Three Dots Coffee Lab

I visited Three Dots Coffee Lab recently and had a great experience. The ambiance is minimalistic, warm, and thoughtfully put together. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the menu immediately stood out — especially their experimental coffee list, which feels genuinely creative rather than gimmicky. I tried the Harvest and Osmanthus from the experimental menu. Both were distinct and layered in flavor. The Osmanthus in particular had a burst of notes that unfolded in stages — almost too many to register at once, but in a good, exploratory way. One was espresso-based and the other cold brew-based, and I appreciated how differently they were constructed. For food, I ordered the Mushroom & Brie and the Matcha Yuzu Basque. The Mushroom & Brie was excellent — the flavors were rich and balanced, though I would have preferred the bread to be a touch crispier. The Matcha Yuzu Basque was surprisingly impressive; I wasn’t expecting their bakery items to shine this much, but it was well executed with a clean matcha flavor lifted by the yuzu. Overall, Three Dots Coffee Lab is a great spot if you’re looking to try something beyond the usual coffee shop offerings. Thoughtful, experimental, and well executed. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu.

The store is a lovely, airy space. They are actually quite spacious for a coffee shop but also very popular on weekends, so seating can be hard to find. They introduce unique seasonal drinks, and they currently have 3 unique cold brews that center around the theme of harvest for fall. I tried the osmanthus infused cold brew and it was so smooth and light! You can taste the coffee as you get closer to the bottom but the osmanthus fragrance is very evident when you first sip the drink. The matcha latte is also very yummy. The matcha flavor is strong but not too bitter. Highly recommend! They also have a selection of unique coffees that you can choose for pour over but it can be quite pricey.

Very interesting cafe, with mostly coffee products but they offer 3 non-coffee drinks (Jasmine tea or matcha). It was super packed on a Sunday afternoon and I can see why. The drinks were actually really good, not just gimmicky. They use their own unique Jasmine tea blend so it's not your basic Jasmine. Both the osmanthus coffee and moon coffee did really have all the flavour notes they say on the info card, and even if you don't like coffee, you might enjoy these like I did. The interior is also quite beautiful and reminds me of Coffee Lunar, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming.

☕ Three Dots Coffee Lab did not disappoint. I tried their Golden Equinox series, and each drink had its own unique character and flavour balance. 🌾 Harvest – My favourite of the three. It had a really nice creaminess that blended perfectly with the espresso, milk, and sea salt. Comforting, rich, and smooth definitely the standout. 🌕 Moon – A lighter and more delicate drink with pear being the highlight note. It leaned more toward a fruity, juice like cold brew rather than a strong coffee, but still very refreshing. 🌸 Osmanthus – Floral and fragrant, with hints of preserved plum and apricot notes that you will taste. Like Moon, it had that softer cold brew profile that felt more tea forward than coffee heavy, but it worked beautifully. Overall, all three drinks were great, visually stunning, thoughtfully crafted, and distinct in flavour. Three Dots Coffee Lab continues to push creative boundaries in the Toronto coffee scene, and it’s absolutely worth a visit if you love trying innovative drinks.

Tasty Drinks, but Probably Not for Coffee Purists as advertised on social media Had the cold brew. It tasted good and I think is a great drink for anyone who doesn't have a keen focus on pure coffee as it was quite light and sweet. Probably not something a coffee purist would love. They also do not make Americanos. Similar with the Jasmine Matcha Latte, the taste was good and it was quite creamy and sweet. Not overly matcha forward, if that is your preference. Layout is strange - order pickup is at the back of the shop. You have to walk past the tables to get your drinks and the baristas have to yell order numbers to the front of the Cafe. That's my main gripe. Also the tables to the side are taken up by people camping there on their laptops sometimes. It is pretty inside though and I love the concept of sitting at the bar.

I’m not a coffee drinker but I would go back for their coffee concoctions that are cold brew based!! They definitely deliver the flavor profiles described in each drink. I tried the osmanthus which was fruity and fragrant and the harvest which was very creamy and smooth on the palate. If you’re into gourmet coffee drinks this is the place for you. I also tried their mocha cloud which is a very buttery and flaky croissant-ish! Whoever the baker is, gotta give it to them for this specific pastry!! I wanted to try more stuff but they ran out since it was very near closing time. I deducted 1 star for their service because they pretty much shooed us out on the dot at 5pm and served us in togo cups even though we had 20 mins to closing which I felt like was a bit much. I am mindful of the fact that people want to be home post work and I would have anyways left knowing their closing them, without having for them to spell it out so outrightly! That being said I will definitely go back here to try other coffee and pastries!!

nice coffee shop with very unique and experimental drinks. they offer coffee and matcha lattes as well, but the seasonal menu was quite nice. Interiors are very nice as well. It’s a nice third space to relax and chat with friends. Good amount of seating but it fills up quickly. It’s on the pricey side, but I would return.

Three Dots Coffee Lab is such a gem! Their coffee has a unique character you won’t find elsewhere, and the space is beautifully designed with great taste. The staff are warm, polite, and make you feel genuinely welcome. I especially recommend their signature drink, 15 Minutes Before Showtime – it has this incredible, one-of-a-kind flavor that tastes just like caramel popcorn. Absolutely worth a try for everyone!

Three Dots is a new third-wave coffee shop at College and Ossington that was strongly recommended by a friend. They take their coffee hella seriously; they have a coffee-smelling station set up near the entrance with descriptions of tasting notes and origins pointed out. The coffee itself is DELICIOUS. I ordered their Cold Brew, and it's one of the best I've ever had. It took some time to get my glass of coffee (I went on a Saturday morning when it was quite busy) and paid more than $6 for it, but it was absolutely worth it. Super flavourful and heavily considered; you can taste EVERYTHING. The next time you're in the area, drop by! There's plenty of seating room in the coffee shop, and the aesthetic is serene, minimalistic, and clean. I can see myself settling down here to get some deep work done when it's (hopefully) less busy.

Three Dots Coffee Lab located along College St. near Ossington Ave is a new coffee shop that recently opened this weekend! The space is minimalistic with concrete and light wood touches throughout. The menu is simple, espresso based drinks, pourovers, as well as tea lattes. There are several tables as well as a seating area up front for you to enjoy your coffee, work, or hang out with friends. I stopped by Three Dots Coffee on their second day during their soft opening. Service was friendly and I could tell that the owners and staff were serious about their coffee (I could sense quite knowledgeable too!). I studied the menu and opted to do a pourover with beans from Ethiopia. The unique thing is that the pourovers can be made iced where they just account for ice to make sure that your cup of coffee isn't watered down or lose it's flavour. Staff were nice enough to also bring me my coffee to where I was sitting. Service was friendly, and neighbours from the area were curious about trying the new cafe. During my time there, there were people from around the neighbourhood and staff were quick to give suggestions as well as engage with them. Drinking my iced pourover, I felt relaxed in this calm atmosphere. Overall, great new addition to the College/Ossington area! Can't wait to return.

Great ambiance, very open and minimalist. A good place to lock in and get some work done. I got the matcha latte and the cappuccino and it was very good. The cups were very aesthetically pleasing and the match was divine. They used a lot of matcha and the colour was very green. Just how I like it. I got the Brie and mushroom pastry and my partner got the raspberry pistachio pastry, they were both very good. The only reason it is a 4 instead of a 5 is because they brought out the coffee and pastries like 5 minutes earlier than the matcha which I didn't love. They also got my order wrong so I had to wait a bit longer but it's okay, because it was very good and worth the wait.

Amazing decor, simplicity to the core!! They do not have brew coffee as they focus on espresso based drinks. I had an Americano which was perfectly made - flavour, temperature and water content. Also had a croissant, it was crispy and tasteful. The service was amazing too.
