Category:
Coffee & Tea

Who knew The Junction would be so bustling on a Tuesday afternoon?
Crema Coffee was absolutely crammed with locals for the several hours that I spent working using their strong and reliable wi-fi. Lots of people having business meetings, reading…More »
2. Zoots Cafe
Toronto, ON M6J
Canada

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Sandwiches
Neighborhoods: Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
I think Zoots may be my new favourite place to hang out and get some work done.
First of all, the decor is stunning. It's got that old timey, stonehouse feel with just the right about of charming knick knacks to make you feel like you might be in…More »
3. Gladstone Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J6
Canada
(416) 531-4635
The Gladstone Hotel is divided into three funhouses - one is the hotel itself, which few Toronto natives will really know about, another is the ballroom café to the left of the lobby, which serves brunch, lunch and dinner and then hosts DJ nights,…More »

Canada

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Neighborhood: Roncesvalles
Had to post this quick update to share three new discoveries at Tinto today:
1. HOT Beck lookalikes. I sat across from one. I hummed Mixed Bizness to myself as I surreptitiously stared.
2. Dark chocolate brownies with a hint of coffee flavour. Yum-o!

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: Leslieville
NOW OPEN TILL 8PM EVERY DAY.
Holy shit, this makes me unreasonably happy. No longer shall I wander the city desperately searching for a non-chain cappuccino shop that's open past 6pm (harder to find than you'd think). I'm thrilled.

Canada
(416) 465-8085
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighborhood: Leslieville
Still a solid place to get work done and the only place in the area that's open till 11pm. Armchairs are cozy and the wi-fi is reliable, even when every single person in the cafe has a laptop in tow.
The shitty, sticky front door has been replaced (I…More »

7. Red Rocket Coffee
Toronto, ON M4J 1M9
Canada
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: The Danforth
OK, clearly Red Rocket heard my pleas for better music because today it's been a rotation of Daft Punk's Alive 2007, Simian and Ratatat. It can't get more kickass than that.
Also, I just housed the best date square I've ever had in my life. It was…More »

8. Remarkable Bean
Toronto, ON M4E 1G2
Canada
(416) 690-2420
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: The Beach
People mis- and overuse a lot of adjectives - among them, amazing, incredible, and remarkable. The actual definition of remarkable is: "unusual or striking; "noteworthy or worthy of notice". Remarkable Bean, while a decent shop that makes a quality…More »
9. The Common
Toronto, ON M6H
Canada
(416) 546-7789
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: Dufferin Grove
I adored it here, but I have no idea how these cats stay in business. $2, tax in, for a cup of Silk Road tea (http://www.silkroadtea...)? Great brand and I really enjoyed the enlightening "Philosopher's Brew" of lemongrass, citrus peel, rosehip and…More »
10. Cafe Florentin - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4L 1J3
Canada
(647) 341-2936
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: The Beach
The hours are dynamite (7am-10pm daily - I can't think of a single Toronto cafe, not even Starbucks, that is open that consistently) and the baked goods are smashing (I tried a mini lemon tart and linzer cookie - $0.55 each). The chairs are crazy…More »

Coffee & Tea

This was shaping up to be a solid 4 star review until the following events took place:
With only 4% of battery power remaining on my MacBook Pro and still many minutes away from submitting an assignment, I started to have a bit of a panic shit. There…More »

10 Things I Love About Pie Shack!
1) The hours are phenomenal. 11am-11pm every day - this alone ranks it high on my favourite places list, as you all know how I feel about cafes that close early.
2) Free, reliable wi-fi. Stay as long as you like - no…More »
13. Sideshow Café
In a sea of traffic ticket rebuttal shops along Gerrard Street, Sideshow Café goes practically unnoticed.
It's tiny (10 seats), it's attached to the circus school that you didn't even realize existed, and it's an awesome place to get work done,…More »
14. Dark Horse Espresso
Toronto, ON M4M 1G9
Canada
(647) 436-3460
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: Riverdale
Don't come here on a low self-esteem day, cause you'll leave feeling ugly. All of the baristas (male and female) are gorgeous in addition to being friendly and able to make a stellar cappuccino ($2.25).
They sell Tea In The Sahara looseleaf tea here…More »

See all the green to the left of the marker on that there Google map? Yeah. It's a park. And you have full view of its gorgeosity directly from Rooster Coffee House's sweet front patio. As I took photos and absorbed everything I loved about this…More »
16. The Green Grind
Toronto, ON M6G 1A9
Canada
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
The only thing not to love about The Green Grind is the fact that it's not in my backyard.
Lovely staff, gorgeous interior (bike wheels on the walls, huge pot lamps, beautiful countertop) and free wi-fi. I needn't repeat what others have said about…More »
17. Merchants of Green Coffee
This is a lovely and massive loft space hidden just north of Queen & Broadview. Come here to get work done in peace, away from the crowds logjamming Dark Horse East. The hardwood floors are gorgeous and there are plenty of places to sit - sofas,…More »

Canada
(416) 461-2668
Category:
Coffee & Tea

So apparently Danforth is in a state of emergency. No cafes with free wi-fi anywhere. Si Espresso and Broadview Espresso were disappointing on many levels, not just with their lack of wi-fi. I walked for blocks and blocks and came up short - there…More »
20. Te Aro
Toronto, ON M4M 1K2
Canada
(416) 465-2006
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: Leslieville
Te Aro owners Jesse & Andy are lovely people - both impossibly gorgeous, friendly in a small-town-neighbourhood kinda way and they've created a lovely space out of a former autoshop. Te Aro in the summertime is especially wonderful thanks to the…More »
21. Jimmy's Coffee
I've very much warmed up to Jimmy's Coffee and it's become one of my favourites. Yes it's true, I was not a fan of the hot chocolate on my first visit, but as of my fifth, sixth, seventh visit and beyond, I've been loving their cappuccinos (the…More »
22. T-Shirt Guys Plan B - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4M 2P2
Canada
