2011 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4S 1Z8, Canada
A lovely spot with nearly everything you could want in a cafe. Service is efficient and warm, and classical music plays softly in the background. This is a great option for a cafe lunch. The sandwiches are so good, I crave them, along with the side salads (fresh ginger dressing!). Both coffee and tea drinks are just perfect, and a special note that they have a more extensive drink list for non-coffee drinkers too. The sweets have been ‘just ok’, but I noticed they have had some different options lately. Their chocolate chip cookie is an upgrade from their previous recipe and I’m excited that they’re focusing on improving these offerings.
Great little coffee spot! The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the staff ( met owner as well) is friendly and welcoming. They make a really solid cappuccino—smooth and balanced, with just the right amount of foam. You can tell they care about quality. Tried flavourful chicken sandwich alongside and it was delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Went for a late coffee on a weekend. On Yonge street but it is not noisy. It has a patio and has plenty of space and good food and coffee. Hope they do a deep clean of their couches. The handles of the couches made us get up and choose metal chairs instead but otherwise definitely a place we would come back to.
I just had lunch at Tabule on Saturday. Then my friends and I dropped by for some lattes and sweets. And wow, that was the best Chai tea latte that I could remember ever having. It looked and tasted out of this world 🌎!!! My party’s drinks consisted of coffee lattes were exceptional as well. The desserts of marble banana bread, cookies and croissants were delish. The service was amazing 🤩. They get 5 stars all day long. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the “ Central Petk “ from “ Friends “… RIP Matthew Perry and Cheers where everybody knows your name 😀. A great place to chill out and enjoy great drinks and food. What could be better? It is a local business and they are the lifeblood of our economy. Do please 🙏 continue to support them. Happy eats everyone 😎
Rachel’s Coffeehouse has a fantastic environment, delicious coffee, a lovely staff, and a respectful owner. If you want a cozy place to chill and enjoy your time in an excellent environment, here is the one.
Came here for a coffee in the morning and the place is really cute. I had a cappuccino and it was tasty. Tip: If you want to enjoy your coffee at the place, make sure you mention that when you order so you don’t get your coffee in a paper cup
Stopped by for a coffee and sandwich. The sandwich was unique - smoked salmon, avocado, sliced mango....very tasty. Served on toasted whole grain bread. Came with a side salad. I had a latte, which was delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Seating was fine - not a huge place but there were seats available. Price was reasonable. Just for the coffee alone I would go back!
The croissants were superb. So was the scone. Met a lovely couple who were Rachel's parents. They were Friendly and didn't want a tip. Wish I had taken pictures, just a decently run family cafe. Outside seating is dog friendly although I didn't see a dog watering bowl. The sparrows will eat out of your hand though.
No.
Favorite spot!
Adorable cafe! Esthetic is beautiful, delicious almond latte, also had the pesto chicken sandwich...the ginger salad dressing is so yummy. Great space for a work meeting or doing some work too.
Great place! Reasonable prices, china mugs, super-friendly, comfortable atmosphere
Best customer service in midtown Toronto.
The best coffee shop in midtown! Well priced, bakery items are always fresh and perfectly baked. Croissants are executed particularly well. Dirty matcha is well worth trying if you like macha and coffee.
Its a small but cute coffeehouse. Chai latte was so good.
This is my to go place for morning coffee when I am in the area!! Amazing coffee, I usually take americano with splash of cream, they make it just perfect!! Also croissants are fresh and delicious!!! Staff is super friendly!!!
Rachels is the go to place for us to get coffee and breakfast almost every Saturday or Sunday. The Grilled Vegetable Ciabatta with Honey Dijon Mustard dressing is our favorite. The caramel latte that we usually get is even better than Starbucks. The staff here is excellent, especially one gentleman who is usually there in the mornings on weekends and is ever so polite. Rachel, who is usually there these days, gives everyone a warm welcome with a big smile and greetings.
Just had coffee, sit outside and people watch
I can t decide if the service is better than the coffee or not, but I can say they make the best Dirty Chai I ve ever had.
We visit this coffee shop often. The staff are very nice and welcoming. The sandwiches are delicious, and the drinks are great too. Service - nice! Atmosphere - great! Sandwiches- always tasty and fresh! Pastries - probably need to try more options
Local coffee place.. another brewed hot drinks.. Nice company great service dog friendly nice patio a gem on Yonge Street in midtown.
I ve been to this place probably 15+ times over the past year. Even though I don t live in the area, I keep coming back because the food here is so gooooood! And there are not only sweet options like in most other coffee shops. I love that each sandwich comes with a small side salad, which makes it an even more filling and balanced meal
NOT wheelchair accessible. It says here it is, but I confirmed by calling today it is NOT wheelchair accessible or disability friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: It is not wheelchair/mobility aid accessible.
Double Espresso (short) Texture: 4.0 Aroma: 8.8 Flavour: 6.3 Balance: 7.1 Tasting Notes: Charcoal, lime, pecan cookies Final Score: 6.5/10
Sat down here for a quick iced Americano while I was in the area. Good, simple and straightforward spot for coffee. Staff is friendly.
Rude customer service.
Great place for a coffee. However Ive was thrown off by the ad for IUD called Kyleena on the cups! Kid-friendliness: Limited space inside
Whether its the quality of the food, the taste, the cleanliness of the place, or the outstanding service. I am simply amazed
Best neighbourhood coffee house bar none! I lm never going back to Starbucks.
Great place to meet with friends and have great coffee, excellent service and friendly staff. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere.
Their staff were very nice and welcoming. The sandwiches were delicious and drinks were great too. This review below is for other people who are planning to visit so more people are aware of some of their regular customers here. There were white grannies who seem to come here often during weekends. So if you are colored race be aware. I was brunching with a friend yesterday and there was already a white grandma sitting by the window and we sat one seat away from her. But she gave a racist look as soon as we sat down and started shaking her head. Clicking her tongue as well. Did we do sth?i was so confused. I tried very much to think that her reactions werent towards us. But it was too obvious to ignore. I started feeling uncomfortable. Then another white granny came in and she sat beside us then right away staired at us, shaking head and giving racial look. She even moved her sit short after. I couldnt believe what was happening. We werent loud either. We were just talking with quiet voice. I only saw and heard those racism stairs and discrimination online. I was really mad but also scared to say sth back to them. i wish my husband was there with us coz he would hv said sth back. I wish i had more courage to say sth back to those white grannies. The entire visit was super uncomfortable and all i could do was to stair back :(((( im still so angry i couldnt hv said anything back to them ugh!!!! Be aware of them on the weekeneds!
Nice stuff! Cosy atmosphere Amazing coffee Food
Ive only ever had the avocado toast to eat here before, and I love it. I come here to work often when Im sick of working from home and this is my favorite cafe to go to. The free wifi is very good. Its usually full in the mornings to sit, but towards the afternoon, it empties up more. The staff are wonderful. So friendly. I just wish they had told me about the loyalty rowards card they have. I only found out about it (after so many times of coming here for coffee) from seeing a customer ordering before me use it. My favorite drink to get is the matcha latte.
Very friendly cafe, I got some tea and a banana very quick, in and out on a very cold day. The service was great and the staff was nice. Inside is on the smaller side but there is seating. My chai was pretty good as well.
I love the food there, the owners Benham and Daria are also super friendly! Local GEM family business.
My wife and I had been looking forward to trying this coffee place and finally got the chance last week. We arrived at around 4:30 PM, knowing they close at 5 PM, and planned to order takeout. However, the staff (lady with the short hair) at the counter seemed annoyed that we came in so close to closing time. What irked me was their unfriendly attitude, despite there being half an hour left before closing. Will not be returning to this place!
Great coffee. Nice ambience.. gives hood vibes with well lit interiors
I think they don t serve fresh orange juice anymore squeezed on the spot.
I have been coming to Rachels for many years, and loved the friendly service and delicious coffee. Unfortunately, when the owners are not there, the service is absolutely terrible. I was there recently and the man and the woman with the short hair were talking and when I was in the middle of ordering, they went back to talking before I had finished. In that same visit, I had finished my coffee and was bringing the ceramic mug back to the counter for them. Before I put it down, the woman started snapping her fingers and making hissing noises at me, trying to indicate that I should hand the cup to her. I was honestly shocked by the rudeness! I will say that when the owners (Mr and Mrs Chan) are there, they are always very warm and friendly. However, the staff are terrible and I always have a bad experience when its only the staff there. I am leaving this review in the hopes that the owners will see it and either hire new staff or provide the existing staff with some customer service training.
This place has chill and simple feel to it. The sandwiches and salads are delicious! The drinks are perfectly crafted. The server and counter ppl were extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I love this place with our child. Dietary restrictions: They can customize your order
Update the hours or at least let the customers know you are closing early before ordering. I think its the right thing to do.
Best chocolate chip cookie, the most welcoming service, and a true community atmosphere. Love it here.
This is the place you go to when you dont actually know coffee or pastries. With hot black down the street, Hale and social blend just north, and better pastries att Circles and Squares, I cant imagine why anyone still comes here.
Came here on a 25 minute drive to try it out and found it closed. Odd.
Does this store discriminate and or have favourites? I work in the area and I am an occasional customer at this store. Today, at about 2:09, I walked into the store and was immediately acknowledged by the gentleman behind the counter we are closed I walked out. I observed a gentleman go in after me and was served. I went back in to inquire why the gentleman was served and I was not. I was told he ordered coffee. I said did you ask me what I wanted? He said I m sorry Extremely disappointed, will not return and will discourage people I know from going.
Americano and croissant were delish! Space was super clean and service so friendly! I m
Great atmosphere, excellent coffee, simple menu that is always fresh and baked goods are delicious. Highly recommend.
Little gem in midtown. Dirty chai is my go-to Food
I love you ve coffee places like this one. Chill ambiance, great coffe...what else can you ask for! Well, this place also happens to have amazing lemonade, and all sorts of tasty drink flavors to try
Such a great local coffee shop. Their coffee is always top notch and highly affordable. A Daviseville staple.
Great coffee and great atmosphere
Great coffee, special service, amazing atmosphere
Great cappucino, baked goods etc. cozy and comfortable. ***Still my favourite coffeehouse Recommended dishes
Great people, great food, pleasant atmosphere.
Perfect like nice staff
Cute place, AWESOME SERVICE! I havent had anything I didnt like here. Local places, great folks. Love this place
Amazing sandwiches and drinks! Great spot to spend your afternoon!
Best local coffeeshop I ve been in city nice staff and atmosphere love ice-coffee and sandwiches specially smoked salmon, I totally recommend it.
It s an incredible place friendly staff, amazing ambiance and fresh foods of course . Try Smoked Salmon Sandwich and you will never pass by the cafe and not going in Food
I decided to stop by to grab a drink. I got the chai latte which was good and a butter croissant. Service was great. Will come back
Are you looking for a good place to read you favorite book?! This is the place. And honestly, I tried the latte!!! It was phenomenal.
Lovely coffee, great sweets and service with a friendly smile. A nice way to start the day.
Love the place
Mango, avocado, and salmon was not a combination I knew I needed.
Always a great time whenever we come here. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. All of the dishes we ordered were fresh, hot, and delicious. Drinks were great too. The staff was also very nice and friendly. I would 100% recommend and return!
I love this coffee spot! They are always so friendly and nice, even when my friend and I came with our two baby strollers and they helped us in the store. The avocado toast is great! I also like their chai tea lattes and ask for them a bit less sweet. The staff are so friendly and sweet! Love the owner.
Rude staff without considerations for diets and allergies
Ordered a strawberry matcha latte, wasnt satisfactory at all. Full of syrup and artificial taste. It lacked quality and authenticity expected from a boutique coffeehouse. Not worth the spend. For a better strawberry matcha latte, icha tea takes the spot.
Super delicious matcha late and pesto chicken club
I ve tried green vegetables and pesto chicken sandwiches. Broooo that was amazing. I ll take it again for sure. Bless you guys
I had a cappuccino, and it was overall disappointing. I wouldnt go back.
The coffee was amazing! Good service and polite staff! Food
There are so many coffee spots in Toronto, and thank goodness for that!... but Rachels is a gem. The coffee is excellent, the service is amazing, and the price for a quality brew is spot on! And if you need a snack or a mid day meal, they have it covered with some unique and tasty options. Rachels is one of the things that makes mid-town so great.
I found this hidden gem by accident one day when I was out for a walk and I fell in love. I ordered the lavender latte and it was one of the best lattes I ve had in a very long time. The cafe is small and cute with delicious coffee. I intend to try more of the menu. New favourite coffee shop in the city. Worth the longer travel time to get here. Highly recommend.
Grabbed a quick latte to go, it was piping hot even after 15minutes of waiting for it to cool down Also the interior is stuffy, surprised they had people and that this so eh oh w has 4.5 stars. A keurig could make a better latte
Terrible coffee! I got a small Americano and I couldn t drink it as it was tested like hot water. Wont recommend their coffee to anyone.
This is my favorite café! I am originally from Germany, living here in Toronto. Service is amazing, so kind and friendly. They do the extra mile, if you need a charger for your laptop. ;) The food is so good, especially the sandwiches and the chai latté. I can recommend with all my heart.
Great and cozy coffee house! Highly recommend! Food
Amazing coffee in a warm and friendly plce.
The warp and coffee are good. But they said we can sitting only one hour but there are already people sitting more than one hour i think because of we using ipad? And if they have that rule, they should ve tell me before i order or notice first. The food and drink was good so i felt wonderful but they didn t give me time for even i can finish coffee. I don t think we are come back again.
Was so glad I stumbled upon Rachel s Coffeehouse after stopping by La Salumeria (which is two stores down from here), and was greeted so kindly by the barista at the front. They were very lovely to chat with while I waited for my iced latte. There s plenty amount of seats (very comfy) to relax and enjoy your coffee, and I saw a large selection of their food which I will definitely try next time. This place really reminds me of the friendly-neighbourhood cafes that are so inviting, very classic and cozy. Never too busy so getting work done here or hanging out with a friend is welcomed. As Toronto evolves its cafe culture towards aesthetics and minimalism, it s refreshing to find a gem of a cafe that has a little something for everyone on their menu and enough space to dine-in.
I tried their Americano coffee and It wasnt that good. A 3/5 for the quality of their coffee, but the ambiance is really nice.
Great Staff Friendly Home made treats made by Owner Maria ..Great Coffee and Unique Organic Food and Drinks Love this Place
Great coffee shop in the midtown. They have decent selection of baked goods and cheese cake slices. Very friendly staff. Can t wait for them to go back to pre-covid hours
Although slightly more expensive then your average coffee shop, you certainly get what you pay for. Good products, great service, and a wide variety of options. Just a shame they close so early!
This place is amazing. All organic. Very nice vibe. The coffees, sandwiches and croissants are delicious. Very courteous folks too.
Great coffee and food to match! The peameal BLT was a great option for breakfast
The coffee house of the neighbourhood. Very friendly attendants, good coffee and sandwiches.
Good coffee Good food And good everything else
A civilized oasis with comfortable chairs and classical music to boot! A great place for meeting your friends.
Coffee quality with milk could be way better (latte and cappuccino), since this is a coffeehouse
As someone who just came back from Paris, this croissant did not disappoint me. It is the best in the neighborhood. The cinnamon rolls my husband ordered were also of great quality!
Best coffee shop in the city, croissants and apple crumble cake are delicious!
A very nice neighborhood coffee place. Fresh organic coffee and pastries. Very clean.
Great coffee! Staff are friendly and attentive. The only cafe close to my home that is comfy enough to read a book. Thanks guys!
Best coffee house in midtown! Staff are very friendly and courteous to customers and their dogs, Mr. Bojangles drags me to Rachels on his morning walk. Coffee and croissants are superb. Its clearly very popular and will need to expand.
Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, and excellent food. Ill definitely visit again!
Great coffee place on Yonge street. If you are a latte lover, this place is worth every penny. It is a great respite to latte lovers like me, that love sipping a hot cup of coffee from an actual cup and not paper cups . Places like these are far and few in Yonge Eglinton. The owners are so kind and courteous. Also serve great sandwiches with side salad - a perfect brunch to have on a weekend!
Really wonderful little neighbourhood place. Great coffee and pastry. Service is always amazing!
My local coffee shop. Love it.
Fresh food, coffee
Been coming here for years! Great food/drinks and such friendly staff
It s nice, clean and homey but I feel like someone should have mentioned there s no wifi. Not a great place to work because no wifi offered, or outlets for computers fyi
Wonderful people, wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food! First place I will go when everything goes back to normal!
Nice coffee and drinks
Amazing coffee
Amazing coffeeshop! I loved everything, especially the friendly staff!
My friend, Trish, told me about this coffee shop. Finally I got the BLT sandwich and chicken club sandwiches, plus dirty Chai latte. Love it! Two thumbs up!
Fantastic coffee and the best tuna sandwich around
Lovely neighborhood spot! Great coffee and baked goods, cute patio.
One of the few places in Davisville that has good seating options inside and out to enjoy your coffee or meet up with a friend. Great pastries and they offer to heat up your baked good to make it even tastier!
Nice place. Excellent service and great croissants. Delicious cappuccino. Worth the visit.
The coffee is good and the service is always very friendly. The place is always spotless and clean.
They are the best on yonge,fantastic service always Happy
My ham croissant sandwich was literally a toasted croissant and 1 slice of ham one!! and it was pricey (their written sign indicated prices were increased due to inflation). 4 stars because the place looked cozy and the barista was very nice.
Service was great and cappuccino was good just not as strong as I typically would like it. Great places to sit outside and inside to enjoy coffee or tea latte.
Great place for weekend breakfast. Their croissants are very delicious and latte is great too. The staff is always very friendly. Highly recommended!
Cozy cafe with nice decor! Tried the cinnamon bun and almond latte and both were incredible. They also have dairy-free milk options.
Local coffee shop .. with great drinks and snacks!
Love the atmosphere and Good service
Average food and washroom out of order.
Perfect place to start your day, the staff were awesome and loved my Ginger Chai with cheese Crossiant sandwich.
The best little coffee shop in Midtown. Rachel s is a treasure!
Cozy coffee shop with great service and stellar restroom. Mocha was fantastic and hit the spot. If youre in the area, go check it out. You wont be disappointed.
Honestly and by far the best cafe to be found near Young and Eglinton, and indeed the whole of Toronto! Their cookies are sublime beyond words, and I buy between 1 and 5 of their enormous cookies almost every week. Im known for even sneaking out of work in the middle of the day just to get a hold of one of those cookies! All their food is good, and the meal I would recommend would be a large dark coffee, egg croissant, and a side of one or two of their cookies. Definately come and eat here!
Best hand pressed coffee though little expensive.
Clean cozy ..good coffee. Cheesecake factory cakes...Not a large space but no problem to find comfortable soft chairs to relax in.
Cozy spot for light sandwiches that come with a small salad. Also have good coffee.
Great atmosphere and baked goods
The staff is amazingly kind. The service was amazing. The macadamia latte is delicious.
Nice place but I asked for one latte with almond milk...not almond milk def!!!!! Thanks, I m lactose intolerant
Its nice to see an independent have some success.
Very friendly, extremely clean and the best coffee I ve had in a long time !
Best croissant in Toronto; tastes like quality ones from Paris. Friendly, quick service.
Best croissants in town! Great service, very clean and a good amount of options to choose from.
I go out of my way for their iced vanilla latte
Very good coffee shop in mid town but very busy so seating can be a problem.
Wonderful lunches and tea/coffee foods. I love the decaf. Americanos and the very warm welcome everyone gets.
Good neighbourhood coffee shop - cinnamon buns are delicious!
Such great coffee and sandwiches! Loved the cappuccino with dry foam- perfect! Service was also great. Thanks Yuki and Gina!
Food and drinks are delicious and the staff is always so pleasant. Great atmosphere!
Great coffee, very friendly staff, healthy food options as well as Cheesecake Factory cakes. Cozy atmosphere. Food is a bit on the pricey side, though.
The prices are really affordable and the food tastes delicious! The clerks are also really friendly and its always a pleasure to come back for a cold coffee, a cheesecake or a gigantic cookie.
What a cute coffee house! Nice atmosphere. Coffee was good and the butter tarts were so yummy! If I lived in the city, Id be a regular.
This is one of my favourite spots when in Toronto if I want a quiet comfortable place to relax, do a little work on their WiFi, and enjoy some great food and coffee.
Great little coffee shop but limited non-dairy options
The experience wasnt great. Maybe a server having a bad day? The server wasnt happy to heat coffe or give any excuses for a extremely sweet coffee that my friend couldnt drink and had to return, no exchange or refund for it.. Food wasnt great, cake too sweet for my taste.
Cute coffee shop.
Cute little local coffee shop with some baked goods, sandwiches, and salads. I have not tried their foods but I do quite enjoy their flavoured lattes. The flavours taste genuine and homemade (almond and caramel are my favourites!). The espressos are just ok unfortunately.
The staff was so nice. It is the perfect place to be if you want to write, read or just want time for yourself and drink you good cup of coffee
Great little coffee shop!! If you want to shop local and support hard working owners this is the place!! They are wonderful
Beautiful cozy coffee house with a great selection of food as well!
Oh so good! Fresh & delightful
Pleasant service. Tasty goodies!
Amazing fresh made Danish! Highly recommend.
Best coffeehouse in midtown Toronto bar none, based on wide selection of food and coffee, overall cleanliness and friendly, attentive staff.
Rachels is a neighborhood gem that serves delicious cakes and pastries and wonderful hot coffees. As an added bonus check out the modern washrooms downstairs...for a coffee shop their washrooms are immaculate.
