Dental surgery was on Tuesday and I am eager to get back on the cafe review wagon, so off to High Park and Cafe Novo...
The staff here are super nice and friendly. The place is very bright and airy too. They have been open 10 months and some interesting attributes that definitely set them apart from other cafes I have been too:
1. Bring your own cup and get a discount - but you can actually leave your cup at the store for repeat visits!
2. In the back of the house they have a huge chalk board where people have written quotes and messages to others about meeting up for the next board game night - like a hard copy Facebook.
3. Patio - being away from the downtown core allows them this nice luxury for the summer months.
I ordered a large latte. Nice balance of espresso to milk, very creamy so I suspect it was made with whole milk - the best. Yum. No latte art here, but who really cares eh? Served in a tall glass, not a mug - fine with me.
Double espresso (Classic Gourmet Coffee - Toronto):
Appearance
Super dark, syrupy, light caramel crema
Aroma
Light roasty, layered slightly sweet floral
Taste
Very smooth and leaves palate clean, slight robust punch at finish. I pick up a dark chocolate flavour, no bitterness to speak of. Leaves a lingering warmth of flavor back of tongue
5/5
I really enjoyed this one!
