I haven't gone too far from home to do coffee reviews, but when I can, its super awesome when my instincts take me to a great location. Maggie and I needed to be in Toronto and found ourselves on Yonge Street in apparently a very "right wing" part of the city. I normally don't travel in business areas often but we happened upon a fabulous location of Ideal coffee. This place is the third location of this little Roastery and we were welcomed in with a smile and barista with panache! Brett was working all on her own and was dishing up great looking lattes, cappuccinos, espressos and treats with speed, finesse and friendly suggestions. Maggie and I were completely taken with her ability to win everyone over immediately. I always ask if I can take pictures and try not to post anything that wouldn't reflect the cafe in a positive light, as well as ask questions in order to complete my review and hopefully learn what I can. I bought a bag of coffee called the Red Sea made from Ehiopian Sidama beans (yum!) and a t-shirt which may add to a new obsession. Ideal coffee on Yonge Street was comfortable, had many beans to choose from and a great atmosphere (charmingly hipster?). Maggie and I both agreed our visit was amazing and the vegan muffin we split was delicious too.
