I haven’t been to Toronto in years but this was always one of my favorites. The drinks are adorable, everyone who works there is so nice, also try the carrot cake!
Cocoalatte on St Clair W is nice and cosy but if you’re willing to make the trek I’d recommend Coco’s neighborhood coffee shop on College! It’s my favourite cafe in Toronto, packed to the brim with vitnage furniture. The coffee is strong, and the sandwiches and pastries are unmatched.
If you ever find yourself in Halifax, NS, and want a boost of serotonin, check out the glitter bean café! Not only do they have great (and colourful) coffee, they’re also queer worker owned and operated 🫶🏻
Not unreasonably far from St. Clair west. Technically it's an "anti-café" (whatever that means) but they have coffee and tea, and it's a nice place to sit down, and the staff are lovely, and they even have some board games.
Coffee shop/bookstore in Ridgewood, I always find interesting stuff when I’m in there; they have a partnership with Molasses in Bushwick which is also a cool one!
