Have been coming here almost daily for coffee since moving into the neighborhood five years ago. The staff are like family and go out of their way to treat my children with kindness and enthusiasm. Coffee is Detour and there is no charge for alternative milks. I miss when they had a lunch/dinner menu! But the snacks and pastries they have now are really good also. My favourite back patio in the city.

Very cute. Great selection on tap and in the fridge. Very no-nonsense spot that doesn't put on airs. Great place to hang out.

You know what I like about this place? The bartenders have good taste in music. You can try before you buy and they are nice people inside. Be kind!Not many places like it. The Only Cafe is worth a visit.Do yourself a favour a hit up Ananda Shankar on whatever streaming garbage you use. If you can dig it, you’ll like The Only Cafe

I walked past this place last night and decided to drop in for beer. Wow. The jazz band was out of this world. Didn't get their name but will be back. Service was excellent. But the band was world class. Will be back often.

I usually go during the daytime and work. It is a great atmosphere and a pleasant change from working at home. The coffee, tea and snacks are really good. There is so much seating and a cool funky vibe!I just went for my first time at night. This place is a cafe and has a separate bar, back patio and hostel. I had an awesome bartender on the cafe side. She recommended two amazing beers based on my likes and was so friendly and awesome. Thank you Talon and the whole Only Cafe team for this unique cafe that is warm, welcoming and fun!

Step into The Only Cafe and prepare to be embraced like an old friend in this cozy sanctuary of craft beer goodness. Here, the bartenders go beyond just pouring drinks – they're your friendly companions, eager to share their expertise and suggest the perfect brew for your palate.Once you've made your selection, venture into the inviting patio spaces adorned with charming wooden accents and vibrant greenery. Whether you're seeking a serene spot at the back for a moment of solitude or joining the lively atmosphere up front with friends, there's a perfect nook for everyone to unwind and soak in the ambiance.And as the weekend rolls around, get ready to enjoy some great live music, adding an extra layer of joy to your experience.These are the moments that transform a regular night out into a cherished memory you'll fondly look back on.

I really liked the candy crush cider they offer. We had a good time and the live music was nice.
