Manic Mother Fuckin' Mania!!

Maybe not the most appropriate post title when trying to big up the newly opened, and staffed up with true hippie speedballers, Manic Coffee, at 426 College @ Bathurst.

But it is MF'n mania o'er there, so I'm allowed to.

It has been 2 weeks already since we opened, and I have worked the shop every single day, yet somehow it doesn't even feel like its been 2 weeks.

I'm really feelin' it at the shop, it's getting better every day.
New equipment arrives, new products, new coffees!
We learn something, or have to re-evaluate and go back to square one all the time, and the same awesome customers keep coming back.

I think people in that area were really waiting for something like this, something that would not only fill the void, but overflow it with excellence.

New staff members slowly squirming in, getting some intense, but empowering training.
It's been great to see a person acquire a taste for espresso within a couple of days, to see those epiphanies happen, where the eyes widen, the light goes on, and they know something they had been struggling to figure out.

I feel like it has also made me go back to basics with how I make espresso, and relearn some things I had only known in theoretical knowledge, but was unable to fully use in practice with the equipment, and environment I was in before.

I have also been really stoked to work with my good buddy Nick.
Shout outs buddy!!
It's been really awesome to have talked a lot about coffee with Nick in the year previous to us and Matt opening this shop up, and then now working together, it feels pretty good with the two of us on bar, I feel like lots of great drinks go out, that makes me happy.

Anyways, most people reading have already been by for a coffee, if not, please do, you wont have a better cup anywhere in Toronto.

And you won't see better mustaches, or hear more Queen anywhere else.

Bye.
