COPS

toronto's specialty coffee scene has gotten genuinely interesting over the last few years, with pockets of quality showing up in neighbourhoods that weren't on anyone's radar a decade ago. cops, tucked behind adelaide street west with a rear entrance on morrison, is one of those places that locals have quietly figured out. the adelaide and morrison corridor sits in the middle of king west, which means you're surrounded by a lot of noise and foot traffic, and cops operates at a remove from all that, which seems intentional. it's well regarded among people who pay attention to this stuff, and that reputation hasn't been built on spectacle. if you find yourself in the area on a weekday morning, the rear entrance on morrison is worth the extra thirty seconds to locate.
