A great new hangout has opened it’s doors in Parkdale. Capital Espresso offers a beautiful sunlit space to muffin eaters, coffee and tea drinkers alike. The corner space has high ceilings, a chunky wood bar, wood tables and exposed brick. The music that wafts through the air is current and delightful. They offer free wifi but few places to charge your laptop. Makes for a lovely morning. They are open from 7 to 7 on weekdays and 8 to 7 on weekends.

Cafe Novo is a lovely little spot to stop in and do some reading while drinking a nice hot beverage. It’s a recent addition to Bloor Street across from the High Park, making it a very convenient stop en route to the playground. They make homemade scones and other delicious looking baked goods on the premises. Yumm. There is a big table in the back, and free wifi making it a nice work spot as well.

Enoteca Sociale brings you the quality of food that you find at Pizzaria Libretto with less pizza and more homemade pasta and italian grandma’s cooking. The owners of Libretto opened up this new spot on Dundas earlier this year and it took me a while to check it out… but when I did I thought it was quite charming. It’s a social neighbourhood wine bar with delicious food. The environment is casual and unpretentious, with an old school italian tile floor and cozy finishing touches.
