Best Coffee in Toronto
Toronto's top specialty cafés for serious coffee drinkers
Toronto's coffee scene is one of the best in North America. These are the roasters and cafés that have earned their reputations the hard way.
Pilot Coffee Roasters
$Toronto's premier specialty roaster. Every location is excellent, but the Distillery and Leslieville shops are the most atmospheric.
Sam James Coffee Bar
$The coffee bar that helped define Toronto's specialty scene. Still going strong — consistently excellent espresso and pour-overs.
Neo Coffee Bar
$Best coffee in the Financial District — Japanese-influenced approach, excellent matcha programme, and one of the cleanest espressos in the city.
Boxcar Social
$$Serious coffee paired with wine and cocktails — the only café in Toronto where the drinks programme at 10am and 10pm are equally considered.
Maker Pizza + Coffee
$Best cortado in the city. The Annex café is a neighbourhood anchor — consistent, thoughtful, and a genuinely good place to work.
