Lettieri (Adelaide St E @ Victoria St)


Many of the shops bearing this name have been converted to Hero burgers, but this location is still alive and busy.

I always liked this 'Made in Toronto' cafe chain. Their decor is still fresh and chic - very designer-ish - clean lines and vibrant colours.

They must buy their beans locally as the Expresso flavour tastes really familiar to me. This coffee reminds me of the one I had at Te Aro Roasters in Lesleyville during the coffee passport tour.

My only critique is that they are selling pizzas now - I imagine this is a scheme to increase sales, but it doesn't fit. It detracts from the cafe experience and tells me they aren't as serious about coffee as they used to be.
