50 Best Coffee Shops in North York

“I love this place! It's a good place to go alone or with friends.“

“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“

“"We are regular customers, and we’ve always been impressed by the friendly and professional staff, all of whom exhibit a great attitude. The food is authentic and unique. A special thanks to the owner Mohamad Reza and Neda, Nazanin who consistently go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction."“

“"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!“

“the best tim’s ever! it’s very clean anytime i go in no matter what time of day. the staff are friendly and amazing, but the best person there is the manager simran. she always behind the counter working hard and it so nice to see the manager, she also knows my order which is best☺️“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

“The latte is delicious, the vibe is great, the owner and his wife are very friendly, and the peripheral products are designed by themselves, which is excellent! Highly recommended! The only thing you need to note is that you can't park in the parking lot next to the store (not theirs), you have to park on the roadside on the street behind the store“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch One of the best cafe place if you're looking to experience cozy vibe while eating the absolute most delicious pastries and drinks. The staff is exceptionally friendly ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“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 .......“

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

“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.“

“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 rose tteokbokki, crople, and bean butter walnut snacks, and they were really delicious! You are so kind and kind, so I will definitely come back when I come to Canada ~~ I highly recommend it!!! Be sure to eat the buttered walnut snacks“

“Most delicious and interesting coffee in all of Toronto. I never thought orange toffee latte, black sesame latte or rose yuzu latte could exist and get you addicted to the flavours. Why spend money at tims or starbucks when one can get handcrafted drinks right on yonge and sheppard. highly recommended“

“Their pasta is perfection, the sake rose and butter gochujang flavours is totally something we’d recommend. Ever since eating here we are always craving for their food and are dying to try more of their menu.

Unfortunately, they were sold out of their tiramisu but we will definitely try to get it next time. It must be really popular! It seems like it used to be an ice cream place, I think from what I remember they might still sell some ice cream.

Did take out because we are close by but there are picnic tables outside/on the large side walk to eat on. There is some street parking as well.“

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

“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!“

“I'm an executive on a student association at York and we used the Canadian Bagel as caterers for an Alumni event (bagel sandwich platters). Gino was INCREDIBLY helpful- everything from helping us with a very reasonable price to responding quickly to emails to providing extra plates and cutlery. Would definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“everything is good and decent price“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Donuts are superb but service cna be improved. Cashiers aren't that friendly and giving this cold vibe to customers. Luckily we just need the food, pay and go. Order online and pickup is better compared to buy in store , it'll take forever!“

“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 ?“

“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!“

“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!“

“A small shop at the corner of Wilson and Dufferin. There are a decent number of breakfast options such as Beef Patty, breakfast burger, danishes. Their coffee is good, I have one small cup of double double every weekday. A good short stop before your workday.“

“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“

“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.“

“I wanted to say how much I appreciate this café. It's an ideal place to relax, thanks to the kind service of the staff and the delicious smell of freshly baked pastries and freshly made coffee. Every visit feels enjoyable by the staff's constant friendliness.“

“I come here a few times a week , always in the evenings. All the ladies are super polite and go above and beyond making my Mocha blast perfect. There has been times we come with our large family and they kindly entertain all the kids with joy. This location is very busy in the evenings as it’s one of the only ones that is open till 11pm in the summer. The ladies work hard to take peoples orders. The store is always clean and always being cleaned when I am there. Keep up the the good work Nicole , Jolie and all the evening staff :)“

“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.“

“Food: 4 Stars
Service: 4 Stars
Ambience: 4 Stars
Value: 4 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars

I've been visiting this Starbucks since my high school days, and it remains a go-to spot whenever I need a place to relax and enjoy a beverage. The environment here is welcoming, with ample indoor and outdoor seating options, making it easy to find a spot whether you're alone or with friends. The atmosphere is laid-back, which is perfect for both casual catch-ups and focused work sessions.

One aspect that stands out is the abundance of washrooms, all of which are accessible without needing a passcode. This small but significant detail adds to the convenience and overall experience, especially during busy times. The drinks are consistently well-made, and I appreciate the attention to detail that the baristas put into each order. Whether it's a simple coffee or a more complex seasonal drink, I've always been satisfied with the quality.

The service here is efficient, and the staff are friendly and attentive. During my visits, I've noticed that the baristas are quick to take orders and prepare drinks, even during peak hours. This efficiency, combined with their positive attitude, contributes to a smooth and enjoyable visit every time.

While there are many positives, the reason for not giving a full five stars is that the space, though large, can sometimes feel a bit too busy, especially during weekends. Finding a quiet comfortable corner can be a challenge when the café is crowded. However, this is a minor inconvenience in an otherwise great experience.

Overall, this Starbucks continues to be a reliable choice for a comfortable place to unwind with a good drink. The consistency in service, quality, and atmosphere has kept me coming back for years, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing spot in the area.

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Dinesh went out of his way to make sure my daughter had the breakfast she wanted. When we arrived she wanted something that was a lunch menu item and he saw how disappointed she was when he said that was not being served. Minutes later he worked with the staff to get her the wrap she wanted. His gesture was so kind and thoughtful and it put a smile on my daughter’s face. Thank you Dinesh for going above and beyond. Best tims experience ever.“

“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!“
