“Ninja Bike”

After a very long drive back from Niagara, my girlfriend looked in our rearviewmirror and declared that a ninja was tailing us.

I snapped this pic and the next thing I know the guy is beside my open passenger window congenially asking if I got a good shot.

Appropriately, his bike’s model name was Ninja.

“This Latté’s Rosetta is Good to the Last Drop” – Te Aro Coffee, Toronto

So I’d hear about this new coffee shop in Leslieville and decided to check it out a while ago.

The barista at Te Aro made me this kick-ass latt?? with a rosetta so solid it damn near imprinted itself on the bottom of the mug. Now that’s craftsmanship!

Check out Te Aro online or in-person – I recommend the latter…and the latt??. (Ha! – Did you see what I did there? Did ya? Did ya?…yeah I’m lame.)
