  • Thor is a little espresso bar that just opened up about a month ago right across from the dominos on bathurst. I found out about this place after having most of the people at the climbing gym say that the coffee was really good there, so I had to go give it a whirl. Upon entering, you'll notice that there isn't really very much space, I mean, there are maybe a total of 6 chairs and 4 stools. I guess they don't have a lot of chill space (pity). The decor is probably one of the coolest things there. Most of their furniture is made out of 2x6's glued together with wood glue. The highlight piece they have right over the bar is actually a painting of the god of thunder himself thor, wielding his mighty... espresso tamper. LOL amazing painting (check out the picture). One thing I really appreciate about this place is that they do latte art for their coffees. I got a macchiato (2 shots of espresso and a little bit of milk) and it came up with a nice leaf design on top. Being a barista at starbucks for a while, I had the opportunity to try making latte art on our downtime (I was pretty determined to learn how to do it on starbucks' dime). Trust me, it's a pretty refined art to do it consistently very well. It's a nice little touch to have with your coffee. The coffee tastes just about right. I've had people pull bad shots from machines and know what espresso does if you leave it too long (again... testing on starbucks' dime... ps i was an awesome employee or "partner"). They do have fresh pastries that they serve, but I didn't really have any and can't really comment. All in all, definately a nice place. The only thing I don't really like about it is the lack of space. I came in here with two other people and ended up sitting on the window sill. It was "padded" but it was quite cold on my backside. Last note... the name of their espresso machine is called the Slayer... How can you go wrong with that? I mean whoever came up with this machine knew what he was doing. "I'm going to make the most kick-ass machine out there, and then to top it all off I'm going to call it the Slayer". Oh, and it's only $18,000 dollars. Maybe that's why they don't have seating space... =/ BTW, here's a site of what the machine looks like. http://gizmodo.com/5451517/a-little-18000-espresso-machine-called-slayer
