Loveless

BOTTOM LINE: A cozy, and licensed, café!
A mix between a dive bar/​café and a place with table service, Loveless has a cozy corner spot in this up-​and-​coming neighbourhood. The layout of the café includes very tiny tables by the windows, tables for 2 on one side, and a small couch area for 4 on the other side. They serve your regular café offerings along with some pastries, though I might recommend trying something besides the PAIN-​AU-​CHOCOLAT, which was quite doughy.
I’ll have to come back when it’s warmer to sample their patio and cocktails. They have, IIRC, 3 – 4 beers on tap, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what they were. More reason to come back, I guess! Definitely worth checkout if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Cozy little café/​bar, great for spending a lazy afternoon. They have a good amount of seating — not good for big groups (only 1 table for 4), but it’s more of the kind of place to come read a book on your own or catch up in an intimate setting. It’s table service unlike most coffee shops. Standard espresso drinks as well as some cocktails and beers (I just had a cappuccino). Look out for the taxidermy animals at the bar — kind of random!

A hole in the wall with a very laid back easy vibe, with excellent Mexican inspired cocktails and a nice patio. In an as yet undiscovered Toronto neighborhood– no Starbucks!
