If you’re a dog lover but not an owner, this is a great place to get your cuddle fix. Thor Espresso Bar’s patio is crawling with four-legged patrons. This Scandinavian-inspired café welcomes panting pets with refreshed bowls of water throughout the day. Catch some rays on their wooden loungers while savouring a delectable pastry and silky smooth espresso. Afterwards, toss the ball around at Victoria Memorial Park just around the corner.
Thor Espresso’s benched patio might just be the most serene café patio in the city (there’s not been more than four people spotted on there at one time). If you’re looking for workday quiet, this is the one for you. It helps that the WiFi is super speedy, there’s a stack of indie magazines for anyone to read, and the baristas make sure their matcha green tea lattes are always on point.
