Beans - Rufino Espresso Bar Was in the neighborhood and have driven by this place many times. Finally tried it out. It was nicely occupied with patrons outside tables and inside tables. Definitely a local joint feel. I had a Flat White. I usually assess the cafe by their care and craft of the drink. The Flat White was too hot as this drink only needs steamed milk. Steamed too hot, it loses its sweetness and milk overpowers the coffee. This was the case. The cafe offered quite a plenty of treats to accompany the drink. I did not order however the patron before me ordered a lot indicating that they have solid treats. If you want non pretentious cafe with casual vibe this is the place you can try out.

Nice place to hang out with your dog. Slow pace. Neighborhood feel. Great coffee. Outdoor seating isn’t comfy but the vibe is neat.

Matcha is not good at all! Taste like only milk as you can see from the color

I can’t tell you how much I adore this coffee shop. The coffee is amazing, the service is always top tier and all the workers are just so efficient yet still deliver top quality drink. Also can we talk about how good the prices are?? You don’t see those types of prices anymore at any other coffee shops. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute and good coffee shop

Some people describe this as a great weekend spot. I think it’s great all the time for the same reasons that they like it. The coffee is excellent compared to other places I have been to. The atmosphere and vibe is just right and they have absolutely wonderful staff. Congratulations to all.

Sumach espresso has been such a beautiful place full of familiar faces. A true neighbourhood spot that is more than a coffee shop. Thank you Sumach for being the perfect spot to fuel our weekend walks.

Drinks are just Ok, noting exceptional! Asked for unsweetened drink, got a sweetened one, asked baristas to remake, didn’t like their attitude! Was not my fault the made it sweetened first time! :((

I love the place and happy it’s in the neighborhood, but I wish their coffees was just as good as Darkhorse or dare I even say, Starbucks. The last time I was there, the chai latte was luke warm and the chai flavor was mild/barely there, I had to microwave it when I got home. Not okay. Please, step up your coffee game.

Cute interior, super friendly staff, matcha latte was great, breakfast sandwich was so fresh, and love that their up charge for plant based milks is reasonable!
I have been to Sumach Espresso on many occasions when I'm on Holiday in Toronto, and I can't recommend it enough! It has a welcoming, sunny, independent vibe and the staff are kind, attentive, friendly and truly customer oriented. (And go above and beyond to meet customer's beverage requests). The coffee is always splendid and the lunch rolls are generously made with a variety of delicious fillings, and warmed to perfection for a crispy, toasty, tasty lunch. I also want to mention that S.E sells the best of the best almond croissants in the city. But get there early because they sell out fast!

Unfortunately this place just lost a long time customer. Ive coming here for 3 years with my elderly dog in his carrying case (which is on me and he is wrapped in a towel, like a front baby carrier) as he is very old and cannot stand outside. This has never been a problem before and we have happily been getting coffees here for years. The barista today told me that we are not allowed in the store and it's policy. I completely understand when a dog is on the ground or has potential to bite, or get into something like food product. But we have enjoyed morning coffee for many years like this and this treatment from the staff was extremely disappointing. I will no longer be recommending this coffee shop to anyone in our neighborhood

Great coffee shop in the regent park area. Amazing vanilla latte (iced and warm are both amazing).
Lots of outlets if you’re interested in working there. Music also is a great vibe and not insanely loud so doesn’t bother you too much.
