Review from Dishan W.

If you're around the UofT Campus and looking for good cheap coffee, head on over to Diabolos' located in the JCR at the University College. They get their coffee supplied from Moonbean Coffee at Kensington so you know the grind here's going to be just fine. If you're new to the area and get lost inside the UC building, you might want to stop and ask someone where the JCR is tucked away in.
In addition to coffee there's tea, soup (for the winter) as well as a small variety of cold beverages, rolls/wraps/frozen entrées and baked goods you're most likely going to find at most indie coffee spots around the city with some good vegan options available as well.
Only cash (or UT meal plan) is accepted though. The JCR also provides one of the more comfortable and relaxed atmospheres around campus to enjoy your coffee or lunch with their huge comfy couches.
They don't offer much in terms of variety of your beverage, but on a student budget, a location like Diabolos' that's run by students is a great and rare treat on campus. -

The location of this coffee bar is great. There is a piano, long wooden tables and chairs, plush couches and bathrooms conveniently located.
But there are a few things that can be quiet inconvenient: major lack of plug ins (which is odd considering most people come here to study), they only accept cash, there always seems to be something wrong (i.e.: coffee machine is broken, soup is out, water warming is not working), and at at times, you may have to wait because the baristas will be lounging on the couches rather than behind the counter.
So why 4 stars? Because this is the closest thing to an indie coffee shop experience on the UofT campus. I love the people who work here - friendly and relaxed. And the prices! "Mature baked goods" (from yesterday) for 50cents each. Can't beat that. Affordable coffee, tea, wraps, baked goods. The only thing that I would appreciate is if they could heat up the wraps. But then again, it's a small space and I don't really know how much equipment they could have back there.
For now, this is my go-to study spot.
