This is a standout cafe among the many that line Queen Street West nowadays. You can't really go wrong with anything, they've got all sorts of contraptions so experiment. Food is nonexistent though.

The chai latte and the cappuccino are really good!!! Try the caramel salted brownie, so delicious! Also it is a good place to work or study!

We got the eggs benny, chili eggs (sorry I forgot to take a pic of that), and sides of avocado and halloumi. Everything was absolutely delicious!!The latte and black coffee we got were great as well!

Matcha tonic is a delicious summer alternative for your caffeine fix. Also features the most gorgeous avocado toast I’ve ever seen 💕

A very urban hipster type coffee shop. The white walls and high ceiling scream modern. A great place if you want to work alone. Do not recommend sitting near the entrance on a cold day.

Had iced chai tea latte. More milky than expected, but nevertheless it was tasty. Very good place to work, but be an 'earlybird' b/c seats fill up fast!

My favorite coffee bar in Toronto! Cool vibe, great staff, tasty coffee and best part is they have avocado toast!

Great cafe that also has beer and wine and if you like avocado toast, definitely give it a try.

Friendly staff. Crazy contraptions. Plenty of seating space. And free wi-fi! All chilled drinks served to stay are served in a Mason jar. Neat!

Great little spot. Cappucino was perfect, WIFI worked, enough seating for everyone... Can't ask for anything else. Will try the donuts next time !

So much room that it's refreshing. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is friendly and genuine.

Not a coffee lover? Try the London Fog with almond milk. It is delicious, and perfect on a coooooold day ;)

Decent portion of avocado, quite nourishing breakfast, but pricey for the toast. Place looks like a “mainstream” for making a good photo for Instagram :D
Tom ChanOctober 19, 2014
Nice urban hipster feel. The lattes are a bit on the bitter side. Nice place to get some work done.
Aleksandra SzumskaJanuary 25, 2019
The most original poached eggs I have ever eaten! ♥️
Priya MajeethiaAugust 27, 2018
Super brunch, proper coffee and value for money. A must-visit in Queen West.
A LNovember 4, 2016
Everything is delicious and decor is great but be wary of the tiny 11$ juice.. It's not worth it in quantity or quality. Prices not listed anywhere and this seemed rather excessive to me.
Sara AlShakerApril 9, 2016
Surprisingly, loved their avocado toast the most! Not to disregard the coffee. Neat spot.
Juliana ArdilaJune 29, 2016
Great place, high ceilings and good deco. Could use more outlets. Good cortado tho!

Sometimes they have coffee from the top European roasters e.g. Tim Wendelboe or Coffee Collective

The patio is upstairs and it's so clean! Nice hidden spot away from the chaos of queen west.

Avocado toast is fantastic and they make a killer cortado

Usually not a big fan of mocha but this place nails it. I can have it any day!!!
Sarah StrehlerApril 30, 2016
Coffee and sweets are good, but the service is so frickin terrible. The unfriendly staff makes me want to go to one of the million other great coffee shops in the area.

They're actually good at espresso here, make a mean flat white. Bump good music too.

London Fog is outstanding!
KidhackJuly 26, 2016
Overly sweet iced mocha with too much milk. Should use a dark chocolate with more emphasis on the espresso.
Erik BeerepootMay 27, 2016
Looks smaller from the outside than it is on the inside. Has plugs and seating.
