Tequila Bookworm Has Moved!

In the six years I lived in the funky Queen and Spadina neighbourhood, I spent a lot of time at the Tequila Bookworm cafe. Not only did I hang out there, but during my time as an indie software developer, it was my office. I’d bring my laptop, buy lunch and lots of Diet Cokes and crank out a lot of software there. I became a regular fixture there, got to know everyone who worked or hung out there and even got involved — briefly and disastrously — with a cute waitress who worked there.

I was surprised to find out in BlogTO that they’d moved. It’s not a great distance — barely half a block west — but they’ve taken over the Epicure Cafe, which has two floors and an upstairs patio in the back. This is a graduation not only to what I think is a larger space, but also to a real kitchen. At the old location, they did all the cooking behind the bar, which often meant that I left the cafe with my clothes smelling like the chicken they cooked on their George Foreman grill.

I’ll have to drop by one of these days.
