Starbucks on Queen St West and John St. is located beside the old CityTv Building (now Bell Media), known for MuchMusic (founded by visionary pioneer Moses Znaimer). This Starbucks location has an energetic vibe and is located near the OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design) and the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). Best yet, it sits very close to the Grange Park for a beautiful stroll in a public park.
This Starbucks has a nice patio and is pleasant to enjoy indoors or outdoors. For this reason, it is a recommended spot for downtown Toronto.
For those who want to do some shopping on Queen West, or dine at its many excellent restaurants, or who might just want to stroll through downtown Toronto, it is an ideal place to start. To the east is the Eaton Centre and City Hall (Nathan Phillips Square), to the south is The Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome, Toronto Blue Jays) and The Air Canada Centre (Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs), to the north is The AGO (tips: Wednesday evenings are free) and The University of Toronto (tips: visit Hart House), and to the west is New Chinatown and Kensington Market. If you venture south to King St West, there is the theatre district, The Tiff Bell Lightbox, and several fine dining restaurants. Just one block south is the Scotia Bank movie theatre (Richmond St. and John St.) to catch a movie (tips: Tuesday tickets are discounted).
