It was a treat to return to this cafe which is located a few doors down from the apartment I first lived in when I moved to Toronto 3 years ago - shout out to the Paradise Bar & Grill, which I had the *cough* pleasure of living over top of! This cafe opened shortly before I moved, so I am happy to see they are still buzzing with business.
The intriguing thing about the place is how it feels like it's been there for decades. Intelligensia Coffee is the supplier for these guys. They add cinnamon to the ground coffee before it's brewed - nice touch, and it's noticeable in the espresso...
Double espresso:
Appearance
Dark, golden caramel creama
Aroma
Bright, spicy - dominated by the cinnamon
Taste
Again, bright and crisp - very punchy/robust at the start. Has a distinctively clean finish, no lingering flavour on the palate.
3.5/5
With nice local art on display along with live music events, this place is a true local gem.
