A stroll through Parkdale landed me in this place. Upon walking in, I observed three things:
1. Americanos are something like $1.
2. There is a great living room-esque back room.
3. The only music played was the Beatles.
I ordered an espresso, my standard drink, and right as I was about to whisk it over to my table, the barista asked me to wait. He sliced the peel of an orange onto my saucer and said a customer earlier that day said that rubbing the citrus skin on the mouth of the coffee cup enhances the sensual experience. While I can't say that it made a huge difference to me, I am giving the barista (who was great!) points for creativity.
This place is inviting and in the heart of Parkdale. I was pleased to see the diversity of customers and I'd definitely swing by if I am in the neighbourhood again.
