Twenty years on the same corner.
La Barista has poured espresso on St Clair Avenue East for over two decades — long enough that regulars order by nod and the morning queue knows one another's names. It is small, it is independent, and it is run by the same hands that open up each morning.
“The good morning before the day starts.”
No chain playbook, no app. Just a warm room, an honest shot of espresso, a tray of pastries from the case and a sandwich pressed while you wait. Step in off the avenue, grab a stool, and stay a while.
