Place to meet for coffee near Downsview Subway Station?

[Romana]

Can anyone recommend a place to meet for coffee near Downsview Subway Station which isn't a Tim Hortons or Second Cup? I am not familiar with the area at all.

Thanks!

Rimini Cafe and Bar at 918 Sheppard Avenue West. Its about a 5 min walk from Downsview subway. Its an Italian place so I guess they would have cappucino/espresso etc. I have no idea if this place is any good because I've never been there, but,I know that its been there for years. As noted above, if you want to go a little further east, there is a Country Style and The Times Square Diner at the corner of Sheppard and Wilson Heights.

Are you looking for walking distance or is a short bus/car ride okay? Because there's just very little in walking distance to Downsview at all. Basically, there's a couple of things at the corner of Sheppard and Wilson Heights -- a Country Style, and, I think, a diner of some kind on the other side of Wilson Heights.

There might be something new open in the condo development across the street, I'm not sure. There wasn't anything open last time I drove by, but some businesses looked like they were starting to set up.

If a short bus ride is okay, and Starbucks is more acceptable than Second Cup, there's one at Steeles & Dufferin (that bus ride is only short outside rush hour, however, the rest of the time, it sucks). Another west at Bathurst and Sheppard.

How about a Country Style Donuts?

You can use GOOGLE maps o see what is in the area. (not much) You should consider meeting at Yonge and Sheppard if that is a possibility as there is more to choose from.

I'm not too familiar with the area so I'm not much help. But from what I remember the few times I've been around... yeesh, good luck.
