I tried Wibke's on a visit using my Indie Coffee Passport.
There are no prices listed on the chalkboard, so I didn't know what to order to keep my drink below $4. I usually get a latte and the barista said that was ok, but made me pay 75 cents extra for soy milk. I've never had to do that at ANY of the places on the Indie Coffee Passport, and I've been to about 15 of them now! I asked for a smaller size but the barista said the drinks only come in one size: large.
Great. So I could barely taste the coffee because it was all milk in a giant cup.
I wasn't impressed and I probably won't go back. Next time I'm in the area I'll be going to Coffee Tree where I can get my drink in a more manageable size. -

Wibke's is a cute and quaint little coffee shop located in my 'hood. Bestie and I have passed by it countless times and finally decided the other day that this was it, the day had come and we were going to try it out.
I'm no longer a coffee drinker, so I can't comment on the coffee. Bestie said the latte was delish and the espresso used wasn't overly bitter. I liked that the barista (who actually is in fact the owner) took time to make it and it was really stunning on presentation with a cute design done on top in the foam. I got a black tea which was strong and smokey, just the way I like it.
We also tried a butter tart and a chocolate biscotti, the biscotti was nothing special but the butter tart was divine. It was crispy where it should be and gooey where it shouldn't be crispy. It also didn't have too many raisins in it which is a huge plus is my books. I hate when there are tons of raisins in a butter tart, in my opinion that ruins the butter tart. Raisins have their place, and that is in trail mix, not in a butter tart.Listed in: Bestie and Me, Movember Yelp Style!

Teeny tiny spaces doesn't make me claustrophobic but it does make me more aware.
I'm the kind that like to share especially seats to others because I don't mind standing.
Basically if there were 6 ppl drinking-in then I would be standing space only.
Not a big issue since most customers seem to be the on-the-move non-Macbook.
We arrived late weekend and notice the 6pm close so don't be late. 3.5'd
Friendly barista does a good Cappuccino, perfect to seat near the window...
Enjoy watching light drizzle of rain as the rush hour traffic outside takes place.Listed in: 3.5 ***Stars***, Coffee Drinks

I enjoyed a soy latte and croissant here. The owner, who is the German namesake, made the croissant herself and it was fabulous.
I actually got into one of those conversations where everyone in the cafe, all strangers, start talking to each other. It helps that all the seating up front is close together. The vibe is very friendly and welcoming and It was great to hear such a diverse set of perspectives.
I will definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. The window seats give a nice view of the Humber Cinema, which just recently opened for the first time in 8 years!
An excellent find!
By the way, Wibke is pronounced vib-kuh. -

Toronto has no shortage of cafes and sometimes you think they're all located downtown. Last weekend, I traveled to Wibke's at Bloor and Jane, which is located right across the street from the Humber Cinema.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I was greeted by the owner, Wibke. She is lovely and very friendly. I had planned to stay there for a few minutes, maybe even read my book, but I ended up chatting with her and her friend about our day and learning the fundamentals of Twitter for a while. I could tell from stepping through her front door that the level of comfort and friendliness is turned up to high; everyone that visits is greeted like an old friend.
The décor is simple and clean. All of the seating is located in the front. There's two stools at the bar and three tables with chairs and a bench that runs across the window. Currently, there's a series of Holga photography about urban exploration hanging on the wall.
It was a particularly warm day and I cooled down with a large iced latte. I kept my blood sugar levelled by eating one of her gluten-free cranberry granola bars. All of her baked goods are made by her and they're damn delicious. I missed out on her banana bread and croissants; these are her hot commodities.
The café is a little bit out of my way but it was well-worth the trip. It brought me to a neighbourhood I hardly ever think to visit. Given that there's a Coffee Time nearby, I hope more people, both area locals and visitors from other parts of the city, will discover this place and support it.
I also overheard Wibke mention that her opening party will be sometime in September, which sounds like a lot of fun! -
Review from Elvis A.
This cafe is located way on the west end of TO.
The setup is nice clean and functional. The Barista was busy baking the goodies when I walked in.
I went for my cappuccino and asked that it be with a sweetener.
The barista took her time making my drink which is highly appreciated. Meanwhile there was a steady flow of customers who seemed to be regulars here.
The cappuccino looked decent (OK attempt at latte art) there was nice crema though the frothing could have been better. Slightly burnt taste on the espresso. Decent drink
4 star for the setup
3 stars for the cappuccino.
I wouldn't mind coming back here if I am in the area.
Free WiFi. -

Wibke's Espresso Bar is conveniently located near Jane Subway Station and Moksha Yoga Bloor St West...
Nice cute cafe. When I walked in I just feel like it is just so white..... pine tables, white chairs, white walls.. Wibke reminds me of Ikea?!
The barista is so friendly and nice. Making small talks with all the customers.
I used my Indie Coffee Passport for a Cappuccino... The drink was fine....my latte art looked curiously like a cloud? or I need to use more imaginations? a flower? an atomic bomb?
Free WIFI... I having fun checking in and thinking where to go next using my Yelp App..while my Friend wondering why I made him walked all the way here! -

Dropped by this afternoon after seeing Wibke's on Yelp.
There's not a lot of smaller coffee shops in the area (being stuck with Coffee Time, Timothy's, and the terrible service at Coffee Tree), so Wibke's is a welcomed addition.
I'll start by saying the service is friendly and welcoming. The interior of the shop was ho-hum, but very clean and well kept. I hope people actual take note of the coffee house, because it's a bit out of view from Jane Station.
The drip coffee I had was great, very bold, but flavourful. Prices are reasonable, and there were fresh baked pastries as well, although I did not try them.
I look forward to stopping by again in the coming days on my walks around the neighborhood. Good coffee and a simple goes a long ways, so I hope people start flocking to this place. -

New Expresso bar in Bloor West Villiage, across the street from the Humber Cinema. Small place with limited seating, but since it's near the intersection of Bloor and Streets, it seems to be setup to cater to folks heading to from the Jane Subway Station. They just opened and everything looks quite new.
My Americano was good, but this is really a takeout joint. -

Some of the best coffee I've had (and certainly better than anything else nearby.) She also has some excellent homemade baked treats. Excellent and friendly service! Highly recommended.
