Food Scene

The coffee is really solid here, but the vibe is next-to-none. A stone's throw from the St. Lawrence Market, it's ideal for an afternoon pick-me-up and a stroll. The treats are also amazing! A+

Some of the best coffee in the city, in the heart of Little Italy. These folks do cuppings every Sunday and their baristas are incredibly knowledgeable. Great little spot to hang out for a bit too.
