The team at the Library bar are the best baristas in the city. They really are artisans of their craft. Don’t waste your time going to Matcha Matcha. Why?Why? Because Because I don’t need to repeat the obvious.

[Matcha review only]
Veeeery underwhelming matcha latte with a disappointing price tag.

I ordered a standard iced matcha latte with less sugar at The Library and the total came to almost $9. I don't usually order matcha outside because of how pricey it is nowadays, but I was craving it and now I'm regretting it.

The matcha is so incredibly faint, it honestly just tasted like I was drinking milk. The staff were so incredibly nice, but the matcha latte was just not it. I'd maybe come back and try their coffees since that's what they're known for, but there is a Matcha Matcha across the street if you specifically want a matcha latte!

this little hidden gem made me the best latte I've ever had in my life. It is pretty tight in there, minimal seating, so it is not a place to sit and enjoy your beverage... but enjoy it you definitely will! Staff were perfectly lovely and very friendly.

Good coffee but lacking any desirable surroundings in which to drink. Very utilitarian.

Absolutely loved their matcha!

Amazing oat latte. Perfect ratio of espresso to oat milk, and the right beans for latte. If you like your lattes foamy, you will love this one. Barista was extremely friendly. Overall just a good experience <3

straightforward and simple process for a latte. high quality beans and not too blistering hot so i can actually drink it. good overall!

Small cafe, nowhere to sit really. Coffee is good but very expensive. Almost $9 for a mocha after tax, not including tip. Good for a grab and go.

Recommend:
Pour-over with house vanilla syrup and milk – lovely soy-honey aftertaste, though a bit pricey at around $10.

Also good:
Cappuccino – balanced and smooth.

Skip:
Cold brew – too bitter for my taste.

This place serves up the best specialty coffee in DT Toronto. Graination was the 2nd best cafe that we found. Being from Vancouver, we have a very strong scene, so we do research on the top spots wherever we travel too in Canada, and abroad. The baristas are very friendly and they know what they are doing!

The coffee was great! There is nowhere to sit but since I wasn't dining in, it wasn't an issue for me.
