How have I not written a review yet :-S
I love every single drink on the menu! My favourite is the V Beckham which tastes like Victoria looks, tart and sweet! The Wu Tang is dirty as hell, which is my bffs fav! The presentation of the drinks are nice and they come out the same no matter who makes them, which goes to show how much care Alex puts into training. The coffee is something epic. They will sell you the beans but wont grind them for you which makes no never mind to me. They used to do brunch, but still have pastries to snack on.
A lot of people come here to study, which is fine, but when there is nowhere to sit and someone is taking up a table for 4 with a laptop it can be a bit annoying. I paid for parking the other day and walked into a full house with just this scenario. I didn't want to but had to leave :-(
They do live music and private events, I would totally consider doing a birthday party or some other event here it is very intimate and the vibe is just right. Oh that's another thing, the music is always 100% on point!
This is probably my favourite hole in the wall bourbon bar and I would give it a 5 if it weren't for the lack of seating and signage. There is literally no sign other than a logo on the window which you can't see while driving, I just tell people it's next to the threading spot. Alex seems to like to keep it real simple, I begged him to do gift certificates one Christmas but he wants to keep it a local watering hole which is probably why people keep...
Read more3.5 Stars ... definitely above average and a very unique spot for boozy drinks with coffee. A hipster hang out for sure.
On a sunny Saturday, they had the doors and windows open and it allowed the cool breeze to come through. There isnt a lot of seating and every table was taken up with a laptop and a can of cider. Though it's listed as being a coffee place... it definitely has more of a vibe of a hipster bar than a coffee place. Service is funny and relaxed ... very relaxed. Don't come here for good and quick service for coffee... come here if you have time to chill, relax, and drink. The fellow patrons are cool here but hipster is the key word. Another good thing about this place, it's opened late... so that is a huge win to find a place that does good coffee late at night.
We ordered a non-typical drink of the Sloane teas but with a latte... the barista/bartender was super friendly and just handling a lot of people by himself. It took some time to get our drink but we werent in too much of a rush. I loved they had Sloane teas available and they took time to steep the teas to develop flavour. I would say they probably used too much tea to almond milk as it was more watery but really loved that they gave us at least 2 tea bags so it gave as much flavour as possible.
Overall, chill and cool... probably best if you want to just find a spot to sit and read your emails with a cider...
Read moreThe best coffee and cocktail bar in all of Toronto.
Once upon a time there were cocktail/coffee spots in Toronto with exceptional service choices, curated snacks, and to-go beer, and ciders.
But you missed that time.
Jason, Alex, Bronwyn (days) and Adrian (nights) serve up and curate the best taste experience in the city.
Adrian, through his genetics, provides a posterior, hair flow, and facial experience between Adrian Grenier and Timothée Chalamet. Bring your gf's and most Zaddy-loving bf/bff's and tell me I am wrong.
The most fabulous Toronto example of that cool viby spot where super handsome, deeply attentive, and tasty snacks and drinks match up in downtown Toronto is still Voodoo Child.
The baked goods are UNREAL: Nanaimo Bars, cookies, butter tarts, chocolate chip muffins, and croissants. The pickles are unbelievable. The pickles are definitely the best in the city. Not fried. Sorry kids, it's a small space back there.
The music is always AWESOME.
The vibe is Brooklyn without the flight and hotel cost. And as friendly as if your parents really loved and wanted you!
Come here.
Thank me later.
(Missing things in the evening: the breakfast sandwiches, bagels & cream cheese, decaf, grilled cheese, fries, other hot crispy things...and more tinned seafood choices on the menu to go all aphrodisiac with the...
