My husband and I came here early one day after work for some drinks and snacks. The staff were excellent, and friendly. They have a nice selection of champagne by the glass and currently had an excellent deal on a happy hour tipple. Definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

I booked here after seeing reviews with pictures of beautiful cocktails, but I did not see many cocktails in the menu when we were here. But after visiting here and went home, I learned that they have another speakeasy space in the back with bunch of cocktail menus. I should have asked for a table in that space. I was here with my girl friend who loves oyster and cocktails. But that was OK, it was a hot day, we craved for beer anyways. They had 3 kinds of draft beer, incl. Asahi, IPA and Guinness. We ordered (food): #1. Naked Oysters (6 pieces $28) #2. DIRTY MARTINI Oyesters (6 pieces $29) #3. BEEF CARPACCIO($17) #4. FRITES Our main purpose here was oysters. I liked #1 but did not like #2. oyster (in a shell) is drenched in martini with chopped Castelvetrano olives & some fish roes on top. Although I am a big fun of Castelvetrano olives, I did not feel its nuttiness and crisp texture, and fish roes are tasteless. Resulting in bland flavour. #3 was disappointing. Beef slices were super paper thin, sticking onto the plate. The main flavour that I felt from the dishes were from its toppings like Truffle Aioli (Truffle not detectable), Arugula, Piave (cheese), Chimichurri, some caper flavor. Fresh truffle was supposed to be in this dish but I did not feel that. I questioned what I was eating when eating this. #4 was ok. When it came to the table, I was excited about its presentation. Crispy fries were absolutely well done and tasty. But after eating top several pieces, I realised that underneath these beautiful fried sticks were tons of debris. The dip (Black Garlic Aioli) was not impressive. What I appreciated this place this time about - was the table. We were seated outside in patio - the tables were well spaced, perfect for girls catching up. read more

I've been curious about Coffee Oysters Champagne for quite a while, because how could I not be with a name like that? A recent evening in the area after a long day of TIFFing seemed like the ideal opportunity to check the joint out. We were offered the chance to check out the hidden part of the restaurant but we chickened out and decided to just stick with the main area. I'm glad we did because it's a really nice little place with a cool, welcoming vibe. We knew wanted to get oysters and champagne because obviously so the Shuck Me, I'm Fabulous ("Glass of Louis Roederer Champagne, a Half Dozen Naked Oysters, Frites & Caesar Salad") seemed like the perfect option. (We also ordered another glass of the same champagne because we weren't going to share one glass like a couple of psychos.) The first thing to arrive was the salad and it was surprisingly decent. Very flavorful and not excessively creamy or dressed. It also had a nice hit of citrus that brightened it up considerably. I'd say it was probably one of the better Caesar Salads I've had recently. The oysters were terrific, too. They were prepared perfectly and were accompanied by a bunch of components that enhanced them considerably. And the fries were great, as well. They were super crispy and accompanied by a delicious curry-based aioli. Really good and satisfying. And the champagne hit the spot, of course. Yeah, Coffee Oysters Champagne is a really cool spot. We'll definitely have to check out that private room next time. read more

$5 espresso martinis at the bar? Sign me up! With various flavors to choose from, we thoroughly enjoyed kicking off our evening before being magically transported into the speakeasy. In the back, there's a whole other world. The long drinks menu and mystic vibe made for a fun experience. While the drinks in the champagne room are on the pricier side, they're also delicious. Be sure to make a reservation and enjoy your night out in Toronto. read more

Coffee Oysters Champagne - Raspberry Espresso Martini - Champagne Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We came with a group of 7 people. I did not see much on the online menu for me, being vegan and gluten free, and I thought I would leave hungry. I was pleasantly surprised when our server mentioned there were a few items suitable for me.....salad, broccolini and fries. It wasn't a lot but it was tasty and I did not leave hungry. The others had oysters, steak, chicken, shrimp, squash, etc and all enjoyed their food but everyone agreed it was very pricey. They also charged us for one extra item that eventually got sorted out. The venue is cute and decor is nice but no photos allowed except at the "horse". The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Location is great for a pre theatre meal at POW or Royal Alex theatre. Apparently it becomes a speakeasy later at night. read more

What a cool fun place this turned out to and they do champagne tours !!! Very pink place ! Huge range of champagne obviously by the glass or the bottle. Nice little cocktail menu as well. And some great small plates. We thoroughly enjoyed our bar visit here. Fun music and great vibe. We had a glass of bubbly rose and I had a espresso martini made perfectly sans espresso means to decorate !!!! So I asked for them as they are an espresso bar too and should have beans !!! Service was ok nothing great considering how many people were worked here. The tuna tartare was fantastic. One of the best I've had. Also super pretty to look at! They have a fun little outside area and plenty of space inside too. I loved the bar seating. I also had a bubbly rose after the martini . Nice crisp and light . This is a great place to put in your bar hopping list in Toronto. Just know champagne costs a lot more than Prosecco !!! read more

Feeling like a 21st century Marie Antoinette? This is the spot for you. Extensive collection of champagne, oyster specials, marble tables, white upholstery. COC is made for the Instagram generation with a discerning taste in bubbly. The staff are friendly and attentive. Their cocktails lean towards the more refreshing side - think spritzes and sodas - this is not the place for a complex take on an old fashioned. It is also a fairly cramped space and not really a comfortable place to hang out for more than one or two drinks. The champagne room is worth a tour though... read more

Coffee Oysters Champagne - Champagne Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We had a good time here, went on the "tour" which was cute and the interior was nice, couldn't take any pics so you'll just have to go to see for yourself. The drinks are a little pricey and they have some rules about if you're allowed to sit or not (that people didn't seem to be following and it didn't look like there were any consequences to it... we just got a drink each so we stood anyways). And then you leave literally through the kitchen which was funny. Good times! read more

Very cool speakeasy experience! I can't wait to take my other friends here as well. The place is super unique and well decorated. I had the grilled shrimp and charred broccolini - both dishes were really good but portions are small. The grilled shrimp was $22 and had 5 shrimps with no sides. The charred broccolini was $12. They have a great list of cocktail options as well. I tried one of their zero proof drinks and it was great! read more

Coffee Oysters Champagne - Grilled shrimp, crispy chicken, charred broccolini - Champagne Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A vibe LOL. Fan of the interior design of the "secret" part. We got finger food and it was decent. A bit pricey. We of course got oysters which were very good. Huge variety if champagne. Seating is cozy. It did get busy later in the night for sure. Service was great! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but we waited an entire hour before a server even acknowledged us. We ended up getting our own drinks at the bar, and it wasn't until the manager stepped in that we got any real service. The vibe was not worth the wait. read more

My friends and I walked in not knowing what to expect, said "no" when they asked about the champagne tour, and stood at a cramped counter sipping their cheapest sparkling wine for about half an hour (a perfectly pleasant experience, with a bright interior and kind staff) before we realized what the champagne tour was! So we actually got to experience this bar organically, which really added to the experience. The "tour" itself had a great ambiance, quirky and aesthetic decor, and well-executed drinks - I'd say it reaches the level where it's worth bringing visitors to Toronto here. (The one complaint: my friend went a different time and found the music too loud and poorly selected.) read more

This is such a fun place to visit and full of secrets. Love the ambiance and the vibes. Only went here for drinks and I had an espresso while the rest of my party had drinks. Their dark chocolate espresso martinis were the best I've tried. Our bill was over $100 for 5 drinks though, so be warned this place is quite pricey. read more

Such a gorgeous spot! We stopped in here around 9 pm on a Friday and we're able to find a seat right away. There was a big cocktail and champagne menu. We were interested in the espresso martinis and the waitress was super helpful as we decided on which to get. For the record, the Dark Chocolate, Catch Me If You Can (gingerbread flavored), and Classic were all delicious. We were wanting to come here because of the cute pics online and stayed for the great drinks, service, and ambiance. It started to get busy around 10, would plan on reservations for getting there early to avoid lines! read more

Coffee Oysters Champagne - Cute atmosphere! - Champagne Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Catrina was amazing!!! This place is live, great food, and amazing music. Wonderful hidden gem of Toronto. We visited from chicago and this place was the favorite part of our trip. Ask for the champagne tour. If you go to the bar, Yusra and Alex are the bartenders you need to get at. They're amazing!!! Best drinks I Toronto!!!! read more

At first this spot seemed great until the female staff ruined it. There was a waitress in a blue shirt that yelled at me for putting my drink on the metal bar rack. Then leaving another female that worked the hostess stand yelled at us for leaving out the wrong door. When we said we didn't know she said " well now you do". Unwelcoming atmosphere for women. Women should support women not try to intimidate them. read more

I've been going here every week for the past month...at this point I should probably get a frequent flyer card! It's my go to spot for taking out of town visitors / work friends for a different sort of experience, with a speakeasy reminiscent of the prohibition era and plenty of unique and delicious cocktails. It's definitely on the pricey side, but I'd say it's pretty worth it given the top notch quality. Even the food is excellent - looking forward to going back more often! Only thing is the champagne room can be a bit of a wait sometimes, especially on weekends - anywhere from an hour to being totally full. read more

This place was a cool speakeasy style place with lots of surprises. I didn't have the coffee, the oysters, or the champagne - but I did have drinks. I'm into the vibe of this place. I'd go back and bring friends from out of town. The drinks are expensive. As you expect when you walk in. They have some interesting house special drinks that are worth trying. Other bar drinks were a disappointment. My friend ordered an old fashioned and they poured some whisky in a glass with a piece of straight orange peel. Service was slow. My rating might be inflated by the number of drinks that I had before arriving here. read more

It is an interesting spot in the Toronto area. It is well known for a "surprise" location in the back. Where do you need a secret password. You will need to ask the staff to go on a "champagne tour". The rest is a surprise. The food is quite tasty. We had some prawns and they were the largest shrimp I have ever had, and were very juicy and delicious. The roasted broccolini was a delicious crunchy bite but could probably be made at home with an air fryer. The drinks are all interesting with a large selection on the menu. The staff will surely help you with selecting the best drink for you and they are super friendly. The spot is a dark lit and intimate setting with a fun photo opportunity in the bathroom read more

I loved my experience at A Toi aka the hidden speakeasy and restaurant inside Coffee Oysters Champagne! Made a dinner reservation online, and we were led to the "Champagne Room" when we arrived. You have to find the right bottle to "open" the door to the secret passage way where you will "travel in time" to 1920s Paris! ** Note: I think if you plan to walk in, you have to discreetly ask to see the "Champagne Room"? I read it in other reviews. I guess you gotta keep it down low or else you will be denied entry lol. ** ** And NO PHOTOS ALLOWED except in the bathroom lol ** ** It is also pretty busy inside, make sure you make a reservation online ** The hostess at the A Toi 'hotel reception' was fun and playful, I absolutely loved her character! The 'bell boy' then led us to our table :) Our waitress knows us by names, and made sure everything was running smoothly. There is an actor (or actors I'm not sure) roaming around the place too, see if you can identify and talk to them... could end up very magical lol ;) As for dinner, I didn't enjoy my main as much. I did enjoy the Crab & Caviar appetizer, tho I wish the house crackers would be less hard on the teeth and perhaps thinner. But overall, a very appetizing dish. My friend and I shared the Swiss Chard Ravioli and the Two Duck (seared duck breast and confit leg). The duck was not bad, but the ravioli pasta skin was undercooked and I'm not feeling the flavours. Waitress took it back and we ordered the 7oz Burger with ground chuck/brisket, caramelized onion, and came with side of fries, which was alright. Despite the miss on the food, I still had a great time because it was such a fun atmosphere. Next time, I hope to come back just for drinks :) read more

Omg! Where do I begin! This bar has such an incredible atmosphere but you have to know where to sit. In the front of the bar it looks like a casual restaurant. Now, if you know the secret, ask to sit in the secret back room, you are in for a treat. They will go and see if there is availability and if there is they will lead you into a room where they store all of their Champaign. The hostess will then tell you there are no photos allowed beyond this point. They pull a bottle and you will be transported into a speak easy will men dressed as bell hops and female employees in chic black outfits with fancy accessories. The ambiance The ambiance in the back is amazing. My friend and I loved the vibe and couldn't get enough of it. The Food: Such a disappointment. The waiter told me the steak was the best steak he has ever had. I tried it and found it lacked flavour. It tasted a bit bland and was only available with fries. I honestly wish I could have swapped the fries for a nice salad. My friend ordered the ravioli and she said it tasted okay but she would not order it again. Her dish arrived with three raviolis on her plate. All of the employees recommended the fish so I'm wondering if it is any better. The Experience Honestly, at this restaurant you are paying for the experience and vibe. The experience and vibe is really trendy and hip. This is the it-spot to hang out on King street. Would I go back? Absolutely but just for the incredible drinks. The Drinks: The drinks are phenomenal. There are so many choices and they all taste exquisite. I definitely recommend you come here for drinks. Arrive early to ensure you get a seat at the bar or else you might be disappointed. read more

Walking on King, the beautiful interior caught my friend's eye and so we went down the steps to check out this newly opened space. Coffee in the morning and throughout the day. Oysters and champagne at lunch time and onwards... what an interesting concept! We were told they have the second largest champagne selection in Canada? Or was it North America? Impressive nonetheless. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path, a place that will surely be a noteworthy surprise, I highly recommend a visit. Ask about dinner and/or cocktails. Be prepared to stay longer than anticipated. You will not be disappointed. read more

Yes Yes Yes! Huge shout out to my boy Anil for showing me this place. Everything here just describes who I am as a person. Coming here I knew I had to go all out so I ordered a half dozen set of oysters with sweet chili and a glass of brut from Spain. I did right! Our bartender was so nice to us; he even showed us their in house seating lounge area with a bar. It's almost like a speakeasy but in a way it's not. When coming here, ask for their champagne tour and you'll be escorted to into this dark and lively bar that's decorated vintage Victorian style. This place is a must go to when visiting Toronto and is definitely one of the best places to have champagne and oysters in! Loved every single moment. read more

Coffee Oysters Champagne - Champagne Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Unfortunately I would not recommend this bar/restaurant to anyone due to the horrible service I received last night. The service was so terribly condescending to the point I felt compelled to write this review in order to inform people who might be tempted to try it like we did. My friends came to Toronto last night for Nuit Blanche. As it was still pretty early after we had dinner, we decided to go on a bar hop to warm up for the event. We decided to give this restaurant a go and luckily there happened to be a vacancy for us. Little did I know it was going to be the absolute most uncomfortable experience in my life in any restaurant. Their menu was a little confusing as we could not see the oysters so we asked your host to point out where the oysters were. To our surprise that seemed to be a difficult question as she told us she was not sure either. She took the menu and went to her colleagues to find out - a minute later she returned and told us the oysters were actually listed on the first page and the first 4 options listed were all oysters. OK. I understand she might not know the menu that well but when the first 4 choices are indeed the food item in the name of the restaurant, I found it surprising that my question was difficult. After looking at their menu for a minute we would like to order, and we were greeted by a waitress or a manager. We ordered some oysters but were not quite sure what to order for drinks so we asked this person who recommended Veuve Clicquot as she claimed it was the most popular choice. We then asked about the price and she replied that she was not sure as their customers would not "typically ask for the price". Those were exactly the words of the manager. Strike 1. Sorry we didn't fit your customer profile. As she was searching for the price painstakingly throughout their drink menu, she started asking us more questions. She asked us what the occasion was, and to that we replied we were just on a bar hop. She seemed rather annoyed by our answer, commenting "oysters and Champaign for a bar hop, OK", raising her eyebrow and emphasizing the OK at the end. Strike 2. After perhaps the longest minute in my life, she finally found the price of Veuve Clicquot in the menu and confirmed it was $180 (and she went the extra mile to let us know it was only the price of the non vintage one). We were not comfortable with it and she replied: "so what IS your budget then?" Strike 3. Thanks for asking; we can afford to spend $200 on a bottle of Champaign anywhere, else. We did not care to answer that question last night. We simply wanted to pay for the sparkling water and leave, after the 15 most uncomfortable minutes of my life. The Manager did waive the bill on the sparkling water (the food order had not been placed) - the very least anyone could do in any situation like that. That, my friend, were the highlights of my experience. Thanks for going the extra mile to point out what your customer profile is supposed to be. It was really insightful. Everything I said in this review is true and I am willing to be responsible for this review. read more

Another late review - came here in November for a birthday. Definitely make reservations so you can get into the back speakeasy room - you won't be disappointed! When you originally walk in...it doesn't seem like anything fancy...but then...you are led to the back...into a secret chamber..to solve a riddle before the magical doors open up...and when they do..it's like night and day and you've stepped into a whole new world (cue the music). Dark and moody and elegant and hip...it combines all those things to make a great evening (they discourage photos here to keep the secret alive...however closer the bathrooms they have a cute place to take photos - definitely IG approved). If you want to impress someone...or yourself...make sure to get a reservation to the speakeasy - it's an experience you won't forget. We just had drinks here but it's definitely a must visit and I definitely want to go back to try their oysters read more

Such an amazing place. If in Toronto, this is a MUST! Friendly staff, amazing drinks and some of the best oysters I've ever had in Toronto!

You won't be disappoint at all! This place is sexy and food is delicious. When you get in to the place it looks like a cute and fancy bar where there is actually an oyster bar and every bottle of Champagne you can imagine. THE PLACE There is actually a speakeasy/restaurant. If you decide to go to the restaurante, they actually take you to the cellar room where they explain you all about all the bottles if champagne they have. In that room is where the magic happens, they will open a secret door that takes you to a tunnel and appears in a lobby area that looks more like the check in area of a hotel. Right away you'll be able to see the beautiful space they have created for the restaurant. I'd describe it like a fancy yet intimate place. Pictures are not allowed in the area yet I was able to capture some pictures of my food. THE FOOD I had to order the oysters of course. They were tasty, salty and a good size. It comes with their own housemade hot sauce and they don't have tabasco sauce in case you were thinking to ask for it. I ordered a couple of dishes more that I wasn't able to get a pic but all of them were really good like the grilled sparragus and shrimp. I ordered the house burger. One of the best burgers I've tried in Toronto. Great brioche buns: buttery, eggy and delicious! It was perfectly browned/tanned on the outside The patty was cooked perfectly: medium rare and very juicy. Fries were crispy outside and soft and hot inside with some type of paprika spice, delicious!!! It came along with special gravy and the housemade hot sauce THE DRINKS They have great bar tenders that will be able to make any type of fancy and exotic drink for you. Great mixology team. Of course you can order any type of champagne and prosseco. I would recommend this place for casual drinks or dinner. Great place with great environment, drinks and food. What else can you ask for? read more

I made a reservation on September 3rd to celebrate my wedding anniversary, approximately six weeks before the intended date. Out of the blue, I received a text yesterday that my reservation had been canceled because they're now closed for a private event. The offer was to reschedule significantly later that evening or a different day. I received a phone call within minutes of the text asking if I'd decided yet. The caller's demeanor could be described as brusque. We opted to cancel as none of the options fit into our travel plans. It's very disappointing to have the "reservation" unceremoniously canceled, but perhaps that's their purview when there's more money to be made. Just a warning to future guests - don't make any big plans for this venue. It might not work out as you hope. read more

Went last night (because COC came highly recommended) for my friends birthday and was extremely disappointed. So many missed opportunities to match the service to the beautiful space...which is the ONLY reason this place gets 2 stars. The good: 1) our server. She was very upbeat and cheerful, with great energy. 2) the space. It's quite sexy, especially in the back. The speakeasy concept is cool. The terrible: OMG most of the staff and how they treat customers. From the front door "hosts" who talk to you like a toddler, to the person who jumped out of nowhere to tell me I was not allowed to take a picture (he actually came to the table to scold me. Lol) As a smoker, I walked outside to have a cigarette and was chastised (once again) for using the wrong door (ie: the door I came in from, marked with a green "exit" sign). So many "rules" you're expected to just KNOW. Food was mediocre. Not terrible, but nothing to write about. Bottom line: If you are into places where the staff is akin to those at Chuck-E-Cheese, then check this place out. If you are a grown adult who wants a night out at a place where your business is valued....you're better off skipping this one. (For reference: for the 3 of us, our bill came to $440...food and drink combined) read more

Can't recommend this place enough. A great experience to go with your friends and on dates. I'd recommend taking the champagne tour! The oysters were fresh and the service and hospitality were even better. One of the best bars that I've been to in Toronto! read more

Although I am an avid yelp user, my friend and I came here without realizing that it was a speakeasy. Whoops!!! We sat at the bar and had wine. I also tried their matcha latte. As we are about to leave, the greeter asks us if we wanted to see a different room. As my friend was from out of town, we were interested, but the greeter mentioned if we went there we would have to order drinks. Apparently we weren't allowed to go without ordering anything there (ie you can't just go in, check it out, and leave), despite the fact that we ALREADY ordered a few drinks at the bar! My friend was pretty annoyed at this and we ended up leaving. Maybe next time I'll head straight for the back room instead of sitting at the bar... read more

Woot. Brand new place and I think it's gonna be a hit. Small in the front but it's better than that ;-) Huge open view fridge with selection of champagnes and various alcoholic options to go with the multitude of oyster selections! Too much to decipher by oneself so you're guaranteed to need some help - which I think they are trying to get better at - had to get various folks to explain about the champagnes and oysters. Great staff and great new vibe. I think once the community gets to know all the inner workings of this restaurant, it'll be a great surprise. read more

Came here twice. The food is normally amazing and the service is even better. I tried their special dairy cow steak (so tender!!) and burger. My SO ordered the duck. Like i said, the food is amazing. I also recommend their caesar drink (comes with an oyster!). The only reason why they are getting 4 stars is because the last time we went the oyster did not seem fresh.. in the picture one of them looked off. This resulted in my SO not feeling well afterwards. Oh and dont forget to ask to see the "champagne room". You will not be sorry. read more

Amazing atmosphere and a large selection of champagne, cocktails and wine. Definitely come here on a weekend night, it's nothing like the other bars in the city. Very very classy and the decor is beautiful! Excellent service as well. Starting from the hostess to the servers, everything about it was great. Although they are significantly understaffed, they did a great job to host and maintain a positive attitude. Ideal to get a reservation on a weekend for the speakeasy at the back but the wait time isn't too long either. read more

Got ignored for no reason. Tldr: awesome place horrible bartenders. Place came strongly recommended and getting in was an honestly amazingly fun experience. The venue is gorgeous and has an atmosphere that's virtually unique. They have really interesting drink names that are an homage to famous places (I wanted the Attaboy so bad ). It wasn't a very busy night and I was offered a spot at the bar. I sat for 15 minutes, mostly just browsing on my phone, before I was noticed and able to get the attention by one of the 8 bartenders in a bar with 11 guests (I was so bored I counted). When they finally took my order, they just forgot about me I think? The bartender who took my order proceeded to go hang out, dance and literally take shots over 10 minutes before I figured I wasn't getting my drink. I ended up leaving after 20+ minutes. This is something I might expect at a dive but not at a place if this calibre. I've never been before, am a pretty neutral person and was totally sober so I can't imagine a reason I was ignored other than sheer incompetence. I plan on coming back to update my review if and when I visit Toronto again. read more
