I just adore this place! Fav coffee shop!
Great staff and I love the design.
The best decaf coffee I've ever had. A beautiful stout roast with a ton of flavor. I'd still buy this even if I could drink caffeinated coffee.

Beautiful coffee shop located in one of the nicest areas in Toronto. It's located in the corner of a building next to a beautiful architectural piece. The inside has been kept rustic and old like the previous decoration was. I like that a lot, I believe it's a nice continuity to the whole building it's located in. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is huge and extends on a second level as well.ย
My friend and I were there as tourists, but we saw a lot of people studying since it's next to Georges Brown College and I believe that it is a perfect spot to study since the music isn't too loud and the seating area is huge.
As for the coffee, it was absolutely delicious. I ordered an iced coffee with soy milk and a vanilla pump. It's not too pricey, especially for an independent coffee shop located in a nice area.
My friend had a hot chocolate and she said it was very good, not too sweet, not too heavy.
The staff is very nice, very helpful and patient.ย
Definitely would recommend!
This outlet of Balzac's is located at the southern most end of the centre entrance to the distillery in a high loft building, serving its usual great coffee and pastries. The space is rather crowded on weekends.
Whenever we visit the Distillery District our first stop is Balzac's. It's one of my favourite spots to get a coffee. I love walking into their cafes in both the Distillery and Liberty Village; the amazing smell of their delicious roasts is like a huge coffee hug.
I originally wanted a apple cider drink but they were sold out so I ordered their hot chocolate, it was pretty good. When I order hot chocolate at timmy's it usually leaves a weird aftertaste in my throat, I don't know if anyone else has experienced that feeling, but it was nice and smooth here. I also love that they have a complimentary water station available. This place is big and rustic, I like it!
This place was super cute! I loved the decor and atmosphere. My latte was really tasty and the coffee beans I took home were just as good. I'd go again!

Too crowded, slow service, average coffee, highly priced. My shortest review on Zomato! They almost spilled some of my coffee before serving (in 2015).
In 2016 June, my experience was much better than the first. Cafรฉ mocha was truly a treat, it was unsweetened which made it better than other mochas. Cafรฉ frappe was something seriously good. Never tasted such a frappe in Toronto. It's still too costly for a single cup of coffee!
Such an amazing coffee shop in the distillery district! Loved the vibe and the outdoor patio. My Americano was ok...I've had better. But the magic bar was unreal!!! Would definitely go back!
Liked the place it is good. Very old style but modern antique looks. Clean and neat place to sit for sometime and stip. It was not so busy when I went but coffee flavour was smooth and well roosted.
Organic Hot Chocolate. Stopped in to the roastery for a hot chocolate last night during the Christmas Market. I went with the hot chocolate since it was very late, but the atmosphere and my friends drinks were amazing.
The exposed brick and high ceiling is the main reason I come here often. Oh, and itโs the only coffee shop in the area with extended hours, not to mention the staff is friendly and the place is very spacious for a downtown location. The coffee is OK. Itโs a great place to chill, hangout, read, or just take a coffee break.
I always enjoy all of the Balzac locations. They are set up with a great atmosphere and this location is no different. Whether you sit inside the historical building or outside and enjoy the sun, it's a great place to enjoy a coffee. I got a cortado and it was alright. I find the Balzac coffee to be slightly darker of a roast than I like for espresso and so it tasted quite bitter and over extracted. Not bad but nothing worth getting excited over either. Overall worth coming to sit and enjoy the atmosphere and have a nicer conversation.
Had coffee, tea and cookies. Liked each one while enjoying the charm of 1895 building. Being a week day, it was relatively less crowded..
If youโre in the Distillery and you need a quiet, cool place to chill.. this is it. Spacious, good coffee, fast wifi. Well recommended.
Best place in Distillery District to get a cuppa. An established chain of coffee shops that also serves food and has merch.
Love their coffee and I always get a bag of the winter roast for my dad for Christmas โบ๏ธ love the vibe within the cafe all year round but feels especially cozy during the holiday season ๐ turmeric latte is a cool, novel drink I had not previously experienced before Balzacs

The food and drinks were great. The ambiance in the seating area was really gentle, clean and relaxing. There is the option of getting drinks in a porcelain cup if you plan to sit inside rather than a paper to go cup, which added to the atmosphere. It is definitely a great place to stop by.
I do want to make note that of my experience on Tuesday February 22, 2022 at around 3:04PM. I visited with my partner, proceeded to order drinks and bakery items for the both of us and the worker that took the order was immediately and continuously condescending. They first began to state that this was not a Starbucks after I wanted to order a cappuccino for my partner. While they may perhaps wanted to educate me on the difference, the fact that that was their immediate reaction and used a condescending tone, was very unwelcoming. I followed by ordering a drink for myself, and pastry items for my partner and I. Upon including a second bakery item in my order, the employee taking my order repeated it back to me while sounding absolutely appalled that I wanted two bakery items. Perhaps they did not realize I was ordering for two people, but regardless of that it would be none of their business to judge how much food I would have wanted to consume for myself.
