4. Tango Palace Coffee Company
Tango Palace Coffee Company
Tango Palace has been a Leslieville staple since it opened more than 15 years ago. While it’s among one of many, many coffee shops along the street, it still manages to stand out. The worn and aged exterior opens into a warm and welcoming lounge filled with antique chairs, stained glass lamps (complete with 20s flapper-style frill on the lamp shades) and eclectic art. There’s also a generously stocked food display, filled with sweets and pastries to satisfy that sweet tooth and accompany your coffee. In the summer months, be sure to take advantage of their small sheltered patio out back. Tango Place offers a wide selection of coffee, brewed in what seems to be either an incredibly old machine, or something out of a more resourceful yet damaged future. Step inside, cozy up in a chair and sip the day away, Tango Palace will keep you company, even if you don’t bring your own.
