ACOFFEE

some mornings, sackville street moves slowly, and that's exactly the pace you want. acoffee sits in collingwood's quieter pocket, far enough from smith street's noise that the place has its own tempo. the regulars here are loyal in the way people get when something consistently holds up, week after week, no dip in quality, no coasting. collingwood has no shortage of specialty spots, so that kind of standing doesn't come free. you're not stopping in because there was nowhere else, you're stopping in because this is the one you came for. the kind of roaster where buying beans to take home makes as much sense as staying for a coffee. worth the detour down sackville, even on a tuesday.
