The staff is very welcoming and amazing. I had a delightful chat with the person behind the counter and they were very friendly. I ordered an iced chai latte and they confirmed my preferences before making my drink. The price is also very reasonable. I did not sit down but the place was quiet and had cozy vibes. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to Capital since moving to the neighbourhood. This is one of those authentically unique cafe's that carry on the spirit of the neighbourhood: quality coffee, tasty food fare and best of all: an incredibly down to earth staff & clientele.
There's an authentic rustic grit to the environment that offers a lovely charm to the vibe. The staff are always incredibly supportive and each add their own flare to the work day, beyond the music played in store alone!
That newer guy with the red sun glasses, adore!

This place is truly one of a kind and will always remain a pillar of the community. It’s where locals gather over coffee, share conversations, and enjoy a relaxing moment together. The atmosphere is always welcoming—everyone is greeted with kindness and never judged, no matter who they are. Alex and the staff are always willing to offer a helping hand to anyone who needs it, or an ear to lend. I will always support Alex and Capital! We love y'all! <3 Also, the carrot coconut muffin goes crazy! Go Les!!!!

The barista seemed overwhelmed despite there being only two customers—one of whom he was chatting with, and me. When I asked about almond milk options, I was snapped at to read the menu. Finding it was a bit tricky, and it didn't display prices, which made me wonder if I had been overcharged (I paid 6.75 for a very average latte!) or if the online prices were outdated. Overall, the place feels overrated; perhaps they're friendlier to regulars, but that wasn't my experience.

16$ for a breakfast sandwich and an Iced americano. expensive for parkdale even in 2025. no price tags, menu board or itemized point of sale system to know how much each item was, the server with the red sunglasses was friendly but swore around kids when speaking to their coworker/boss. They also did not offer a receipt, the people were friendly but felt awkward to have to ask. The sandwiches also had fruit flies around, and even though I asked for it to be warmed up they still just handed it to me as is. Food was good, experience was not great. coffee was strong though

While there are more high end boutique cafes in the city, this one has been one of my top cafes to venture to. Its homey, its good quality and their staff and usual patrons are very approachable and relaxed. Its what you may find on a quiet street in Brooklyn. Make sure you try their homemade muffins. Also, their beans are fantastic!

Great neighborhood coffee shop, serving up tasty beverages, nice treats and a small selection of vintage. They've also got really cool locally made ceramics for sale, worth just stopping in to have a look at them as they are so cool!

Great coffee shop! They have the best ambience and music. Good place to work or just chill!
I came in towards the end of the day and got a cappuccino and a free cookie (sweet). I sat down and overheard the table beside me where a woman was receiving a very complicated math lesson and I got to be really happy that I wasn't doing math. I read my book for a while and had a totally awesome time.

Best cortado I’ve had in Toronto and I try a new place every ten days. The muffins are also great, especially the berry marscapone. Relaxed atmosphere with a lot of queen west regulars. Fast for take away.
