Toslow

Toslow is my go-to for a vegan breakfast and the hands-down best coffee I've had in St John's. The groovy vibe of local crowd hangout, Nanny's basement, and childhood summers at the cabin makes this place cool and inviting. The location on Duckworth Street, the harbour views from the upstairs picture window, and the gracious and engaging staff make this place, for me at least, a must-stop when in St. John's. And carnivores rest easy, the menu has you covered. We had the vegan Griddle sandwich made from scrambled tofu and vegan sausage and cheese, wholly caramelized in maple syrup. And the BLT on housemade focaccia. And, you guessed it, the BEST coffee! Five stars all around.

Stopped in for a vanilla latte and a flat white, and ended up getting a full-on coffee education from the barista — who was equal parts skilled and entertaining. Honestly, I think I learned more about beans and milk textures in five minutes than I did in four years of school. We took our drinks upstairs, where the vibe is cozy, a little old-soul, and the kind of place you could easily “accidentally” spend an afternoon in. The coffee was excellent, the atmosphere even better — and if I could hire that barista as my personal coffee tutor, I’d never touch a drip machine again. Highly recommend for anyone who likes their caffeine with a side of character.

The “Three Chocolates” cake was absolutely delicious! Perfect balance of flavors, rich but not too sweet, and the texture was so smooth and creamy. Beautifully decorated too — you can really taste the love and skill that went into it. Everyone loved it!

Went this morning as it was near the hotel. The music and environment was perfect. Coffee was excellent. Dirty chai was actually made with tea and perfect espresso. Exceptional overall experience. I was originally just getting coffees to go but decided to stay and read a bit.

Very sweet staff, great cappuccino and cortado’s. The cookies are fresh and gooey 🤤 . Bring your own mug and get a discount. Free wifi and sunny window seats. More tables available upstairs. They sell beans and merch and local wine!

The espresso coffee was very sour and I couldn't finish it byonde the first sip. The place was not very clean, and the service was rather slow. They have a nice view, though, and a nice selection of vegan/ vegetarian food that I did not try.

Beautiful cafe with excellent food and coffee. The weekend brunch breakfast sandwich is INCREDIBLE. I thought about it for days afterwards. I also tried the weekday breakfast wrap which was great, but nothing will compare. The baristas know what they’re doing and the coffee is great. Contrary to what some other reviews say, I found there was plenty of seating across the main and upper floors. It would be great if management updated cafe hours on holidays!

I've frequented toslow so so many times and it has always remained the absolute best. one of my favorite spots in town, i always make sure to try their delicious baked goods, yummy breakfast sandwiches, and their exquisite drink choices!! the staff are so so friendly and welcoming, almost feels like you're being welcomed at home. great place for vegan options!!!!!!
