Milky's Cloud Room

the matcha here is worth slowing down for. cloud room sits up on the eleventh floor of a building at bathurst and lake shore, which already puts you somewhere most toronto coffee spots aren't, physically speaking. the local following it's built isn't surprising when you think about what that elevation does to your sense of a tuesday. you're not rushing in and out. the coffee program is taken seriously, and the drinks reflect that without making a performance of it. if you're coming from the waterfront or cutting through fort york, this is a genuine reason to detour north up bathurst. the lattes tend to land well, and the matcha options give you something to come back to when espresso isn't what the afternoon calls for.
