Te Aro Roasted (983 Queen St E)

This one is also in Leslieville - wow, this area is a real hotbed of cafe activity. 

The staff here are really friendly and they offered me a shot glass of sparkling water to go with my espresso - what a nice touch.

Appearance
Black and syrupy, with dark creama

Aroma
Intoxicating dark chocolate and roasty goodness 

Taste
Starts out with a surprising sweet punch at the front of the tongue, then heads into a caramel/ brown sugar bouquet that's slightly spicy. It finishes on a lingering dark chocolate note - wow, what a profile of flavours!  

5/5

The decor is really modern and calming. I noticed a poster on the door that says every Friday they have customer coffee cuppings. This is a pretty unique idea and it helps to build the romance associated with the whole coffee experience.
