My Toronto ♥️
Favorite Coffee ☕️☕️☕️
***I’m a huge coffee drinker and love to explore different cafes; I love coffee shops with a lot of character and enjoy burying myself into some work or journaling at one of these spots.

This is a chain of independent coffee shops that just has a unique, calm vibe. My favourite location is the one recommended here (on Boulton avenue - about a 20 minute King streetcar ride) but there are other locations closer to the condo. This one however is a hidden gem and I love having a cappuccino here. Their food however isn’t that good - very few choices and overpriced.
