Coffee anyone?

Well, we've been in Collingwood for a week now. Here is the week in review.

I've tried several different paths to work to find the quickest route but that really doesn't matter anymore.

My work shoes are not made for walking.

I'd like to know why Anh the Vietnamese dressmaker on Victoria Street gets a delivery of 3 boxes of lettuce on Friday mornings. True story.

For the past week, I have tried to find a decent coffee which isn't more than 5 minutes away. Sure, Smith Street is a mecca of cafes but we're in a semi-awkward position with no shortcuts to Smith Street which translates to cold coffee by the time you get back to work.

On Wednesday, I went to what I *thought* was the recommended coffee place in the area. I was advised that they don't make the best coffee but the service is great. My soy latte was the worst coffee I've had that I can remember. And I've recently had percolated McDonald's coffee too. Turns out it wasn't the place recommended to me after all.

I tried the grumpy cafe on the corner yesterday. I ordered a latte to take away and received a scalding cup of something with chocolate sprinkled on top. Classy.

This morning I went to a bakery on Langridge as it is sort of on my way to work. While it was fun watching the bakers and the service was muchos friendly, the coffee wasn't great. I even bought one for the boss man and thought I had to down two large cups of this stuff before he eventually came in. He is a coffee buff (aficionado, if you will) and while he appreciated the caffeine hit when he walked in, I think he might toss the rest of it.

Today I have to go to the Post Office and pick up some more mail. Mental note: there is no door to door postal delivery so I must remember to not get parcels delivered here. I'm going to look for the hole in the wall that makes the best coffee on Smith Street.

And for anyone working in the north end of the city, I highly recommend Cafe Trubi on the corner of Little Lonsdale and Hardware for the best cup of coffee.

Woo... My body is rejecting this coffee. Gotta go...
