1358 Bathurst Street, Toronto, ON, M5R 3H7
Coffee shop: Think "can't afford Toronto real estate downtown so compromised and bought a few blocks north in midtown". The gestalt is organic, natural and local with warm & welcoming staff, primo Intelligensia coffee, exposed brick walls, large communal table, cozy sofa and chairs you melt into (coziness is guaranteed, they are nap tested), lots of good art on the walls and free WiFi. The Chai Latte is transcendent and the biscotti are so good you'll want to throw them a party. Scratch is the local hangout
my favourites are also banana chocloate chip muffins and pumpkin muffins, but all the food is made from scratch by local artisinal bakers so i'm sure that whatever you have will be good. the staff are good company and give the place a good vibe. it feels like a bit like Cheers meets The Central Perk. the owners are warm, genuine people. me likey!
