The Common

Sweet little place with free wireless but more importantly, divine coffee and banana hot-chocolate in the cold months. Just east of Dufferin on College (don't blink, might miss it on south side). Cool owner, great music, minimalist/shabby chic decor, communal atmosphere. Might end up sharing a table. It's a perfect spot to go after hanging out with your urchins at Dufferin Grove or for an intimate meeting with a fellow arts group members. (After which you can wander just east to Marquee Video.)

Great coffee, fast wifi and a nice little neighborhood to hang out it.

the most delicious coffee i've ever had in this city. doubly enjoyable because it's fair trade and organic. they also carry a wide range of loose tea. the actual space is tiny but adorable, with a shabby-chic decor, free wireless, and a huge window overlooking college street. a real hipster coffee bar.

it so strong, it actually tastes like coffee
