilot roasters, mast brother chocolates, and jam from kitten and the bear
- donuts from glory hole donuts on fridays (and maybe other weekend days?)
- beautiful publications for browsing and buying: kinfolk, drift (the only stockist in toronto!), trouvé, and others
oh, and about their main attractions: yes, there is wifi; and, yes, the coffee here is great. want my advice? their cortado is my mainstay.
it can get kind of busy but I've never been unable to find a seat. the only note I would make is that they really get mileage out of their air conditioning! it can get a little chilly after sitting here for a while. bring a sweater, despite how silly that may sound.
definitely my favourite place to hang out during my downtime. doesn't hurt that it's right next to loblaws--come spend a few hours here, and do a little light grocery shopping on the way home!
