Indie Coffee Shop Hoppin - Red Rocket Coffee (Leslieville)

Red Rocket Coffee [Leslieville]
1402 Queen Street E 



This place is INTENSE! Or at least... that's how I remember it! 

This is the original Red Rocket Coffee location located in Leslieville on Queen Street East. Really awesome atmosphere in this place. They were playing The New Pornographers! You know a place is good when... 



Now, I had no idea what to order, so I asked for their suggestion. Bad choice (or good?).
The barista recommended their "Red Rocket", which is a double espresso with a dark roast coffee and some chocolate syrup. Now, when he was first explaining this to me, I wasn't really paying attention. I really should have been. I was HIGH off that drink from 2pm to 10pm. I worked that evening, and even my co-workers were asking me if I was "alright". Apparently I was very very happy to be there... 


I also had a lovely cheese scone. It was delicious!!! 

I absolutely loved this place. People working there were great, customers were pretty cool (some Canadian actors came in and seemed to be regulars!), and the feeling in the room was just very relaxed. 

I'd totally recommend Red Rocket in Leslieville for studying, meeting with friends, and enjoying a very strong cup of Joe! Also, I think it would be cute for dates :) 

5/5 Smiles!
