1. Dark Horse Espresso
Toronto, ON M5T 2C7
(416) 979-1200
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
You know, those places where you go to relax, work, write your yelp reviews, and, meanwhile, grab a cup of decent coffee and a muffin? Dark Horse is exactly for these situations.
I'm yet to have a coffee there that is truly amazing, but I like the…More »
2. Starbucks Coffee Company
Toronto, ON M6S 1M4
(416) 761-9402
Category:
Food
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
Small standard starbucks. Conveniently located beside High Park, they are now my default choice since Cafe Novo banned artificial sweeteners from their menu.
Their staff is very friendly and they have a water bowl outside for your dog. Unfortunately…More »
3. Bulldog Coffee
I can understand the overhype about this place. The prices are ok, and they make a very good impression by personalizing your drink with great latte art. And you can really call it 'art', they do amazing designs on every single cup.
I was served by a…More »
4. Crema Coffee Co.
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z9
(416) 767-3131
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Used to be awesome. The last three times I went there, service was poor, tables were packed, and the mocha served on the Starbucks across the street tasted much better. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
I took a friend there, to show him this nice cafe, and he…More »

You don't even need to ask for a dark evil black short coffee. When you ask for a espresso, they… Read more »
5. David's Tea
Toronto, ON M6S 1P1
(416) 769-9991
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
It seems I have found the best tea in Toronto. The clean décor of David's Tea will invite you to come in, and their flavours will make you come back.
I went there on a hot summer day and had a delicious refreshing citrus iced tea, and bought…More »
6. Lunch Box
Toronto, ON M6P 1B2

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Vegetarian,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: High Park
This was my very first Canadian stop when I arrived in Toronto one month ago. I asked for a "Traditional Canadian Breakfast Food with maple syrup" and they got me some french toasts. They were lovely and I became a fan of this awesome place.
Now and…More »
7. Alternative Grounds Coffee House
Toronto, ON M6R 2M8
(416) 534-5543
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Gotta love this coffee!!! True feeling of Roncy: cool without being overhyped.
Go there with your date or best friend, share a giant cup of latte/mocha/cappuccino (REALLY GIANT) and have some of their delicious treats. May I suggest the date squares,…More »
8. Brewed Awakening Elite Event @ Lit Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M6G 1C9
(416) 519-1884
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Awesome event. Thanks everybody.
It was really hot inside and Kat provided those refreshing thingys (bagsicles? do you actually have a name for those? I LOVE them! Felt like a child!) but the event was about coffee, right? So, let's start from the…More »
9. Timothys Coffees of the World
Toronto, ON M6S 1N3
(416) 769-6663
Category:
Food
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
This is my favourite Timothy's. They offer REALLY free Wi-Fi, they have outside tables for the sunny days and a friendly staff.
Oh yes, it's also close enough to my home. I use to prefer Timothy's instead of Starbucks because of their Lattes and…More »
10. The Common
Cheap decent coffee, free (password protected) wi-fi. Looks awesome, eh?
Of course. I had to wait 15 minutes in line to be served (giant line, one barista who loves to talk with customers and acts as a cashier too), terribly hot inside and a crappy…More »
11. Espresso Mi Vida
Toronto, ON M6P 2R2
(416) 761-0000
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Simple decoration, so-so service, but really, really great food and coffee hides beneath the Pacific and Dundas W corner. They offer equatorianish cuisine, some vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free treats and awesome coffee - beware if you're not used to…More »
12. Manic Coffee
Toronto, ON M5T 1T3
(416) 966-3888
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I was there today and bought the Black Cat. They have the most awesome muffins I've ever tried, I could count three whole berries inside the giant muffin. And offered me a shot of a real, short, dark espresso ristretto. This is hard, hard to find.

13. Lit Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M6G 1C9
(416) 519-1884
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Love the baristas, love the coffee, love the food. I avoid going there because I tend to overeat and drink fancy espresso beverages, I feel veery guilty.
You can't resist their baristas' smile asking you if you want something eeelse? Of course. I…More »
14. T Cafe - CLOSED
It's definetely a hipster place, as you can notice by the number of people using brand new Macbooks while drinking overpriced tea in a hot spring afternoon.
I asked for a bland iced tea and almost had a heart attack when they told me the price - and…More »
15. Cafe Novo
Toronto, ON M6P 3K9
(647) 350-3538
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: High Park
Has lost stars with me because they don't offer artificial sweetener anymore. I'm really sorry, I like the drinks, the ambiance, but not giving me the option of having a calorie-free sweetener (they told me it was "too expensive") is not reasonable…More »

16. The Second Cup
North York, ON M2P 2E5
(416) 229-1104
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Hogg's Hollow
I sat at this Second Cup today, for half a minute, while I was deciding what I was going to have, staring at their menu. I always do this before choosing.
So, after sitting for no more than 30 seconds, the owner told me the tables were only for…More »
17. Nova Era Bakery
Toronto, ON M6G 1C6
(416) 516-1622
Categories:
Bakeries,
Portuguese
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
I was going clubbing and tried this traditional portuguese bakery.
I felt like I was back in Brazil, where most bakeries are run by portuguese or italian families (I'm half italian, and my family used to have a bakery, obviously). Food is good, but…More »
18. I Deal Coffee
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z7
(416) 534-7700
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
So, it seems people are starting to learn how to make good coffee. I like when I ask a barista for an espresso ristretto and he or she doesn't look at me like "what?". At Ideal the barista just made me a very short dark and great shot of espresso.…More »
19. Balzac's Coffee Roastery
Toronto, ON M6K 1X1
(416) 534-7372
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
Not even close in appearance or quality to its sister unit in Distillery District, I was quite disappointed when I asked for an espresso and it was just "meh".
There was a guy eating noodles inside and I couldn't get it. Noodles inside a café? The…More »
20. Lit Espresso Bar - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 538-9700
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
It's more like a kiosk than a proper espresso bar, but does the job of providing nice mochas and their delicious sea salt brownies.
It's cool because you can hang out around the design store while having coffee, but it's not the same thing than going…More »
21. Crafted by Te Aro
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z6
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods
Just across the street from my yoga, this place is heaven on earth (specially if you were used to I Deal). You have always smiling baristas, awesome music, great Tealish loose leaf tea selection (try their spicy chai!), and they even add vanilla…More »
22. Spice Safar - CLOSED
It is one of those places to impress your SO or date. I had a very well prepared, smooth and delicious cappuccino, served by a friendly barista.
I like the décor and the open concept. They lose some points for playing boring-cafe-songs and being…More »
23. Starbucks
Toronto, ON M4R 2H1
(416) 488-1930
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
Tiny little starbucks, gets really busy in the morning - it's a place to work your zen abilities, they WILL screw your order somehow. Even if it's something they had written in the chalkboard. Don't take it personally, happens with everyone. Happened…More »
24. Herbal Infusions Tea Co
A nice addition to the douche district! A few blocks away from work (I REALLY like where I work), and offering very interesting tea selections, I am already hooked!
I found them by chance (and, please don't tell Yelp managers, but they do offer deals…More »
25. La Merceria
I'm still not sure if it's a coffee shop or gift store. Either way, I feel like spending some time there. The food smells, looks and tastes awesome, and portions are BIG. Try an empanada!
Now, let's start a new paragraph for their beverages: as an…More »
