Amani Earls Coffee and Tea Bar

When I went to Amani Earls Coffee & Tea Bar, I realized it was the first time I was in The Junction. I absolutely loved the vibe of this neighbourhood and they had a lot of cool spots. When I arrived to the café, I realized that it was about to close. I really wanted to sit and do some homework but instead, I had to grab my drink and go, having only enough time to talk to the owner about his café.
Amani Earls is in a sweet little spot on The Junction strip that offers a variety of items, such as homemade chocolate chip cookies, breakfast sandwiches and smoothies during the summer. Their focus is on the quality of the coffee and use a great grinder to make their drinks. One of their specialty drinks is the Honey Black, which is a cortado with honey at the bottom of the cup. They also have Rosewater Milk. However, their novelty drinks change often and you may not see these the next time you pop by.
I asked about their drinks and the owner talked about the Te Aro. Curious, I was able to try this drink despite it not being on the menu. A Te Aro is steeped coffee mixed with almond milk, cacao, English Breakfast tea, and a dash of vanilla. It was indeed a tasty drink. In fact, English Breakfast is my favourite basic tea since it is one of the few I know that tastes good with milk and sugar.
If you are into café art, they display and sell from a different artist every three months. Amani Earls is simply a cute café in The Junction that you should drop by the next time you are in the area.

Found this small coffeeshop using Indie Coffee Passport. Had a good oolong tea and the girlfriend loved her latte.
Good wifi and owner is friendly to laptop workers. Although seating is limited.
Barista was cool/​friendly.

Amani Earl’s is a small shop that sells a handful of teas, coffees and a few baked goods right across from Malta Park in the west end of The Junction.
The shop does not have air conditioning. On summer afternoons it is not exactly the place to hang around. The coffee I had was decent. The Americano was 2.75 $, as compared to 2 $ down at Full Stop, another recently opened shop near Pacific and Dundas. A cookie is 2.25 $. Parking is on the street.
Amani Earl’s faces a crushing amount of competition. (If every place in The Junction that sold coffee/​baked goods closed down, half the shops would be empty.) Coffee shops seem to be the easiest local business to open, perhaps inspired by the success of the huge chains. Tim Horton’s is now right across the street. (While it is not completely fair to compare the two, reality is that many people will choose to spend 5 $ for a breakfast sandwich, coffee,
