Such a cute cafe ! I loved the artwork and the music playing and the staff seemed really friendly . Oh and that iced mocha I got was just perfect for a hot summer day :)

Carlos SpicyW

One of my favourite coffee shops in Toronto. Love the decor and always a great atmosphere. The iced chai latte is great here!

Işın Ünlü

One of best cafes in Toronto! If you wanna work or study here, dont try :) cuz it's too loud ! But good design, good location and best coffee in the city !

Dan Brown

One of the best cafes s in the Kensington/Chinatown/Spadina area. Great selection of lunches and coffees . Take a spot on the mezzanine floor if you want some quiet - it gets... *yelling* REALLY LOUD !

Luke Albert

Almond lattés that are usually pretty close to perfection, and usually some great vegan treat . I find their espresso sweet - think delicious molasses. Beautiful atmosphere.

Franz Vitulli

Great coffee and very nice decor. So much space to hang out with your friends or to use your laptop at the communal tables .

Mário Lapoš

Gotta appreciate the staff , lots of natural light and work-friendly http://torontoism.com/toronto-news/2016/05/work-from-coffee-shops-toronto

Great space! I was here for a wedding - great venue for a party. Jasmine tea is great. Tea comes loose leaf and in french press - and I'm noticing that coffee drinkers get individual french press .

prima fili

Good vibe, nice decor, the roll I had was a bit stiff but the flat white was quite good. A cool place to sit and do stuff. Communal tables though.

Diogo Noronha

The espresso is one of the best in town (of not the best), and make sure to try their muffins ! It's not a work friendly environment , though.

Ian Leung

After all these years, this deep dark latte is still my favourite in Toronto.

Lou Lou

Great string cappuccino and espresso . Nice service too.

Lena Cipollone

All of the drinks are amazing especially the cappuccinos !! One of the best made in the city . Baked goods are nomilious :)

Arthur Chayka

Friendly staff , chill beats, great idea with communal tables , but this lofty space feels more like an upscale jeans outlet than a coffeehouse . Too noisy and starbuckslike ordinary.

Jason Quintal

Maybe the best looking cafe in the city . They make those lattes with designs drawn on top. Nice touch.

Deborah Puiggali

Perfect for a morning time. Nice coffee and bakery ????????

Elle McFearsin

My favourite coffee place in TO. Grab a mocha , sit at the communal table and people watch .

Ncedile Mankahla

Lovely staff , balanced coffee . And good ambiance music . Lovely place to work .

Vivian Lam

My top pick for flat white ! Better than rabbit hole in asia and any other vancouver flat whites !

Rachel B

Great place to meet innovative people who are coming and going from the centre for social innovation (CSI)

Marvin

Great space to have a conversation with someone; not so great space if you plan on camping out with a laptop . Go elsewhere for that.

Find a Coffice

Great place, always full of laptops and people plugging away. Oh yeah great coffee too. Get the Iced Americano . (via @elatlboy) Read more

Tatjana

Great cafe because of location, decor and coffee . Not so great because of half awake staff , unreliable free wifi and loud music .

Nauman Noor

Decent coffee and sandwiches . Service can feel overwhelmed during peak times

Japhet Bower

The butter tarts and brownies are the best in the city ! Grab a cappuccino while you're at it, sit down at the big table and spend all afternoon reading the papers. You might even make a new friend.

Brandon Donnelly

Nice big tables and a great space

Judy Harrison

Delicious ham and cheese croissant . Above average tasting latte . Nice presentation...

Luke Andrews

You could go to any Dark Horse, but you might as well go to the nicest, grandest one. Reliably great coffee .

King Blue Condos

@darkhorsecafe - wi-fi & a more cozy , hip , stylish feel caffeine fix. @MaddestRedGirl loves her coffee ! Read more

London Fog was delicious and not overpriced like most cafes .

Kidhack

If you're going to work from here make sure your laptop is charged (and has a good battery) cause this place doesn't have any outlets .

Alina D

Great coffee but you drink it sharing a big table....it's ok to share!

Abe Batthish

Great to work in - nice long communal tables , but no power sockets at all.

Nathan Caress

Good amount of seating - get a cortado and hang out for a bit.

Paulo

Best coffee in the city .... No exaggeration

지연 Lee

I like flat white here.

Justin Cumby

The raspberry and coconut bars are spectacular - if you don't try these and they're in the window you've made a bad decision! So good

Skye

Banana Bread too die for. Where are the outlets for my computer. Very cool people. I see 6 gingers hanging out today.

Zak Homuth

My go to hipster-coffee-shop meeting place. Everyone knows it and there is usually room to sit.

Oksy Cantskate
