great coffee and great staff.
the espresso came great 4 out 5 tries.

good to have some good coffee without some noisy music and attitude like other joints.......

wow i must have gone on an off day. because the girl who served me was so unfriendly it actually made me laugh out loud.  No hello, she just stared at me...
the coffee was good, but that unfortunately threw me off completely.]]>

I fell in love with this place about a month ago. The staff were friendly, engaging and in no way pretentious. The espresso I had was delicious with a thick golden crema on top. I will absolutely be back]]>

One of the baristas, Nicole, rocks.  She makes an awesome espresso, and her cappuccino is the best in Toronto.  Trust me, I've tried them all.  She actually asked me questions about how I wanted my drink - finally, someone who knows what they are doing, and cares!]]>

No attitude at this new hot spot.  Cool vibe, nice staff with none of that attitude you find at cafes on the same street.  Poured a beautiful espresso, and then tried a macchiatto.  Nice smooth chocolate taste, nice body.  ]]>

Well, The above article was very... positive. It wasn't too critical - in a positive sense - however.

Firstly, I completely agree with much of what Dar said about this place. I not only find the folks here to be friendly and attentive, but very appropriately positive. I'm not convinced air roasting is the best way to go (but it's a very interesting method of roasting which I think is worth exploring). However, I'm convinced that running this sort of business the way these people are running theirs is the way to go. The roast master is intensely focussed on all aspects of his craft. He already knows how to air roast his beans, after finding them. But he's also keenly interested in feedback from his customers and, it seems, he's willing to experiment with his roasting profiles based on ideas he gets from that feedback. I don't know whether my feedback, specifically, influenced him, but he did tell me that he had been experimenting a bit when I let him know that I found his Americano and espresso to be, to my taste, improved from my last visit.

Te Aro is conveniently located for me, as I'm always on the Queen St streetcar coming from Coxwell further east. If I'm not off exploring some other, newly discovered, bean joint, and just want to relax and enjoy a good espresso or Americano, te aro is, amongst a few other spots I like, top of mind. I like to 'bar hop' actually. It's comfy in te aro and that has to do, in no small part, with the friendliness of the owners and staff.

Oh, And they don't hit you with overly foreground, on and off music. I guess I just happen to be lucky in that we have similar tastes (on) in music. But I think they also have some common sense about volume levels and how they affect customers' comfort level as well.]]>

I moved to Leslieville 5 yrs ago and whenever I told people where I lived (in response to their question), the reaction was always a look of confusion. But 5 yrs later, people react with enthusiasm and dare I say envy! And it's precisely because of great places like this coffee shop!

FYI - there's a new coffee spot (very humble by comparison) that serves EXCELLENT espresso/based drinks and has free wifi on the north side of Gerrard E., at Redwood (one block east of Greenwood). No awards for interior design but it's cosier than Mercury and the people are much nicer...actually, they're nice period.]]>

I'm pretty excited to know that next time I'm in Queen Street I'll be able to get coffee that's up to Wellington standards. My son lives in Toronto (Hi Ben!) and I'm sure he'll be haunting it.
Good luck from another Wellingtonian.]]>

It took me a surprisingly long time to remember what place this could be ... and I was really delighted when I recalled the garage on that side of Queen. What a clever change of that space. Can't wait to drop in next time I'm in the neighbourhood.]]>

My husband and I checked this place out on our day off Friday, I am so happy to have this new spot in the neighbourhood.  The staff were so friendly & helpful, they recommended the chocolate banana muffin and it was so delicious.  It was nice to sit outside and watch the people go by on Queen - great location and I love how they converted the garage into this neat space!]]>
