This is the first place I visited as a part of the Indie Coffee Passport.

23. The Abbott
This is a bit of an odd location for a cafe as its down a residential area and one wouldn't think of any commercial outlet on this street. very easy to miss from the King Street unless you know where you are going.
The setup is decent and functional…More »

The setup is really nice even though this place is off the beaten path. Huge sitting area with comfy chairs, Free WiFi, lotsa reading material and the icing on the cake Jazz playing in the background.
From the setup it looks like selling beans is the…More »

My second visit has improved the experience here. While the cappuccino was pedestrian at best the Mochacino quite decent.

The crowds at this establishment defy all logic. I mean they do have seating area in front so maybe that's the charm.
I ordered my cappuccino for here as I prefer it in a ceramic cup.
Big mistake the ceramic cup had grime all over. Now for the main…More »

Recently updated lists from Elvis A.
Cigar Friendly Patios in Toronto! (7)Yes even though most patios allow smoking cigarettes they don't allow a cigar! Heck its not addictive and IMO opinion they smell great. Here is a list of places where you can enjoy a pint/drink without the fuss of people telling you can't smoke a cigar here! |
Beer Luvers Rejoice! (13)These places in Toronto have decent selection of beer.I tend to favor Belgian Style beers so this list is based on that. |
Delta Hotels Home Away from home in Canada! (8)Reviews of various Delta Hotel Location across Canada. |
Vivia Las Vegas! (6)Must visit places in the city of Sin. |
UFC without Cover! (10)These bars/pubs offer UFC PPV events without a Cover Charge in Toronto. |
Indulgence, a lifetime event, food luvers' paradise! (7)Memorable meals and other food,drink related places in North America. |
Cigar Shops Toronto (20)For the Cigar Luvers in Toronto.In my experience most of the places sell Cuban Cigars for the same price with one exception unless one buys a box. One can find a better deal for non Cuban products if there is special on them at some stores. Some places charge a premium for the location. So what sets them apart is the service and selection IMO unless you know exactly what you want. |
Cappuccino Face Off Vancouver (8)The best of the best in Vancouver for this hard to master espresso delicacy. |
