In conclusion, I don't recommend anyone consume 14 espresso shots in one day because as a result last night was pretty rough and I spent the night detoxing. My motivation for covering all the remaining cafes was that I had purchased a TTC day pass and I wanted to get my full money's worth... it just came at the expense of possible heart palpitations. Ah well, only live one eh.
On the bright side, I completed the coffee tour 2 days early. Every cup is marked off as you can see from the completed passport in the picture above. Each shop had their own fun way of stamping my card. I particularly liked The One in the Only Cafe's seal of completion - just a big random scribble all over that little cup - nice.
In all honesty, the tour was really fun and I learned a lot. It gave me an excuse to get out and explore many areas of the city that I hadn't been to before. As I went around I realized there are many more cafes that aren't on the passport that are worthy of a visit too. I think it would be a great idea if more of them participated in the tour next year. My appreciation for coffee has grown as a result and I have hopefully become a bit of a better blogger. Talking to people along the way enforced the fact that our cafes are local hang outs where people enjoy conversing and share thoughts in a comfortable setting, to me these places are the present day versions of the Tim Hortons/Country Styles/coffee pot diners of generations past.
Stay tuned, new reviews coming soon...
