Junction Triangle

Although I've been excited to see the recent openings of indie cafes/restaurants in the Junction Triangle, I've been thoroughly disappointed with Toronto Coffee Company on Lansdowne. The first time I went in, I ordered an espresso as a measuring stick. Needless to say, I came away unimpressed. It tasted like something that would come out of a generic Saeco machine one would find at home. Not wanting to give up on a place in the neighborhood and one so conveniently located near a subway station, I tried a second time with a cappuccino. Once again, the same results. The milk was extremely hot(which is not the temp you want for a cappuccino) and again, the espresso shot was weak. Are these people even trained baristas or is it the worrying trend of indie coffee places popping up with reclaimed wood furniture, and hipster girls at the counter trying to counteract the fact that they don't do coffee well. I will say, the pastries I have tried there are decent, but I doubt they are baked in house. Sad. I wanted so much for you to be better Toronto Coffee Company. If the name implies you represent our city's coffee, please stop.
