Best espresso ever in Toronto from a franchised establishment. Mon connaisseur d'espresso did not fail me and was right. Fresh, hot,  rich, bold, smooth with earthy tones... everything anyone could want in an espresso could be found in a Dark Horse…More »

All hail me, the first duchess of this Trees Organic!

I love this coffeeshop! It is small, cozy, clean, and great for small group gatherings or solo sipping. It has great coffee -you know coffee is good when you can still drink it when it has gone…More »

I LOVE the coffee and the decor of this place.  This coffeeshop has a very mod yet retro theme going on, it's very fresh and smart.  It's also located right near St. James Park, but far way from it so you won't hear the football chants, but it sits…More »

Right at the corner of Yonge and King, Petite Thuet is barely noticeable amongst their big coffee chains neighbours, like Starbucks, Tim Hortons and Second Cup.  However, if you're on the hunt for non-franchised, non-cookie-cutter, rich and legit cup…More »

My former UofT boss and I had coffee and desserts here one beautiful and hot September afternoon.  It's been forever since I came here after graduating UofT, but it was one of my favourite places to have coffee and breakfast before work.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai pris un café ici avec une amie qui va partir Newcastle bientôt.  Nous sommes arrivées avant midi, donc, il n'y avait pas beaucoup de clients et il y avait beaucoup de tables pour nous. L'atmosphère du Café était tranquille et…More »

I had some time to kill in Terminal 5 before my domestic connecting flight and was looking for something healthy to eat that wasn't too expensive or too much. I was so happy when I found Pret A Manger because it satisfied my tiny hunger and didn't…More »

OKAY, I will no longer complain about there being a lack of coffee cafe culture in Toronto now that I've found ZAZA this evening on a random solo walk in Yorkville this evening.

ZAZA is a brand new (three weeks old) espresso bar right in the heart of…More »

For better espresso and coffee than your typical Second Cup and Starbucks, try Aroma. Not too far from Scotia Plaza and First Canadian Place, it's nested right at the entrance to the Standard Life building at concourse level -it's SO worth the walk.

OKAY, being the only "official" vegan friendly restaurant in the city centre, Scrumpy Willow also prizes itself of being the one with the worst service.  Honestly? They have ONE person working the cash register and the tables upstairs and downstairs.…More »

While trying to kill time before an audition, I found myself at the Green Beanery on Bloor Street.  I'd heard about this place from a friend who works as a graphic artist for this company, so I'm glad I finally got to check it out.

I love Starbucks, but when I'm in Vancouver, I refuse to drink it. Instead, I go for their direct competitor: BLENZ! (WHY do we NOT have a store in Toronto??? This bugs me, alot.)

On the streets of downtown Vancouver, you'll see at practically every…More »

The Annex is no stranger to coffee shops and cafes as this Aroma location is surrounded by competitors: across the road from it is Second Cup, right next to it on the same side of the street is Starbucks and down the road is the Green Beanry. While…More »
