| - I knew this place was near the High Park TTC station but I didn't realise how close. As I exited the subway station, I barely had time to fish out my smartphone to map this place, before I spotted it. Great location!
When you enter, you are IMMEDIATELY faced with a smiling barista. I've never been to a café where the bar is so close to the door and it was a bit overwhelming. I typically like to look around, survey the scene, scope out any "tasties" as the fellas say, then order my drink. I didn't have that luxury here, so I merely blurted out my order for a soy latte.
As you venture in you are greeted with an airy space with avocado-coloured plaster walls, a long bar, a communal table and plenty of seating. I grabbed my latte (which was HUGE by the way) and grabbed a seat at the communal table. The table faces a large chalkboard, which could come in handy if you are here working with a group on your plans for world domination.
Sadly, like so many other Toronto establishments in the winter, this place got frigid quickly everytime the door was opening so I barely got to stay for more than 25 minutes. But I definitely enjoyed my stay. Can't wait to come back in the summer.
Obligatory Title Pun: Like a champagne super NOVO.
Menu Readability: I didn't even look, I just order the first drink that came to mind.
Need to mention: I hear they have a swell patio.
What this place teaches me about myself: I'm a wuss when it comes to the cold.
