    I love the vibe of this place. It’s really laid back and I love to come here with my laptop for a great cup of coffee and a read. People are friendly and you can pick up any of the books lying around if you want to be adventurous:)

    According to the owner:
    A lackadaisical space dressed in cases of books and racks of magazines, Tequila Bookworm’s atmosphere draws artists and Queen West dwellers alike. Bring in your MacBook to surf the web on the free Internet connection or the monologue you’re looking to commit to memory. Depending on the server’s mood, beats from St. Germaine to the Beatles can be heard as tunes spin in the background while you read away. Order up liquids from the caffeinated category (featuring fair-trade coffee and loose leaf teas) or choose from six beers on tap.
    The menu is of the light lunch variety featuring tapas, sandwiches and gourmet salads like the patron favourite avocado, Asiago and toasted walnut mix. Recharge those creative skills with some sweets such as a number of fresh fruit waffles topped with home-whipped cream or real ice cream from Bobcaygeon Ontario’s famed Kawartha dairies. Cookies, cakes and pies are sure to delight at the end of your meal.
    Exposed brick, red walls and a long, but minimalist bar create a relaxed space for diners. Alongside the magazines (peruse from a selection of current events, fashion, music, lifestyle and alternative rags) and books is featured artwork to muse and perhaps purchase. The upstairs, housing vintage style seating (think grandma’s worn but comfy couch), provides additional seating, leading to a cozy outdoor patio that accommodates around 20 people. A café fit for a lazy weekday afternoon and no need to stand around the bar, the restaurant is full-service.
