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!! 💙“

“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. 🥰“

“The food is phenomenal!!!🫶🏻“

“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! 🥰🥹😻“

“10/10 - coffee tasted good. Family friendly place, and also perfect for a date.

The baristas are kind and have incredible skills. The foam art was perfect. A little sad that I had to drink it.

Definitely will come again.“

“I accidentally stopped by this cafe today. Once I entered, I felt as if I know everyone there. I saw the owner chatting with everyone and his assistant girl moving among tables like a butterfly. The owner is so gentle. I didn't talk to him, but was monitoring his amazing attitude with ppl. He was sitting with a customer, then he was chatting with another one at the cash. I even saw him cleaning the floor. What an example!
His assistant was serving coffees and food with a real smile on her face. They just made me happy. What a vibe! I got a cappuccino and it was heavenly good! Thanks guys for making your own real community, for dealing with ppl that nice (rare in Toronto). If I wanna come back to Toronto, I would come back just for this coffee shop.“

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

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

“Great spot to hang out, especially with kids - there is plenty of space, comfortable seating, and a pile of kids toys if you forget to bring some along. The chocolate itself is also exceptional, from the drinks to the bars and bonbons. Definitely worth visiting again and again.“

“Awesome people making awesome coffee!! 👍“

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

“Really cute local coffee shop. I only had a black coffee so can’t comment on their food offer but the place is so relaxed and welcoming, with cool artwork on all the walls. Feels like it would be a good place to spend the day writing or studying as it is spacious and light.“

“The best coffee in town!“

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

“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.“

“The cheesy corn had my attention so I decided to give it a try. My other half got the meat lovers one. The corn was unique and tasty.

I did want the side of hashbrown but he ordered it on the sandwich instead. Haha. But absolutely a delicious place.“

“Beautiful place and worth a visit“

“Ethica is brick, wood, art, good coffee and good energy. A cappuccino, a quiet corner, live music on Sundays.Simple therapy. One of those places where I can sit for hours and somehow want to leave a little piece of myself behind. Project#404“

“Amazing Service, Eats, and People!
I got an iced latte and a rasberry croissant, toasted.

Was Superb.
Loved talking to the cafe baristas and the spot was a Quaint-Adorable_Oasis in the middle of the city -- great way to start the morning!“

“Their ube cookie and hot chocolate (adding cinnamon is a must!!) were delicious. The lovely lady at the cash register was kind in answering my questions about the baked goods on display. I would absolutely recommend dropping by if you’re looking to grab a sweet treat“

“I tried the mocha and it was filled to the very top of the cup with pretty embellishment and not too sweet. I enjoyed it. Also indulged a delicious, decent size cheese scone. Yummy.
Met my friend and sat outside where there are 3 rickety tables and chairs. Also a couple small benches and stools.
Dog Central with friendly people. I did not get much of a chance to look inside since it was so busy. Chill vibes - Neighbourhood gem.“

“Outstanding attention to detail. Nice small touches with service and presentation of menu items.

I had a small breakfast, lemongrass iced tea, then an espresso. All excellent.

I was also impressed by the additional seating in the basement with a retro-cinema vibe.“

“Very nice place with amicable staff.“

“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!“

“Excellent artisan specialty coffee shop!“

“Peppermint coffee is great.“

“Best lentil soup ever! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmm“

“This is a very warm place with beautiful decor and friendly staff. The location is convenient and it is in one of the oldest multicultural neighborhoods. This cafe also has tasty goodies, sandwiches, pastries and one of the best coffees in town, De Mello. I highly recommend Ninetails Coffee Bar.“

“Almost didn’t go in but eventually decided to as our lunch spot wasn’t open yet, so I’m glad I did! I got an iced matcha with lavender syrup and it was really good.

However, when it was first made, my matcha look real bad. There were matcha clumps at the top and so the matcha obviously wasn’t mixed through properly. I don’t know if the original barista was new/training or didn’t really know the “science” behind matcha’s but I luckily didn’t have to drink it — another barista quickly took it back before I could even touch it and told the previous barista she needed to whisk it throughly first and showed her how to properly make it. Not bashing the first barista as these things can happen, especially while learning, but definitely appreciate the second barista for correcting something that many would’ve just let slide.

They also gave my dog a treat which she was very, very happy about! Highly recommended this cafe, for their drinks and service alone. Maybe bring a bike, I don’t know.“

“Visiting Toronto for first time and had the opportunity to find this cozy cafe with extremely attentive staff. Excellent coffee and pastries. My favorite the spinach and feta! Will definitely visit again if come back to Toronto. Highly recommended!“

“Try out their freshly stocked beans.“

“I visited Project Seoul with my wife and my daughter. I was told that I could not have my Tims with me and the service girl tried to throw my coffee to the trash can. I told her that I wouldn't drink it but it was full one and I just bought it. I kept my Tims coffee with me. We ordered two coffees and one slice of chocolate cake in Project Seoul. The environment is nice. Love it 💕“

“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!“

“I love Morning Parade! The drinks and treats are delicious, the space is bright, welcoming and gorgeous, and the service is incredible. I highly recommend checking out Morning Parade. It’s such a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. ❤️“

“This was a life changing oat milk cappuccino! Possibly the best I’ve ever had in Toronto (after living here my whole life). I got the barista’s suggestions for the beans and they were insanely flavorful. I could actually taste the notes that he told me about (Concord grape! Banana!) I’m so happy this place is in my neighbourhood and that I get to come back all the time. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE if you’re a coffee snob like me.“

“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.😀“

“Such a lovely coffee shop! Amazed by their varieties of drinks (tea, coffee or even cocktails!) and of course the vibes🥰 will definitely come again in the future“

“This place is the perfect gem. The ladies in the store are super friendly and made the visit quite delightful. The Yuza basque cheesecake (gluten free) and cube croissants were absolutely divine. I would be back for sure. They also recommended the Korean Fried Chicken spot next door which was super yummy.“

“Was staying in the area, and had the pleasure of getting coffee here every morning! Have never experienced such lovely customer service. The baristas bright and warm energy was exceptional. Larry’s will be a staple in any future Toronto trips!“

“I just had a pre-wedding cocktail party at Gigli Caffe, and it is such a lovely space for hosting a small event. The service was phenomenal. I can’t rave about it enough. Marco was a gem to coordinate with, and his staff were diligent, polite, and made sure our event ran smoothly.

We were served with a welcome drink and “light bites” all night, but our guests left very well fed!

I would recommend this venue to anyone.“

“Honestly, the gelato was very close to what we’ve had in Italy. The texture, flavour, and quality really reminded us of authentic Italian gelato. The cappuccino was also excellent — rich, thick, and topped with a beautiful crema, just the way we like it. A great spot to enjoy a taste of Italy right here in Toronto. Highly recommend!“

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

“A cozy cafe with friendly staff! We tried the tiramisu croffle, it was delicious! Although it didn’t taste like tiramisu, it was highly addictive.

One person can easily finish one croffle as they’re quiet small. Fair prices throughout the menu, definitely check them out!“

“By far the best coffee beans I ever bought, and I tried a lot! As soon as you open the bag you can see and smell the difference. I'll become a regular customer for sure. Love it!“

“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 ❤️“

“Loved this spot. I was searching for a pet-friendly place that served good-quality matcha, coffee, and pastries, and I found it! The staff is friendly. My mango matcha was tasty, and they served it quickly. The matcha they use is high-quality ceremonial matcha! Definitely a place to come and study or chat with people. It's a peaceful place to be.“

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

“Zoe makes the best carrot cake in the world. It is a global first place. Absolutely smashing. Run, don’t walk. Line up. To get this carrot cake.“

“Best gelato in the GTA. I gladly drive from Whitby and always leave with a smile. 😊“

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