| - I have been coming here since 2009, and if there were more stars to give I would happily give them!
Hidden on a sidestreet, the Last Drop Cafe has delicious baked goods, and the deli sandwiches are made with awesomely fresh ingredients for great prices (under $6 for a meat sandwich complete with chips on the side). Their hot chocolate is awesome in winter (marshmellows AND whipped cream!), and their treats are super-tasty (cookies, muffins, banana bread, and squares). The two owners are incredibly friendly and upbeat - I have been visiting weekly while getting treated at the hospital and they never fail to make my day with pleasant smalltalk and many smiles. The cafe itself is a comfortable place to pass time (e.g. reading the paper, catching up on some worK) - it's bustling with people but never so busy that it gets overly loud, and there is free wifi.
I don't know where the people complaining about price usually go to eat, but compared to Starbucks where you get frozen/heated baked goods and coffee chain service this small business is so superior and for the things that I usually get way cheaper (I buy a drink, beef sandwich with chips & a couple carrots, and a baked good such as chocolate cake for less than $12... McDonald's is rarely that cheap, and I definitely cannot get a full and tasty lunch from SB, but easily spend the same amount for less). And frankly, I would far sooner have my money going to an independent local business than feeding into yet another corporation.
Overall, this is a really amazing cafe in the East end, and my hands down favourite cafe / lunch spot in Toronto.
