About This Place

Welcome to Church Street Espresso, a hidden gem nestled at 585 Church St, Toronto, ON M4Y 2E4.

With a phone call away at +1 647-382-3221, you're one step closer to experiencing what makes this café so special.

At Church Street Espresso, the coffee is taken seriously. Their selection of specialty coffee liquors includes tantalizing choices like the Black Russian, Tipsy Hazelnut, and Wake Up Call. Patrons rave about the intricacies of their brews, with one customer, Samuel Jones, hailing the mocha as "one of the better ones" he had ever enjoyed in Toronto. The emphasis on high-quality, well-prepared coffee sets the tone for a delightful experience here.

But the offerings don’t stop at drinks. The café boasts a delectable menu featuring breakfast essentials like avocado, hashbrowns, and pancakes.

The atmosphere is another key highlight. Customers frequently comment on the "cute" feel of the café.

The ambiance, however, largely compensates for any minor hiccups, creating a welcoming environment where both locals and visitors can enjoy their time.

In sum, Church Street Espresso is not just about coffee; it's about community, quality, and that feeling of being part of something special.

Really nice place with some nice staff. I spent a lot of time when I was there reading between coffees. I enjoyed my time there, and everybody was quite chill. I liked my Mocha a fair amount, certainly one of the better ones I've had so far in Toronto.

Nice cafe with a patio to sit outside. Lots of different coffee and good food.

Cute little spot in Toronto downtown for some nice coffee and snacks. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is sweet and service is great. Absolutely would visit multiple times again.

Perfect place to have an amazing breakfast in a beautiful atmosphere. But the service was a bit rude and inconsiderate. We felt that the service given to us were different considering the attitude of the front desk lady when we asked if we could sit outside or about the specials. Everyone whether we are immigrant or not have the right to explore different cuisines, but the service wasn’t felt appropriate. Besides, great food and great atmosphere! We felt more welcomed by the other customers than the lady in the front.

Great breakfast and coffee! This café is a perfect breakfast spot in Toronto. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff are super friendly, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a lovely place to start the day. Highly recommend!

Excellent chopped egg croissant, full breakfast (Hungry Man) and coffee. Apple pastry will leave you satisfied. Wonderful tree lined, covered patio giving a good sense of separation from the street. Service is friendly & efficient.

Great patio for all seasons. My morning coffee spot. But also visit from time to time for an aftenoon snack and beer. Fun for people watching. Very friendly staff who know their customers.
