“Delicious made-to-order sandwiches, plus pastry and excellent coffee. Friendly, efficient service. Covered northeast patio - St. Clair West at Kenwood. Good value - shop local.“

“Great coffee, even better people. Coffee is all about the experience for me. This is it!“

“Saw your post yesterday about the blossoms which prompted me to visit you guys as part of my adventure to Queen’s Park. Great staff, great coffee, great food. 🥰“

“Really nice staff, really nice food! I love their grilled cheese - get the sauce that comes with it!! SO GOOD!! I almost always get the butter tea. The ladies behind the counter are always really sweet!! Wish there was more seating, but it's small and intimate and that's part of the appeal.“

“One of the best coffee shops I’ve ever been in. The ambience is cozy, eclectic, and warm, the pastries and drinks are delicious, the owner is so kind, and the greeter of the cafe, Juliette, is the star of the show! I could stay for hours! 🥰🥹😻“

“This place is an absolute secret gem Bloor Village! Viktor's knowledge and passion will always encourage you to try some new exotic flavors! Lavender Latte was superior! Made with authentic Lavender Extract from France, a proper way of preparing and quality! This place is addictive, with a pleasant ambiance and a genuinely friendly service! You can enjoy it inside or on a patio :) Highly recommend!“

“Probably the best coffee shop in the city. Great pour over selection, immaculate drinks. Actually know how to make a modern macchiato. Great roasting, great baristas. All round good.“

“Mallo is my favourite because of the people who make it tick“

“If your craving milky soft Japanese thick bread with a beautiful folded egg omelet with your choice of protein then you come to the right place, this will be my third time ordering from here that's how good there sandwiches are. Very good, very yummy“

“This place is magic, the atmosphere there disconnects you from your routine, and this time is to be savoured to the fullest The baristas are the BEST, the coffee is spectacular made with love. You can tell they love what they do. It's been one of my favourite place since I discovered a year ago. Thanks for existing.“

“Loved this little coffee bar ❤️. Awesome chai tea , croissant, and the best egg salad sandwich I’ve ever had .“

“Space Coffee is a cozy cafe with lovely drinks and friendly staff. I ordered the Australian iced coffee which comes with a scoop of icecream and hazelnuts. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet. The owner(?) is very nice as well. During my stay, I noticed that she frequently had conversation with customers (we had a small conversation too). However, she isn't neglectful or distracted, she still tends to her customers while being friendly. Will be back to try the other menu items :)“

“Beautiful place and worth a visit“

“Janelle's is such a cute little spot with the most delicious breakfast. The quiche and the breakfast sandwich are excellent and so is the banana bread. Can't wait to come back!“

“Very nice place with amicable staff.“

“Nice small coffee shop, pretty good vibes with nice music. Perfect for reading a book or for a date.
I didn't try the sandwiches, they looked good, but I was not impressed by the croissants, too flaky.
Americano was pretty good, however the specialty latte was terrible, way too much syrup to my liking.“

“Lovely atmosphere, great selection of food, friendly service 😊“

“An actual hidden gem worthy of an afternoon date. A chocolate factory in the heart of Leslieville serves some of the best hot chocolate in the city (with a Mayan option AND an incredible homemade marshmallow on top) and sells incredible artisanal chocolates from around the world.

As a bonus, they sell the best housewarming gift for a winter get-together: a tin of house hot chocolate.“

“Only option in the Oakwood Village neighbourhood! Simply the best!“

“Smashing IT! ☕️😋☕️

Had an amazing time visiting Buno Coffee today along the trendy and happening St. Clair Avenue West.

This gem of a coffee place is serving up some of the best coffee in the City!

A great place to just come on by, take a seat, have some great conversations and enjoy that delicious cup of Coffee to either get your day started or just winding down after a busy day at work.

I had the Spanish Coffee and the Hojicha Latte and they were both delicious and out of this world spectacular.

I really enjoyed my little chat with the barista as well!

If you're looking for some great coffee then you definitely have to stop on by to Buno Coffee along St. Clair Avenue West!“

“In Toronto, most coffee shops and roasters offer the same fare, and nothing stands out. But Ethica goes above and beyond in ways that make it one of my favorites. Their specialty drinks are exceptional. The decor and thoughtful seating arrangements create a welcoming space. They stock 10% cream and won't judge you for using it (unlike many third-wave shops in town that act like you've committed a coffee crime). The beans are delicious, and the graphic design and packaging are delightful. Love this place.“

“Awesome people making awesome coffee!! 👍“

“I’ve been coming to Zav’s for the last two or three years, and it’s easily one of my favourite places to study, go on a casual date, or just catch up with a friend. The coffee, lattes, teas, and snacks are all great, but what really makes this place special is Zav himself. He’s always personable, welcoming, and genuinely kind. I’ve even seen him go out of his way to open the door for moms with strollers when he can.

Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to enjoy a drink or a snack, and an even better one to get some work done.

P.S. The art on the walls is beautiful and really adds to the atmosphere.“

“The best coffee in town!“

“Wonderful in every way, all the time, always“

“Popped in before a picnic and I’m glad I did! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an array of pastries at a cafe before nor had equally good coffee to match!

I ended up getting an iced latte and a Nanaimo bar. The latte was smooth and not bitter at all. The Nanaimo bar was very rich and sweet, so if you’re looking for something less sweet this may not be for you.

The line moved quickly and service was great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but with the park across the street not many seats were occupied.“

“The absolute best coffee shop in Toronto’s South Core / Harbourfront. The iced oat matcha latte w/ strawberry is incredibly good. The staff are amazing and friendly. The atmosphere is chill and stylish. Oh and it’s dog friendly. 🍓🍵🐶“

“Such a cozy and cute coffee shop! One of the best flat whites I’ve had in Toronto and I loved the cranberry oat cookie! It’s a great place to stop when you’re out for a walk!

There is also more sitting in the basement where they play black and white movies“

“Walking along Harbord looking for a good cup of coffee. I asked some locals who led me here, to Pedaal. Boy was I impressed. The coffee was 10/10. I had an Americano which the owner explained to me was a Brazilian bean from a high altitude which I believe was roasted in Montreal. Regardless. It was VERY good. I bought the beans. This is a passion of the owner who used to home roast / brew before opening the store.“

“It's a pleasant enough spot to people-watch or get work done, if you can snag a seat. The ginger-molasses cookies are super, but tiny. Earl-gray latte was yummy. The barista is such a pleasant guy.
Only wish they would completely turn off the music -- can hardly hear oneself think, and it's ill-fitting with the space.“

“Try out their freshly stocked beans.“

“Hailed Coffee is honestly one of my favourite cafés in the city. The shop is on the smaller side and can get packed during busy hours, but the quality of everything they serve makes it absolutely worth it.

Their coffee and lattes are amazing — super smooth, rich, and consistently well-made. The latte art is always on point too (like the one in my photo). They also have a great seasonal drink menu, and the strawberry matcha is surprisingly delicious and refreshing. Definitely a must-try.

The pastries are incredible. Their croissants, kouign amann, and raspberry swirls are fresh, flaky, and way better than what you’d expect from most coffee shops. They also carry ma’moul, chocolate bites, and desserts that you don’t often see elsewhere — everything displayed neatly in the glass cases and jars. You can tell they put a lot of love into the baking.

I also love that they stock brewing gear and beans from different roasters — Hario, Chemex, 49th Parallel, De Mello, and more — all displayed in a cozy corner of the shop. Even though the space is small, they make great use of it, and there’s a bit of outdoor seating which is nice for warmer days.

Overall, if you’re in the area, this is one of the best spots for high-quality coffee and pastries. Just expect it to get busy because everyone knows how good it is. Totally worth the stop every time.“

“Smashing IT! ☕️✌️ 🥰✌️☕️

Capulus Coffee House located along trendy St. Clair Avenue West and Alberta Avenue is serving up some of the most amazing coffee and delicious treats in the City.

Great vibes and great energy. It's the perfect spot to bring that favorite book and or laptop to get some work done with a great cup off coffee in hand.

Owner and operated by the masterful culinary expert he knows how to blend great flavors to make that extra special Latte.

Lattes made with homemade extra crafted syrups, no artificial flavors or anything that you can't pronounce on the back of a label!

I really enjoyed the Nutella Latte it was so rich and flavorful and an extra delight on a cold and snowy day.

The blue berry muffins baked fresh and in house is an added treat to that delicious brew.

The coffee is really strong and a great way to start your busy day.

So if you're in the neighbourhood and looking for a great place with some great vibes to enjoy your favorite cup of coffee then definitely head on out to Capulus Coffee House.

You're taste buds will be happy that you did.“

“A cosy place where you can reward your taste buds and enjoy the finest examples of local art. Highly recommended.“

“What makes Jemila’s place unique among all Habesha restaurants is her fresh cooked food served with compassion and love like motherly love. Also Jemila’s is open early for breakfast as opposed to other restaurants in the area. The Quanta Firfir is my fav.
I highly recommend Jemila Dubai Coffee all day.“

“Great spot to enjoy coffee/tea. Lovely
Atmosphere. Server was pleasant and the pastries & sandwiches looked super yummy. Will return to check out the DJ spinning tunes. Nice to have a spot this quaint and lovely in the community.“

“An underrated coffee experience in the area.

Best B-fast sandwiches as well.
Aaand they are dog friendly.

Massive space for working during the week, and great for private events too.
Soo all in all more of what Toronto needs.

PS. The french toast is ALSO pretty great!
Kitchen only on weekends.“

“Great coffee and customer service with the cutest cups. #supportlocal.“

“Came here during my short trip to Toronto, and I absolutely loved the Matcha! I wish I could be in the area more because I would genuinely revisit this place multiple times if I could. The shop is small, but there is some seating in the back. When I went, it was also pretty busy and they seemed to be having a small rush, but it was a reasonable wait time.“

“good coffee. cozy place. good location.“

“Nice place for our planning group to meet up!“

“Sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere, love the vibe!“

“My dad is in the hospital and requested a decaf latte at 7pm. Tim’s doesn’t carry them and everything else has been closed for hours. The hours here really helped us. Dad said it was the best latte he’s ever had! He took a picture of the cup so he can tell all his nurses about it, haha. Thank you!l for being open later! I’m coming for another latte tomorrow!“

“I bet this is the best coffee that I've ever tried in my life! And really nice place!“

“Amazing coffee. Delicious snacks. Friendly staff. The best summer patio in the area. I hope, hope, hope I’ll see them reopen in a few weeks ❤️“

“Brown Sugar Oat Latte to make your knees weak!
Ham & Cheese croissant *chefs kiss*

The baristas are always so friendly and really make you feel welcome. I love coming here and feeling included in the neighbourhood! The vibe at Larry’s is always perfect“

“Savory crepes were delicious, crisp and made with fresh ingredients right in front of you. Baklava was delicious. Cozy environment, great service with a smile that makes you feel at home. We all enjoyed. Was worth the travel from Mississauga and definitely will go again soon.😀“
