1. Bisogno Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M5A 2P8
Canada
(416) 301-7633
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Corktown
Come here to satisfy your urge for everything delicious.
My espresso was fucking terrific. So was my expertly made chai latte. And my Gryfe's bagel toasted with cream cheese was pillowy, crunchy goodness. They have all sorts of baked goods, exotic…More »
2. Blondie's
Toronto, ON M6K 1L7
Canada
(416) 532-7410
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
The cafe by day, bar by night concept is a wise one, and it's more than welcome on this shady strip of real estate on west Queen West among the more dilapidated storefronts.
As a person who's relatively new to the coffee game, I can't describe my…More »
3. Mercury Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M4M 1J4
Canada
(647) 435-4779
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
NOW OPEN TILL 8PM EVERY DAY.
Holy shit, this makes me unreasonably happy. No longer shall I wander the city desperately searching for a non-chain cappuccino shop that's open past 6pm (harder to find than you'd think). I'm thrilled.

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
Holy shit this place is a circus act. Mike S and I couldn't hold back tears of laughter and we weren't the least bit discreet about it. Inexplicably this is a bicycle enthusiasts' hangout and there are dozens of them loafing around the storefront.

5. Dark Horse Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M4M 1G9
Canada
(647) 436-3460
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Don't come here on a low self-esteem day, cause you'll leave feeling ugly. All of the baristas (male and female) are gorgeous in addition to being friendly and able to make a stellar cappuccino ($2.25).
They sell Tea In The Sahara looseleaf tea here…More »
6. Dark Horse Espresso
Toronto, ON M5T 2C7
Canada
(416) 979-1200
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
Went back to Dark Horse for a second shot at getting some work done and was quite productive! It turns out that the one hour wi-fi limit is imposed by the building that houses Dark Horse, not the café itself. Phew! In exchange for a stunning ambiance…More »

Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Little Italy
After another colossal fail at brunching chez Saving Grace (frankly, my last ever attempt), I was grumpy. I needed a hot beverage and freshly baked snack and Ella's Uncle delivered.
Ella's Uncle is clearly no longer a "best kept secret" - it was at…More »

Toronto, ON M4L 1E9
Canada
(416) 801-6685
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I love it here, and I feel bad visiting too often. I don't want owners Sean and Julie to kick me to the curb, or worse, start charging me rent - I already pay it just around the corner, but the decor and atmosphere here are oodles more inviting.

This is a lovely and massive loft space hidden just north of Queen & Broadview. Come here to get work done in peace, away from the crowds logjamming Dark Horse East. The hardwood floors are gorgeous and there are plenty of places to sit - sofas,…More »

See all the green to the left of the marker on that there Google map? Yeah. It's a park. And you have full view of its gorgeosity directly from Rooster Coffee House's sweet front patio. As I took photos and absorbed everything I loved about this…More »
12. Bulldog Coffee
Toronto, ON M5B 1H9
Canada
(416) 923-3469
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Happy to report nothing at Bulldog has changed:
- elitist barista attitude still intact
- drinks ($3 cappuccino) still perfect
But who really gives a toss if you're getting it to go?
Carry on.

13. Broadview Espresso
5 stars for the coffee - truly dynamite espresso and wet cappuccinos are made here using Classic Gourmet beans from just north of Toronto. At $3.25 (single) or $3.50 (double), cappuccinos here are cheaper than many other "indie" coffee shops and…More »

Te Aro owners Jesse & Andy are lovely people - both impossibly gorgeous, friendly in a small-town-neighbourhood kinda way and they've created a lovely space out of a former autoshop. Te Aro in the summertime is especially wonderful thanks to the…More »

Late night coffee + even later night ice cream = the capture of Kat F's heart.
How delighted was I to be able to get a coffee at 7:58pm here the other day? Dead fucking chuffed, I'll tell ya. The cappuccinos here are cheap ($2.75 for a double shot)…More »
16. Jimmy's Coffee
I've very much warmed up to Jimmy's Coffee and it's become one of my favourites. Yes it's true, I was not a fan of the hot chocolate on my first visit, but as of my fifth, sixth, seventh visit and beyond, I've been loving their cappuccinos (the…More »

Ritual, I've been looking for you, and I finally found you. Deadly sharp coffee served up in a beautiful setting - exactly what I was looking for.
