Shy Coffee Co.

Just a few doors East of StartWell on King Street West in Toronto sits a lovely little espresso bar called Shy Coffee Co.

This unique cafe is small in size yet big in atmosphere. Interiors are tastefully designed - featuring marble bistro tables, tiled floors, ceiling fans and unique woodwork along the walls, all making for a classic European cafe vibe.

In summer months Shy has a street patio with limited seating - its a great place to take a break in the sun whilst staying nearby to your meetings and events at StartWell.
