Cozy Cafes

[Towered]

915 DuPont? i also like the Balzac at Distillery District but I'm not sure that's super cozy.

It's definitely cozy - rustic heritage brick walls, repurposed antique furniture, chandelier, etc...

Not traditionally cozy but very relaxing and independent and it is on University at Wellington. Taken 30 June.

After a long stint in the penitentiary, it can be difficult to reintegrate into society. Sitting on a hard wooden bench in this cinderblock and concrete coffee shop will help to ease the transition.

In Midtown (Y&E), the Coffee Bar (formerly Istanbul Coffee & Bar), has been bought by the pub next door so will be slowly morphing more Irish than Turkish, but for now it's cozy, full of dark warm wood, has fireplaces, and has a front window view that overlooks a crosswalk if you're into people watching. Random bonuses - It's one of the few places I know that still offers Goth lattes and there's eccentric street art nearby.

I like the look of the comfy chairs.................the green on the exterior is a tad jarring!

Yeah, it was quite a bit nicer when it had a rustic wooden front.

Omigod omigod omigod! My old favourite Second Cup location near St. Lawrence Market that sadly became a cannabis dispensary for a bit is going to be a coffee shop again! Will have to update again once it's open to report on it's "cozy" status.

I'm really excited to see this, too. There's a desert of decent coffee shops in the immediate area of the market. I hope this is the beginning of the end for most of those dreary cannabis shops that blanketed the hood during the pandemic.

I've been to the Mofer down on Queens Quay and Jarvis. I liked it. It has a unique vibe and slightly different coffee from most Toronto third wave places. Lots of seats for hanging out or working etc.
