Great place, great food - all made fresh and on the premises - great staff and friendly customers. last time I was there, a couple of people offered to move tables just so me and my friends would have more room.
Great brunch there on Saturdays.
Had breakfast there this morning. It was really cozy in there. Coffee, as usual, was excellent. So was the friendly service and the food arrived quickly. Great value.
Went in there out of the freezing cold yesterday for a coffee but stayed for a delightful brunch. Warm ambiance for the freezing weather.
Dropped in there this morning after reading Olga's comment. I was glad I did - they're the first open in this area selling decent coffee so I had a large mug of dark coffee and a fried egg on a bagel. Just perfect on a freezing cold Monday morning and a great way to start off the week.
Great Chai Latte - way better than any of the big names. They also sell coffees, teas and the Chai Latte for home/office use.
Great place. Was walking by and Saturday evening and dropped in. Had a great latte and cookies but was really impressed with the friendly staff. Only criticism - and it is a small one - it was pretty cold sitting near the front :(
Love the atmosphere. Good prices. Best coffee in Toronto. Soup and bread is homemade. Delicious!
I love this place and it keeps getting better in little steps at a time. Last week they added a diaper changing station downstairs near the washrooms. Also, they have improved their breakfast menu during the week.
I agree with Bill. This could become a great Junction institution! It has real quality products at great prices with excellent homemade food. Unlike other places in the area, it is a genuine place with no great pretensions - just great products at great prices. Plus their support of art and artists is a lesson to others. The owner told me that they have some plans to improve the space which sound very positive. Also they have moved their wireless router so that reception is 5/5 throughout the cafe.
Agora stayed open late Friday through Sunday for the street festival. On Friday night, they had a great 2-piece band with drums and guitar. They were great and people stopped and listened to them on both sides of the street. They didn't seem to have a name but called themselves Project Macintosh when pressed. I couldn't get my kids to leave, they were having such fun. Well done, Agora.
Anne, I saw these guys on Saturday. I think there was a change in line-up and one of the customers joined in as well. They were great. There was also a story teller there. As usual, I had a great brunch freshly made and great coffee. I bought a 1/2 pound of the Junction Blend ground to my specification.
This place is so unpretentious that it doesn't belong in Toronto. The coffee is great, the food is great, the staff are great. Even when they were really, really busy during the Festival, they kept all the customers happy.
Dropped in there recently after being away for a while. It was very quiet when I went in mid afternoon, mid week, so much so that I thought they were closed. But, as always, the people working there (the owners?) were helpful and friendly. I had had a really great bowl of Mushroom Soup with brown bread, a mug of dark Ethiopian coffee and apple bake. It was more like a meal than a snack.
