I had to frantically find a coffee shop in the area and came across this spot on Yonge and…read moreWellesley that used to be a Starbucks. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting it was quiet enough to take a meeting, yet spacious enough to spread out your work along the counter. Plus, they have Wi-Fi, which is a huge bonus since so many Toronto coffee shops don't anymore. The service was quick, and the coffee was strong and flavorful. I wasn't sure what to order, so the barista kindly made a recommendation pretty sure it was a maple iced latte and it was delicious! I was chatting too much to confirm what exactly it was, but whatever it was, I'd definitely get it again. Overall, this place is a must-visit. Great vibes, great coffee, and they're generous with the drink (light on the ice without even asking!). 5/5 highly recommend!

I was looking for a coffee shop in the area that looked more local than the chains that were…read moreavailable. I had never heard of this place so swung by bright and early in the morning. It was pretty empty at the time but it was also -15 out at 8am. The place is bright and spacious with seating available. I could see people working here during the day if they wanted. They have quite a bit of baked items and a bunch of coffee and latte options as well as tea. I ordered a coffee to go as I wasn't hungry at the time. Staff were fast and friendly. They have milk and alternatives. I took a sip and the coffee wasn't really that great. I'd say it's OK but reminds me of some of the other chains. It's a decent spot to drop in to grab something to go but I'll keep looking for a different place in the area.

Ezra's Pound located along Dupont near Spadina (closest subway station being Dupont) is coffee shop…read moreserving up coffees, teas, and pastries and sandwiches. They also have coffee gear as well as a small pantry of items for purchase as well. I've been to Ezra's Pound several times throughout the years where I've found that their coffee is consistently good. I recently stopped by Ezra's Pound again to grab a coffee. Service was friendly and I had my cortado there. The space is casual and chill with their black and white tiled floors and wooden tables. I ordered at the counter and was tempted to grab a pastry but decided against it. I also noticed that they had sandwiches you can purchase as well for lunch. After ordering at the counter staff were nice enough to bring my drink to me. My cortado was made well with latte art as well. Overall, a great neighbourhood spot for coffee, tea, pastries, or lunch. The cool casual interior make you want to stay and enjoy the vibes of the space. Definitely do check this coffee shop out for great coffee if you are around the area!

Alright people who love cafes this is a place you must visit, very cozy, a little old school (with…read moreold furniture and the huge sign), gives vintage vibes. The cafe is small however plenty of seat available. The place was half full on a Monday noon with some regulars and some people are there to work/study/read. Whoever was playing music had a good taste in music (can keep it a bit low but that's a personal opinion) Now the sandwich is goood, I wanted vegan option and some of the things were already sold out however the cashier/Barista recommended this sandwich and it was good. The price may seem a little high but I think they use quality stuff so it seems reasonable. Got my nice hot Cappuccino and the price of coffee is pretty good. Also the pour over - black coffee I had afterwards was pretty decent as well. Will definitely recommend going there to sit and enjoy the experience of this cafe.

Lost Coffee needs to be discovered by more espresso fans! This cute little stand in the Chef's Hall…read morein downtown Toronto serves up some mighty fine coffee. I was staying around the corner at the Hilton and set off on foot in search of coffee that didn't come from the Tim Horton's locations that seem to be on every block of the city. I was intrigued by the Chef's Hall sign, and stopped in. The first business inside the door is Lost Coffee. With a gorgeous espresso machine and no line, I was sold. I ordered a cappuccino and the friendly barista got to work. She took her time crafting my beverage, which I appreciated. She even took the time to make pretty milk art. It's the little things that really add up to a lovely experience at a coffee bar. The menu had some hot teas and other coffee beverages, also a few savory and bakery items (the cookies didn't look very appealing, or I would've purchased one). There are plenty of seating areas in the Chef's Hall, which is a communal food court type of place. It's open and hip and has a trendy vibe. I was covering TIFF and I used the downtime to sip my cappuccino and organize my film notes. Nobody rushed me and I could have hung out all day. My espresso was piping hot and delicious. It was thick, creamy, and rich with the perfect ratio of coffee to milk. My only pet peeve is that my coffee was served in a paper cup, although I was enjoying it to stay. It still tasted good, but I do prefer the formality of having expensive espresso in proper ceramic serveware. I ended up loving Lost Coffee so much that I returned several times during my stay in Toronto. My only regret is that I didn't discover this place sooner. Check it out for some quality, gourmet, artisan coffee.
