Try their range of delicious teas. The tea jars are on the shelves by the entrance, bring the whole jar up to the counter & they'll pour a cup for you. Top it off with a vegan brownie and you're set!Upvote3Downvote- Matvey StvtskMarch 21, 2015Best coffee in downtown area and very cozy atmosphere. Great selection of coffee beans and teas. Wouldn't recommend eating here though, desserts and beverage only :)Upvote3Downvote
Ozge YNovember 14, 2014Lively, cozy, lots of choices and a big smile on everyone's face! Also ground coffee to go. Had a chai latte, found it amazing. By far my favourite coffee place in Toronto. No internet, though.UpvoteDownvote
Arnoud AalbersbergOctober 18, 2015Yes, best flatwhite so far in Toronto. Earthy and Chocolately flavour. That with a granola and a smoothie makes a great breakfast!

Jessie SSeptember 21, 2017Sneak out to the patio out the back:) they have a nice selection of pastries and some vegan food. To be honest though, I had a pretty average almond latte.

Diogo NoronhaAugust 6, 2014One of the best places in the city to buy gourmet coffee, and the price is so right! You'll pay $12 approximately for a pound of fancy ground or whole bean coffee.UpvoteDownvote
I am back at my favourite spot for coffee and in Kensington Market with no suburbanites or tourists, just good coffee, baked goods and music.UpvoteDownvote
Franz VitulliSeptember 23, 2016Little coffee shop with an impressive selection of teas and a great ambiance, very Shoreditch-ish for those of you who know London.UpvoteDownvote
Cynthia LiaoMay 2, 2018Wifi did not work (for me & friend), despite clarifying that it was functioning, on a non-busy weekday morning. Gave me milk instead of almond milk as requested in cappuccino (I'm lactose intolerant)UpvoteDownvote- Alexander S.August 30, 2016The variety of coffee they offer is insane!! Veggie sandwiches are great! The Patio on the back is quiet and comfy!:)UpvoteDownvote

Azeem ShaikhMarch 11, 2020Great caramel latte, coffee cake and samosa. Only bummer was that my device couldn't connect to the wifi and I couldn't work.UpvoteDownvote
MichaelMarch 20, 2018Good coffee and nice benches in the back to work while a former hippie now in her 60s listens to beach soundsUpvoteDownvote
A much better alternative to Starbucks (no extra for soy/almond milk). Plus they have delicious bite sized, fresh chocolate croissants for only .50 cents!UpvoteDownvote
