Extra Butter Coffee in Roncesvalles
One of the many terrific things about Toronto is how much great coffee there is to be tried. The Bulletproof butter coffee at Extra Butter Coffee on Roncy is definitely extra. I loved it. You can taste the butter, and the beans are dark and oily and fresh and delicious. 283 Roncesvalles Avenue.

Balzac’s Coffee Roasters
Whenever we visit the Distillery District our first stop is Balzac’s. It’s one of my favourite spots to get a coffee. I love walking into their cafes in both the Distillery and Liberty Village; the amazing smell of their delicious roasts is like a huge coffee hug. I discovered Balzac’s a few years ago when […]

San Remo Bakery in Mimico
When I want to bring a spectacular dessert to a dinner party, I head to a very special Italian bakery in south Etobicoke. San Remo is one of my favourite bakeries and cafes in the city, family-owned operating since 1969. The pastries are beautiful, fresh and delicious. Their macarons rival some of the best pastry […]

Cafe Con Leche Espresso Bar in the Junction
I am a coffee fiend and eat Nutella straight out of the jar, so when I heard there is an espresso bar in the Junction that makes a Nutella latte I couldn’t get there fast enough. I like how the main ingredient of Cafe Con Leche’s signature drink also doubles as decor. The lattes are […]

Lefkowitz closed permanently in October 2014. Original post: August 18th, 2012 I like a coffee shop that is not afraid to tell you they WANT YOU TO DRINK […]

Fair Grounds Cafe at Lakeshore & 24th Street in Etobicoke
One of my favourite coffee shops in the city opened another location! There is now a Fair Grounds Organic Cafe further east on the Lakeshore from the 40th Street main location. It’s smaller but still packed with all their amazing coffee and treats. They also carry the So-Ho-Mish skin cream made by the Honey Bee […]

Covernotes Coffee Shop in Richmond Hill
I am a huge fan of this cozy Richmond Hill coffee shop. The coffee and treats are excellent (I ate my huge delicious mocha brownie so fast I forgot to take a picture) but what really caught my attention was this: This sunny coffee shop has a lovely library section which hosts author nights. The […]

The Big Guy’s Little Coffee Shop in Mimico
A few of my very favourite things can all be found in this lovely Lakeshore coffee house. Delicious coffee, local works of art and really nice people. You know a place is special when it’s filled with super-friendly regulars. This gang said they were thinking of putting up a camera and starting a Big Guy’s […]

Birds and Beans Café | Mimico
When my husband takes a sip of coffee and says: “This feels like a warm hug,” I know this is coffee I need to tell you about. Birds and Beans is an independent cafe in Mimico that brews the loveliest organic, shade-grown boutique coffees. They also offer a lunch menu you can enjoy while overlooking […]
