Sam James Coffee Bar
Sam James located at 297 Harbord Street offers in my opinion the best coffee in town. Situated on of my favourite streets in the annex, Sam James brews a delightful array of coffee based beverages including but not limited to: espresso, lattes, drip coffee, and cappuccinos. Several non-caffeinated products are available as well. The vanilla extract is apparently made in house and is totally delicious-I strongly suggest the vanilla latte, which is prepared with such beautiful care by the lovely baristas. A half pound of take home beans runs you $9 bones. Bring cold hard cash, no debit services available. Street parking available on Harbord right across the street.
Sam is a super cool cat. His strong knowledge of fine quality coffee is abundant. His subtle charisma is even more abundant. Sam James offers some delicious baked goods as well. I recommend the oatmeal cookie. The decor is very kitsch and authentic. Seating is limited in the coffee bar; however, in finer weather you will often find people chilling on stools in front of SJ. Prices are reasonably within market value and totally worth every penny. " Sam James coffee, mornings just suck without it!"
But make um understand its Westside foe life!
Thanks so much for you time!
