| - This is the original shop of this two-store chain. Unlike it's Parkdale sister, there is a good home-made food selection. Another off-beat kind of place, near 5th Street and Lake Shore Blvd in Toronto's west-end. The place is comfy, with an eclectic mix of furniture in the main sitting area, great for relaxing with a book, or talking to a friend in a relaxed atmosphere. Their drip coffee is excellent, and their Amercano ain't bad. Don't expect barista-style perfection on other coffee products, but I go here for the drip coffee when I'm this far from the beaten path.
Food is homemade, and of the sandwich variety, but I did thoroughly enjoy my ham and cheese sandwich.
In the suburban cement jungle that is Etobicoke-Lakeshore, The Big Guy's Little Coffee Shop is an oasis for coffee lovers who think Tim's tastes like instant freeze-dried coffee, or who think Starbucks coffee is just burnt. My dark roast coffee was just right, here.
