Neo is one of my favorite coffee shop chains in the city and for a good reason! From great quality coffee and matcha to a great atmosphere and service at the counter, it always meets my expectations. I also love their seasonal menu that changes regularly and their weekend jazz nights when the coffee shop transforms into a bar :) read more

NEO COFFEE BAR KING X SPADINA - Coconut foam cold brew (World Cup edition) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

NEO coffee bar has a few locations in downtown Toronto and I have been to a few of their locations over the year. I usually get the hojicha latte or matcha latte. I don't think it ever really wow'd me or left me thinking that was a really good latte. It's on the lighter side and not very strong. The aesthetic of this location is really nicely designed. It has a lot of seating space. It was really busy on a Friday afternoon. At 5pm someone went around with a no laptop sign forcing people to put their laptops away. read more

I come here all the time and yet I've never left a proper review... The staff here are so lovely and polite. Even on the business days they're always gracious and polite...its almost a controlled chaos behind the coffee bar On weekdays laptops for work and study are allowed, but not on weekends as it's reserved for a more relaxing atmosphere. It's quite spacious with high ceilings. Their drinks are consistent and tasty and I like that a matcha latte is still affordable while nkt compromising on taste. I wish I could taste the desserts they have - it looks like they rotate quite a bit but unfortunately I'm gluten and lactose intolerant :( they have this really pretty yuzu ganache dessert that I want to try the most... read more

Whenever I'm in the area I usually drop by and get a matcha latte to go. This time we decided to sit for a while. We were lucky to get a table since it's always busy here whenever we go! We also got a chocolate cookie which was decent. Overall their Neo has been consistently one of the better cafes for matcha that I've had! read more

Enjoyed a coffee date and catch up with an old friend today. The tall ceilings make it feel spacious but intimate at the same time. The afternoon sun came in beautifully at 6pm. Bathrooms were gender neutral and single stall - clean and well decorated. The coffee and drinks are cost about the same as Starbucks. Would definitely come here again to study, read, or meet a friend. Ps They did have a no laptops on Sundays and holidays sign. . read more

NEO COFFEE BAR KING X SPADINA - Matcha latte with bar in background - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A high traffic location, not ideal for lingering too long and having a relaxing time to enjoy your drinks/food. In terms of aesthetics, vibe and decor borders on the minimalist style . Place is always busy (peak or non-peak hours) and noise level is high. If you're planning to spend a quiet and calming time, this is definitely not the place for you. No laptop/no tablet policy after 5 pm is heavily implemented. It's best to avoid this coffee shop if you're planning to use your laptop or tablet. Ordered coffee and it's well balanced and less acidic in taste. Despite having good coffee, I don't think I will come back to this place due to uninviting ambiance. read more

They serve the best matcha drinks here. I love their matcha, and recently, I've developed a new addiction to their Genmaicha latte! The toasty aroma of roasted rice combined with green tea. what more could you ask for? They also have full cases of croissants, cookies, and cakes. I highly recommend their Basque cheesecake and choux cream (both matcha and original), you won't regret it. The cafe is kept clean and well-maintained. I've noticed they've started implementing a no-laptop/computer policy in the café and encouraging people to spend time away from screens, which I really appreciate. There's nothing worse than walking into a café hoping to sip a good latte, have a nice conversation, or read a book, only to find every seat taken by people working on their laptops. read more

No stranger to Neo Coffee Bar, this particular location is in a prime location just a few steps away from King and Spadina. I've been here more times than I can count for coffee, tea, and even wine. The cafe is big with it's tall ceilings and lots of natural light, however, it can be extremely hard to find a table or seat during prime hours of the day (which is pretty much all day) as there are many people who bring their laptops to work here. The great thing is that Neo Coffee Bar enforces a no laptop policy during certain hours of the day as well as on the weekends. During the night they have wine, cocktails, small bites and even sometimes live Jazz! I have no bad things to say about Neo Coffee Bar. The staff are always friendly, the pastries are delicious, and the space is just relaxing. Drinks are always made at a reasonable time even if they are busy and my favourite go tos are cortados, hojicha lattes, as well as the Neo vanilla cold foam during the summer. They also do a lot of seasonal drinks and pastries which change throughout the seasons. I love coming to this particular location of Neo Coffee Bar again and again.... and I will continue to keep coming back even if the seats are completely full...just to grab a coffee to go. One of my favourite coffee shops in the city and would highly recommend it to anyone!! read more

Service is always rude and aloof. I never have asked before, but I've been really craving strawberries, so I asked to have some strawberry syrup drizzled on the basque cheesecake, the server said no, I asked what was the difference between adding the syrup on a drink or a dessert? She said she couldn't do that, I offered to pay extra, she refused again, claimed the boss didn't allow that (?!?!), I told her forget it then, I walked out, I go regularly, it's around the block from my place, I get coffee and food there often, that's were I meet my friends for coffee and dessert, not anymore, I won't be going back. read more

This was on my food bucket list for a while and I finally got to go and try it out. The ambiance was really nice, and there was plenty of seating but at the time we went, it was pretty busy. We wanted to try some of their cakes, but since it was evening time, the ones we wanted to try were already sold out. I ordered the seasonal Matcha Berry Latte. It was good but I should have opted for the matcha sweetener, to make the drink sweeter. Overall nice experience, would definitely have to come back during the day to try the desserts. read more

Came here with a friend on Friday night and was super impressed by the ambiance. There was live jazz music playing, the place was very spacious and very lively (it was probably a full house). Luckily there were a couple of tables outside that we were able to snag, and it wasnt too chilly yet.. Since this particular location was near The Well, it was quite pretty outside as well.. There were also cute merch. including a Mt Fuji shaped mug. As for the matcha latte that we ordered, it was probably on the pricey side for its size, but it was still good! :) Would probably be back again given the vibes and the location. read more

From out of town. I loved my berry Matcha latte so much! I walked here after the Blue Jays game and I had to come back again the next day because I knew it wouldn't be a disappointment. Go here! The muffin was a little dry the matcha cookie was ok. The workers were very nice the lady at the register helped me decide on how sweet I wanted my Matcha she was very patient and friendly. read more

Cafe with such a lovely vibe, tall ceilings with plenty of seating. I was there during a middle of the work week during working hours and it was pretty filled and we were lucky to grab a seat. I ordered a genmai-cha latte and you can also customize the milk choices and sweetness, which is perfect. I love that they don't just have the usual matcha latte but something a little different. I didn't get to try their baked treats but they all look so good! Highly recommend. read more

I heard a lot of good things about this place so i decided to try it out this morning. I ordered an iced matcha latte and I was honestly very disappointed despite all the hype it was getting. The matcha had no flavour, it just tasted like watered down milk so I ended up throwing it out. Other than that, the service was very fast and overall was a more quiet and cute vibe. read more

I think Neo might just be one of the best coffee/tea/pastry shops in the city. I've been a big fan since their first location and the company truly excels on perfecting their drinks and baked goods. They specialize in Japanese styled drinks like matcha/hojicha/genmaicha but their espresso based drinks are perfect too. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon hoping to get some work done on my laptop while enjoying some matcha and desserts. Unfortunately it was packed! In hindsight I should've checked for seating before placing my order. The tables were not turning over as everyone else had the same idea and were working on their laptops too. Got my matcha latte in a nice mug but couldn't find a seat so I asked the staff to pour my drink in a takeaway cup. Didn't think it would be a busy time but anyway, the matcha was mediocre, not really worth trying again. Many other options downtown for a nice cafe with more seating. read more

A good spot for getting work done! This space has lots of seating to work with friends, alone, or to meet up with coworkers. They also have a no laptop policy after 5pm, which I think is really neat! Service was quick and nice. Since I heard this spot was known for their matcha and hojicha, I tried their hojicha latte as I did work here and loved it. Good drinks and great lively, bustling space. read more

What a beautiful vibe. In the day time, a soothing calm cafe. In the evening, a cool place for dessert and get together. Egg salad sandwhich - 5/5 I did not expect that it'd have a dash of garlic. Savory and smooth. Genmaicha latte 3/5 I'm just unfamiliar with it. It was sweetened but did not give a sweet taste. If you don't have an acquired bitter taste, I recommend you should try other drinks. If you are adventurous, genmaicha is not nutty it's more dried seaweed if dried seaweed were a latte. Clean, ultra spacious. There's a huge wide table in the front and center of the room. The rest of the tables were super tiny and round. I hoped to spend my morning with my laptop here but the size of the small tables don't accommodate for it. Overall, the vibe is great. But don't expect it to be a laptop work cafe in the morning or in the evening. read more

I frequent this location since it's close by to where I work and I've purchased the match lattes with non-dairy alternatives at various hours. It's just been hit or miss. On a slow day, the drink is good but I mostly find myself with a drink where the matcha is a tad astringent and at times mixed poorly. I sometimes end up with clumps as I near the end of my drink. Consistency is really important and really hope they can work out any kinks as this location is a really popular one. read more

I love to work here because of how spacious it is and the great vibes. Unfortunately, the internet is not the fastest so I don't recommend if you need to take a meeting here. They also have a no laptop policy outside of the Monday to Friday 9 to 5 hours. They have a variety of baked goods, cold and hot drinks as well as non-concaffeinated options. I have tried their lattes drip coffee, some of their ice drinks, cookies, egg sando and more. Everything is always fresh and tasty. The washrooms are code protected, spacious and clean. On weekends they have jazz night where a live band performs. They also serve Japanese inspired tapas in the evening, and transform into a bar. Overall, I would recommend coming with friends or just to relax but it's not the best place to do serious work. I keep coming back and it's definitely one of my regular spots! read more

I've been to Neo twice since its opened - once at 8AM after an early workout at the Well, and once around 11AM (both on Saturdays). It was significantly busier at 11AM, with almost all seats occupied and a consistent line, so expect a crowd during peak hours. This new location is more spacious overall, but the tables are still quite tiny, so not the best place to get work done. They definitely encourage socialization with this setup, as well as their no-laptop policy at certain hours. Their drinks are consistent, and I'd love to check it out later in the day when they convert to a cocktail bar with live music. read more

Love the currently-featured espresso, Ethiopia Bensa. So berry-like. Love it so much. Highly recommended to my friends who are always admiring of the taste. And the ambience is amazing. The decibel level is in the low 70s (this is low enough to have a comfortable conversation using only quiet voices) even when full of customers, thanks in part to functionally-beautiful acoustic baffling walls, and high ceilings. I come for the coffee. But I do like the Basque cheesecake every now and then. read more

Iced matcha latte tasted like ice-watered milk. 40% ice cubes, 58% milk and 2% matcha. Never again.

Great cafe with lovely interior & menu options. Interior is clean & super well-decorated. There is seating available but can get busy so it may be difficult to find a spot. Staff is pretty friendly except a slight mistake - I ordered an iced matcha latte & they gave me a hot one instead but I didn't have time to wait for a new one to be made. Other than that, drinks were carefully made with quality ingredients. read more

This is the story today on 1:34 pm Saturday, Feb 15th, 2025 I lived about 10-15 mins walk from this coffee shop, so frequently I go there often with friends for a little coffee chat time. Today I had breakfast with my friend, after that I walked home. Too much morning coffee makes me go to bathroom more frequently. As I urgently need it. I passed this coffee shop by and I know there is bathroom in the back, but I never used before. So today I got in from a big snow outside, went to the back, and apparently it requires code to open the door, so I went to the front and asked, "May I get the code use the bathroom?" The staff (slim, roughly in his 30s, male Caucasian) at the counter said: "sorry, it's for paid customer only." Me : "please, it's urgent, I'll be quick." Staff : "sorry, paid customer only" Me : "wow, okay!" Then I walked out, rushed to the Well nearby to use the bathroom, through this snow storm. As a regular customer live nearby, to be honest, their products are not cheap at all. But after today, I certainly will never go back there anymore with what I experienced today. Plus I want to advertise the chocolate store nearby (near Spadina & King) called Soma. They have one of the best hot chocolates in Toronto, they aren't cheap either, but for the same price of a hot chocolate drink, Soma is much better quality. read more

Great coffee and meeting spot. The pastries looked better than they tasted. But good spot for coffee

We walked to get some drinks and sweets, after buying some pastries we got home to open the box to find that they gave us the wrong order. We had to walk back in the cold for blocks after we had tipped them for a takeout order only for them to act rude when we walked in to ask for the original order we had placed that THE STAFF got wrong. The guy with short red hair was rude and not once did he even expressed that they felt sorry for getting the order wrong. I asked if they were gonna compensate for causing guests inconvenience for something that they should have done correctly. He rolled his eyes and said just grab a cookie in that side. He made an annoyed face that we brought him the order back and was inconvenienced because we wanted the CORRECT items we ordered. WE WILL NEVER COME BACK. STAY AWAY there are places that treat you better and have better coffee and pastries read more

I have been visiting Toronto for the last few days, and was fortunate to stumble on this newly opened branch of Neo Coffee. It's already become massively popular, and sometimes it looks like it could be a challenge to get a seat. They also have a policy at 6:00 p.m. of no laptops, though I don't know how rigorously they enforce that. But the lights do seem to lower, the alcohol comes out, and it has a bit more of a cocktail bar vibe. There are several large communal tables, and then a whole bunch of small tables along either wall, which seem to have access to regularly situated outlets. Service is friendly, and while I did not try any of the delicious looking Japanese pastries, my mocha was on point two days in a row. Obviously, this is a place to which I would come back and already have. I have used this place to do work, but I would recommend good noise canceling headphones if noise bothers you. It's not inordinately loud, but there are lots of people, so there is a certain bustle. I dig it. read more
