NOT Ajisen (cheap ramen) or Kinton (super salty). maybe Sansotei, Santouka or Momofuku? Raijin is also decent
No. that's for wimps, white people and asian girls
#teamwinter FTW
Face it Tiger..

*salute* and this winter has been the best one in a while.
well...when you have heat allergies like me, #TeamWinter is the way to go
Well, I was going to do a run off poll for the new thread title, but it looks like one is clearly standing out.
Welcome! Generic Asian and #TeamWinter. You'll fit right in.

I like you. Let's be friends.
I voted generic Asian!
Back like a decade ago when I first started visiting Toronto I swear that was the case. Country Style was EVERYWHERE downtown with nay a Tim's to be found. I haven't seen one in years though. Did they go bankrupt over competition from Krispy Kreme, Tim's, SBux and 7-11?

There's too much good coffee in this city. None of the good stuff needs uttering "double double" when ordering.

There is a really good Country Style I go to regularly near the Stockyards mall.
They have some great crullers there and the donuts and other treats are generally larger and taste better. The drink selection is also superior.
A lot of the Country Style locations seem to be doubled up with convenience stores or Mr. Sub locations so you don't get their full selection unfortunately.

That's right. I order just one cream anyways.

What's good at Country Style?
When I was first hunting for an apartment in the city, I noticed that if there was a Coffee Time in the neighbourhood you probably didn't want to live there.
And speaking of coffee, has anyone been to the newly reno'ed 'flagship' Second Cup?

Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition -- MB-F545BFD264487685
A game from almost twenty years ago, which coincidentally was released the same year that construction started on the harbourfront.
This.
I would walk by it all the time on the way to work but never went in because Second Cup is brutal.
Coffee Time and Country Style are also pretty awful.

I can confirm, you are a generic Asian!
Man, that almost sounds like the "the one problem I have with this game is that it's too good" D:
I'm not sure I'd say 'good' but there's certainly a lot of places that have better coffee than that crap that everyone drowns in cream and sugar from Tim's.
edit: ok, he's supporting #teamwarm...kinda?
IS THIS YOU, EM?! >: (
Interesting concept; I hope it takes off. I doubt it'll do much impact on Starbucks though. If Starbucks is the 'higher end", McDs/Tims is the "lower end", and all the indies are "alternative mid to high end", what is Second Cup striving to become? They could become the next Coffee Time if they don't succeed, which is surprising considering the profit margins on a cup of coffee.
There used to be a Coffee Time in downtown Oshawa which was known by locals as 'Crack Time', primarily due to the interesting clientele. What draws Coffee Time's more dedicated regulars there instead of Tim Horton's? Is it the price? Free refills? Lack of loitering rules? Unwillingness to call police?
Anyway, belated Welcome Back, EvilMario. And a Happy New Year to everyone.
Not all of them have changed (like the one by my work @ King/Bathurst or the two @Spadina/Bloor). though there's one at the corner of King/John that looks really nice now
I have Volgarr the Viking on my wishlist, but if I claim it that's just another title to throw on my endless backlog. I'd rather someone claim it who would actually play it.
Indeed. I thought it was going to be a chain wide change, but it appears this is more of an experiment (after disappointing fiscal results) than anything.
What's your issue with Coffee Time? Their shops have character.
But I don't want Duke Nukem and I've never heard of the other game.
If you have PlayStation plus, you're getting it anyway.
You'll take your Duke and like it.
Well, their muffins are not for everyone. Photo of one below. And their coffee is at the Tim's / McDonald's level of 'must add copious amounts of cream and sugar to make tolerable'. But yes.. character.. that's something.

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux --
A redux of a classic game, like a redux of a classic Toronto-GAF conversation about hamburgers, except this game doesn't come out every three days.
Well, their muffins are not for everyone. Photo of one below. And their coffee is at the Tim's / McDonald's level of 'must add copious amounts of cream and sugar to make tolerable'. But yes.. character.. that's something.
i hate drinking coffee black, yet i can stand McD's ones though
it's at least better than the crap they had before McCafe started appearing
There is clearly nobody like that.
If it's sitting there by this time tomorrow, I'll claim it and even play it for ten minutes!

Country Style is what I imagine Second Cup to be like in 10 years. Grimy ass shops full of old and sketchy looking people. All the Second Cups I walk by always seem to have this early 90s look and not in a good way but in a sad, CIBC branch kind of way.
Also, ordering a double double is shameful.

Who's ignoring? If you want to enter, it's a PM. We've already discussed that we think ModBot is EvilMario or someone who has a surprisingly in-depth knowledge of burg-Toronto.
Not ten whole minutes! That's more time than the Leafs spent in the offensive zone last game! D:

Not sure i'd recommend St Lawrence market for groceries, but go there to look around and get lunch some time.
Thankfully, I have Rashers near my place in Leslieville, so I'm fully represented when it comes to bacon sandviches.
YOU ASKED FOR THIS, CAT! YOU! >: (
i buy all my fresh food at st lawrence. its actually cheaper than say loblaws or longos. far better too. family run business, most. great place to shop every week.
of course you need to live near by, but i would fully recommend doing your weekly shop there.
srs. it's lovely

Yeah, if you live near there.
I hope your bike gets stuck in a frozen ditch >=[
I hope you slip on ice and land on Kraftwerk's bike in the ditch >=[
