Writer Wayson Choy, featured in Trish's Crawford's article above, sent us this lovely compliment:

"The Rooster looks a bit like some European sidewalk cafe that invites people to sit down and linger a bit.  And its location looks across a great view of Central Toronto and a stretch of the Don Valley.  Inside, four cozy leather chairs, the usual two-seater tables, and a counter taking in that great view.  But most of all - crucial to me - the thoughtful soundscape never competes with conversation or deep thinking.   No rush.  Laptops and notebooks are equally welcomed.   And how ingenious to have designed the space to fit in a large harvest table where a half dozen can work together or break into pairs.  Inspiring. Tactful friendly service and great coffee tops it all off."

Congratulations, Shawn and Company, on designing a dream place that many of us had been longing to enjoy."
