The Brockton Haunt










The Brockton Haunt is a very sleek and cozy espresso bar at 1150 College Street, just west of Dufferin. It's very clean and comfortable, and the elevated tiny second floor area has a nice dining table to seat four and art which adorns the walls.

New Look Second Cup


Second Cup has renewed it's look in some of its stores. The most noticeable one at the moment is the one at King and Bathurst Street. The pictures above are from 475 Yonge Street, north of College Street, which replicate the same look and feel. There's a faux fireplace, red couch-like seating, a massive vase in the middle of the room overlooking the window.

Zaza Espresso Bar









On 75 Yorkville Avenue, Zaza is a tiny but decadent coffee house brining traditional Italian espresso to the neighborhood. Co-owner Raffaele Bettalico is a very overseer of operations who gives off a lot of good vibrations to customers and staff when he's present. Aside from Lattes and Espressos, there is also gelato at the bar.
