Like most places in the west end of Toronto its conveniently located if you don’t drive, otherwise you will need to find parking. The store is very clean and well lit like your average Starbucks. The staff were not too talkative or welcoming. Maybe if I was a regular it would be different. I ordered a cappuccino to stay and was not overly impressed. No design in my crème :-(and it was not that hot. They made the drink a lot quicker than I thought it would take so I should not be surprised. I have not hit up a Starbucks in Canada for quite some time and thought I would give them a chance, oh well.

Nice new shiny Starbucks that replaced a sub-par Italian bakery on the Dufferin side of Corso D’Italia on St Clair. Is it a sure sign of gentrification to come? Probably. Considering all the mom and pop shops in the area seem to be selling out and they are putting a shoppers drugmart across the street. Hopefully they don’t bulldoze all the old Portuguese and Italian character of this hood that make it unique. All that being said, its a Starbucks. Love it or hate it, its got all kind of sugary drinks masqueradeing as coffee. Its also pretty standard so no matter what location you are at, the coffee is always the same. I have to admit I’m partial to the Vanilla Bean latte but don’t really like the coffee at all.
