This cafe, located near the water front, is fantastic. I don't know why I enjoy it so much. Perhaps it was because while I was strolling by the water front in the winter, and freezing my hands off, I found a quaint little cafe that offered scrumptious hot chocolate and biscottis.
I came back in the summer to take my dogs to the water front and the same amazing biscottis were there, as well as perfect lattes made with organic beans. I love supporting small, fair trade establishments and our barista was a friendly, quirky guy.
He didn't say anything to us about our howling dogs on the back patio, and the atmosphere is so laid back. It's like stepping into a cottage. It really fits the area and is one of my favourite cafes in Toronto--certainly #1 in the West.
