This hidden gem in the Junction (Toronto) is a roastery slash space for coffee enthusiasts and nomads. This beautiful spot also boasts some great baristas with so much bean knowledge--ask them anything! Always a great time to chat. I have been here a few times and this time, actually stayed for a few hours to get some work done.
Located in the industrial part of the Junction the space presents itself industrial but filled with warmths. When you walk in, you will see immediately a long coffee bar with various coffee machines for your pour overs, cappuchinos, espresso etc. At the far back, giant machines (roasting things perhaps), workspace for the techs (I think) and a beautiful graffiti art on the back wall.
The main seating area comprises of high bar stools, a few desks area with sockets and roman theatre style steps with some tables that you can work from (also with sockets) or just chat away.
There is a section in the shop that is a retain space with all the beans you can buy to go and various coffee related pieces.
There is also a coffee bag recycling box! Very neat!
Also, they have teamed up with MUUSE to keep one less paper cup out of the landfill.
TTC accessible: Either from Keele Street, just a few minutes from St. Clair/Keele streetcar stops or a few minutes from Dundas (40 bus) at Keele.
Street parking varies but always available when I have been here. Otherwise, park at the Organic Garage/LA Fitness and walk over :D
