Crema Coffee Co. - 3079 Dundas St W



Okay so, I know I’m from Canada and have lived here my entire life so I’m very much aware that complaining about the cold weather seems pretty redundant. But for once, I’m not going to complain about the fact that two days ago it was -41 and I missed my bus and had to walk to work. No, I’ll complain more about that another day. Instead, today I’m going to talk about an actual benefit of the cold weather, which would be that it has been the driving force behind discovering all these random, but great coffee shops. There is something completely different about entering a coffee shop in the winter compared to the summer. It’s just so much more satisfying in the winter. Summer is more about discovering ice cream parlors.

Located in The Junction (like Locomotive) lies Crema Coffee Co. I’ve been to this coffee shop numerous times, mostly due to the fact that I used to work across the street. The best thing about this coffee shop is the consistency of their coffee. I have no idea what kind of soymilk they use but it always tastes amazing (much better than what I get at Starbucks). To keep it simple, I usually get a soy latte. I always tell myself each time I go to try something different, but I crave the soy latte and always inevitably end up getting that. I usually never drink soymilk, but because I prefer my coffee without sweetener, the soymilk provides a natural nutty flavour to my latte, which I love so much.

This location opened in 2008 and at times can be busy with families, but for the most part it’s a great place to go enjoy a cup of coffee while catching up on some homework (yes, they have free Wi-Fi) or hanging out with friends. The Junction consists of many coffee shops that I’m sure each possesses their own unique element. Take a walk down Dundas Street West and you’ll be pleasantly surprised what you’ll discover.
