Java Jive (585 Church St)



There's something unique about this small coffee shop, it's not pretentious at all, and although they have an espresso machine, the popular drink seems to be the brewed coffee.

The staff here always greet me with a friendly smile - this is really nice and appreciated. The Customer is number one here.

The coffee is decent (not too strong) and they have 7 different kinds on tap - from decaf to a number of flavours. 
Oh and the patio is great for people watching ;)


I hope they continue to have a loyal following of locals because I heard that a new Tim Hortons is going to open up just south of Church and Wellesley Streets.

Definitely worth a visit, the place really has a warm/welcoming local atmosphere!

Some Indie Cafe reviews to consider


Some of these I have visited and others are still on my list. Although the columists didn't review the brewed espresso at these cafes, the reviews are pretty thorough and offer some insight on exactly what makes these places truly unique and worth visiting.

Definitely worth a read...
