Coffee is the perfect social drink - business meetings, weekend brunches and friends' catch-ups are mostly done over a steaming cup of joe. In particular, I love to pair coffee or a latte with my desserts or pastries.
Here is a pic taken at Maman Toronto at First Canadian Place. I absolutely love their French dessert pie and it was heavenly to pair with a cup of coffee:
Another pic was taken at Millie Patisserie & Creamery on Oxley Street. Their Japanese Matcha Millie Crepe Cake was to die for. Again, this cake pairs very well with a cup of latte:
The last pic captures my almond latte and pastry ordered from Ricarda on Peter Street. Their bakery section makes excellent coffee and bake goods:
Unfortunately, for me, I have been undergoing coffee withdrawal for the last few months and possibly for the next year due to pregnancy and future plan to breastfeed.
I know there are decaffeinated coffee as well as researches that support it is okay for pregnant and breast-feeding mamas to have coffee. But, I am never a fan of decaf and I had already promised my husband that I won't be tempted (a promise is a promise, right!)
Oh well oh well, to remember the good old days when I can coffee, I was going through and organizing some of my coffee photos - I used to love photographing all the amazing coffee spots in Toronto.
Come think about it, we are very lucky as Torontonians because our city has an abundance of coffee shops to tend to its incredibly vibrant coffee culture.
Therefore, I came up with this idea to create a Toronto Coffee Shop series and to feature all my favourite spots here on my Steemit Blog to allow myself to remember the good old days, lol.
And, for those of you who either live in town or travelling to Toronto, I hope it may provide you with a good list and to experience some of the local coffee spots that I truly enjoy.
Here is me, doing a selfie with my latte at Forget Me Not in Toronto. I truly miss the good old days (sigh):
