Your lunch break means going with a couple of co-workers to some dive restaurant or Tim Horton's. Your commute means sitting in traffic for what seems like eternity.
In downtown, your coffee break means checking out a cool coffee shop a couple of blocks away or going for a walk to a park somewhere near by. Your lunch break means going out to almost any restaurant you can imagine or finding a food truck in the area. You have the option of either going with your co-workers, or meeting up with some friends that work somewhere else in the area. In the burbs, generally offices are farther apart, so it's not as likely that you know anyone close to your office. In downtown, you can go shopping at The Core during your breaks, or run some errands like getting your dry cleaning done. Maybe you enjoy driving to work, but taking the train is actually not that bad.

I would like to experience this. I've only ever worked in foothills industrial. The few times i've been downtown during a weekday actually seems pretty cool.
