1. Te Aro
Toronto, ON M4M 1K2
Canada
(416) 465-2006
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I've been to their Ossington location and heard great things about the Leslievile cafe so even though I wasn't particularly craving a latte, I had to drop in. I love the decor and atmosphere of this place. It's large, open, with plenty of tables. I…More »
2. Dark Horse Espresso
Toronto, ON M5T 2C7
Canada
(416) 979-1200
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
Fantastic cafe with a cool vibe. The large communal tables, wood, brick interior and the 2nd level overlooking the espresso bar really makes this place stand out. It's a great place to meet friends, work and while I'd like to go their to read, the…More »
3. Olive et Gourmando
Just so happened to stumble into this place because it started to rain. I'm enamoured with this place. Cute, welcoming, unique decor that has a homey feel to it. We were first seated, then advised that all the coffee/baked goods were to be ordered…More »
4. Caffè Artigiano
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S2
Canada
(604) 694-7737
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Mmm...this place just warms my heart. I love it. It's the best coffee chain in Vancouver (please come to Toronto, won't ya?). I can't help but feel better about spending just a tad more when the barista presents me my latte with his/her rosetta leaf…More »
5. Jimmy's Coffee
Jimmy's is somewhat tucked away on Portland but there's usually a sandwich sign on the north east corner of King & Portland pointing you to the right direction. Once you walk in, it's as though you're taken away into a little cozy neighbourhood cafe…More »
6. Sense Appeal Coffee Roasters
Toronto, ON M5V 2J6
Canada
(416) 907-8524
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Love the look of this place - high ceilings, exposed brick, distressed wooden shelves & bar counter by the window. They actually have two espresso machines so two baristas can work back to back on the drinks. It's pretty awesome being able to see…More »
7. The Green Grind
Toronto, ON M6G 1A9
Canada
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
Spacious, bright, friendly service and the large yummy latte was a lot larger than expected - probably a bit more than 16 ounces. I couldn't finish it, I guess I was latte'd out.
There's plenty of seating with a large communal table, a few small…More »
8. Philz Coffee
Finally made it to Philz after hearing so much about it from my friends.
The line up was long at about 10am, I hear that there's always a line up?
Anyway, I got the Wonderbar which was delicious. I love how each coffee is made on the spot making so…More »
9. Moonbean Coffee
Toronto, ON M5T 1K6
Canada
(416) 595-0327
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
This review is loooong overdue. I first heard of Moonbeam a few years ago when an old coworker would make freshly brewed coffee in the afternoon making me regret and ashamed of my cafe bought coffee. While I don't remember the exact name of his…More »
10. Crafted by Te Aro
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z6
Canada
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods
My sister and I stopped by here on a walk through her neighbourhood. Actually, I made her stop here since I've been wanting to try this place out for awhile and had my Indie Coffee Passport on me. It's smaller than their Queen Street location but…More »
11. Red Rock Coffee Co
So I'm a fan of this place more so because there's ample seating (they have a 2nd floor), the lattes are pretty good and it's probably the best cafe on Castro (though there aren't too many of them).
They have a number of events that take place at the…More »
12. Aroma Espresso Bar
This place has plenty of seating so while I've never had an issue finding a seat, I suspect that I've been lucky as this place is steadily busy. This isn't your quiet cafe to study or read but more so a place to catch up with friends.
Service is…More »
13. Sam James Coffee Bar
Toronto, ON M6G 1G7
Canada
(647) 341-2572
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Palmerston, Bickford Park
*3.5 stars*
My latte was good - milk was velvety but thought it tasted a bit too milky so it overwhelmed the espresso. The rosetta leaf the barista made was probably the best I've seen here and in Vancouver. It's a shame when I have to cover it with…More »
14. Café Pamenar
Toronto, ON M5T 2M2
Canada
(647) 352-3627
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
*3.5 star review*
The space is great with plenty of seating. There's a long communal table in the front, a few four-seaters in the back along with another communal table. There's an patio in the back but the space isn't open...yet (waiting for the…More »
15. Cafe Myriade
I was happy to have found this indie cafe by my hotel during my short trip to Montreal. I dropped in at around a quarter to 12 and this place was really busy. All the seats inside were taken up which left only the patio that had possible just as…More »
16. Bisogno Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M5A 2P8
Canada
(416) 301-7633
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Corktown
Came here on a weekday morning a bit after 9 so it wasn't busy. There was plenty of seating to choose from including a large communal table. The furniture is pretty cute - think grandma with style. There's a book shelf for your to browse through as…More »
17. Cj's Cafe In Bronte
*2.5 star review*
This place is a cute neighbourhood spot with a large patio (too bad it was cold and rainy the day I went). I found it a bit odd that their sale sign and coffee beans blocks their view from customers coming into the cafe - you have…More »
18. Cumaica Coffee
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 931-2281
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Pacific Heights
Their lattes here are okay. It was a tiny bit bitter so it lacked that smoothness that I love about lattes. There's a lot of seating which is great to bring out the laptop or a chat with friends.
19. Caffè Art Java
I came here quickly to grab an iced latte to go. The place itself looks fantastic with its black & red decor and plenty of seating. They have a menu of food items and beans from JJ Beans (I miss Vancouver!) so I was looking forward to my drink.
…More »
20. Dana Street Roasting
This place has a slight diner/hipster feel to it.
They have a large menu composed of drinks & food items written on a white board with multi-coloured markers. It may take you awhile to take it all in.
Service was sufficient and too the point. There…More »
21. Little Nicky's Coffee
Toronto, ON M5V 2A5
Canada
(416) 260-0500
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Yay for Little Nicky's for giving me an alternative to the big coffee brands in this shopping area. Just south of the Gap on Queen & Peter, I feel like I'm momentarily taken away from the hustle & bustle of the Queen St. shoppers. It has a full on…More »
22. Cafe Novo
Toronto, ON M6P 3K9
Canada
(647) 350-3538
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: High Park
*3.5 stars*
Decided to finally check out High Park (long overdue!) so I met my friend here since I've heard great things about it.
This place has a great homey and cute feel to it with its light green walls, milk bottle vases & white painted tables…More »
23. Better Coffee Company and Tea Emporium
Yeah, yeah! Found another indie cafe that's in the 'burbs (besides Red Bulb in Stouffville)!
I've been meaning to check this cafe out for awhile after seeing it on one of Jennifer K.'s lists. I finally made my way here with my sister and came to…More »
24. Mylk Uncookies
I first found out about Mylk and its homemade almond mylk/milk via blogTO so finally made the trek to try it out (it's only 6months old).
Everything about this place is lovely! The white/light gray/turquoise simple decor and large front windows make…More »
25. Emile's Coffee & Tea
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 673-1081
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
*2.5 stars*
Granted this place is nice given that the area is a bit grungy so it gets points for that but I found that the cappuccino and the coffee on the burnt/bitter side. I was disappointed and didn't finish my cappuccino.
However, my cheese…More »
26. SFMOMA Rooftop Sculpture Garden
This place is perfect after strolling around the museum going through all the floors and their exhibits. The main room doesn't have much seating, only tables along the windows. I guess they're going for that open look and to have an unobstructed…More »
27. The Creamery
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 896-1446
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Creperies
Neighbourhood: SOMA
This is a a great place for a caffeine pick me up after a long (or short) Caltrain ride into SF. I've only ever come here for their lattes, which are great. Velvety milk, strong and smooth espresso - much better than any drink you can get at…More »
28. Jack's Stir Brew Coffee
New York, NY 10038
(212) 227-7631
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: South Street Seaport
Traveling to a new city I'm usually on the look out for indie cafes because I think that the quality is usually better than the chains and it's always great to support local shops.
Thanks to Yelp and Toronto CM Vivek's review I made my way to Jack's…More »
29. MauiGrown Coffee Co Store
I came by here on my way to the airport heading back home so I wasn't able to hang around here for as long as I wanted. They offer complimentary coffee tasting and form the limited conversation I had with the staff they were nice and seemed to be…More »
30. Blue Bottle Coffee Co
Love the space - large windows, seats along the window, bar and a communal table in the middle. There's a fresh and bright feel to this place.
Their latte was strong, velvety and yes, latte art just makes me happy. The baristas are the hipsters…More »
31. Cafe Venetia
This is a great cafe along University Avenue. It has a classy Italian atmosphere as opposed to a hipster cafe. The drink names are in Italian so I unfortunately forgot the name of the drink that I had BUT I do recall that it was on the chocolate…More »
32. Bean Street Coffee
There's a small neighbourhood vibe to this place that makes it welcoming. This place is long with the barista bar extending from the middle of the cafe to the back. There are a few seats in the front and a few stools lined up along the bar which is…More »
33. Neto Caffè and Bakery
Mountain View, CA 94041
(650) 625-9888
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Cafes,
Breakfast & Brunch
I came here for a late breakfast and opted for something sweet - the nutella crepe. I ordered off of the Pago app (which is pretty awesome) and the description described the crepe and didn't mention any other sides.
So I was surprised when my two…More »
34. Four Barrel Coffee
The lattes here are fantastic - strong and smooth.
The hipster vibe here oozes out of every corner and the service is a bit aloof.
There's plenty of seating inside the cafe and outside between the sidewalk and street which is a cool set up.
Note:…More »
35. Cafe Borrone
Menlo Park, CA 94025
(650) 327-0830
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Sandwiches
This is only based on a couple of their iced drinks. I had their Ghirardelli chocolate espresso blended drink which tasted really powdery as though the powder mix (I'm assuming they used that) didn't have the chance to melt. I didn't finish it. :(…More »
36. Clocktower Coffee Roasting Company
This place has a local neighbourhood atmosphere. I had their latte and it was okay. A bit on the bitter side and I prefer microfoam as oppose to the big bubbly foam like what you get at Starbucks. I used Pago so while 'contact' service was limited…More »
37. Contraband Coffee Bar
Their latte was smooth and the latte art was awesome. The baristas here are friendly even to those who I would even dub as annoying. That is, the person who asks for 'just a bit more coffee' in their cup because they added too much sugar…More »
38. The Warming Hut
San Francisco, CA 94129
(415) 561-3040
Categories:
Flowers & Gifts,
Coffee & Tea,
Bookstores
This place is a great spot to take a break from walking around Crissy Fields, Fort Point and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a cafe and gift shop in one so you can roam around in the warmth or simply sit back and enjoy a hot drink. There's not a lot…More »
39. Clocktower Coffee Roasting Co
*3.5 stars*
I prefer this location than the one on Middlefield. It's much quieter so you're almost guaranteed a table and there are actual working outlets to plug in your laptop if needed.
I've come here a couple of times and had their green tea…More »

I stumbled on this place while walking along Fillmore looking for a cafe to where I can sit and catch up on some reading.
This place is really nice inside with its classy black, silver and white decor (from its wallpaper, huge mirror that's behind…More »
