This place is in a crazy location, in the underground walkway between Yonge and Bay. They serve a great selection of teas to go, to stay or to take with you to make later.

It's a pretty bustling business, but surprisingly calm. There are a few seats…More »

Aroma is known for serving great espresso and coffee, but for those non-caffeine drinkers, I'm pleased to announce it also has a fantastic array of herbal teas, especially their mint tea, which is real mint leaves sprinkled and then steeped in hot…More »

They have tea! I was so happy to hear this, as I don't drink the java-junk but wanted to support this great place doing great things (promoting sustainability, non-profit and such). Plus I really wanted to sit and watch people outside of Honest Ed's.…More »

Owners Paul and Arlene swear they just work at Reba's Cafe. The real boss is their dog (Reba, of course) who's ready to greet customers at the door.

A dog owner is suitable really because this little cafe has a lazy dog sort of attitude that's easy…More »

This place is everything you want (and expect) in a coffee/tea cafe. They have a fair selection of coffee, an AWESOME selection of tea as well as many clean tables to sit at, comfy chairs to sit in, or areas to stand and wait (if you're the impatient…More »

This is a great place to buy some high quality tea and coffee. I especially like the staff here, they're very friendly and they seem to know their stuff.

But keep in mind, this is not a tea and coffee "cafe", there's no where for you to sit and enjoy…More »

I love tea, so I was happy to see an independently owned tea place go into this spot in the Annex rather than another Starbucks.

It's a great clean space, with lots of tables to sit at and lots and lots and LOTS of tea to choose from.

The only…More »

Ladies with big strollers? This is your place to get coffee. There's loads of room for you to back that buggy right on up to the counter.

As for loafing? Not so much. The room is rimmed with chairs, but they're backless, and therefore incapable of…More »
