The first time I came to this place was only a few weeks ago while meeting one of my co-workers who lives in the neighbourhood. During the day it was packed with people working on their laptops, which is what I do at cafes close to me. I like that…More »

Yes, i'm a fan. I live right near the Ossington strip and it's nice now to have somewhere else to go apart from Ideal. Like this morning... I go into Ideal, and there's a big line, and it's not moving quickly because there's only one person there,…More »

This is one of my local cafes, although not one I use much. Not as much as I should. The coffee is good, and when we went in there today there was some latte art on top of the latte. There really isn't as much latte art in Toronto as there should be.…More »

I'm a fan of the neighbourhood portuguese places. Nova Era falls into this category. While rebuilding by house I was always there getting their famous Tosta Mista (a ham and cheese sandwich toasted) for only $4. You could walk in and out of there…More »
