Propeller Coffee Co.

Turbo Espresso is my absolute unicorn – best home espresso I've ever pulled! I've been brewing at home for years, trying everything from Italian imports to other local roasters, and nothing has hit like Propeller's Turbo Espresso. This 50/50 Brazil/Colombia medium-dark blend is pure perfection for me: rich nougat, chocolate, and toffee notes that come through silky-smooth with mellow acidity and zero bitterness. The aroma when I open the bag or grind? Addictive – that classic Colombian perfume mixed with Brazilian depth just fills the kitchen. I've got my setup dialed in (18g dose, 36g yield at 94°C on my Meraki), and every latte or cappuccino feels effortless and elevated. It's the kind of coffee that makes you pause and think, "This is it – no need to keep searching." Scored 93 on Coffee Review for a reason, especially in milk drinks where it shines creamy and balanced. Freshness is spot-on too – my Jan roast batch is still peaking weeks later, no staleness like some longer-shelf imports I've dealt with. If you're in Toronto and love bold-yet-approachable espresso that crushes in lattes, grab Turbo. It's become my daily ritual and final boss blend. Propeller keeps delivering – highly recommend! ☕

Located in the Junction, this coffee shop is the perfect spot to cozy up with a book, bring laptop to do some work, or event gather with a few friends for your morning or afternoon coffee. The coffee itself is great - they are gungho on quality from the beans they use to the way they roast. Buy a coffee and then buy a bag of beans to go!

Just what I was looking for while bopping around for a cafe to do some writing in! Loved all the huge tables with loads of seating. The espresso was so divine. You can tell that they really care about their craft here. And it’s awesome to see all the roasting equipment right there in the cafe! Would definitely come back and try more bevies :)

Extremely low-quality coffee — very disappointing 😞 The hand brew was poorly done, wasting both time and coffee beans. The staff had a terrible attitude. When I asked which beans they would recommend, he couldn’t even be bothered to explain and just told us to read the packaging ourselves. Much more disappointing than expected. I won’t come back, nor would I recommend this place to anyone. Totally not worth it. There are plenty of much better coffee shops in Toronto.

In an unassuming spot behind an apartment block, Propeller Coffee wowed me. Service was quick and the coffee was great. When packed with people, there's a lively atmosphere, a great spot to get some work done. When there's just a few people, it's quiet and calm. A coffee shop needs a bit of both and I think this place has the right balance. Sitting near the larger warehouse type doors requires wearing your winter jacket, that's my only gripe.

Propeller Coffee in Toronto is an incredible, not so obvious wedding venue to work at! The space has a modern, industrial vibe with plenty of natural light, creating a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. The open layout allows for creativity, and the minimalist decor lets each couple’s unique style shine through. The venue’s combination of exposed brick, high ceilings, and cozy details makes for beautiful, warm, and intimate shots. The staff is fantastic—super organized, friendly, and accommodating, which always makes the day run smoothly. For couples seeking a trendy, urban space with a welcoming atmosphere, Propeller Coffee is an amazing choice! Highly recommend!

Loved my coffee, very high quality. The pregnant lady working was very sweet, and I also tried a ham/cheese croissant/pastry and they warmed it for me. Sooo good! Highly recommend. Lovely place to do your work too

Nice coffee shop hidden and tucked in the alley behind Lansdowne station. Spacious space working or meeting friends.
