“ A grade! Seriously amazing. I'd give a million stars if I could. Amazing place to bring people, drink, and have quality drinks. Impossible to go wrong here! :) ”

“ The best coffee and cocktail bar in all of Toronto. Once upon a time there were cocktail/coffee spots in Toronto with exceptional service choices, curated snacks, and to-go beer, and ciders. But you missed that time. Jason, Alex, Bronwyn (days) and Adrian (nights) serve up and curate the best taste experience in the city. Adrian, through his genetics, provides a posterior, hair flow, and facial experience between Adrian Grenier and Timothee Chalamet. Bring your gf's and most Zaddy-loving bf/bff's and tell me I am wrong. The most fabulous Toronto example of that cool viby spot where super handsome, deeply attentive, and tasty snacks and drinks match up in downtown Toronto is still Voodoo Child. The baked goods are UNREAL: Nanaimo Bars, cookies, butter tarts, chocolate chip muffins, and croissants. The pickles are unbelievable. The pickles are definitely the best in the city. Not fried. Sorry kids, it's a small space back there. The music is always AWESOME. The vibe is Brooklyn without the flight and hotel cost. And as friendly as if your parents really loved and wanted you! Come here. Thank me later. (Missing things in the evening: the breakfast sandwiches, bagels & cream cheese, decaf, grilled cheese, fries, other hot crispy things...and more tinned seafood choices on the menu to go all aphrodisiac with the vibe/cocktails/worker's tails). ”
“ The drinks are excellent! I recommend stopping by to enjoy either a cocktail or a latte. ”
“ My favourite coffee in Toronto ! The owner Jason is such a nice and helpful guy. Not only is the coffee phenomenal but they also Make great cocktails, sandwiches and preserves. I love their voodoo espresso martini made and Temporal Orangements made with Crystal Head Vodka and their Signal Hill Spritz made with Signal Hill Whisky. Their baked treats are awesome too. Great location of college and Bathurst street. Love stopping in here for a nice little pick me up ! ”
“ This coffee bar is a perfect space for its location, reflecting perfectly the age and the feel of the buildings which have occupied this area of Queen Street for 100 years. The service is absolutely exceptional. After only a few visits, they will remember your name. The coffee is unfailingly good and the space, although small, is incredibly warm and welcoming. Later in the day this location doubles as a bar. I have not attended later in the day, but I would expect the friendly, neighbourhood atmosphere would continue into that time. ”
“ This place has a cool and chilled atmosphere. They offer many kinds of coffee at a time with hot or cold beverages. They have limited seating but the ambience is really warm and comfy. Cashier was nice and helpful. Drink and cookie were tasty. ”
“ Came here for a happy hour cocktail by myself and left very happy. The espresso martini was amazing, and the atmosphere super chill. The two staff were also very friendly. Thanks guys! ”
