Starbucks

This location set for closure at the end of august 2015
Is my favourite local starbucks.

This is my local neighbourhood Starbucks, and it’s always hustling and bustling. The barrista’s are good, the service is good, and the vibe is good. Although it’s located on a busy corner, there is a nice patio space on the Sydenham St side, which is a nice place to catch some shade and bring out the book or laptop. I find that normally the chairs and tables are filled with eager students /​professionals busy on laptops, but that dosen’t mean it’s not a good place to hang out with a book or catch up with a friend. Just know that there will be a lot of keyboards clacking in the background!

Located upstairs in the Indigo bookstore, this is the location to lounge in. You can browse the stacks, kick back and enjoy the view of Princess from the upstairs windows and people watch. Seating options can become limited but then you’re just relegated to finding a seat in the stacks. Quieter and a good study center if you’re looking to caffeinate and read.
