We only discovered this gem over the summer but once we tried the ever changing varieties of excellent coffee, we were hooked! Coffee from the chains can't possibly match up. And the owner is super nice and obviously takes great care in what he does. The Coffee Lab is the best!

The Pourover was fantastic!!! Service was quick, the owner was friendly. Cute little coffee counter, proves the bigger isn't always better!
Awesome little (little is an understatement) coffee spot to grab a quick drink. There is a small bench outside but that is it! You don't need much to make great coffee anyways, try this place out if your walking by, the latte was very well made, one of my favourites VS other coffee shops. Also tried the specialty drop coffee which only the owner knows how to make, it is served cold in a small beaker but it wasn't as good as I had hoped.
You will never know how amazing the experience will be until you give it a nice try here! The owner is friendly and the sparkling water serving before coffee is even fantastic especially in your sleepy morning. I love 416 which is with the perfect balance of coffee and milk! Everything is so cool here!
Very interesting place, if you are a tourist searching for a nice coffee in Toronto, this is a "must go" place. It's just a tiny aquarium with an espresso machine. If you are a Coffee Geek, this is definitely a place to get your daily espresso. Nice espresso coffee, but unfortunately no other brewing method.
What a cool idea for a business! Came across this place while walking to Kensington and I am glad I stopped by.
The owner was knowledgeable and professional, and made the experience all the more enjoyable with his friendliness. He also features drip coffee which regularly changes and has interesting taste notes.
But the important thing is that his coffee is really good (I do not say this lightly because I am a barista and admittedly a coffee snob). Got myself a cappuccino - I personally found that the espresso was well balanced between sour and bitter with lots of body, and the milk was on the foamier side but probably suits well to the general crowd.
Unique little hole in the wall--LITERALLY. This little hub is pretty much built into a display-case 2x4ft area with a serving window. I stopped by for "the Drop" on a chilly Saturday afternoon. Yum!
I had a double espresso of the Rwandan coffee in the attached picture. It was phenomenal! I asked the barista and he said the beans were from Japan, crazy! Make sure you ask people sitting out front if you can't find the barista... It's likely one of them.
Great place for a quick cup of coffee, it’s a smaller place with limited to no sitting when the book store is closed.
The smallest coffee shop I have been to and the coffee is great!! Amazing concept and style. Something that no one should miss.
No bul****, just the best coffee
Love everything about this place. Location, concept and obviously the coffee!
Always featuring amazing beans, my favourite spot in town to catch an espresso before to head to work. Cannot recommend this place enough!
Love that they also feature Craig's cookies as, if you know them already, you know how fantastic they are and how perfectly they pair with a great coffee!
A very tiny place, but it's the taste that decides. Also serve you water while waiting for your coffee.
