City Cafe Bakery

Yeah the building looks awful, at least the Charles Street side taken from the iXpress.

The Ottawa Street side looks just as bad.

I wish they wouldn't have touched this and waited until LRT was underway and then built some sort of mixed use project here. Although you'll never hear me complain about another location for City Cafe.

You never know what the future may bring, maybe someday they will incorporate a city cafe in the lobby of small a LRT station at that corner, or do something similar to what 247 King st north is promising to do build a large development and then bring the existing retail tenants back to fill the base of the building.

I visited City Cafe Bakery for the first time today (the victoria and strange location), I have to say I was very impressed with the enviroment, very urban, I think a downtown/uptown location would do wonders. I could see something like this being very successfully at a large transit station.

Apparently the rent in Waterloo is just too high, according to one of the bakers.

Ya I can see them being very successful in that location, now, and even more when LRT starts up. It's just too bad it's not in a better development.
