Gino's Coffee Bar

You'll walk into Gino's and immediately feel like you've stumbled into someone's neighbourhood spot rather than a commercial venture. It's got that authentic Italian coffee bar energy—the kind where the owner knows everyone's name and the machine's been pulling shots the same way for decades. The counter's worn in all the right places, and you'll find yourself wedged between regulars nursing tiny espressos and debating last night's football. Your cappuccino arrives properly proportioned (not some Instagram-friendly bucket), and the pastries are straightforward rather than fussed-over. It's unpretentious in the best possible way.
