I had an urge to get a mild caffeine buzz and check my email after waking up late today, so I went to Cafe Falco, recommended by my roomie.
Surrounded by warehouses and loft spaces in typical Mile-End fashion, this place is well lit and the decor achieves a high level of feng-shui. Most people were ordering lunch, which seemed to be a sort of japanese infused cafe fare, I may give it a go next time. This time I just got a cafe latte and sat down at a long table where I was joined by a couple of lunchies who I overheard say something about "c'est les petits delices dans la vie qui comptent" so they must have been liking it. The latte was good but didn't amaze me by its subtlety, and it was kind of expensive, but I had fun watching it being made in their crazy coffee contraptions.
