If you've got a thirst for coffee and a need to have some adjustments made to your guitar, a visit to this unique coffee shop in Toronto offers a way to kill two birds with one stone. Aptly named Coffee Guitar, this is a novel place to kick back and connect with other guitar enthusiasts. The owner of this unusual shop is Bruce Domoney, an expert guitar repairman and now, baristo. In creating Coffee Guitar, Domoney describes: "I wanted a more relaxed environment where people could hang out in a guitar environment, and where it would bring the technician closer to the people."
The artful guitars that hang on the walls of the shop also double as items up for purchase. In the future, there may even be plans for Coffee Guitar to sell its own brand of custom instruments.
