I am in love with this place.
This is a LOCAL coffee shop with LOCAL vibe and genuine awesome cafe americano. The ambience, the staff and the patrons all mix together. The table is "communal" which adds to its charm.

A savior after a day in the gallery.
Away from the general crowd but still within the gallery, the Norman Ridley lounge offers a good place to relax after a busy gallery visit. They have made some enhancements aesthetic and service wise. Servers are…More »

I am a fan!
Not only that this coffee shop is local, they also have one of the best Cafe Americano. Top that with Tres Amigo crepe - a combination of strawberry, mozzarella cheese and hot fudge. And Dark Angel - an explosion of chocolate. The result?…More »

No frills, feel good place. The tables are sticky sometimes. Music can be loud. But crowd and servers are great. I go to this place to relax and eat, not dine, eat.
Coffe refill is $1. Dessert is just plain awesome. Did I say awesome?

I would give 5 five stars if not for the loud music. It's just loud.
This is one of my favorite coffee places. Despite of the free wi fi, it does not feel and look like a library unlike what Starbucks have become. I'm a Starbucks cult member so I can…More »

Before Starbucks started offering wi fi access to customers, Urbana Coffee was already doing it. This location at Bay and St. Joseph is a perfect coffee noise get away. It's far enough from the crowded coffee places on Yonge and Church and yet you're…More »
I was here last night and I've always been impressed. This is a better version of Starbucks with more neighbourhood feel (they hire the locals, oy!). The servers are friendlier and the coffee is at par with Starbucks.
Lately, my Starbucks taste bud…More »

I come here mainly for dessert. The place can be too noisy to have a conversation. I came here with a group of friends once and my throat was so sore from shouting.
Food-wise it's like any other bar-type food. But whenever I come here, I zero in on…More »

There are times when you just don't want to talk to anyone or see anyone you work with (or sometimes even your loved ones). We all go through that right? When two people talking loudly seem loud enough to be irritating. Take refuge from Country Style…More »

I don't know how to describe this place... ah... limbo. It's in between good and bad. The patrons range from the homeless to Bay street trader. Mostly live in the neighbourhood. Occasionally, some noise-resilient students come to hoard chairs...er...…More »

I'm a Starbucks fanatic but this location is substandard. It isn't as clean and neat as other Starbucks. Note, it's not dirty... just not as clean as others.
It's very small so it can be noisy. The sound of the blender cuts through your brain that…More »
Starbucks HQ should visit this location. Sooo incompetent. The baristas (you don't call them staff hmpf) were chatting to each other despite of the long line. And when called, they seemed unhappy to serve you.

I came to this store today to buy 5 coffees and requested that the reward card be swiped 5 times. I was told, impolitely, that this is unfair to others as there is a line up. And that I should line up again - multiple times.
I've been a Starbucks…More »
