Wallace Espresso

Wallace Espresso is a teeny hole in the wall establishment just east of Stanley Park in downtown Toronto. They have high quality java options here and a small set of eats that are great. The service was very kind and helpful! The space is pretty basic. White walls. But the windows at the front in a bay setting offer a lot of light into the space! 5 x ☕☕☕☕☕

Decent and fairly priced drinks - very smooth, good depth in flavour. Drinks were served very quickly. Good amount of seating despite the small space. Although there wasn’t London Fog on the menu explicitly, I was able to request for it, and the barista at front was able to make it (and a good one, at that!). Definitely worth a stop if you’re passing by.

Such a cute little dainty coffee shop on King West. I ordered an iced latte with regular milk and also a ginger molasse cookie. The cookie was made fresh! Both items were better than what you can get at Starbucks. Would totally come back to support this local shop! Also, there’s free Wifi so if you want to work remotely here, you have seating inside with lots of natural lighting!

My everyday go-to place for coffee. The latte is always consistent in taste, temperature and roasting which is very calming for me as it’s literally my treat before heading to work. Their breakfast sandwiches with hot sauce are to die for! Robbie does an excellent job with the playlist curation. I wish I had more time to actually visit for a sit-down.

This place has a bowl of dog treats (As soon as you walk in) however, they don't allow dogs to be in the cafe. I was with a group of 5 people, we have a very small dog. The worker told us "my boss doesn't like dogs in the cafe". So we left and went to the cafe next door. This is 2024, you better allow dogs moving forward or else your business will suffer, unnacceptable. ZERO STAR!

Cozy and peaceful atmosphere with healthy plants, Barista is friendly, Blackbird pastries and a good coffee…. I loved here totally!!!! I had a lemon loaf and flat white. The flat white was nice! Beautiful latte art on the cup and mixing well between milk and espresso.

Lovely coffee shop with a very professional and friendly barista. I tried their iced cappuccino, almond croissant, and carrot cake (bread). The cappuccino was amazing and I liked the croissant better than the carrot cake even though it wasn’t that fresh. Both of the pastries had a strong cinnamon flavor which I liked but might be overpowering if you’re not a big fan of it.

A charming vibe, perfect for a coffee catch-up with a friend. It strikes a balance between being cozy for takeaways and offering a nice seating area. The coffee was downright delicious, and we couldn't resist trying the hot apple cider which they offer atm - super yummy. They also have a selection of pastries to complement your drinks. The very proffesional and friendly barista added a welcoming touch to the overall experience. Highly recommend!

Cozy cafe located on King street. The space is small but tables seemed sufficient. Good for spending time while reading, working on a laptop. Flat white was nice, I could feel the depth in flavour. Also loved the latte art on top. Would like to comeback.

Great coffee and cute little shop. We were walking on King street and decided to stop in. Quick and polite service. We got a large black americano and an iced latte with oat milk. There are two tables outside, a bench, and seating inside. Great espresso, and latte! We'll be back for sure!

Cozy, bright and airy space with outdoor sidewalk seating in the summer. I was there on the weekend where there was one only one barista which creates the potential for long lineups in a small space. Fortunately only one person in front of me but a lineup started after. I think total crunch seating capacity is around 15 people on mostly bench seating. It's not a space that lends itself to working on a laptop, more of grab n go or max drink your coffee and go. Didn't try the WiFi. I arrived a couple hours after opening and the pastry selection was limited (5 items on the counter). Barista was pleasant but got my simple order wrong. Overall, it's a nice place to sit and have a coffee. It seems like a good off hours place to sit and have a coffee.

Been going here for coffee for years! The location is great and within walking distance from where I live and they have tons of street parking. The king location is also easily accessible by street car. The coffee is amazing plus they carry their own sweet treats plus some treats from black bird baking too. There is indoor seating and weather cooperating they have some outdoor seating too. Also did I mention I love their breakfast sandwiches? I usually go for the bacon egg sandwich. And yes there is a vegetarian option with red pepper. (Pro tip: ask to get it with hot sauce).

Friendly service. Cute, cozy cafe with a bay window. Beans are from Reunion Island and Social. Not my favourite. Croissants are made once a day. It was pretty busy for such a small space. Located beside those dog spa stores across from Stanley Park. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

Stark minimalist café great for people watching if you're seated facing the window. Fourth location, original is at Lansdowne/Wallace. Baked goods from Pain Perdu. Yum! Will revisit soon
