About The Only Cafe

The Only Cafe has a unique charm that grows on you. Although it can be chaotic, the staff's personable nature and extensive beer selection make it a great spot. Customers can enjoy a coffee shop-style cafe with baked goods and the option to bring outside food. The coffee, priced reasonably, is a highlight, and the free alternative milk is a welcome bonus. The back patio is a favorite for many regulars, who appreciate the kindness and enthusiasm shown by the staff towards children. The available snacks and pastries are delicious. The decor is interesting and creates a cozy, vibrant atmosphere that makes visitors feel welcome. The space is huge and has three sections, including a proper Irish bar type of section and a piano. There are many types of seating, some intimate and some shareable. Live music adds a fantastic touch, enhancing the lively vibe. Order up the Pretzels; they are delicious. The Only Cafe offers the best beer rotation in the city, and its lavender lemonade is a standout, making it a place where people can comfortably spend an entire day. Service is often amazing, with staff taking time to give helpful advice and making everyone feel at home. The ambiance is very comfortable, perfect for both socializing, relaxing alone, and working from a cafe. While the downstairs washrooms have graffiti, it's suggested that more monitoring could help prevent the spread of potentially harmful messages. Overall, The Only Cafe is a character-filled spot on the Danforth with great drinks, treats, and a friendly atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.
