Kensington Market |
| |
| Tim Hortons is the Krispy
Kreme of Canada. If there were ever a coffee company
which symbolizes pure evil, it would be Starb...err,
sorry, habit. It would be Tim Hortons. The worst coffee
I ever had was at Tim Hortons. Kensington Market symbolizes
everything that Tim Hortons does not, wholesome food,
real people, reasonable prices, and excellent coffee.
I had the two best cappuccinos of my life at Kensington
Market in Toronto. |

Kensington Market
is a colorful little market area about 15 minutes
by foot from downtown where you can buy bulk fresh
roasted coffee beans, bulk fresh baked bread, bulk
fresh roasted nuts, inexpensive work boots, clothes
and tools, whole foods, and some of the best espresso
drinks
anywhere.

This Super 88
has nothing to do with Kensington, except that it
seems
to live there
and I liked it. |

Hooliator loves coffee
and is likely to judge a country by it's cappuccino.
Italy was
#1 until I went to Toronto. The new #2 cappuccino
is at the place that sells the nuts at Kensington
Market. The best cappuccino I have ever had was at
Ideal Coffee, pictured to the left. Italy has fallen
to #3. France is still last, because some things
just never change.
Not only do they use a real Italian espresso press,
they have some of the coolest furnture of any coffee
house I've ever been to. I had my laptop set up on
an old sit down Galaga arcade game. |

Ideal Coffee
roasts their own beans, uses a real Italian espresso
press, has comfortable
furniture, a laid back crowd who will actually talk
to strangers, and for their iced drinks instead of
ice cubes, they use coffee cubes! This place is what
a coffee house ought to be. It actually is
ideal. And the coffee is really good.
To see the nice girl make the super-charged iced
latte, click on the picture. |
