Sam James Coffee Bar

A cappuccino worth making friends with. You can laugh together, you may cry. Ultimately, you're going to consume it with the fervor of a thousand rabid coyotes. Yeah. It's that good.

If you love hipsters you will love this place. It's got all the standards - great coffee , people w lots of ink, and mega attitude. Don't ask for anything out of the ordinary. This ain't Starbucks.

I love this cozy , original location. Try and snag a seat at the window for some good people watching !

Excellent danishes from Blackbird Bakery . Some of the best coffee in the city . Very friendly people.

The reason you come here is because every barista has been trained to know what's required to make a good espresso .

Great americano . A bit offside, but worth a visit if you’re close by.

Sam arguably makes the best coffee in the city . The espresso-based drinks are my usual vice, but all regular coffee is made in a press and they also do siphon coffee . Definitely worth a try! Read more

Sam really does make the best cappuccino in the city . Do yourself a favour and try the banana bread . Get a piece with crust. If you can find a better banana bread in TO, please let me know. Read more

Well done espresso & lovely pastries . Great for a grab on the run.

Always lit! Everything incredible! Sam James!!!!

They only take cash ugh — everything else though, great.

Best coffee in the city !!! Absolutely amazing

Tiny little cafe that'll serve up a delicious cortado .

Latte (include vanilla one) is soooo wonderful!! It has deep taste and really soft. Must try !

Try the siphon coffee ! This is the place for one of the best almond lattes in the city !

Great coffee , no space for sitting.. Grab and go

Great doughnuts on the weekend, but show up early.

The mocha is incredibly smooth.

One of the best coffees in town .

Cap is lighter, medium body, really smooth. First gulp did actually feel like a mouthful of blueberries .

I would say the best Americanos in Toronto! :)

Well made cap and cheap ($2.75). None of the barista had clichéd silly beards, either. Bonus points.

One of the better iced Americanos I've had.

Cash only ?

Very small but everyone loves it.

a bit noisy and not much seating inside, just 4 bar chairs . coffee was good though

They only take cash. But are sooo cool about it!

Cold brew ????

The apple danish thingy

Chocolate mocha delicious!!

You can’t choose the coffee beens. Baristas are very loud persons, so there was not quiet and cozy . Just one long table with bar chairs and other sitting places without any table. The scone was tasty

Amazing Americano !! Love it when people are passionate about their trade

Cash only .

Espresso macchiato !

Best latte I've ever had

Best espresso !
