Super friendly staff who know their way around the espresso machine. Food is great and the vibe is relaxed. Get there early or you'll be lined up. Great coffee, fast wifi and a nice little neighborhood to hang out it. Manic is the espresso lovers coffee shop. They use Intelligentsia beans (http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/), which I haven't been able to get since leaving Vancouver, and the baristas assemble their drinks with great pride. I think I actually recognize one of the baristas from Cafe Artigiano in Vancouver - which serves quite possibly the best espresso coffee in the country. If you love espresso, go here. Quickly! Swan 892 Queen W, Toronto Swan is right accross the road from home so we go there a lot. The menu is small and meat centric, but very good. The oysters are fresh and fabulous and the wine list is good. The real reason we like Swan so much though is the service - consistently fantastic. Great music, great food and a great vibe. Every saturday from 4-7ish a fantastic Gypsy jazz band hang out here. The place is tiny and the singer/horn player serves the drinks. Consistently great espresso drinks from baristas who know there stuff. Seating outside is nice in the summer Showing Results 1-8 of 8 1
