Crosstown Coffee Bar

Lovely little café. The barista was agreeably chatty and full of character. It really brightens an otherwise fairly dreary neighbourhood. And I do like those pecan squares.

Amazing staff, always with great vibes, great coffee !
Cozy in the summers on the patio /​chairs outside.

Excellent coffee, yummy goodies. Perfect quiet location (easy parking). Neighbourhood coffee snobs should try it out.

Great little coffee shop tucked away off Ellington Avenue right near the Petri Canada. Skip whater crop they’re selling at the station and cut through the trees to this little oasis for something of quality. Nice simple to the point that décor and friendly staff.

I am a fan! I was hearing mixed things on the place from people in the neighbourhood. Nothing bad just some people loved it & others saying it was just good. I am a member of the loving it team. I’ve only been once but I will be going back soon. The place has a great vibe to it. It’s really welcoming, warm, bright & sunny. I loved it. They have a fairly simple menu that I really like. I ordered a cappuccino with soy milk & it’s delicious. I adore the fact that they don’t charge extra for soy milk. They had some little nibbles out on the counter including a gluten free, vegan tray. That won me over right there. I can’t wait to try another drink on the menu. Super adorable place. Worth checking out.

We started coming to this gem, and haven’t stopped. Espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, flat white, full caf, half caf and decaf; we’ve tried them all and have been impressed every time. We even buy our beans here. The baristas are exceptionally knowledgeable and super friendly — not in the least bit snooty as they can be at some independents.
The treats are also delish and the music and vibe are lovely, but for us it’s all about the bean and the roast and the pour and these guys are spot on. So glad they chose our neighbourhood and with the construction off the street it’s a calm lovely start to my day. Cheers!

Service best I’ve seen yet. Great barista, great explanation of the coffee, and an extremely good blend of beans this week.

This new coffee place is quite quaint; tucked in the neighbourhood west of Yonge and Eglington. The place is clean but warm inside. No AC and my friend and I sat inside where the windows were. Although we went right in the afternoon when the sun was blaring. It has free WiFi. The staff was very friendly offering us water on top of our order.
I ordered an iced coffee with milk. The two were well-​mixed and he made my iced coffee with espresso. Made my drink with a stronger taste which I liked.

A real gem hidden away on a side street just off of Eglinton West.
Had some time to kill before a job interview today, so I figured I’d explore the neighbourhood a bit. Stumbled across this place and it was just the thing I needed to give me come extra pep before my interview. I ordered an almond milk latte, which was bomb — smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, perfect temp, and perfect ratio of espresso to milk to foam. The barista was super friendly and a good conversationalist. The décor is rustic and casual — it kind of makes you want to move in and never leave =) Inside, there are a few small tables and a few bar stools set up at the counter and by the window. Outside, there are a few more small tables, two wooden benches, and a few Adirondack chairs (!). The only issue with my visit was that the air conditioning was not on (or not working) on the day I went and it was sweltering inside and out.
Air conditioning issue aside, there is nothing about this place that I don’t love. I will be back for sure, time and time again.

I love this place! I saw it on the way home one day and couldn’t wait to try it. I’m a huge fan of small independent coffee shops and cafes. I love that it’s very hidden away from the rest of Eglinton… Literally a hole in the wall, but very charming!
The gentleman who served my coffee and chocolate croissant was very accommodating and friendly. There is free wi-​fi and a small table near the window where people can sit. There’s also a small patio outside, but the construction that’s blocking the café is not a great attraction.
The coffee was wonderful! Dark and rich; just how I like it. And their croissants were from La Bamboche just down the road. Very tasty.
I saw somebody order the ice cream sandwich which I will definitely try next time.
If you live nearby, it’s worth trying for sure. It reminds me of Montréal and their breezy, easy-​going atmosphere. Great music too!

Love this place! Coffee is great. Friendly service. Love having a small local shop close by. Americano is great… Drip coffee is great. Only suggestion is that the samovars that they keep their drip in don’t match their overall ambiance — they look cheap diner-​ish. Hopefully a bit of an upgrade is coming there.

What a nice little coffee bar this is! It’s currently a bit hidden by some construction but it’s all worth it. I’ve already been here twice since opening (12 days ago). I’ve tried their iced latte, mocha, espresso shot and cookie and it’s all been great. Love the vibe there. Why? ‘Cause of Sasha and Monica :). Seriously, you don’t get that at every single coffee shop…
