Balzac's Coffee Address: 55 Mill Street (Building 60)
Neighbourhood: Distillery District
(website)
Nestled in the eastern pocket of downtown Toronto, in the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, comes the second location of Balzac's Coffee. Taking refuge in the old Pump building (established in 1895) the building known as #60 has been transformed into a two-storey high ceiling, open space cafe.
Having their original location in Stratford, Ontario - they've now expanded to a 5 cafe local chain within Ontario. They do their own roasting with a 12kg micro-roaster, and blend there own espresso of 5+ different origins. The Cafe itself has high ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers, with a long staircase leading up to an upstairs nook where there are couches, lounge chairs and more circular tables.
The Main floor has a lot of small table enough for 4, with their signature wicker type chairs. During the warmer months the marble tables are placed outdoors for a great courtyard experience, to do Toronto's favourite past time: people watch.
This was not my first trip, but decided to actually do a proper review for the site.
Doser: unknown
Turnover: Moderate traffic (sit in and take-out)
Seasonal fluctuations - definitely busier on the weekends
Beans: FTO Espresso Blend (Fair Trade Organic)
Music Chill, Indie, Jazz
Verdict: At first the cup had a great aroma of sweet floral and cocoa, but as I stirred the espresso that sweet smell turned acidic. Upon first sip, the acid overpowered any subtle hints of chocolate. No character, little body, and didn't taste good.
I see not much has changed since I visited 2 years ago... Rememberable only as a place to avoid, despite the architecture:
