50 Best Coffee Shops in North York

“It’s a good place to have coffee, just the staff need to pay attention to the customers when they take orders“

“Cute little cafe just inside the xerox center on subway level. Their pastries look delicious! I tried a bulgogi salad and a cafe latte - if u like a softer and milkier latte this would be a good choice… if u prefer stronger beans flavour then this would be too mild. The salad is decent, but would def come back to try their croissants and cakes“

“아줌마들 셋이 오늘 낮에 빙수생각이 나서 쑥스러움을 무릅쓰고 들어갔어요~~ 인절미 팥빙수~~ 거친 팥고물에 달지도 않고 너무 맛있어서 계속 감탄하며 먹었네요~~ 서빙하는 언냐들도 이쁘고 대박 친절했어요~~~ 기분좋은 하루 였어요~~~“

“Great little cafe right at the heart of Younge. The service was very friendly and attentive with smiles and great pwrsonality. I ordered the Osmanthus Latte and it was fantastic. Not too sweet and not too bitter. Perfect balance of milk too. Would love to try their other drinks. Will come again.“

“This is a wonderful local coffee shop. They make delicious croissants and scones. I've brought them to some functions and everyone loves them! Support local business. Very friendly service.“

“**Review:**

If you're looking for a cozy coffee spot with great food and drinks, this place is worth a visit!

**Food:** Definitely try the Bagel Sandwich – the Funghi Pesto is a standout! For just $12, it's packed with flavor, and the basil really brings out the freshness of the bocconcini cheese. I also got the Matcha Latte, which was a treat. They use a housemade vanilla bean syrup, and for $5.50, you can even adjust the sweetness to your liking.

**Service:** The staff are friendly and welcoming, greeting you with a warm smile as soon as you walk in. They make you feel right at home, and their professionalism shows. Nothing more to ask for!

**Atmosphere:** The vibe inside is minimalist and relaxed. It’s a good spot to bring a laptop, though power outlets are limited, so it’s better for shorter stays. The music is at just the right level, and you don’t get much street noise from Yonge. The tables and chairs are clean, lighting is pleasant, but a small heads-up – my experience with the washroom wasn’t the best. Not the shop’s fault, though; I just wish some customers were more mindful about keeping it tidy.

**Overall:** It’s a convenient spot, right near the bus stop on Yonge (53), making it super accessible. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking to explore coffee shops around uptown!“

“good“

“Tim Hortons consistently delivers a remarkable experience with its wide selection of delicious coffee, pastries, and comfort food. The quality of their beverages, particularly the signature Timbits and iconic Double-Double coffee, never disappoints. The service is fast and friendly, creating a welcoming environment for both quick visits and leisurely breaks. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a warm cup of coffee, Tim Hortons always manages to combine convenience with great taste, making it a beloved choice for many.“

“Ins風小資咖啡廳，唔錯！“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

“Amazing flavor. There are not many Bingsu spots in Toronto, but I would say this location creates the perfect blend. Price is slightly high. I would reduce it by 2 dollars to make customers feel more welcome. The tip system is a little pressuring on top of a heavy price. I would definitely recommend for flavor wise if money is not really a concern.“

“Great place and staff at Barrie. Food excellent crown burger and grilled salmon with vegetables“

“I’d like to give a big shoutout to Anureet at Tim Hortons! She is incredibly friendly, efficient, and always serves with a smile. Whether it’s a busy morning rush or a quiet afternoon, Anureet stays calm and professional, making sure every order is accurate and quick. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service truly make a difference.“

“Today Jan 3, 2025 was my first time here. Beautifully decorated, Clean, generous size delicious baked on the premises blueberry scones, good coffee, friendly helpful staff and owner. I spent a long time working on the crossword puzzle sipping my two cups of coffee. I wasn’t rushed. Felt very comfortable. I wish them well, and I shall return for sure.“

“I would like to say that this Tim Horton (4110 Yonge Street) branch is excellent, clean and has a friendly staffs especially Christine who always serves me with a smile. She is polite too and if my order is not available she always recommends something else. Service is awesome.“

“Tim Hortons is always a solid go-to for a quick coffee and bite. I usually grab a Double Double and a breakfast sandwich, and they hit the spot every time. The coffee is consistent, hot, and just the right strength for a morning pick-me-up. The staff at this location were really friendly and efficient—even during the morning rush, the line moved quickly. The place was clean, with plenty of seating if you want to hang out for a bit. Nothing too fancy, but it’s reliable, affordable, and feels like a little piece of Canadian comfort. Always happy to stop by.“

“I treasure small independent coffee shops like this. The Coffee Time chain has pretty die and these days you cannot even find a Second Cup or Timothy's to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. I will continue visiting these small outlets whenever I can locate one .......“

“food is fantastic, will definitely be back for more“

“everything is good and decent price“

“great ambiance and great food. just loved it.“

“I’ve visited this place several times, but this is my first time leaving a review. The cashier was professional and wonderful, with a clear explanation and a warm smile that made my day. Of course, the coffee is delicious, and I highly recommend the matcha as well. Yesterday, I tried a small bottle of mixed juice, which was perfect for me since I was looking for something that could fit in my small bag. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Back for a 2nd time, food just as delicious and fresh as the first time. It was nice to enjoy their reasonably priced lunch menu, we enjoyed the Sicilian (one with turkey and no eggplant) and the Turkey with provolone and jelly. My daughter ordered bow tie pesto pasta di burrata - out of this world fresh and delish! We ordered bruschetta and heated olives/crostini and the maple pecan salad, the dressing was a bit on the sweet side if you don't mind, we found it scrumptious. Desserts were great, cannoli with pistachio filling, chocolate eclair (we think coffee would be better), tiramisu was ok, and best of all of them however was the nutella filled croissant with fresh strawberries, heaven! Happy to go again, and again, and again :-)“

“I had a truly wonderful experience! The service exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and attentive to my needs. Everything was handled with great care and efficiency, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I especially appreciate the prompt responses and the extra effort taken to ensure I was satisfied.

Thank you for delivering such high-quality service. I will definitely recommend it to others and look forward to returning again!“

“Some days it's hard to figure out a meal. Or you need a nice afternoon on your day off. Just not in the mood to cook. Or wanna sit on a patio and be mysterious with your coffee. That's what Aroma is there for. It's the best spot/cafe to eat in the area. Whether alone (reading a book) or meeting a friend. Their fudgy brownie and pistachio carrot cake are mood boosters. If they're out, that might have been me, sorry! Reliable oatmeal and coffee. Never thought I'd be paying for oatmeal, but theirs is so comforting! As for their service, Kavi is always a friendly face, and Davyd will save you from making the wrong coffee order 😅 And their music always hits. Overall this place is an 11/10. Best place to get light brunch solo on your day off if you're a busy bee.“

“This place has an INCREDIBLE variety of delicious pastries. I usually come in for iced coffee before work but there wasn’t any available a few times over the last week. It’s also very overpriced so i will start trying to bring some from home instead.“

“I had tahchin with meat and I’m glad I tried it. The crispy rice on the outside was delicious and the meat was tender and tasty. The food also looked appetizing. Our server, Rayhana, was nice. The restaurant had a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the staff was friendly.“

“Anthon’s Cafe on the ground floor of my office building is a fantastic spot for coffee and lunch. The menu is diverse, featuring sandwiches, and salads. I especially love their flavorful coffee. The staff are always friendly and provide quick, excellent service. It’s a convenient and reliable choice for anyone in the area. Highly recommended!“

“Outstanding coffee shop - easy, accessible, and an extremely positive atmosphere! Service with a smile. We ordered to breakfast sandwiches (Breakwich), a cake pop, a fruit smoothie, and coffee - everything is made fresh in restaurant, and the sandwiches blow Tim Hortons out of the water. Fresh egg, sausage, real cheese, perfectly toasted croissant-style bun, well sauced. Loved it.

Pricing was very reasonable, service was quick, and there was ample seating in the restaurant. We will definitely come back! Half-eaten sandwich in the photo because it was too enticing to wait. Smoothie is in-motion, with the half-consumed cake pop in the background.“

“Tried the maple-filled donut and s’mores mocha chilla today. The donut was good, but the filling tasted more like custard than maple cream. Next time, I’ll go for the classics. The staff was super friendly, so I’ll definitely be back!“

“All team members Maninder, Vishal, Rana, Smit, Minsol all are welcoming. I had a great experience, thanks to the friendly and professional service from the whole team.
They greeted me with a smile and took my order accurately and quickly. Even during a busy time, they stayed calm and efficient.
My coffee was perfect, and the store was clean and welcoming. Employees like them make me want to come back again!“

“The bagels are the best!!!! With cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich you can't beat them!!! ;)“

“My coworkers and I pop into Coffee Time every single day for lunch, and it's always a highlight! The service is consistently great, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making each visit a pleasure. They have a fantastic selection of baked goods, which is a huge plus. A special shout-out to Mickey, who is truly exceptional… they always go above and beyond for customers. Definitely recommend this spot!“

“I ordered a trio of original, chocolate and cinnamon. The doughnuts were all warm and fresh. Customer service was good. I didn't really like the cinnamon doughnuts, they were too salty for my taste. I liked the chocolate and original though, but the original was my favourite out of them all.“

“I am so glad I found this cute and quiet hidden Café. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Right now I can hear Adagio by Albinoni playing in the background and see the beautiful park with the tall trees. Even though the weather is gloomy, the paintings painted by the talented owner makes it sunnier. Especially the sunflowers 🌻 😍 💛 These paintings are available to purchase for anyone who loves flowers or want to give a thoughtful gift to a loved one. I will be back for brunch soon.“

“Really tender corned beef, on a fresh onion bun. Better then Katz's ever was.“

“Seating area: A lot of seating area available but does get pretty busy/stuffy

Price: quite pricey relative to portion size

Wifi: available

Outlets: limited

Overall vibes: cute interior

Can i work/study here comfortably? 6/10“

“Great location, adjacent to finch subway entrance, and accessible to everyone. Bakery is in the building. I got almond croissant, tastes great and warm. Plenty of drink and pastry choices. Service was prompt. Staffs were courteous. Area was clean. Cozy to stay in. Highly recommended.“

“I was waiting for my order for at least 10 min and when I went to ask they told me my name was called twice, so my order was just there waiting for me. I did not hear anything at all, the person should call with normal voice so that customers can hear. I was right there and nobody called my name, my order was just left there. As a result my coffee was cold. Very disappointed. Aside this - nice place, not too bad.“

“Nestled within beautiful gardens that remain stunning year-round, Bloom Café is a charming spot with a lot of untapped potential. I’m not entirely sure if the café operates seasonally, perhaps only during the warmer months, but its location offers a unique opportunity to embrace the changing seasons more fully.

My son loves it here for the treats like ice cream and the relaxed outdoor patio, complete with stone tables, gentle sounds of nearby fountains, and lovely garden views in every direction. It’s a peaceful and pleasant setting.

However, a few thoughtful updates could really elevate the experience. A fresh coat of paint and some fresh flowers indoors would brighten up the space. While the current menu is simple and appropriate, it could be expanded to reflect its surroundings. Think iced floral teas like orange blossom or rose black tea in the summer, and warm soups with a cozy fireplace in the winter.

There seems to be some indoor seating, and enhancing this space with floral wallpaper or hand-painted botanical art would tie it beautifully to the garden theme. The café doesn’t need to be fancy. Just more intentional in design and offerings. Given its partial location along the Bridle Path and the steady foot traffic through the gardens, it has great potential to become a serene, seasonal retreat.“

“AALIYAH and ASHLEY Always delivers exceptional service everyday! Not really a big fan of Tim Hortons but because of these ladies, looks like I have been converted. Thank you ladies and keep up the great service! Tim Hortons you are very fortunate to have them!“

“I really want to mention Supervisor Brindha for her amazing service at this Tim Hortons. Every time I come in, she’s friendly, welcoming, and makes sure things run smoothly even when it’s busy. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel valued as a customer.“

“This was the perfect lunch for me! The Caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil is such a classic combo, and the crusty bread really ties it all together. I can totally imagine the balsamic drizzle adding that little extra zing. Plus, a latte on the side? Genius. Sounds like Lettieri’s hit it out of the park for you. Will definitely keep it on my radar for the next time I’m craving something fresh and tasty!“

“In fact, this is the most ordinary Tim Hortons. Nothing special and nothing special, conveniently located, the workers are nice and friendly, it's just a pity that people have to work for pennies with such a huge influx of customers. I really like their Tim Bits and tea biscuits“

“my favourite cafe in my hood. Great cofees and teas and delicious food. OG veggie sandwich and ahi and/or salmon dalad is the best! Cozy place...“

“Surprisingly delicious desserts. Tried the lava cake and matcha crepe. Will go back again for more“

“This store is great in terms of warm welcome from front desk, especially the girl Chandini is awesome. She is very polite and knows how to handle customers with utmost care. She is very quick in taking orders and remembers the frequent customers.
She explained the survey coupon, which helps to get few drinks for a loonie. Service time is fantastic and I would love to visit this store often.“

“Had a great experience at Tim Hortons today! Harpreet Singh served me an Oreo Iced Capp and it was perfect—just the right blend of flavour and chill. He was polite, quick, and made sure everything was just right. Great service and great drink. Thanks, Harpreet!“

“This place is literally the quintessential "friends" hangout spot that every college student needs to relax, study, socialize or just vibe with. The fact that there's amazing (cheap af) food, board games, and lovely staff, like this is the best board game cafe, coffee cafe, and student lounge combined!“

“I stopped by Tim Hortons late at night and was really impressed with the service from Ruby. Even though it was the night shift, she was cheerful, patient, and very attentive. She prepared my order quickly and with care, and her positive attitude made the late-night stop so much better. It’s not easy working nights, but Ruby goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. Truly appreciated!“
