| - I'm the Yelp Duchess of this spot for good reason - Red Rocket rocks. When I want to get some work done or just surf away mindlessly, RR is my go-to.
THE GOOD:
- Every hot drink I've tried here has been awesome. My favourites are the lavender green tea latte and the hot chocolate, which is served up with MARSHMALLOW WHIPPED CREAM (!!!) and a gummy worm! I didn't know what true love was until I tried marshmallow whipped cream. Get this if you have a sweet tooth. (Tip: Save the gummy worm for last. Once you're done the hot chocolate, let it wriggle down the empty cup into your mouth. Trust me on this.)
- The ambience here is everything you look for in a coffee shop: a quirky, cozy little nook with packed bookshelves, abstract art, inviting leather couches and fairy lights. It has a slight hipster vibe without coming off as pretentious. I always enjoy the music as well - right now, they're bumping 90s Cher and Deborah Cox.
- Prices are generally comparable to Starbucks. A medium hot chocolate, for example, goes for $4.15 with tax - definitely worth it when you want to hang out here for a few hours.
- Free WiFi is available, as well as wall outlets for those of us with crappy computers - hallelujah!
THE BAD:
- I've got nothing - 5/5 stars!
Still on my to-do list is to try the scones and other baked goods - I'll be sure to give them a try and report back. In the meantime, be sure to stop by RR on your next Danforth adventure.
