Sorry Coffee
Sorry Coffee Co. is a cafe found at the back of the Kit and Ace store on Bloor St. It also has an entrance on Critchley Lane if you don't want to walk through the store.
I'm told the cafe is supposed to have more of an "Ace" feel, with its black chevron wall tiles and a gorgeous custom copper La Marzocco sitting on the marble countertop.
Its name is a playful nod to Canadian politeness, as the stereotype says we tend to apologize all the time, and as my friend and I prove is true since we realize we've inadvertently said "sorry" about five times since we've arrived. This is the second Sorry ever (another that closed was found in a Kit and Ace shop in London, England), but the first in Canada.
Genuine tea ($3.25) and Rosso coffee are served in signature cups that serve as a blank canvas for local artists who are chosen to design a Sorry logo (currently by graphic designer/art director Lis Xu), and like the gallery wall, it'll change up every few months.
Coffee shop director Vica Pelivan and coffee lead Gaya Liou have a straightforward menu of espresso-based beverages (espresso/Americano, $3.50; flat white, $4.25; cappuccino, $4.50; latte, $4.85) made with Rosse white label single origin from Burundi, which is created exclusively for Sorry.
Baked goods are from Motherdough, with a choice between croissant ($3.25) or pain au chocolat ($3.50).
Sorry Coffee can be found in the Kit and Ace on Bloor.
