3.5 stars... a nice stop near the UofT campus to get a decent cup.
Like all other Jimmy's spot I visited, this coffee spot has tons of character. Housed in an older home, the interior feels like a home except you have these incredible portraits of Jimmy's around the spot. Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Hendrix... you know the Jimmy's! I LOVE the ceilings... it has the old metal tiles that are imprinted with a pattern. They probably polished off the original paint and it looks like art work up there. There is a decent number of seating and it seems like they're friendly to people coming in with laptops. On a Sunday after the university school year is done, this was pretty empty. I only saw 3 laptops and so it was pretty easy to get a table.
Service here is cute and funny... it was somewhat like a cute comedy act as the 2 just laughed it up with the Big Red Tour Bus that passed by. One of the barista was non stop waving at them and trying to get the passengers to wave back. He also had this ridiculously funny big mouth grin that reminds you of a happy muppet. Anyhow... they got the drinks quick and ready for us.
They do have a few items to try out and I'm not sure if they're baked in house or brought it BUT they do have overnight oats, muffins, and a few bar items. They do have a few healthy items as well ... green smoothies and looks to be freshly juiced OJ.
Purple Haze Iced Tea - This is a shade not normally scene outside of a crayon box! Made with butterfly pea flowers that tint the herbal tea a vivid purple and then lightly sweetened with a bit of lemongrass. This is a decently refreshing drink for those who dont want a coffee. I would say there's really no traditional tea flavour. It's a bit of a watery flower note ... I could taste a bit of a citrus but it's really light. I did like how it wasn't a sugar bomb... just enough to call it refreshing. 3.5/5
Iced Coffee - Supposedly steeped in the coffee for 16 hours. This was a decent as it wasn't super sour like some terrible iced coffee. It was pretty light and not too heavy... but still enough flavour that it wasn't overwhelmed when you used a bit of cream in it. It is a bit watery but I think thats just cause there was a fair bit of ice in it. But on a hot day... that's probably welcomed 3.5/5
Overall, this is a pretty good spot to catch some nice A/C near the university. There's not too many good spots that have decent coffee and seats available to you. The service is funny and quick so you always have that to...

   Read moreSmall little coffee shop located on McCaul street near Princess Margaret Hospital. This place is always so busy when I walk by and I've been here a handful of times. They have a few small table and I mean small like a 12" pizza but it's enough for you to rest your beverage. There's a small upper level with 1 large table that can probably seat 10 people not bad for such a narrow establishment. They play great music all the time and the staff here are super friendly. I usually get a flat white here and I love the flavour here. They also have some light snacks and food as well as fresh juices. For some people this might not be the spot due to their limited seating but I always...
