Cute Toronto Cafes

When I'm looking for a place to study that isn't the library, catching up with a friend or chatting up someone about their career path from a networking event, I like to head to a niche cafe that isn't Timmies or Starbucks. I alternate between the spots depending on what the purpose of the visit is.

It's a challenge to figure out which roll cake to order at Neo Coffee Bar.

161 Frederick St Unit 100, Toronto, ON, M5A 4P3

Hint: there are multiple locations downtown.

Possibly the best hot chocolate I've had at Quantum Coffee.

460 King St W, Toronto, ON, M5V 1L7

Tip: The cafe is right next to BrainStation, so it's a common study area for students.

I like to try the seasonal flavours at Hestia.

66 Wellington St W, Toronto, ON, M5J 2W4

If you're looking for quality coffee, Sam James Coffee Bar (SJCB) could be your thing.

You could get your caffeine fix in either tea or coffee at Dineen Coffee Co.

The pear cider is worth the visit at Pilot Coffee Roasters.

There is no shortage of unique flavours of coffee at Mos Mos Coffee.

There are tables and wifi so it's a perfect study area and their avocado smash toast is a nice treat for lunch at Vanta Coffee Club.

If you live uptown, there are delish eclairs at Fleur Patisserie.
