The place is a little tucked away to down an alley on the East side of the distillery. Had a great cappuccino and a delicious panini. Nice decor and nice people. It is now a tough choice for me between Furbo and Balzac in the distillery... For just coffee I probably go Balzac but with food Furbo.

Best Americano I've ever tasted. For sure. He pulls shots lightning fast.
I can TOTALLY see how others may have been bothered by the male owners "flashy bravado" (perfect descriptive)... So long as he he keeps it down I'm totally fine with it haha. The eccentricity can even be a little endearing. But not when I'm tired :(
Be careful on those white seats! The one i'm currently on is super wobbly.Comment from Kevin B. of Caffe Furbo 10/8/2011

Review from Dishan W.
Giving it a solid 3.5 stars.
This place is like a modern and bright version of the The Mascot over on Queen West. I think Furbo goes well with the Distillery District and while I was there all I could think of was that it would make a great venue for a private event, they had a decent wine list and beer available but the overall lack of food was a downer for me, I had a chocolate croissant which I wish I had warmed up but was delicious nonetheless.
My latte (lacking the art) was not the type of drink I have come to enjoy, just gave that strong bitter taste I'm not a fan of. My friend also noted her drink was not amazing (can't recall what she got though).
But everything else in here is very nicely done, nice art to gaze at while seated and funky artsy furniture to sit on enjoying the free wifi. I will definitely be visiting again as this place does have the chance to make it up to that 4 star region.Listed in: Caffeine Adventures!

Why get half decent coffee with so many options around?
This place is all show, and does not offer a great product. The girl behind the counter is beautiful, but doesnt know the difference between an espresso and a cappuccino. The guy making the drinks (owner?) is all flash and bravado, but cant really steam milk to save his life.
If you want to see classic Eames furniture and have badly brewed espresso than this is the place for you.Comment from Kevin B. of Caffe Furbo 10/8/2011

Great addition to the Distillery District. This newly opened cafe is probably going to give Balzac's some stiff competition, however I think they will be able to co-exist as they are different enough. While Balzac's is more cozy, Caffe Furbo has a clean, minimalist aesthetic with great modern art on the walls. The biggest difference is probably that CF is licensed and has a wine list.
I came here on a weekday and it was really quiet. Other than me, just a couple people that looked like there were on a business meeting. I had a nice latte and read a book. There are cute little coffee tables, but this is not the place to come to do work (tables are too low to comfortably write/type on them). More of a hanging out place.
The owner (an artist himself) was really nice. The vibe is relaxed with some chill music playing but not too loud. They had some tempting sweets on display (scones, chocolate croissants, tarts, biscotti) but I didn't indulge this time. They also have orangina and other cold drinks. Wine is available by the glass or the bottle.
I'm sure this place will do well!Listed in: Cafe Culture

Caffe Furbo is EXCELLENT. I love their scones (and I'm not a scone lover)-the ambience is very nice and Kevin a great host. The cappuccino is great also-as is the art work and space. I keep coming back!!!!
