Not open Mondays, so I couldn’t try the coffee today, but I’ll be back. The still-nameless venture seems to be off to a bright start. While it was being redecorated, I thought it was destined to be some kind of daycare operation. I’m delighted that it has popped up to offer some competition to Lazy Daisy down the street.
Update:
I got in for my coffee this morning. At the friendly proprietor’s suggestion I held up my trusty Blackberry Playbook and took a picture of the “OPEN” sign… which the café is, Tuesday to Sunday from 8:00 a.m..
The coffee is good, there are fresh baked goodies every day, the place is bright, clean and comfortable, there’s wifi and the service is cheerful. I think I might become a regular. Oh, and the place does have a name… The Flying Pony Café. An installer was working on the exterior sign as I left. 1481 Gerrard Street East, on the southwest corner of Gerrard and Rhodes (near Coxwell).

Oh! I love that paint job on the outside of the coffee shop.
It is so inviting and colourful. Fun place.
Try one of the aged cheddar scones!
Yes the scones are great! So are the rest of the goodies that I have tried. Very happy to welcome Andrew and the rest of his crew to the street!

A delightful addition to the neighbourhood, looking forward to popping in for a brew.
By “brew”, I know you are referring to the brewed coffee, not beer, but for the sake of anyone expecting to get a pint, the place isn’t licensed.
A great place to chill with a book, (bring one, leave one take one, or paper with child, Quiet enough to enjoy the baked goods, and superb coffee with $1. refills.
