Coffee in Leslieville/Riverside
See All Lists
1. Mercury Espresso Bar
This is my five star coffee place. I started this review 3 months ago and that's all I wrote.
The good:
- 1% feature cappuccino
- the coffee
- the staff
- the anal leakage cartoons
The bad:
- the undesirable presentation of the food I always think about…More »
2. McDonald's
I love this mcDonalds. It'a always there for me when I need it (24/7). Like this morning.
Kat F had a great birthday party last night at Prohibition, which is my favorite bar within stumbling distance of my house. I drank too many Deliriums and…More »

This is quite honestly a 5 star mcDonalds. Consider this rating a judgment of this mcDonalds vs.… Read more »
3. T-Shirt Guys Plan B - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4M 2P2
(416) 465-4443
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Florists
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I go to Plan B a lot in the winter because it's closer to my house than Mercury. Their coffee isn't that great but they have a tonne of other drinks that are great, like coke in glass bottles.
The good:
- close to my house
- lots of baked goods
- hot…More »

I can only assume that the guys who make t-shirts next door opened this as a creative expansion of… Read more »
4. Dark Horse Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M4M 1G9
(647) 436-3460
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
The Dark Horse has pretty much been covered in previous reviews. I have to say - I am a fan. My favorite things here are the baked goods, and while I was walking down there to get a banana chocolate chip muffin the other day and I composed this…More »
5. Rooster Coffee House
Rooster was busy on the Sunday that I visited and has a completely different crowd than the other local espresso bars. It's full of nice people who live in the area and want to chill on the patio with their dogs on a Sunday morning.
The good:
- GREAT…More »
6. Grinder Coffee
Toronto, ON M4M 1Z6
(416) 901-0290
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I had a really poor cappuccino here today. It was in a really big cup and bitter. Adam has made me nice drinks in the past but he wasn't there today.
The good:
- vastly extended hours - open Sundays and until 7pm most nights
- they have wifi now
- LARGE…More »

Went back to Grinder again today and there is tons of food for sale here now.
I saw:
- sandwiches (3… Read more »
7. Sideshow Café
First some background about my Coffee Time Theory. I used to travel for work and in a new city I never knew when I was in a bad neighbourhood. Especially in California where a lot of the architecture is the same, I found myself where I should not…More »
8. Red Rocket Coffee
Toronto, ON M4J 1M9

Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I have to update that nothing here has changed in that I really don't like Reunion Island coffee, and I now also don't like the older guy who has served me the last 2 times I have been here. He's friendly but he gives me the creeps and we always have…More »

Probably the friendliest coffee place staff in town. They also have cubanos on the menu, which is… Read more »
9. Merchants of Green Coffee
I want to like this place. Really.
The good:
- They have cubanos listed on the menu
- Free wifi
- They roast their own beans and I think you can buy unroasted beans too
- It's really big inside
- There is lots of parking
The bad:
- The cubano was not 'west…More »
10. Lady Marmalade
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
(647) 351-7645
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
The best:
Quote of the day from the waitress here: "The hot sausages aren't like, burn your face hot, but they've got a little kick!"
The good:
- I love how their laminated menus feel. It's like a matte lamination that is 'soft' if that makes sense…More »
11. Te Aro
I. Really. Liked. Te. Aro.
I. Really. Dislike. Strollers.
These two things seem to go hand in hand.
The good:
- The roast their own beans (but they aren't good beans)
- They have the same pastries and muffins as dark horse (but a bit less expensive)
-…More »
12. F Coffee
Toronto, ON M4M 1G4

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
F'Coffee is weird.
It is never open (M-F daytime only), they have a lot of beer, and they seemed to want me to leave even though there were no other customers. I thought at first that it must be a front for something, but upon closer investigation of…More »
13. Tango Palace Coffee Company
Toronto, ON M4M 1L2
(416) 465-8085
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I do not like this place and I do not understand the rave reviews. The main reason for my displeasure is that the guy who makes the coffee seems to hate me. He radiates dissatisfaction when he sees me (which has happened all of two times).
The good:…More »
14. Si Espresso Bar
I will probably never go here again but you should be aware that Si Espresso Bar exists.
The pros:
- it's located somewhere where there isn't any other coffee
- it's clean
- the girls who work there are super nice & friendly, but they don't know or love…More »
Recently updated lists from sarah l.
Places Where I had a Great Time (14)This is a list of places where I had a GREAT time. The food might not have been the best, the music might not have been the best, but something about my visit was awesome and I left saying 'this place is great.' Maybe it was the company, but I left feeling like everything was worth it. |
Places where I have met people from Russia (2)Here's hoping this list grows quickly! I meet Russians in the weirdest places. |
Music Stuff (4)Places I've bought guitars, guitar pedals, guitar amps, guitar strings, speakers, junk... basically where I waste all my money outside of bars. |
Breakfasts (23)I love breakfasts. These ones aren't necessarily the best, but I have been to them :) |
List of great dumps (7)Inspired by Kat's list of dumps that are happy to have us visit even if I smell like last night's booze and have to wear a hat... I present to you... my own... (drumroll)...LIST OF DUMPS! |
Chicken Wings... for better or for worse (15)I want a certain style of wing... I will accept no less than crispy, unbreaded, saucy, non ketchupy wings with veggies and bleu cheese. Some dill dips are also acceptable. |
Rotisserie Chicken (4)I didn't know you could get chickens at so many places! |
Places where I have "a guy" (3)You know those people who have "a guy" for everything? He's the go-to guy, who knows everything about whatever and cuts you a cash deal? Well... my guys usually don't cut me a cash deal, but I won't buy from anyone else at these stores. |
Turn Down Your Baby (8)Inspired by a PM from a new user criticizing my dislike of children in restaurants, I have compiled this list of places that I have met children. (P.S. Please stop asking me to babysit) |
My Favorite of My Reviews (haha) (14)These are my favorite reviews...that I have written. |
