# Furniture-Less Coffee Bars Batay-Csorba's Design Embraces the Grab-and-Go Coffee Approach By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grabandgo-coffee References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/03/23/milkys-coffee-bar-batay-csorba-toronto/) & [batay-csorba](https://www.batay-csorba.com/) The incredibly minimalist and efficiency-oriented business approach of the grab-and-go coffee is returning to Toronto through the newly launched [Milky's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ordinary-x-milkys). This is a break from the operational framework that has come to be incredibly common in the city. Full of artisanal cafes, Toronto-style coffee joints are typically a place where the community comes together to socialize, create and freelance. However, Milky's is dedicated to the consumer in a hurry. In a sense, the business accommodates a truly hectic state. The furniture-less grab-and-go coffee establishment is located on Dundas Street and is characterized by a [highly geometric aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-matcha-caf). The only surface in the cafe are the "slender shelves [that] are slotted into a small nook."
