I couldn't agree with you more PurpleNights. I make it a point not to ever go there again unless I like to have my coffee served with a sharp tongue.]]>

Completely agree. They really don't understand the concept of GOOD Customer Service. They have no respect or appreciation for their customers.

the owner was super rude and has no respect for his customer!!! I hardly say this about people too. 

The reason why I went there was because I saw them on a show and thought the designs they make on coffees were neat. So when I got up to the owner to order my coffee, I excitedly told him I saw them on the show, told him how I thought the cafe looks great. I happily asked if he could recommend me a drink. 

Instead of appreciating the fact that  I was paying them a compliment, and letting them choose my drink hence the price I'll pay, he snapped snobbishly at me and said...

"ahum.. that's not the way it works here...i put in a shot of espresso and your job is to pick which cup size you want. You see..I won some XXX coffee reward (pointed at 1 small plaque from 2005 on the wall ) and that's not how I run my business"...clearly my excitement about the place was gone... geezz all I wanted was coffee... plus the design on the coffee was so sloppy.]]>

Anonymous, I couldn't agree with you more. The sad thing about Toronto's coffee scene is that most seem to be importing their beans from 49th Parallel or Intelligenstia. While these are top notch beans, I will respect and appreciate a place that selects the highest quality beans and roasts them as needed. Surely a large city such as Toronto can nurture a micro-roasting industry? The same goes with Montreal's coffee scene - it is even more pathetic. Cafe Artigiano, please come to Toronto.]]>

Stuart Ross is an arrogant prig. There is no need to be such a douche in order to prove that you know coffee. Step into Dark Horse or Mercury for an inviting space and coffee that is equally delicious. In fact, Dark Horse's is assuredly better. ]]>

The places that offer something *like* this are generally franchises like Timothy's, Starbucks, etc. Smaller independents? Probably each place has its own reasons why not but I'd guess it's the amount of return on space used.]]>

Through blending you actually create anonymity of some of the lesser quality components of a blend, and will result in a balance of mediocrity, rather than highlighting specific qualities of a single origin, much like a left bank Bordeaux requires specific casks and aging to come to its potential.

However, you should be purchasing coffees from roasters less willing to settle on on a safe and mediocre blend of coffees, and insist that your roaster push themselves to master the specific roasting needs of a single origin coffee, rather than have it masked by coffees from other origins in a blend.

This is specialty coffee we're talking about, and paying for.
Why are we still brewing blended drip coffee.

The single origin as espresso is slightly more complex, as an espresso will never show the complexities in as delicate and easy to taste form, as drip coffee.
You can achieve great results with single origin espresso, it just takes even MORE tinkering.]]>

i was a pretty disappointed to find out that they only have about 4 tables. I have yet to find a nice and cozy coffee shop in Toronto that has both good espresso and nice big chairs to sink in while reading a great book. Arg. One day I will find one.]]>

A note on single orgin coffee.  Most of single orgin branded coffees on the market are house wine at best.  Through blending, you will always create a more balanced cup of coffee.  Single orgin Espresso is like a left bank Bordeaux and requires a master roaster and cupper with super-tasting qualifications.]]>

What a shame....the state of coffee in Toronto. 
No one seems to understand and appreciate the importance of crema, milk quality, milk frothing temperatures, not burning your coffee etc. Latte art is very common in most cities which have a strong cafe culture and is not a luxury at all. So who cares if it takes like piss?]]>

They make the best croissants in town.  Yes, even better than the (butter soaked, soggy, unpleasant, *insert more negative adjectives*) croissants at Bonjour Brioche.  The man who makes them for Bulldog was trained in France.  They have a delightfully crisp, flaky shell and pillow soft, mildly sweet interior.  Drooolllll.]]>

This place is pretentious and overrated. The fat guy behind the counter was rude and they do not serve single origin coffee. I asked the barista why they did not serve coffee and he condescendingly pointed out that espresso is coffee - duh! No wonder they are in financial difficulty.]]>
