Jimmy's Coffee Toronto

Seriously cool coffee

Cameron from Toronto

""Jimmy's Coffee" Toronto is my personal favorite spot to grab my fix of espresso. The double shot is potent and flavourful, just the pick-me-up you need..."

We Torontonians are serious about certain things, and coffee is one of them. Ask us what our favourite coffee outpost is, and expect to get five different, passionate answers. You’ll see a few options already listed here- Sam James, Balzac’s and Pilot among them. Dear traveller, let me confuse you more with my own choice- Jimmy’s.

You could go to Starbucks, but… why? And there's our Canadian chain Tim Hortons, but anyone with any coffee credibility wouldn’t be caught dead there. You really can’t go wrong at many of the local shops, but I keep going back to Jimmy’s. Why? For one thing, the coffee is great. I’m an espresso man, myself, and the double shot is potent and flavourful, just the pick-me-up you need. The staff are lively and friendly, and the atmosphere is funky. Mismatched chairs, eclectic reading material, an old fireplace and tin-plate roof decorated with taxidermied birds… all while the well-curated playlist churns out the latest from Canadian indie bands like Austra and Purity Ring, punctuated by some disco hit of the 70s… it’s a hipster dream.

There are four locations around the downtown area to choose from, and I usually opt for the spot at Queen and Ossington. There are plenty of spots to sit and work, and loads of plugs to charge your various items. Plus the Wi-Fi is free- a must!

Take a break from your excursions and drop into Jimmy’s- a serious cup of coffee in a very non-serious atmosphere.

Toronto Spotter Cameron

About me I am a lawyer who loves to explore the world, and especially my own city! I've lived in Toronto since 2010 and this is definitely my adopted home. I love restaurants, art galleries, shopping, and the quirky little places which make a city truly unique. I also love movies, live music, theatre, cooking and bad TV. Why Toronto Toronto is a great, livable city. You can get around easily, and many places are in walking distance. It's a city made up of different neighbourhoods, all with their own particular feel. It's very green here, with plenty of parks and green ...

Broadview Espresso

Comfy coffee corner

"Broadview Espresso" in Toronto makes cappuccino just the way I like it -- almost scalding hot! I love sitting at the patio in the wooden seats...
