So far, so great! I could be cheesy here and say "Te Aro has "Crafted" a beautiful new coffee shop in the West End." OK, I did it. Cheese factor overload!

But seriously, I am so happy to have a new coffee place on Ossington, because Ideal was getting…More »

  Update - 6/27/2010

Ideal is just getting too popular. I had to take a star away simply for the length of time I now must wait on a typical weekend morning to get my coffee.

I thought they were getting it when I noticed two staffers working one recent weekend morning.…More »

Crema is my cafe when I need a boost, or feel like rewarding myself.  The latte here is so good, but I can't give it 5 stars because it really is pricy. This decadent creamy delicious latte would be too expensive to enjoy on a daily basis, for 4.25…More »

Timothy's is my regular stop for a morning non-fat latte. The best thing about this place is the lovely women who work here. Everyday they have smiles on their faces, and are friendly and welcoming. They know their customers, too, and often have…More »

This is a casual and comfortable place to enjoy a coffee while reading your book or the paper. They have nice art on the walls and a varied program of events. On Sunday mornings there is a walk-in yoga class focused on alignment. I didn't take the…More »

In a neighborhood of Korean restos, chain coffee shops and scrubby college dives, Snakes and Lattes stands out. An indie coffee shop with an entertaining twist and lively employees? I am in!

Checked it out last night for a latte. Yes, predictable,…More »

We stopped in for coffee this morning, and everything about this place was good. I wish we had gone back here for brunch instead of where we did go.

First, the decor was outstanding. What a cool gallery space to use for a cafe!

Second, the service was…More »

I am a fan of Lettieri at St. Clair and Yonge. I have been away from the neighborhood for a few years and just came back for work and am happy to be able to frequent it again.
The coffee is always good, and they make it however you like. My favorite…More »

If I was just reviewing the latte, 5 stars for sure. This is a much higher quality latte than I have had in a while, and I savored it.

However, the price was a bit steep ($4) and it took a while, so I am being harsh and only giving them 4 stars.

I was very impressed with this place. Visited at 7:30 Monday morning, just as they were opening. We were warmly greeted and the smells of the very freshly baked muffins and croissants drew us in further.

It's pretty reasonably priced. They have daily…More »

I found this place kind of weird, to be honest. It's a very large space for a coffee shop, but a big portion of it used for retail - they are selling coffee-related equipment, which I guess makes sense, but if you are just ordering a coffee and are…More »

My goal on a weekday morning before work is to get a tasty latte fast. A dose of friendliness is the icing, or in this case, the foam.
Unfortunately, this Second Cup doesn't deliver either. The service here is not friendly or fast. The handful of…More »

Things I have purchased from Goed Eten: lattes, fish sandwich, croissants, and waffles. All have been delicious, especially the flaky, buttery croissants, and the light and fluffy waffles.

The staff has always been really friendly when I've stopped…More »

Delicious lattes, beautiful decor, but turn off that horrible 80s music!

This place is a charming cafe with nice staff and the coffees are top notch. Unfortunately, I was there for about 30 minutes one recent morning and the awful music made it…More »

This is an interesting place. A hipster clothing store combined with an equally hipster coffee shop. Guess it's worth a try! The clothes are high-end and pricey and the coffee... Well, I ordered a latte and when I left with it, I realized it had a…More »
