Fantastic local coffee shop in Dundas West serving Hale Coffee. I always enjoy their americano — it’s the perfect blend: smooth, balanced, and never sour or acidic.
The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making it one of those neighbourhood cafés you always want to return to. There aren’t a ton of seats, but if you’re lucky, you’ll snag the bench outside - the perfect spot to sip your coffee and watch Dundas West traffic go by.
A true hidden gem for coffee lovers in Toronto. ☕

This is a local coffee shop that every morning I go to because the brewed coffee, specialty drinks and local fresh treats every morning are part of the charm you experience in Toronto with our diverse cafe scene.
They have exceptional coffee, the best I've had in city. No idea what their secret is but it's truly the best treat in the morning.
My usual is a fresh cup of coffee and a bacon and egg sandwich. They have a selection of choices though.
The staff here are so warm, friendly and have that kind of energy that will remind you of extended friends/family. Always asking how you are and getting to know you, remembering your drinks, even little fun details and will make jokes that you won't be able to help but smile.
Katie and Raichel are two great examples. All smiles, energy, and put so much heart into their drinks. Whether it is Katie's contagious laugh and recommendations or Raichel listening to you speak with a raspy voice and making you a lemon shot tea fused with honey. The staff love what they do and people, and you can feel they love their community.
Our community is brighter because cafes like this bringing locals together and I would highly recommend anyone in the Little Portugal to stop by and have a cup of coffee here.

Went during Do West Festival 2025, both the iced chai and matcha I got here were disappointed. Just very watered down and lacked any of the flavours you normally would find in each drinks.

Really cute coffee shop. Owner/worker was so sweet. We got a slice of cake over at moonmilk shop a few doors down and got coffee at Cygnet. Great seating at the front of shop.

Great coffee shop to stop by. Super kind and friendly Barista. Coffee was awesome.
Stopped by Cygnet Easter Sunday for a take out coffee and will not return. Service by the cashier was horrible as she was extremely rude. Coffee was below standard for the area.

This gem of a coffee shop on the edge of Little Portugal is an absolute must stop for any serious coffee lover. The coffee, whatever you order, is consistently amazing and wonderfully crafted. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly.
The shop is small so the seating is necessarily limited, but there are a few spaces outside in the good weather. The atmosphere is cosy and amenable to a good coffee and chat.

A cool spot in middle of town. Nice vibe and friendly staff. Only drawback would be lack of outlet for charging! But it’s alright.

If you're looking for the best coffee in town, you've definitely come to the right place! The place is small, cozy, and friendly. By the way, the girls who work here are incredibly friendly. My favorite place to get coffee!
