Saffron Matcha
Curator’s note
Bill Germanis inherited his father's small cleaning company in Toronto at 23, after his father's unexpected death, and built it into a facility management firm hundreds of employees strong. KAFE is where his other interests, architecture, design, fashion, music, food and culture, finally have a home, and each room is numbered instead of named for its street, a timestamp and a signature.
The Coffee
The bar runs in three collections: the Essential for espresso drinks, drip and cold brew, the Signature for house builds like the Blacktop (espresso, whole milk, cinnamon, cardamom, date syrup, Greek yogurt and charcoal) and the North Latte with maple and smoked salt, and the Curated for espresso, cortado, cold brew and pour-over priced by the cup at market rate. The roastery's bags sell online, all roasted light, from the KAFE Blend 86 of Peru, Ethiopia and Colombia up to a washed Colombia 94 Pitalito Geisha.
The Vibe
Broskin Studio designed the room at KAFE 001 around a sculptural island of foam and silicone against steel panels, behind a plain concrete front beside the pink Paul Smith boutique, and its white walls go to a rotating creative feature above a round steel pedestal table.
