This is the transformer of all coffee shops in the Greater Toronto Area. Why? Well because from the outside looking in this modest coffee shop looks to be just a simple front counter and 2 chair shop... kind of like a take-away spot.
Then you walk inside and BOOM! a set of stairs opens before you revealing a loft space filled tables and chairs, enough to easily seat 15-20. Take THAT Markham Main Street Starbucks!!!
So you settle into a spot and go back down the stairs and take a look over the menu... and it's QUITE the menu. By my count it extends to over 5 white boards of options. All basic foods you would expect in a coffee shop BUT with a certain X-factor. Their meats (chicken, beef, pork) are all FLOSS certified (Fresh, Local, Organic, Sustainable, Seasonable), from local free-range farms. I spoke with the owner (Brian) and his claim is that he's been buying his meat like this long before it was trendy to do so.
While I didn't have a chance to order some food this time (I had JUST eaten) I did order my go to caffeinated Americano and was plum shocked when it came to $2.50!!!! Take that times TWO Starbucks!!!
Definitely my new mobile office when I'm exploring the beautiful new streets of Markham Main Street!
