Linuxcaffe (326 Harbord St)


Just a short jaunt from University of Toronto, this Bohemian inspired cafe certainly strikes me as unique with its no frills atmosphere, there's not an ounce of pretentious-ness here at all. I am happily reminded of the cafes along Queen St West by coming here. Or I could be on Cambie St in Vancouver.     

Double espresso:

Appearance
Served in a retro cup, they use Ideal Coffee espresso roast. Both of Ideal's cafes are on the list of remaining cafes to visit, so expect their reviews to be coming up. Light Caramel creama - just faintly floating on the surface, a solid dark brew

Aroma
Brown sugary sweet, almost a hot caramel aroma. Slight under tones of milk chocolate and a hint if spice

Taste
Over all nicely balanced, I pick up some sweet fruity cherry essence on the middle of my tongue. Finishes with a lingering noticeably dry sweetness on the back of my tongue.

This us a pretty decent bouquet of flavours happening here. I like how the cherry notes really jump out at me, this alone makes for a unique and memorable brew.

4.2/5

Very friendly staff, definitely worth a visit!
