It immediately felt like that comfortable coffee shop you&#8217;ve been going to for years. The baristas were both welcoming, and happily took our Indie Coffee Passports.<\/p>\n<p>Once we went in, it was full of people, there was one table at the very back &amp; up a few steps that would fit around 6 people or 8 friends. There is bar seating at the very front, about 5 stools, and a couple of tables near the doors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2783\" alt=\"Brockton Haunt Board\" src=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Brockton-Haunt-Board.jpg\" width=\"858\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Brockton-Haunt-Board.jpg 858w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Brockton-Haunt-Board-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They brew the now familiar Pilot&#8217;s &#8220;Big Brother&#8221; beans on a Nuova Simonelli machine, and have a variety of baked goods &#8211; none of which were vegan at the time we went in.

We drank it happily, and also took advantage of their free wi-fi for about an hour.<\/p>\n<p>It was interesting to see the flow of regulars and newbies coming in as we sat near the cash. It&#8217;s always a nice to see a place where people keep coming back for more, and I can see why.<\/p>\n<h3>Some accessibility notes<\/h3>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t really take many notes on this, but here are a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is a step to get in, but I didn&#8217;t see a ramp available to get in.<\/li>\n<li>Restrooms are in the basement, down a fairly narrow staircase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Brockton Haunt<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mapsengine.google.com\/map\/viewer?mid=zX-2mgMY9fig.kVC5hRCosBrI\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2779 alignnone\" alt=\"Indie Coffee Passport Meets Vegan Eats in Toronto - Brockton Haunt\" src=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Indie-Coffee-Passport-Meets-Vegan-Eats-in-Toronto-Brockton-Haunt-300x300.jpg\" width=\"210\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Indie-Coffee-Passport-Meets-Vegan-Eats-in-Toronto-Brockton-Haunt-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Indie-Coffee-Passport-Meets-Vegan-Eats-in-Toronto-Brockton-Haunt-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Indie-Coffee-Passport-Meets-Vegan-Eats-in-Toronto-Brockton-Haunt-230x230.jpg 230w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Indie-Coffee-Passport-Meets-Vegan-Eats-in-Toronto-Brockton-Haunt.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1150 College St, Toronto, ON<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebrocktonhaunt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBrocktonHaunt\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrocktonHaunt\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JC and I have been spending at least one day on the weekend checking out a couple of coffee spots around the city.
