Qishr Coffee House

somewhere between yonge-dundas square's constant noise and the very real pressure of toronto's downtown core, qishr coffee house holds its ground. dundas square is not a quiet destination, you probably know that, but that's exactly what makes finding a place like this one matter. it's the kind of spot that locals come back to, not because there's nowhere else, but because something here keeps pulling them in. the standing this place has built among its regulars didn't come from foot traffic alone. if you're downtown and need somewhere to land before the city swallows your afternoon, 21 dundas square is a reasonable answer. start with whatever's on the coffee menu that morning.
