Riverside

Marking the threshold between downtown and the east end is a bridge that crosses the Don River. Just beyond, is a cluster of local haunts on the verge of something amazing. It's a sincere part of town, with burgeoning businesses, unpretentious cuisine, and stunning design. These folks are the early adopters, carving their place in the city's most up-and-coming community.

This is pretty much as close to perfection as it gets. Outstanding, perfectly brewed third-wave coffee in the daytime, and beautifully curated wine and whiskey lists at night. The space is absolutely stunning, with custom-build salvaged wood and exposed copper piping throughout. These guys Get coffee, with a heavy rotation of beans from roasters like The Barn, 49th Parallel, George Howell, etc. Ask any of their baristas and they will give you a thorough rundown of everything they're brewing, with zero pretension. Sweets are often care/of Bakeshop in the west end (pop tarts and blow-torched marshmellows, anyone?). Respec' for the establishment that designs the bathroom with the same attention to detail as every other part of their establishment.
