While we are fans of I Deal Coffee, it’s nice to have new neighbours on the street, and another place to go for morning (or even afternoon) coffee.
This morning “Crafted” opened in the location where Get Real used to be at 135 Ossington. It is the newest location for the entrepreneurs behind Te Aro Roasted in Leslieville.
We stopped by this afternoon and tried a few of their blends – an iced tea which had a delicious peachy flavour and a cold filtered iced coffee. The people behind Crafted enjoy experimenting with different ways of brewing coffee and have a very funky machine which looks a bit like something I might have played with in a university chemistry class for making the cold filtered coffee. 
(I’m hoping there won’t be too much caffeine in it or else I’m going to be up all night)
Although they are still shopping for some furniture the interior is already comfortable with warm unfinished wood paneling and a nice table where people can congregate and work – and they even have free WiFi. There’s also a back patio area with a herb garden as a place to enjoy a coffee outdoors.
If you want to buy some of their specialty roasted coffee to take home, you can pack it up and take it with you.
They promised to be teaching some classes and having specialty coffee tastings and they’d tell us about. So keep an eye on the blog for upcoming events at Crafted.
In the meantime, stop by and welcome our newest business to the neighbourhood.
