Ideal Coffee
Nope, that's not a witty headline, that's the name of the coffee house. Nestled in a tiny box of what was probably meant to be a house in Kensington Market, Ideal Coffee makes some of the best coffee in the city. Ideal's coffee is organic and local. The baristas use Italian coffee presses and make full bodied espressos and Americanos.
Do not expect Starbucks. The milk and sugar sit on the counter in kitchen containers and real spoons are used instead of stir sticks. Despite the decrepit furniture, shabby atmosphere and tiny space, Ideal has the ideal patio for low-key coffee drinking and people watching this spring and summer.
