Looking for the best coffee shops in Yorkville to grab delicious brews and pastries?
Bloor-Yorkville is known as the swanky part of Toronto, and it’s an absolutely lovely area to explore.
While there are a lot of luxury stores in Yorkville, there are also mid-range stores like Aritzia in the neighbourhood!
It’s one of the best shopping destinations in Toronto, and it’s also been home to Toronto Fashion Week for the last several years.
Even if you don’t plan on doing any luxury shopping, it’s still a super nice neighbourhood to explore.
I also love hitting up Eataly for Italian groceries whenever I’m in the area, and there are tons of incredible restaurants in the Yorkville neighbourhood as well.
Here are some of the top Yorkville coffee shops you absolutely must visit in Toronto, whether you’re looking for a good cup of joe or a nice spot to catch up with a friend.
If you’re in the mood for some exploring, grab a coffee and go on this self-guided audio walking tour to learn more about the history of the Yorkville neighbourhood.

Best Yorkville coffee shops
Goldstruck Coffee
Goldstruck is actually below ground so it’s a little dark inside, but it’s still a super cute and cozy café to visit.
They use organic and fairtrade coffee beans, which are all ground fresh to order.
Try their unique Halva Latte or Cayenne Latte, or go for a classic Cappuccino!
They also make their own pastries and cookies in-house, and they even have a small selection of sandwiches and salads on the menu if you’re hungry.

This relaxed and minimal café near Yorkville serves up delicious espresso and tea drinks alongside pastries and light bites.

A-OK Cafe
If you haven’t heard already, Aritzia now has their own in-house café, and their cafés are just as aesthetically-pleasing as their stores are.

They’ve got classic espresso and tea drinks like their Vanilla Latte or London Fog, as well as more unique seasonal items like their Ca Phe Da (Vietnamese coffee).
They’ve got quite a few tables inside if you’re looking to get some work done, or some cute patio seating out front if you’re looking to enjoy a coffee date in the sun!
Also a pro-tip: if you buy something at Aritzia, you can ask for a free drink! 😉

Balzac’s Reference Library
Balzac’s is a beloved Toronto coffee chain, brewing up amazing specialty drinks using their own coffee beans.
The Café Canadien is my absolute fave drink here, and I always get it with macadamia nut milk!

Get some work done at one of the shared tables, or do some people watching at one of the bar seats by the windows facing Yonge Street.

ZAZA Espresso Bar
ZAZA is by the same people behind Coco Espresso Bar, and they’ve got several locations across Toronto where they serve up authentic Italian coffee and gelato.
