50 Best Coffee Shops in Toronto

“Very lovely experience upon visiting! Such informative description of each coffee item which was suggested, and the one I got was the best I’ve had… and I worked at SB for 4y! 100% recommend!! 💙“

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

“The food is phenomenal!!!🫶🏻“

“I brought my daughter to one of the workshops here, and we both had an amazing time. The experience was fun, interactive, and educational, we learned about the chocolate-making process, sampled a variety of chocolates, and even created our own chocolates to take home. The staff made the workshop engaging for both kids and adults, and it was a wonderful way to spend quality time together. Highly recommended for families and anyone who loves chocolate!“

“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.“

“The food and service are phenomenal, will recommend and come again“

“Unassuming but lowkey local gem. The workers are very kind. The drinks are cheaper than big chains and don’t skimp out on ingredients. Come with cash for 10% off. The HOT drinks have cute art with it too (not the cold drinks.

No wifi btw.“

“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. 🥰“

“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!“

“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! 🥰🥹😻“

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

“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.“

“This hidden gem truly stands out! The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Their baked goods are incredible, especially the apple pie croissant - it's an absolute must-try. The espresso is also exceptionally good. And the beautiful hanging plants add a cozy touch to the place❤️🪴.“

“Beautiful place and worth a visit“

“My son brought me here to try the breakfast sandwiches. These are awesome. I had the bacon and cheese with hollandaise in a combo with the hashbrown that has mashed potato with an iced coffee. The sandwich is very tasty and that bread is totally awesome. The staff are helpful, friendly and very efficient! The only reason the place does not get 5 stars is the stand-up to eat concept. I would have liked to sit and eat this... but overall great food and folks.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 :)“

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

“Very nice place with amicable staff.“

“Had a really lovely experience at Zav Coffee Shop and Gallery. The space is calm and beautifully curated-you can genuinely take your time enjoying the artwork and photos on the walls. The people working there are thoughtful and cultured, which adds to the whole atmosphere. It's one of those places that leaves a lasting impression.“

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

“Adding to the review in 2026:

I’ve been buying Ethica Filter Coffee for years now, and it’s hands down the best Brazilian coffee I’ve had in Canada. As someone who has tried Brazilian coffees from roasters across multiple provinces, this one consistently stands out.

The profile is exactly what I look for in a Brazilian coffee: rich chocolatey notes, balanced sweetness, and an incredibly satisfying aftertaste that keeps you coming back for another cup. What impresses me most is the consistency. Bag after bag, the quality is always there.

10/10 recommend for anyone who loves classic Brazilian coffees done right.

Also, I swear their shipping speed somehow violates the laws of physics. Every time I order, it feels like the coffee arrives before I even finish checking out.

Old review from 2023:
Brazil Cajamanga was the BEST espresso I tasted in 2023. Recommend it 100%.“

“This is the gem 💎 in Toronto during our visit!! Comfy and cozy shop paired with store owners that show passion and warm hospitality. Breakfast and drinks also were amazing!! Please come out and support - this place deserves all the love. 🇳🇮 🇮🇹 ❤️“

“Cute little cafe off of Bathurst. I really enjoyed my visit here and found it was rather reminiscent of an old cafe I used to frequent. It appears to be a popular spot with locals. I ordered a cappuccino and their banana bread, both were fantastic. They do have limited seating with about four tables in doors and a few tables outside in their patio.“

“The best coffee in town!“

“Awesome people making awesome coffee!! 👍“

“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. 🍓🍵🐶“

“I had the real pumpkin spice latte. It was made from actual spiced pumpkin. It was fantastic. Truly. Also had a butter tart with my coffee and it was excellent. The staff was friendly and cheerful. Really enjoyed my time at this cute little cafe.“

“I bought a bike from Eric (Pedaal co-owner) when he worked at Curbside Cycle way back in like 2016 or 2017. He was kind, knowledgeable, sharp, and gentle (ie no upselling) and my husband and I felt like we could be in his company all day. The bike he sold us has now lasted us a decade and we have been so thrilled and delighted that after 20 years at Curbside Eric broke out on his own to build Pedaal which we consider the number one cargo bike store .... general bike store !! ... in the city. Long hours, friendly service, pumping up your tires just to help you out and bringing you a latte while they do it?? I like Curbside but I LOVE Pedaal ...“

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

“Rooster Coffee House is the kind of neighborhood café that keeps you coming back. The coffee is consistently fresh and well-crafted. The pastries are just as impressive, especially the flaky croissants and moist banana bread. With plenty of natural light, comfortable seating. A cozy spot that focuses on quality and gets the essentials right every time.“

“Visited Le Bleu Coffee and really enjoyed the experience. I had an Americano and my partner had a flat white both were excellent and well-balanced. The coffee was smooth and clearly well made. We also tried the croissant which was flaky, buttery, and fresh.

The café itself has a beautiful cozy atmosphere with vintage touches like the old typewriter and a wall decorated with open books. It’s a lovely spot to relax with a good cup of coffee. Would definitely come back.“

“Very cozy vibes in this shop! Needed a quick pick me up and drinks from here did the job. Got the pistachio latte for myself and the chai latte for my girlfriend. Both were just ok in my opinion. I can tell the quality of ingredients were top notch but the flavours fell a little below expectations. Service was great! Hope to come back and give this shop another chance.“

“One of my favourite places to get un croissant au chocolat. Or a cheese or almond croissant. Also the muffins are bless! AND the chia or oatmeal bowls are amazing. Plus the coffees and teas, iced or hot are incredible. They got some great people working behind the counter. Extremely neat place, if I do say so myself.“

“Hailed Coffee has a calm and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot for studying or catching up with friends. The coffee quality is good, especially their specialty drinks, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The place is stylish and comfortable, although prices are slightly on the higher side. Overall, it’s a nice café for people who enjoy quiet vibes and quality coffee.“

“Spacious space and lots of tables and chairs but this place is packed!!! So many people with laptops.

I tried their pistachio matcha latte and it was good! I bet the other items are as good as this one. The price was hella expensive for a latte $9.03 but if people are using this cafe to stay long to study or work on their laptops i think the price is reasonable 😂 but for people like me who just stop by for a take out is painful loll

Desserts looked great too.“

“Try out their freshly stocked beans.“

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

“Strawberry Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. Absolutely delicious and vibrant matcha, the strawberry puree was the perfect amount of sweetness and the strawberry topping was surprisingly sweet and fresh. The oat milk did not overpower the matcha taste. All of my friends were delightfully surprised with a fantastic matcha drink! Highly recommend and one of the best hidden gem matcha drink I’ve tried! Will be returning!“

“The last time I had a good habesha cousin was back in 2024 in Addis Ababa until today to be surprised by Jemila Dubai Restaurant. I tried a couple of habesha restaurants in Toronto but none is a match to this one. A dish you can hardly finish, an eye opener genuine taste, a very humble service, a home feeling atmosphere, traditional. Ohh I haven’t eaten this much in almost 2 years. Thank you Jemila Dubai.“

“Love this place! The staff were so friendly, music was great, and food and coffee were delicious! I had the peanut raf and cheddar with spinach croissant. The shop can seat about 15-20 people so it’s not big but it’s not small. There’s a good amount of seats and you can charge your phone or computer if need be. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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.“

“Larry's has tasty offerings, friendly staff, and a welcoming laidback atmosphere. Exactly what I'm looking for in a cafe. I had a chai latte and the rodeo cookie, both fantastic! It can become busy with limited seats available for dine-in, but that's the nature of being an excellent business in this city. Would recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I only got an iced chai, but I 100% plan on coming back. The chai was delicious too. The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy! I'd love to come back and sit for a bit. Staff was friendly and polite. Excited to try out the food next time I come by.

Places like these keep the neighborhood vibrant and diverse. Love to see it!“

“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.😀“
