Wild Thing opened last month on the corner of Borden and Harbord. The shop serves up high quality espresso with organic milk, along with homemade gelato and grilled sandwiches. This is a great place to meet a friend or do some work. Soon there will be wi-fi and there are a few sockets to plug in laptops. The space is bright and clean with lots of tables.

Not only is this place great for adults, they have also built a kiddie area with a table to draw on, and equipped the ladies bathrooms with baby changing tables. How thoughtful.

But wait, there’s more.

The delicious gelato is made without the typically-used chemicals (called stabilizer), and contains fresh fruits rather than prepackaged pastes. The milk and sugar are organic. They even serve the gelato in biodegradable cups.

I’ll be back for more gelato… and coffee.
