Quite honestly, the only positive thing about peeling my PJs off before 6:30 AM is the fact that I'm sometimes rewarded with the stunning gradients of a pre-sunrise sky. Sometimes.

As a result of the desire to familiarize myself with up-and-coming happenings in the transportation and municipal construction sectors, I excused myself immediately upon the termination of class and sped downtown.
Considering that a fellow K-Pop friend of mine happened to be making her way over later in the day, I concluded that there was no better opportunity to check out Sorry Coffee in Yorkville.

It's not easy to spot this tiny space from the south side of Bloor, as it's joined to the back of minimalist apparel shop Kit and Ace. Spaces are few, and outlets even fewer. I predict the maximum capacity to hover around twelve; a strip of bar stools and two shorter tables with window sills as seats make up the entirety of the seating area.
Decor is intriguing enough: the hints of bronze and gold allow the shop to appeal to the more laidback crowd of the high-profile shopping area. Thin wires forming abstract geometric shapes provide a cohesive property through its prominent usage in chairs and light fixture casings.

Originally, I had wanted to try a taste of their baked goods along with a cup of java. To my dismay, the only products available had been croissants, and they had long been sold out before I made my chaotic, tote-bag-carrying entrance.
Temperatures had gradually risen over the course of the day, so I was leaning towards an iced tea over a steamy latte. Though, the aspect that had me irked was that I wouldn't be able to catch a glimpse of the rotating selection of artwork on their cups should I choose a chilly beverage.

Ultimately, I requested a Jasmine Tea with Canadiana syrup (which they forgot to add in), a takeout cup, and a side of ice cubes. As it turned out, they didn't offer their hot teas in cooler forms at all. An order of basic brewed tea totalled just over $3.50 - the equivalent of one third of a box of specialty tea bags.
The atmosphere is great, as was the service friendly. But personally, I found the prices to be a tad steep. Indeed, it was Yorkville after all, though its quality simply didn't reflect.

The final notes of my drink weren't unique. My friend's Latte induced a much more positive response though, so it's also possible that I just opted for the wrong choice.
