Lost coffee shop

This coffee shop at 1 University Avenue in Toronto used to be one of my favourites. The long-running roadwork on York and Front Streets seems to have killed it off, though. The roadwork is finished now, but so is the coffee shop.

It ws a pleasant place, George, with a patio in summer, but the fences for the roadwork hid it from view. They had signs up, but who reads any more, eh?

Thanks, George. I think the big problem there was people being kept out, or rather led to believe there was no shop there.

It was a chain shop, Sarah, but had agreeable staff, reliable coffee, an interesting view of the Front-York-University intersection, and a patio in summer. It also occasionally served Fazenda Vista Alegre as a daily special. I think their FVA roast may have been exclusive to the chain, too -- it had a distinct cherry flavour that isn't mentioned in the reviews of other FVAs online. The chain (Second Cup) was the first chain in Canada or the States to purchase directly from plantations.

Will have to look up Fazenda Vista Alegre. My coffee tastes are mundane, but my husband likes to explore.

There donèt seem to be any Second Cups in the Bay Area, unfortunately.
