Found it a bit cold and austere on a cold January day. Staff were not very friendly either.

Great coffee but very unfriendly and arrogant service from some barristers.

Great Service, on quiet days the staff are always willing to strike up a conversation. The clover coffee machine is THE BEST!!! Nice selection of coffee makers and accessories. The staff are also willing to make a coffee with a french press if asked. I have 1 complaint, the "crema" on their coffee is mostly absent, plus sometimes the coffee tastes a little bit stale. But Otherwise, My favourite coffee shop in toronto. Waaaaay better than Starbucks ( No offence intended for starbucks lovers)

Coffee is expensive and over rated. Staff are a PITA.

A bit overpriced for coffee that isn't even fair trade, but is is good coffee. Too bad the place is filled with singles taking up all the room with their laptops.

With a name like "Beladonna", it wouldn't surprise anyone if you're just overly sensitive.

I ve been working in the area for several months and drop by regularly enough to say this is a great place to hang out, with great coffee too. Very warm environment, friendly staff and big windows that let the precious sunlight in even on wintry days. The only downside is the limited food to snack on.

I have been discovering this little coffee shop for several months now and enjoying the experience and good cup of coffee but as of Thursday, I won't be spending my coffee dollar there any more. Why? because they thought it was acceptable to show disrespect to another persons faith by defacing a sacred image to generated tips. And, when the manager was made aware of the offense, nothing changed.

Jim, you have such a big head and ego to declare that. And yes, Adriana, that is not correct at all because we're supposed to be all diverse and accepting here.

So Adriana, if one follows your logic, the whole fatwa on the Danish cartoonist who "insulted" Islam by drawing a picture of Mohammed -- that whole thing is cool.

It's called freedom of speech. Do you ever use it to "spread the word of God"?

Well, just because you believe in a prehistoric fairy tale doesn't mean the rest of us can't express our opinions/thoughts on the matter as well.

Consistently delicious coffee. Sometimes hard to make your way up to the counter trying to shimmy and hurdle the gauntlet of strollers (not that there is anything wrong with that!). Has anyone ever seen the owners there?

Comment for Belladona
I am sure there may be barristers at Crema - but I think you mean baristas.

Pretty sure the tip jar has a little cow that says "we apreciate your Moo-lah". Which is pretty cute, actually.
The only person this could offend is an overly-sensitive Hindu, which seems unlikely considering all Hindu worshipers i've met are fair and open-minded. If that offends you, maybe everything else in the world does, too.

Not the best coffee for sure, but I remember I used to visit this place a lot when I lived in the 'hood. Not sure about their fast expansion though - risk of becoming another rubbish-starbux style? Watch out...

I've tried the coffee a handful of times and I keep hoping that I will like it. I don't get the hype about this place.
