"Sam James Coffee Bar, Queen West by Kindred Studio. Sam James is synonymous with the return to small batch roasting and damn fine coffee in Toronto. The newest location is situated across from ever-popular Trinity Bellwoods Park after the rather sad shuttering of their previous Ossington location. Thankfully, it hasn't stopped James and the Cut Coffee roastery from making a home in our fair city. Stop in to refuel on a Queen West shopping quest or on your way to sit amongst the crowds (both human and canine) in the park."

The coffee is delicious, no doubt about that, coming from Brazil I enjoy a strong and tasty coffee and this one definitely met my expectations. There’s not a lot of options of food though, maybe is just the time I went, late Sunday afternoon. I tried the savory scone and it tasted good, prices are fair.

One of the most consistent coffee shops in town and conveniently located across the street from Trinity Belwoods Park! Their Flat White is one of my favourites!

Small beautiful cafe right across Trinity Bellwoods park. They have a limited menu and only serve more popular warm drinks (espresso, Americano, drip, latte, chai latte ...). Make sure you bring cash or debit card, as they don’t accept credit card. Coffee tasted perfect and I really enjoyed sitting by the window looking at Trinity Bellwoods. Highly recommend this cafe.

Great coffee and good price! No tables and not a lot of sitting space but it's a good place to grab some coffee to go. They only accept cash.

I always go to Sam James on the weekends to get my favourite Almond Milk Latte. Their Americana's are amazing too. One of the the best coffee shops in Toronto. And definitely spoil yourself with their pastries. Be advised that they only take CASH.

I went to their first location on Harbord regularly until I moved away. So happy to see them expanding across the city. Coffee and service is great and my friend said their London Fog was the best she ever had. I love their apple scone. Their ham and cheese on a fresh croissant is a great deal at $3.25. My only wish is that they were open earlier and later.

SJCB makes one of the the best cappuccino in the city. Their drip coffee is also excellent! The baristas at this location are so lovely! I would not even considering stopping anywhere for coffee. It's places like these that make Trinity Bellwoods an amazing neighbourhood to live in!

Small Cafe located near Trinity Bellwoods Park. They have great coffee and are known for their high quality matcha lattes. My friends got a matcha latte and the hibiscus tea. I would love to see more caffeine-free options here. There is very limited seating and the shop can get really crowded on weekends. The employees are pretty patient with explaining the menu. Expect high quality drinks here - The matcha tasted great and the hibiscus tea was the right strength and brewed fresh from tea leaves.

Very much a grab-and-go café. As other reviewers have mentioned, the prices are slightly higher than other cafes in the area. Surprisingly, considering how much (good) competition is in the area. I love a good Hojicha latte but what I had here was just OK. Normally, I love their vanilla bean latte at their other locations. However, this was a miss here as well. Otherwise, the service was great and the baristas were lovely. I'd try them again, especially with its proximity to Trinity Bellwoods, but I'd much prefer their other locations.

The Library Specialty Coffee, right across from Trinity Bellwoods Park is the coffee shop's second location (first location is near Dundas/McCaul). This location is slightly bigger than the first where the décor is minimalistic. There are benches to enjoy your coffee/cookies if you'd like but this is primarily a takeout place. There are their coffee beans and other coffee gear for purchase. Been to this location several times. Prices are slightly pricier than other coffee shops around the area I believe. However, my drink orders are always made well and the staff are friendly. Overall, definitely a great coffee shop to check out around the area!

My favourite coffee shop in Toronto. They have the best vanilla lattes and croissants. The baristas are always very friendly and put a lot of care when making the drinks.
