The Simmons Building is where a perfect day comes to a head. Whether you’re walking along the river or checking out the cute local shops, chances are you’ll wrap things up at either Phil and Sebastian for a coffee, a chat and a Danish, or Charbar for dinner. This spot is romantic, warm and pretty quiet, especially considering you’re in one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in the city.

If a little ambiance goes a long way, then how far does a lot go? Loophole has an incredibly warm vintage-type atmosphere and they serve an incredibly tasty cup of Joe. Also, their staff is laid back and they know their craft – just in case you have any questions about their brew.

Loophole Coffee Bar
Caffè Beano is another coffee shop with a devoted following. We’ve hardly ever seen this place without a lineup outside and it’s rightfully earned. From their black coffee to their lattes and specialty drinks, these guys make a mean cup of cozy – but that’s hardly a surprise considering they’ve been in the game for over 30 years.
