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“

“Wonderful cafe with great atmosphere and service. Really enjoy the location as you can sit at the cafe, drink coffee and even though you're at the centre of a busy mall it feels comfortable and classy.

Highly recommend the croissants as they are fresh and warm.

Kid-friendliness: When I was here I saw lots of families being served.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible via wheelchair.“

“"As a coffee lover, especially a fan of macchiato, I can confidently say that Another Land Coffee Shop is a must-visit! Their macchiato is absolutely delightful—rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The service is exceptional; the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The decorations are stylish and cozy, creating a warm atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding or meeting up with friends. This place truly stands out, and I can't recommend it enough for fellow coffee enthusiasts!"
I loved the coffe so so much“

“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“

“The Cubs is a cafe I often visit, and every time I come, it's a great place to spend time quietly, calmly, and chatting with friends over delicious snacks! The menu is diverse, and they also sell dishes like bungeobbang and tteokbokki, so it's not a bad idea to enjoy a light meal or a meal!“

“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.“

“Was there for a Sunday brunch with friends. Food is awesome and coffee is good. The workers were very nice but I felt that they were short staffed because it took very long for them to greet us and bring us water. It was over 10min before a waitress was able to take our order. The food was also slow to show up and they may have missed a couple things from the order as it didnt come out until we asked for it after waiting a while. Everybody seemed swamped and perhaps there needs to be a designated server among them.

Overall, convenient location, great food and good vibes though“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

“Ins風小資咖啡廳，唔錯！“

“I recently visited D Spot Cafe for the first time and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was inviting, and the menu offered a delightful variety of options. What truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by Abhishek. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations that enhanced our meal. Staff's friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our visit.

Overall, it’s clear that they prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend visiting!“

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

“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.“

“everything is good and decent price“

“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 .......“

“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!“

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

“4110 Yonge street location has amazing service. All servers are very polite including Andrea. She always tries her best to provide great customer service and accommodate special requests (I prefer decaf which needs to be requested most of the drinks and there's no option to do so online).

Vegetarian options: Tim's don't have too many vegetarian options but I am happy with the bowls they have.“

“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.“

“This coffee shop has a modern vibe and exceptional service. Their espresso shots are perfectly balanced, and the pastries are always fresh. It's a great place for a quick coffee break or a relaxed afternoon. Also, their selection of teas is quite impressive. I definitely recommend trying their donuts!“

“This has quickly become my favourite work stop for Tim’s coffee and treats! The ladies who work her are always outgoing, welcoming, friendly, and overall just amazing! We love going here and catching up and seeing our friends everyday! A great team, a great place to start your day or pop in for a quick smile! This is your spot for outstanding service, the best coffee and some laughs! Keep up the great work ladies!“

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

“Food was great, although serve was very slow and at times non-existent though I guess they must be short staffed. ordered $17 waffles only to see no whip cream and after hounding down a waiter was told there was none. I mean, if that's the case, fine. But don't just walk away and hope we dont notice. let us know. offer a discount or add extra fruit aside from the 2 strawberry and 5 blueberries. like do anything!“

“Aroma Espresso is as close as it gets to an authentic coffee experience. Each drink is crafted with care, and you can truly taste the quality in every sip. The staff are always friendly, and the service is consistently excellent.

The real standout, though, is the cozy interior. It’s an ideal spot for students to study or hang out—I’ve spent most of my years on campus here, enjoying their coffee, food, and the welcoming atmosphere. There’s something incredibly comfortable and home-like about this place; it’s a haven where I’ve never once been disappointed. Aroma Espresso is more than a coffee shop—it’s a space that feels like home.“

“Tried this place on a whim after we had a craving for Italian food and were not disappointed!
The standouts are the sake rose (creamy, umami) and the bo kho bolognese (great pairing of Vietnamese beef with the tomato sauce). The duck breast green curry’s flavours worked well together, but I think it should have double the amount of meat for the dish.
The orders didn’t take long to make, about 10-15 minutes from time of ordering from the touch display.
Will likely be back when another craving hits!“

“Probably the most accessible decent chain donuts I’ve had in a long time. Hard to beat Krispy Kreme original glazed as the leader of chain donuts but these guys blow away Tim Hortons by a long shot. I will actively go out of my way now to seek this chain over Tim’s any day for donuts. Although still not baked on site the dough is much more developed. Service was excellent and super friendly. Love it. Location is a bit rough around the edges but everyone still in good spirits.“

“Hi, I just wanted to say that I really like the pastries at the coffee time there is this one pastry I get every day and I mean the other pastries look really good and they’re probably really good and I’m not picky when it comes to eating like pastries but honestly, there is like a chocolate fritter, walnut fritter and strawberry fritter or I don’t know yet confused with the flavors, but I think there’s like a walnut chocolate and strawberry and every time I order the fritter it’s so good and very moist and sweet and I really like the atmosphere it’s very clean. There’s not a lot of people in the coffee shop. There’s just me and my family and sometimes the other people leave the coffee shop and we’re the only ones who stay in the coffee shop for longer. And that’s what I like about the coffee shop, nice atmosphere and I like how I always order this fritter and there is this popular drink that I usually get which is S’mores Chilla and I really like it because it has a lot of like chunks of cookies and it’s really good and I get it every so often I come to the coffee shop and yeah, the coffee shop is really nice. The service is fine I like the service but when I like the most is the pastries but yeah, I’m a very picky eater. I definitely did not like the sandwich. I ordered a sandwich with everything on it and I did not like it because the sandwich have a lot of flavour or maybe it was just me like I just didn’t like it. The only reason why it was because I was hungry but I guess if the food tasted better, I would order the sandwich or maybe I ordered a sandwich that was not good and didn’t like it but maybe the crispy sandwich was good ordered instead because I ordered a sandwich that was in crispies chicken the food looks OK I mean I personally wouldn’t really try the food. I would just try the pastries to be honest.

Parking: There is some white a parking space and there’s free parking, which is easy to park your car, but I’m not sure if it’s completely accessible like I think it may be accessible or it may not be. I’m not sure but the good thing is that there is free parking.“

“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“

“This is a hidden gem at the Toronto botanical gardens - fresh and tasty pastries, great drinks, incredible service especially by Shannon! We're here a few times every summer and her friendly smile, kindness and efficient service keeps us coming back. Highly recommended ?“

“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!“

“Best coffeeshop chain in TO ... I much prefer them to the place that starts with S.
Too many of them have closed.

Parking: Parking depends on the location. This location at Bathurst and Lawrence is in a shopping mall with lots of free parking.“

“Andelko the store manager is outstanding!!! He remembered my name and order after I returned to the location after two years! He is always incredibly happy, cheerful, amazingly efficient and deserves recognition from corporate office!!! 10 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Good bite size donuts. Not a fan of so few options but very good for what they are.
Also, nice little shop but the music was incredibly loud a little annoying to the 4 customers in the store trying to talk to each other while they wait for donuts. Just my opinion“

“All kinds of drinks are very innovative. The first one is the grapefruit American style. I am also looking forward to the fusion of brushed yogurt and various fruits in the future! The rest of the drinks could be better with a little improvement, but overall they're pretty good.“

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

“I've been coming here regularly for about a year and although it can be busy, I don't find it as loud as certain other coffee shops. I can sit down and work comfortably. The coffee is good and I save $0.10 when using my reusable coffee mug.“

“I just have one specific order and every tims in town has disappointed me with that until I met night crew - Jalaj.

He is my go to person for every time I need my Iced Coffee.

Vegetarian options: Croissant with Hashbrown and Cilantro Lime accompanied with Iced Coffee.“

“Good place for a quick lunch in the mall. I got Mixed Berry smoothie with whey protein and almond milk instead of apple juice and that was really good. Also I got a chicken wrap, that I really enjoyed. Customer Service here is really friendly. I would recommend this place for quick panini or some other pastries. Definitely will come back here again.“

“Au Pain Doré is a cozy gem tucked near Finch Station, offering a calm escape with its spacious layout and large glass walls that let in plenty of light. The clean interior, well-organized displays, and clearly labeled items create a seamless and welcoming experience.
I tried the Portuguese custard tart, which had a flaky crust and creamy filling that felt indulgent yet balanced. The Danish cheese pastry was equally memorable, with buttery layers and a rich, sweet centre. Their Americano was smooth and robust, making it a perfect pairing for the pastries.
Pricing felt reasonable, and the service was quick and efficient, adding to the overall appeal. This café’s relaxed vibe, quality food, and attention to detail make it a spot I’ll definitely return to for a peaceful coffee break.“

“Delicious special flavoured beverages. For speciality drinks and frappes, the flavors were rich and decent prices. Great customer services. The register was kind and explained the drinks thoughtfully.

Parking: Located at Fairview Mall, ground floor. Plenty of parkings“

“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...“

“I come here often now, having gotten tired of the offerings at Galleria a ways up the street. Beef bimbimbap is a must for me: always delicious and always fresh, made by friendly, hardworking people. It could use a little more beef, but the flavour is a perfect mix of savoury and sweet. It's too bad the cafe closes well before 5, because it's definitely one of the better places to get food around here. But it is what it is. Staff have to go home sometime!“

“I recently visited Second Cup, and it was a fantastic experience! The cozy and inviting atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done.

The coffee is outstanding – rich, aromatic, and served just right. I tried their [specific drink, e.g., caramel macchiato], and it was perfectly crafted. Their selection of pastries and snacks is also top-notch, pairing perfectly with the drinks.

What really stood out to me was how clean and well-maintained the space was. The tables, seating areas, and even the restrooms were spotless, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The staff were friendly, helpful, and clearly take pride in their work. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or spending time there, Second Cup is a place I’d highly recommend..

Thank you,“
