I'm sorry to hear you say that. But nespresso cafés are gorgeous. A mom and pop coffee store cannot afford yorkville. Nor it is a place for that type of café to be. There's plenty of other places in the city. So it's OK!!

There's several indie coffee shops in Yorkville.
Next cycle--2020s I think--this will become a great 30s "funky" infill project.

Zaza espresso, Yorkville espresso bar.
And if you want to stretch it slightly beyond mom and pop coffee spots there's also Lettieri, Balzac's & Crepes a Go Go.

I noticed Zaza has opened in Bloor West Village. Last time I went (first day they opened in Yorkville) I wasn't impressed.

There's also The Coffee Mill, a Viennese style place at 99 Yorkville that has been there since Biblical times.

I've visited Nespresso stores overseas and I can't imagine what they're going to do with all this space. Nestle has an abysmal record for environmental stewardship -- they should turn this into a massive recycling facility for all the disposable aluminum pod waste they generate.
Yeah, none of those are really on the radar in terms of third-wave coffee. Best espresso in the area would be the small Crema Coffee Co attached to Freshii next to Bloor-Yonge station. Worth the walk if you want espresso that isn't over-extracted from stale beans.

They do take their capsules back for recycling, for those who bother to return them. Initially we got one of their machines at the office to replace our super-automatic (no running water = no regular espresso machine). Then I bought one for myself as I got tired of fighting with my own machine and grinder only to get inferior results. But when I go out I want the real thing, not capsule coffee.
