“IMHO this is by far one of the best artisan coffee in Toronto! The barista is very knowledgeable and knows his craft very well. The decaf flat white that I had was well balance and rounded - the chocolate notes, coffee sweetness and caramel tartness .. all blended together seamlessly. Such joy! Thanks barista for making a gloomy day brighter ?“
“I got a decaf banana Bread Latte. It was delicious! With no tip the latte was $8, so not cheap. I wish the sizes went up to 16 oz, because for $8 you're paying for a standard 12 oz medium latte. The staff were great, they have cute things to buy there (the to go mugs almost got me). Space wise there are sit down options, not huge, but you can easily spend an hour or so there. I'd go back, but just for a treat, and not as a regular.“
“Had a wonderful visit to Toronto with 2 mornings spent at Ethica! The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is top tier for greb-and-go coffeeshop vibes, and I had the most flavorful flat white I (someone who grew up in the coffee industry, and who drinks one almost daily) has ever had! Only complaint was from some people who got drip or pour over but preferred a darker roastVegetarian options: Breakfast sammy was amazing!“
“Found is a great little Aussie coffee shop here in the 6. The coffee was excellent on par with Melbourne’s offer. The problem is why is an Aussie coffee shop still asking for tips? This is 2022 — please pay your servers a livable wage and don’t have them needing to leer over customers on the iPad register.“
“Amazing place with great food and cafe vibes☕️ great for chilling or getting work done! For drinks, we got a hot matcha latte and a hot mocha (it was cool that you could choose the chocolate base for the mocha!) Craving for sweet food, we also went ahead and got three cookies?they were DELICIOUS!! Would rate the salted chocolate cookie > oatmeal raisin cookie > peanut butter cookie?Would definitely recommend to give it a try!! Will revisit this hidden gem soon “
“My favourite place to get coffee. Amazing coffee and super friendly staff! Although I noticed the place has been really cold and I would assume it is probably the last thing you would want in such freezing weather. Too bad because I would love to sit and relax it weren’t for the cold. Hope it gets fixed soon!“
“Peanut butter JELLY (CELLY) TIME!Unreal coffee, super full of phenomenal, knockout and game changing flavors from an ethical, sustainably and small crafted local coffee Roasters in downtown. I hauled a bag of Left Hook and La Madrugada which boasted exceptional tones and deliver a delish espresso or long cup of joe.Support local coffee roasters!“
“Very fairly priced and delicious drinks. Plenty of seating and cozy ambiance. Tried the latte and matcha latte, both were great especially given the price point (~$1 less in price compared to similar chains with similar quality). You can buy their beans as well - they have a section inside just for that.“
“Great Atmosphere. Amazing variety of different weekly specials. I tried the Blue Sakura. Service was also great, the barista working was so calm and focused even with the rush of people ordering. Perfect to sit and have a talk, study by yourself or get some work done.“
“This is a very nice coffee place. Especially on a Sunday with an abundance of children and parents reading stories to their families. There is no music. Or at least, there was no music when we were there. The decor is a tad severe in the sense of an abundant of hard services that make the acoustics not very good.“
“Probably the best place in the city for coffee. The only true coffee shops I've found in the city are Fahrenheit and Third Wave and they usually have 3 beans on offer but these guys had 10! Incredible! If MC Hammer were to do a commercial for these guys he wouldn't do no ridiculous dance in no ridiculous pants. He would just look at the camera and go, "proper!"“
“Such a cute cafe this was. Food was kinda on the pricey side but it was very tasty and healthy so that makes it up for it. The coffee was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, the staffs were welcoming, it’s a 5/5 experience for me. Will definitely go back again.“
“Amazing dark roast coffee and their customer service is top notch. I ordered a 2lbs dark roast coffee online and the entire process was easy. They go above and beyond to ensure quick delivery and make their customers happy. I definitely recommend this coffee roasters.“
“If you’re looking for an incredible place to order your freshly roasted coffee beans, look no further! Java roasters offer an incredible selection. Their beans are roasted to perfection. The flavour profiles, do not disappoint. If you’re looking to make an amazing cup of coffee at home, look no further. Java roasters know how to satisfy your palate. This is one of my favourite Canadian roasters. Their service is also top-notch. Don’t hesitate- give them a try!“
“Visited this place few days back and had a wonderful experience. This place offers an amazing selection of drinks, pastries, and croissants. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the pastries were fresh and delicious. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. I would highly recommend De Mello for anyone looking for a great coffee and pastry experience in the city.“
“Came here to study for a couple hours; vibe was nice and I was able to get a lot of work done. There’s also a lot of seating which was nice. I tried the iced matcha latte which was kind of expensive and tasted okay. Might visit again to study :)“
“Cute cafe on Ossington. I loved their variety of pastries and the amount of natural light in the space. It was cozy and a nice place to spend a slow morning. Note: they don't have free wifi, so a great place to meet a friend and chat but probably not to work. Good variety of seating too!“
“Came across this cute shop and decided to try their cold press juices. The staff was so helpful and kind, it made my experience so amazing! I love that their juices are always fresh and the ingredients listed on the front is everything in them. I will definitely be back for more juices and to try their other products!!“
“I wish I could go beyond 5 stars! This place is currently my favourite coffee shop. From the costumer service to the coffee experience everything is amazing! Juan, gives amazing insights to help you navigate your coffee journey and has helped me discover new notes and flavours. My favourite order so far is the Long Black, a must try if you are a coffee lover!“
“I was visiting family in Toronto and we were visiting Liberty Village. We wanted to get a drink so went to Balzac's. It's a really nice coffee shop and I loved that the tiled floor matches the pattern on their cups. We ordered our drinks and they were prepared really quickly. They were hot and tasty.“
“OMG I was such a klutz; bumped the table and spilled my latte everywhere. One of the baristas was over in a second to clean everything and make me a new one. And it wasn’t just the service that impressed me… the prices are the most reasonable I’ve seen in the past decade, the latte was unbelievably tasty, and they were very quick with their service. I wish I lived in this city so I could come here alllllll the time. Definitely bought some beans to go. Thank you for the great experience ❤️“
“I discovered Coffee Tree when I lived in the Bloor West neighbourhood, amazing beans, very friendly staff. Now, though I live a little further away, I return regularly to enjoy their warm environment and stock up on my coffee and tree supply for home. I'm grateful to see, during COVID, that you're continuing to deliver! You definitely provide an essential service for me.“
“The renowned pilot roasters lives up to its nameGreat espresso. Very smooth and perfectly steamed milk. Espresso goes down really nicely that I had to hold back so I could enjoy it longer. Cortado was perfect, which I forgot to snap a pic of and the latte was also on pointThe place has a minimalist aesthetic and very nice cafe vibe. On nice days, you can sit outside on their patio tooThey also have their roasts ready along a wall where you can browse that and other coffee paraphernaliaBarista was super friendly striking up a convo with my friend and I, which was niceGreat job overall!“
“Cafe Nordique and the Citro-Booster were phenomenal, as always. Tables are crowded together (especially if one gas luggage) and there aren't enough. I had to sit on the ledge by the crates and kept banging my head on a sign. I suppose one could say that people aren't there too long if going to Pearson, however, I was there for a good 20 minutes and a trio of young men were there longer and taking up 2 tables plus part of the ledge I was perched on.“
“Cool people, cool coffee. ☕️ If you're looking for suggestions on which coffee beans to get for your flavor profile, the staff can give you some great recommendations. I love their non-acidic blends, particularly the Brazil (Toriba) beans. You’ll easily be able to find information like the roasting date, elevation, etc.If you're a coffee enthusiast like me, give this place a shot; if you know what you want, you'll most likely find it here! ?I've been getting my beans from here for the past 6 months or so, and I prefer my daily brew to be non-acidic. They have some really good options out here! Give it a shot!“
“Had a wonderful time at Plearn Cafe.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend ☆☆☆☆☆ Good Vibe A great place to chill and hangout. The drink's sweetness was just right, no need to ask for less sugar. ☆☆☆☆☆ Kids friendly My 3yo toddler approved.“
“The ladies here are lovely and my kids love their cookies. They are huge!My special favourite thing is their hazelnut mocha. So lovely :)I also find the large table to throw me off but my kids don't seem to mind it so gonna live with it!“
“A cafe opened by Hongkonger embedded with lots of details. They have two kind of coffee beans you can go for, which are fruity and nutty. They also offer hand drip coffee. Music was amazing too because I love jazz and classic genres. It’s a nice place to have a chat with your friend or spending some me time by the window. Will definitely go back!Parking: The parking is just right behind the cafe, where the back entrance is.“
