Dan BrownAugust 11, 2014One of the nicest Starbucks in TO is an old bookstore, which ties in nicely to its location next to Toronto Reference Library. It's a little loud so I recommend going to Balzac's if you crave peace.Upvote4Downvote
Best Starbucks interior space in all of Toronto. Former Albert Britnell Bookstore with original flooring, wooden wall fixtures, and one of two Clover Leaf Brewing machine in Canada. Lots is seating.Upvote9Downvote
John RhodesMarch 27, 2011I've visited MANY SBKs in every province and this one is definitely in my top three! The Clover brewer is one of only 2 in Canada (the other is in BC)! Try it with the "Komodo Dragon" for a kickstart!Upvote1Downvote
Kirk dudeOctober 4, 2014The coziest of coffee places ever. Super comfey, plenty of seats, homely decor. Fall drinks are out.

Alexandra PetruckMay 6, 2012if you have the money to become a regular they'll customize your takeout cup....that's all. but it's a good mainstreem cafe. Their brew is strong if you're into that. Lattes are well done (F. Vanilla)Upvote1Downvote
Paul CollinsMarch 8, 2020I walked into it in 1990 when it was a bookstore and it was magical. It still maintained the same mystque when it became a cafe.UpvoteDownvote
Patrick ErskineJuly 31, 2012Favorite Starbucks in the city. Huge, lots of seating, friendly staff, and they have reserve blends.Upvote5Downvote
This is the former Albert Britnell book store. Thus locals often call this location the Britnell's. Much of the wood finishing and decor are from the original store.

This is one of two Starbucks in Canada with the clover brewing system. Thy said - I'd never know it as the clover sign is after the cash and so I keep forgetting to purchase.UpvoteDownvote
Jan CoenenOctober 19, 2012Great location :-) cool team. Best Starbucks coffee. Try the clover with a good bean. :-)Upvote1Downvote
Anime CanuckJanuary 23, 2014Service is great here! - But there are never any seats. It's always packed, even in the middle of the day when you'd expect less of a crowd. I don't want to feel like a vulture waiting to sit... :(UpvoteDownvote
Amelie SiroisMarch 7, 2012This is a very beautiful, historical-looking and lofty Starbucks... I don't mind the 7 a.m. mornings anymore.UpvoteDownvote
Ilya RudominskyiSeptember 2, 2014Very like the interior of this Starbucks. Also the crew is very nice.UpvoteDownvote
Mike NguyenDecember 7, 2012By far the most stylish Starbucks I've ever been to. I really admire the bookstore theme.UpvoteDownvote
AS TorontoMarch 15, 2013Great staff. So friendly. PS Single ladies a lot of cute guys come here ;-)UpvoteDownvote
Catherine CFebruary 20, 2014This place can get super sketchy with homeless people sleeping on the couches and abusing staff. This guy threw a cup of hot water at one of the baristas.UpvoteDownvote
Still has that pleasant bookstore-like ambience!UpvoteDownvote

Devon MacDonaldMay 24, 2012Always upselling food and they seem disappointed when you pay with exact changeUpvoteDownvote
Liz SJuly 29, 2013Not impressed with this location. Garbage all over the floor and tables and filthy bathroom. Definitely not up to Starbucks standards.UpvoteDownvote
CWL Inc.February 10, 2010Does not appear to be a large number of power outlets. This location also has three booths/cubicles.UpvoteDownvote
