| - It's a great cafe just off Bloor St.! It's quite airy and spacious, with lots of natural light. There is a couch, some barstools by a window ledge and about seven tables (fairly generously spaced out; not all squished together as in some square-footage-challenged Toronto cafes). There are interesting pieces of antique furniture here and some neat artwork!
The free wi-fi was quite stable while I was here. Very tasteful music (some jazz... Latin American, I think?) at just the right volume. The moment I walked in, I knew I wanted to hang out here. It was relaxed, quiet, and unpretentious without being a dive.
To drink, I had a latte and a capp, both of which were quite decent -- pretty strong, with a hint of bitterness. I also had a couple of very yummy empanadas (they have four varieties, two of which are vegetarian), and a tiny and lovely gluten-free shortbread cookie.
The washrooms in the basement were clean and in good shape -- far better than the downright scary spaces I've encountered in some coffee joints.
Verdict: a great place all-around. Even though I don't live in the neighbourhood, I'll no doubt be back.
