The future of coffee shops has arrived in Toronto. Robo cafes have popped up all over the city over the past two years, serving up premium cafe-quality drinks from an automated kiosk.
The robo cafes, called RC Coffee, perform all of the functions of a human barista but are completely contactless and open 24/7, so you can get your caffeine fix at any time of the day or night.
“RC Coffee provides the real authentic espresso experience that you’re accustomed to receiving from a premium café, in a convenient and modernized service like you’ve never encountered before,” the description says.
