14.May.2012 BIKE LANE APPRECIATION DAY MAY 20TH

So it appears as though the good weather is here to stay, as has been marked by the swarms of cyclists along the Harbord Bike Lane.

Our neighbors Speakeasy Tattoo and us at the Coffee Bar want to welcome you back to the road, and promote awareness of our beloved Bike Lane.

So here’s the deal.

1. Bike to Speakeasy and Sam James Coffee Bar on Harbord street.

2. Go to the BBQ, and get a bite to eat.

3. Get your picture taken with your bike, and you’ll get a ticket for a free coffee.

4. Go inside and get yourself that free coffee.

5. Get back on that bike and enjoy some wind in your hair.

This event is for cyclists only, so no diss if you roll up in your Jeep and cant get a free cob of corn and a cappuccino, but you should really just get a bike, its Toronto man!

If you are a regular at the Harbord store, you definitely recognize, and likely know Josh.

Josh is a BOSS when it comes to making coffee, keeping a smile on, making everybody laugh, and managing the store.

Dag, I must have shot this almost a year ago now, I almost forgot about it.

Saw this while scrounging around the internet. Just a little opinion piece on what I like an espresso to be.

I dont give a fuck what anybody says, Vice is still and always has been the shit.

Proof: Julia Kennedy writes a column, Sidemouth, rounding all the bases, and keeping it based.

We met up last week for some beers with Jeremy and chewed fat.

01.Apr.2012 Button up

Some of you may remember the annual project between SJCB and Oasis Skateboard Factory, a small high school program with some of the smartest and most interesting young people Ive ever met.

In the past the students have all designed skateboard graphics, as well as buttons for the coffee shop, and the staff and customers vote for which one will be the button for the year at the coffee shop.

This year had some excellent designs, alas there can only be 1 chosen.

Peep the link to see some pics from last week when the whole crew came up for some coffees on the house, and to hear me award 1st prize to the winner.

Looking forward to the buttons coming soon!
