Review

Drink of Choice: Latte, $3.58

Redfish BlueFish Creative Cafe is near Spadina Station and is popular among parents and their children and mothers-to-be! Of course, everyone is welcome to enjoy their stay here. Luckily, I arrived when it wasn't too busy. Every week, there are different programs being offered for both children and adults. They have events such as drama, crafts, and yoga. You can see what events are happening during the month on their website. The cafe provides toys, crafts, and books for the children to use during their stay.

One of their specialty drinks is the Fluffy, which is steamed milk that you can add a flavour shot to if you wish. They also have nut-free snacks available for children who have nut allergies. Most of the food available is delivered in fresh everyday by Foodbenders. Some of the salads and sandwiches are made in-house by the cafe.

Overall, the cafe is a great space to bring children and it provides parents with something new to do. It gives both the parents and children the opportunity to interact with others and create new friendships! As well, the cafe no longer uses stamp cards but if you have one from the past, they will honour it.

Review

Drink of Choice: Cappuccino, $3.50

The Good Neighbour Espresso Bar is one of my favourite cafes I've been to prior to this blog. It's spacious and as you can see, great big windows for plenty of sunshine and happy weather (when it's much warmer). This is the only cafe I've been to in the Junction to this date. Now that I have "re-discovered" it as I'm making these Incomplete Review posts, I hope to revisit in the future.

Review

Drink of Choice: Mokafrappa, $4.50

I went to this Montreal cafe in May of 2012. Unfortunately as you can see, this is another incomplete review. Either way, the Mokafrappa was delicious so definitely try it out if you get the chance. I probably won't be returning to this cafe any time soon.
