Coffee is top-notch and the service is excellent. I used to work nearby and would visit versus from time to time. I had never once had a bad experience. The attention to detail when it comes to espresso based drinks is superb. I would order short double shots and they never disappointed once. Staff is very warm, friendly, and down to earth. One of the best cafes in Toronto.
Very friendly stuff, decent coffee, nice patio. My friend tried to complain to me about her machiato because it had too much milk..but when she tried it she actually liked it.
My matcha latte was served Luke warm. But it did taste ok
2020.09.14. Today morning walk was to "Versus Coffee" on Adelaide Street. I had a drip coffee (for a change). It was a good coffee. They have a nice seating outside on the patio. They serve breakfast, sandwiches, and drinks (beer and wine). A great variety. Today was sunny and warm 17 degrees and the walk was great.
Great coffee and nice patio.
Delicious and they make fresh croissants ! Amazing teas as well
Today I went in to order myself and my sister a vanilla latte. My sister waited outside while I ordered as she is a respiratory intensive care nurse (but one in dire need of a good coffee). I was absolutely blown away not only by the delicious coffee and coffee knowledge, but the incredible human being working behind the counter. Not only was he incredibly upbeat, funny and enthusiastic about the coffee, he was personable while maintaining professionalism and lit the whole store up with his positive energy. I have managed international teams in retail across the globe and this employee deserves a serious thanks in these trying times. SO refreshing considering the difficult climate! Absolutely get your coffee here and support this business.
friendly service with good coffee
I would have given it a higher review as the coffee is good and it's a cute little spot. It would have been nice if the baristas did not vape in front of the patio and blow their smoke into all the patrons' faces. Why?!
Clean, cute little space. Very friendly service and pleasant atmosphere to meet up for a drink. Menu items perfect for the IG posts
Lush lattes. Fresh baked croissants and pains au chocolats. Friendly if not a bit sarcastically dry staff dole out some seriously good caffeinated beverages. Ample patio space on Adelaide street. Evidently the locals’ favorite and while a bit of a walk from our ‘hood (Distillery) I’ll be making the trek when I can. Recommended.
Excellent cappuccino! Bright and modern atmosphere. Very friendly staff! They also have lunch options.
Great coffee. Nice cozy place.
Loved the coffee, it reminds me of European cafes.
A nice little cafe with excellent staff and great customer service !!
Great coffee and a nice location. Outdoor patio for the summer.
Absolutely love this spot. It’s always good & the staff is friendly and efficient. Their avocado toasts never disappoint and I went for the breakfast sandwich this time and it was fresh to order & delicious! Coffee is slightly overpriced but that’s Toronto for you! Highly recommend and cute little patio to boot.
The coffee here was really outstanding and worth the price. Staff is super polite and soft spoken.Had a lovely time here and thanks specially to Mini for attending and helping us in ordering.
Got an iced latte which was great as it is not as sweet.
Cute coffee shop, good for sitting down and studying! Would def come again to work
(Translated) It is a shop that calms down. I had a lot of drinks with colorful latte art on the Instagram, so I'd love to go again. (Original) 落ち着くお店です。インスタグラムではカラフルなラテアートが施されている飲み物がたくさんあったので、また行ってみたいです。
The cafe is small and cute with limited seating. It has outdoor seating as well as multiple levels of seating. The cashier and servers were really nice. The latte I ordered had coloring to it which was very pretty and adds a touch or personalization. It is a nice place to relax and enjoy a cup of fine espresso.
Amazing coffee and food, very friendly staff, and a comfy modern atmosphere.
Outstanding coffee and a very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
The avocado toast was a thing of beauty!
Gorgeous shop with an awesome seating area. The staff is very pleasant, and each drink comes out perfect. A special thanks to the owners for always being present and ensuring that the quality and service is always at a high level.
Small place with simple interior design guarantees a cozy atmosphere. Good coffee, food just ok.
I love this place. Great and delicious coffee based drinks. I love their sweet drinks, ironically because they are not too sweet
Amazing coffee and great friendly owners! On top of coffee they do matcha lattes and great teas and toasts. Also a great place to get some work done with the free wifi!
nice little place, good good for a coffee shop
Delicious Latte, creamy rich and smooth. Staff is very friendly.
Actually had a really bad experience here. Unmasked employees, curdled milk, hair in our bagel, and there was actually no cream cheese on half of my cream cheese bagel?
Yes, it's small. Yes, seating is limited. And yes, the entrance and cash register area is crowded, but the place works with the space it has. …
Great cafe downtown. It is reasonably sized with outdoor seating. Open late (til 6) and weekdays later. They do some interesting Coffees like the campfire (maple syrup and marshmallows), beetroot and turmeric lattes as well as beautiful coloured latte art. Loved it!
Great spot for either coffee or a drink. In the summer, the sidewalk patio is fantastic. It's never too crowded, has a good view of a nearby church, and the local fauna lends to some interesting people watching.
Coffee is good but they don’t enforce face mask in store!
Nice and cozy place. A bit small and limited seating area inside. But great outside seating. Nice coffees and friendly staff. Worth stopping by and drink a Latte.
Great coffee and staff
Visited Versus for breakfast and coffee with some friends. Service was slow. Set-up at the cashier and front of the store needs to be fixed. There is very little space for people coming in and out, placing orders, grabbing their orders, …
Thank GOD, I had an amazing experience here today for a few reasons: 1. Such Niiiiice staff which were sooooo kind! Jeremy and Kailey Both being awesome and friendly ???? 2. Literally Best Madeline and believe me when i say even better than Paris's herself. Frrrrrrresh out of the oven. 3.The marshmallow Latte This is The Cafe' ☕ VS.
Knowledgeable staff, kindness and a fantastic barista. This is everything you ask for at a specialty coffee cafe. My espresso was excellent and served with water to clense my pallet.
Actually used to really like this place but as service slowed and staff decreased in friendliness, I have decided to no longer go to this cafe. TL;DR - The coffee is good with decent beans (de mello is awesome), knowledgeable staff, food is good albiet pricier. Service is not consistent, Ritual orders will almost likely be delayed. The good: Coffee beans are good, food is generous and delicious even if it's a little expensive, I think it's worth it. Some staff are good. The bad: On numerous Ritual orders it was outageously late (its happened 5+ times). Not even an apology when we walked in the door. One specific order was missing a coffee. The owner didn't acknowledge and was at the Ritual tablet. Another time on a Saturday morning, a serving barista walked right into me and elbowed me in the shoulder and gave me attitude.
Wonderful place, but recycling containers provided was confusing.
Great hot chocolate and really chill patio.
Got a colorful latte from their secret menu - it was delicious and so pretty! Will be back again to try out more menu items!
A cute spot, there's a great patio. I had the drip coffee and my friend had the Americano, they were okay. My friend aslo ordered two sandwiches a bit pricey but he enjoyed them.
Little cute place to have coffee and some food. I don’t know if I’d come here to study or do anything but just have conversation over coffee but I liked all the difference choices for lattes. The food was a little overpriced considering …
Toasted Marshmallow Latter - delicious!!
Very nice place and atmosphere! Their beverages and snacks are perfect for an afternoon treat with friends!
Loved their food and coffee
My favorite cafe. Your flat white is perfect.
Great coffee! Delicious croissant and pain au chocolat! Best croissants in the area!
Hip space with cool baristas, spectacular service and coffee. Very creative and friendly place, great spot to hang out or grab and go! Really enjoyed the coffee and design (see latte art picture).
The best coffee in the city ❤️
This is a pretty good coffee place. Very tiny inside so I had my coffee on the patio. Decent place!
Avocado toast was so amazig I think this is best one in toronto
This place is so fresh , breakfast here is epic
Relaxed, perfect place for rainy afternoons with soft-lit decor and excellent coffee. Really, just a lovely cup of coffee. Staff are really nice too.
(Translated) Good Express (Original) Good expresso
I used to adore this place and go there frequently enough that the staff recognized me and remembered my order. The first time I went to redeem a free drink because I had a few of those loyalty stamp cards, the owner said it was not valid because someone stole the stamp and he wasn't honouring the program anymore. I asked for more information and he said the stamp had been stolen a while back. I asked why the customers were never told that these cards had to be redeemed by a certain time due to the theft and he said he had informed the customers. That was a lie because I had been going there so often and was never told that. I would never go back there again. The staff there are amazing but the owner is only in it for the profit.
Best Avocado toast in Toronto!
The coffee here is delicious. The cocktails were also a nice treat on a hot summer day on their cute patio.
Nice views and nice people. Good coffee
Great Coffee, happy little spot while taking a long walk around the coty
The coffee is alright, but downtown in Toronto, service is important and it was sloowwwww
Amazing coffee and a cute little shop. Love the patio in the summer.
Nice, cozy and friendly! Great for a quick midday break - to catch up with some works or take a break! Always trying to pass by:)!
Great coffee. Nice patio
Among the best coffee shops in downtown. Small menu of edibles but the flat whites and lattes are gorgeous. Ask for the colourful latte for something novel.
Now I know why people give it 5 on 5 for coffee. Amazing tasting coffee... The flavor comes out in every sip. I tried Mocha latte here.
The coffee here at Versus makes me think of the sweet sounds of Curtis Mayfields "Pusherman." Coffee so good I need it everyday! Great staff and service, a fantastic little spot for your java fix.
The quickest service and a delicious latte.
Lovely atmosphere and yummy deserts
The cappuccino was pretty good, and the outdoor seating area was nice and shaded on a sunny day under the umbrella! Talked to the owner and he was pretty nice too :)
Best coffee in the financial district and amazing staff. The croissants are a must when they are fresh out of the oven.
A little bit on the pricey side for coffee, but in my opinion, it's worth it. It's quite small inside, but they use the room wisely and there are lots of places to sit. I came here mid-week in the afternoon and it was full. Fortunately, we were taking out coffees to go. A lot more people came in while we were waiting. I tried the Campfire Latte. It was amazing! Cute combination of flavours, and a lot more that I want to try in the future. Their food looks delicious as well. Fresh, homemade and fairly healthy. As I've walked by again, I see that they have a large patio. I can't wait to come here for lunch, or a coffee and some people watching.
Cute place, great patio, had a mocha and it was delicious!
Had an affogato, avocado toast, and a grilled cheese. It was all good. The barista was a nice, knowledgeable guy
Great breakfast place, friendly staff, delicious avocado toast and tasty coffee.
This place is the best cafe in downtown toronto no exaggeration they care about the clientele and do their stuff well
Looking for a quiet place to get work done? Or have a meeting with a friend or coworker? Then you should definitely come to Versus. It’s one of my favourite cafes in toronto; with professional staff, bright & white environment, and great …
Nice place and great customer service!
Upscale coffee shop with lots of selection.
Amazing coffee.
Nice coffee, great service, and fantastic atmosphere.
It’s genuinely a cute spot to go with a friend on a study date. Cozy, sweet staff, and just a generally good vibe about the place. Good coffee beans too. I can appreciate the care they put into grinding and preparing the bean. Smokey smell that isn’t overwhelming like Starbucks. When I came back home and opened my backpack, I actually liked the residual coffee smell on my stuff. 10/10 would recommend for anyone that likes simple, hipster atmosphere. One suggestion: give the radio station a good some genres! I think I heard every Beatles song the whole time I was there. Not a bad thing, but with a cool cafe, maybe a variety in vintage music would be cool too.
Cosy place, seems to be packed with students and finance types whenever I stop by. Its quite small, so having a personal conversation is quite awkward in such a tight space. Food is well made, warm and delicious (the sriacha tuna sandwich melts in your mouth and hits all the right spots) albeit it is on the pricier end. All that said, Im giving this place 5 stars cause theres this really cute barista who always wears a baseball cap. His smile and friendly small chat makes the pain of a 9 dollar coffee sting a little less :)
Great coffee! Food is fairly good, except for the price. Staff cod be a bit more outgoing.
Run by two brothers with an accent, that might be found delightful by some women, which one of the brothers told me is from France, this is a brand new place. Tall ceilings small sitting space white walls stark but cosy...that's the ambience. The windows look out on the intersection of Adelaide and Church and the understated magnificence of St. James Cathedral. The coffee is really good and so is the cocoa powder. The slim exotic looking brother says liquor license is around the corner. Nice place.
Great coffee!
Horrible customer service. Made us wait over 30 minutes after they told us to wait at out table and that they would bring the food to us. Only to go back in and them realizing they forgot about our table and them reheating out food. Did not try to make up for their mistake at all
Excellent coffee and service
Go there
Good coffee - unique and pretty. Service is so-so.
Nicely renovated location with a nice patio. The coffee was pretty good.
loved their brew and desserts ... sucks that I changed jobs and its not a short enough walk for a coffee break
Great customer service. The best coffee and fresh sandwiches which can encourage you to comeback to this caffe.
Great coffee
Now THIS is a good place to sit, chat, work...
Thanks to versus staff for going above and beyond customer service. My husband lost his ID there and one of the baristas came and dropped it off at our house. Can not recommend enough.
Best coffee in the city! Get the affogato or cappuccino 6oz
Nice and cozy coffee shop
I had their salmon and avocado toast and a coffee for "brunch" on a Tuesday. The food was really good and considering the time in the downtown atmosphere the service/wait time was ok. The coffee was ok but I went in expecting more both taste and appearance wise, specially that I read about their "coffee art" but mine foamed out pretty quickly and my coffee came way faster than the food did. The shop inside is a little small so it's a ideal for a quick grab and go. The patio outside is beautiful though and may make a good summer spot.
Amazing cafe, great bakery (love butter croissant) snd their colourful late. They have lactose free milk which was amazing for our allergy. Definitely recommend this beautiful coffee shop
One of the best coffee places in toronto. Service is consistent. Coffee is delicious. Baristas are friendly. Simply superb
(Translated) The colored coffee had a very good flavor, contrary to what I expected, the muffins were also delicious and the service was very good, something that stuck with me was a phrase that the person who gave me my coffee said to me, he said "feel like at home" (Original) El colored coffee tenía muy buen sabor, contrario a lo que esperaba, las magdalenas también estaban deliciosas y el servicio era muy bueno, algo que se me quedo muy grabado fue una frase que me dijo la persona que me entregó mi café, dijo "siéntete como en casa"
Really great avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches
Amazing coffee and lattes !
Serving Pilot Coffee beans, the coffee is good. My decaf flat white was well done and I’m very picky about coffee. Croissant was decent; made fresh this morning, I was recommended not to heat it up, though I love a quick oven warm-up for croissants. Maybe that’s not a very classy thing to like? It was still crispy on the outside, soft, buttery inside. It’s a small space and even on a Sunday afternoon filled with laptops and tables of chatting friends.
A few tables, quiet music, free wifi - great place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. The owners seem to really put care into their drinks and the cafe is well decorated.
Quite small, but big enough so it feels cozy and fits a decent amount of people. The coffee art is amazing, and the food is even better. The brownie was so fudgie! All in all a great small little cafe, only fault is that is quite a ways out from alot of other places.
Great coffee
Cappuccino tasted amazing. Great patio space.
I ordered Maple latte, it tastes so good and love that heavy roasted smell on my cup. Basically you can order any latte with color. The pattern are beautiful. The staff is helpful and willing to answer your question.
Good mocha. Beautiful latte art.
Doesn't taste good enough for the price but nice inside and free wifi
Nice place. It doesn't look from the outside like they have much seating inside but it's actually a reasonably sized coffee shop. White minimalistic interior
great coffee and croissants!
This colour latte is amazing ☕️ They have good atmosphere :)
The avocado toast is the best here. Waiters are the friendliest. Such a lovely place to sit and drink good tea or coffee and chat with a friend at their lovely patio
The BEST avocado toast in town. I’ve been going to versus for well over 2 years now. The coffee is always fresh, the ingredients always of the highest quality and the staff always friendly. Hidden Toronto gem!!
A charming and delicious cafe
Great coffee!
Service was great but the coffee fell short. I ordered a decaf iced latte and it tasted overly acidic. Could have been the milk or coffee, not sure.
There is a wonderful atmosphere about this place, good food and skillfully crafted drinks with fast service. My experience was unforgettable because of the friendly staff. Shout out to Jeremy for the warm welcome!
Great spot for a quick lunch
Amazing espresso !
Great coffee and great staff!
Good tasty beans, polite and welcoming staff, accepts Tap. I had to take away one star for very stupid design inside with columns everywhere (small space is made even smaller, looks badly) and for very short evening hours (hard to catch after work)
Great tasting espresso coffees in a well appointed space. The patio is wonderfully refreshing in the summer time, although traffic can be a little loud and annoying during rush hour. The design is modern with good attention to details. The service was great; unprompted the owner (I'm assuming based on what he mentioned) came by our table to replace a saucer that had had some of my friends beverage spilled in it. A must visit for a true coffee fan.
Their love of coffee makes love coffee even more. You guys are rocking !
I used to adore this place. I collected the stamp cards. I went to redeem them and the owner didn’t feel like honouring the program. Apparently someone stole the stamp and he gave customers 6 months to redeem. At no point was a sign posted to let us know that and none of the staff let me know that even as they were stamping my cards. For all my colleagues that I’ve referred to this place, I’ll also be sharing this story and I definitely will not be back. Horrible service.
Very good coffee
Delicious espresso based drinks and super friendly staff. Can’t recommend it more - I was looking for a Starbucks but since they were all permanently closed, I was lucky enough to be walking by Versus.
Very good food and coffee. Very friendly staff!
Small place but cute and cozy. Coffee is not served after 3pm! Kind of pricy hot bevarages.
Cool latte art
Great coffee and pecan pie, lets not forget the brownies
Friendly staff, delicious food, and great lattes! The prices are average, the portion does look small but it’s actually quite filling. …
Great coffee good value.
Very small but cute place!
It's a cozy tucked away place. Great to just meet up and have a long talk over coffee. It's a bit on the expensive end and seating is pretty limited.
They make good coffee
Definitely a great place to hang out. Nice hidden places to sit throughout the store. Coffee is good, and the staff are warm and approachable.
It's a very trendy little spot with great coffee and the most comfortable patio chairs :) I absolutely recommend this place.
Great coffee and they have our ethiopian coffe too. Great service too. Keep it up guys.
Great sangria
Cute little hipster place to get some coffee (rainbow colored if you like), a slice of toast or other food, have a good chat with a friend, or even do some reading or work on a laptop. There aren't outlets everywhere but there are a couple for such a small best place.
Sweet little shop with friendly staff. Hop in if you're in the area!
First time in Toronto and their avocado toast and croissant made my morning. Friendly staff also are always a plus.
Great coffee shop. Walked there on a sleepy morning with not much going on downtown Toronto. Two gents working there were kind and knowledgeable. Talked different espresso roasts and they happened to be dialling in a new bean that I got to try. High quality coffee. Will have to try a food item next time I’m in.
Delightful. Perfect for an indulging snack or breakfast.
Thirsting after (or before) righteousness? Head to versus coffee for a delicious morning coffee, light breakfast or lunch. I had the Matcha tea Latte with a light, fluffy croissant. Might return for the vegan marzipan toast. A warm welcome and great food. They have the recipe for success.
Great service. Best coffee.
Amazing and pretty lattes and friendly staff! Try the maple syrup latte. The atmosphere is cozy and great as well
My new go-to coffee shop while at the office! So nice to see the independent coffee shops carving out spaces in the downtown and challenging the chains. Versus takes coffee brewing seriously and delivers a strong and flavourful cup. Love it!
Love the colour latte! Medium size is on the bigger side but no problem for me cause it’s tasty and pretty!
The place itself in decent but the surrounding are of Spadina is very run down. Deserts are cheap and tasty here.
Friendly staff and great coffee! Spacious patio with romantic mood lighting in the evening.
Lovely quiet place. Its clean and simple with some really delicious coffee. The owners are very nice and welcoming. The colourful lattes were beautiful and delicious. The avocado toast was good as well.
Great coffe shop, would be my go to if I lived in the area!
Cute place.
Excellent staff. Always a great time here. The rain hard beer was amazing !! Their grilled cheeses are small but oh my gosh they are delicious. In the winter I love getting lattes, they do colourful swan art.
Excellent coffee for the price you pay on top the vibe is awesome!
Best coffee in town
Really nice place with excellent vibes!! The coffee and croissant I had was amazing. Must visit here again.
Kaz absolutely loves their coffee! ☕ To die for. ????????
Beautiful, amazing coffee and friendly, talented staff. If you love coffee and love talking about coffee, this is a very welcoming place for you.
Great place, the coffee is awesome, I recommend !
Amazing coffeeeee!!!
Best latte in Toronto!
It was a great americano. Their coffee wasn't fresh, so they offered to either brew me a new pot or give me an americano at the drip coffee price. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. They had a nice light ambiance with some gentle jazz playing. Oh, the americano was excellent!
Good
Great coffee
First time coming by today and the service was super quick and everyone greeted me warmly! Quality of the coffee and food were amazing at decent price points too. The patio has lots of seating for studying or hanging out. This place is definitely added to my go-to cafes in Toronto :-)
Great food and coffee Great service
Very good toasts and coffee!
I got a Matcha latte and hot chocolate for myself. The drinks were good. They have a nice seating indoor and outdoor.
Great coffee and service
Am writing it while am still here. One of the best tea’s and even more this place is superb. And not to forget great staff
Campfire latte. Enough said.
Best coffee in the area and baristas are always so nice.
Vegan options. Yummy food. Great staff
I hate Starbucks, but I rather will choose Starbucks than this coffeeshop. Poor customer service. I gave chance few times but always disappointed. Very convenient and that's all.
Amazing café???? Literally love this place so much!!! They have a wide range of options to choose from for drinks and delicious pastry???? I got a cookie and a latte and it was amazing. The atmosphere is nice taking a sip of coffee and getting some nice pictures☺️
Great coffee!
Cute and cozy place! Love their latte art and staff is super friendly.
My absolute favourite work/study spot. Amazing lattes and the staff are sociable and friendly. 5+ stars if I could!
Nice atmosphere, good music and great coffee.
Tiny but cute little cafe with great coffees and yummy snacks
Very small indoor space. Currently have 1 hour seating limit. Coffee is really good, and pricy, but that's expected considering location. Not ideal for long stay, and chill. But good place to hangout quickly. (probably a good first date spot lol)
It's an okay place. The matcha latte I had was definitely beautiful but it did not taste good at all. It was poorly made, there were chucks in it. They make really good instagram pictures though
Fantastic coffee and breakfast food
Great food. Fast service. Clean and friendly.
Great little place that offers colorful lattes that I've never seen elsewhere. The hours are a bit short for now, but i was told they are now licensed to serve liquor and will be extending hours soon along with cocktail service :D
Always a great Americano!
I love it here. Yummy drinks and the service is amazing!
Good little coffee shop. I had the cold brew which was superb. Also got a breakfast sandwich that was delicious.
Amazing coffee!! strongest and one of the tastiest in the area
My favourite coffee place! The croissants are VERY good too!
Beautiful lattes, awesome staff !
The vegan marzipan toast tho ????
Good coffee and food options. Quick and have outdoor seating. This is one of our top coffee spots in TO.
Best avocado toast in the city! Not only does versus serve top quality food and drink, but the space is beautiful, the patio is spacious and comfortable, and the staff are such a pleasure to chat with. Fun, friendly and delicious.
Friendly service, great drinks! I particularly like the iced Americano and hibiscus tea. ????
Neat little place. Fun colourful lattes and good small breakfast.
Little pricey
This is my favourite coffee shop in Toronto. Me and my colleagues are regulars here. Their croissants are the best I have had and the lattes with great latte art. They also have a beautiful patio for days when you just want to soak some Vitamin D while working or meeting friends.
My go to place for flat white. Their colored lattes are quite an exhibition. I love the atmosphere, one of a very few coffee shops where I prefer to stay in.
Second best hot chocolate I’ve ever had ❤️
Great little coffee shop. Friendly staff. Great bevrages
Excellent smoked salmon on toast and a fantastic Americano. Perfect for studying inside. I lobe the sunlight through the glass windows and the white walls and wooden floors. Very cozy.
staff are the sweetest and the lattes are amazing
Wonderful staff. One of the lovelies baristas in the city works here. Highly recommend a visit.
Staff was friendly, the shop was a bit too small. I might try again in the summer when it's warm enough for the patio
Great Cafe in toronto
This place has a great ambiance and they have a unique design. The food is amazing and the coffee is delicious!! The staff is always very friendly, considerate and accommodating. One of the best coffee shop in Toronto. I would highly recommend it to all of my friends. Keep up the good work!
Four employees stuffed in a tiny room, no one is masking. Cold brew delicious, brownie with hardly any chocolate in it. Over $9 for both ????.
love this place and how friendly the staff is! all the tables on the patio have 'sanitized' tabs on them and get cleaned after each person leaves which i really appreciate and the staff working have masks on, great coffee too. you can tell they really care about what they do
Really friendly service and excellent coffee. This is also a great place to sit down and work or just relax.
amazing cafe :)
Good coffee and snacks. Slightly overpriced. $4 for a small cup of cappuccino.
Awesome place
Excellent espresso
Very cozy little indoor place (will need to visit in the summer when the patio is open). The latte art is AMAZING. Truly a piece of art that I almost did not want to drink it. But I am glad I did as the latte was on point.
Friendly staff and tasty coffee! I love sitting on their patio.
Delicious latte, gorgeous space and great service!
Gorgeous little place, full of light with wonderfully made espresso drinks.
Incredible service, coffee, and the staff are unbelievably hospitable and courteous! I would highly recommend this to anyone for a quick coffee to-go!
Dine…
Excellent! Love the vibe. The food is top notch ????????coffee is velvet delight. Great lighting to work under. People watching is fun too when you’re positioned at the windows lost in thought.
Clean, professional and fast cafe. High quality coffee!
Anthony and Adam are super friendly. Cookies are heavenly amazing and the cappuccino is creamy too. One more thing is: In-house kitchen which is hard to see in most coffee shop. (Yes, the cookies are made in house)
Friendly staff and burned coffee. Didn't wait to seat on Saturday. Definitely worth a 4.
Absolutely a perfect place to work meeting or study. The ambiance was great. Customer service was great.
Good coffee actually. The patio is nice too.
Adorable little coffee place. Great coffee, delicious healthy food
Always happy to be there. The best coffee in town, I only drink coffee in the morning, but their healthy juices are just amazing!
Sunny location with delicious pastries and coffee drinks
Great place for that perfect coffee date!! Must try ☕
1/5 stars
Beautiful and delicious food! A tad over priced in my opinion but was worth a quick bite on a Sunday when most other breakfast places were closed. Very well lit and aesthetic place with great seating. The latte art was beautiful, and there …
This is more like it. A neighbourhood business that is passionate about their product and service. Knowledgeable baristas and quality beans. I highly recommend Versus Coffee.
Great little local coffee shop
Cute spot
There's so many places in Toronto that boast 'third wave coffee'. TO blog, or scanning through the endless reviews it's all the same: coffee shop with a picture of latte art thousands of positive reviews. You get there, and if you know coffee...it horribly disappoints. [Disclaimer] I grew up with 2 friends that compete in barista competitions and can tell the difference between someone who knows how to reproduce the gestures (tamp, grind, extraction, etc)...and a barista who knows (or cares) how to dial in a shot. E.g. spoiled and basically a real life version of Jordan Schlansky. So far I've been repeatedly disappointed with just about every coffee shop in Toronto. It's awful. That said, the barista pulled a pretty solid shot for our lattes. Thanks guys! I appreciate the friendly service, good coffee and killer smoked salmon (I literally went back for seconds).
awesome awesome place
Little war today but nice place to meet friends!
Such friendly staff, tried the avocado toast it was amazing! Great little cafe, highly recommend!
Love their colourful lattes! And the service is amazing. Definitely a great place to hang out and/or study :)
I usually drink coffee for the utility and not the taste but this coffee was excellent. A little tart but not exactly bitter. The setting was nice and the service was quick. Would grab some coffee again if I'm in the neighborhood. I need the name of that medium roast!
Cute little cafe. Coffee flavour profile is standard, nothing exciting.
Really nice, cosy place! Staff was very friendly, the espresso was great and the food very delicious. Fully recommend it to anyone who likes to chill in coffee shops! ????
I stopped by this place to grab a matcha latte and a pecan square. Both were delicate and delicious, although I found the foam of the matcha latte slightly bitter for my taste. Nonetheless, the atmosphere of this coffee shop is pleasant, making it great for hanging out friends.
Good coffee and tasty brownie and friendly baristas.
Lovely outside seating (both sun and shade) and friendly service. Though, we were disappointed in the Cold Brew (nitro) today. Apart from the creamy head, it tasted like a regular iced coffee that got diluted due to too many ice cubes in it. It was not worth its price of $5. I may come back for their other drinks, but won’t order the nitro again.
My favourite coffee shop in Toronto. Great staff, quaint atmosphere. Check it out!
Tried the affogato. They have vanilla gelato and tiramisu, I like the vanilla because you can taste the espresso more. You get quite a bit too. I will be back to try the rainbow latte :)
Definitely Toronto's #1 coffee shop! With a large patio, excellent coffee and snacks, and the best service in the city, Versus is every coffee lover's dream. Meeting a friend, a date, a business associate, or looking for a spot to read, get to Versus! Thanks to the entire crew @ Versus for making me feel welcomed each and every time.
Amazing coffee shop !
Great little alternative to Starbucks
One of the most aesthetic coffee shops in downtown Toronto! I love their minimalistic decor, and modern decor, it makes the whole space both inside seating and outside patio so comfy and enjoyable to stay for a whole afternoon. …
I like studying here and also to hangout with my boyfriend here. Very cute place with good music.
Service
Literally one of my favourite spots! You have to try the madeleine cakes! Also check out some visuals on my YouTube channel “Steph&Den”
Tastiest Americano in the city! Absolutely delicious
Good coffee, cozy indoors and lovely patio
Good coffee and breakfast. Coffee is a proper coffee not your usual starbucks or Tims.
Great lighting during the day if you want to get some work done. Good coffee as well!
This café is the most elegant, yet simple café. It’s a bit small... but the design is beautiful
Fun Francophone hideout on Church St.
Small, but cute place! Good for casual meetings. Staff were very sweet as well!
Good coffee. Im a latte drinker, and this feels stronger yet smooth compared to what i like. Limited seating, and it is difficult to get a seat. Good place overall
Amazing quality brewed coffee unmatched in the city, with some unique flavours! Great and friendly staff that remember your name and face when you walk in as a regular. Recently added alcohol to the menu which is a great option for the outside patio.
The crew are lovely and it's a pleasure just talking with them. The cafe itself feels like home, and you won't notuce the time here. I love their interior design and the minimalist style. Their coffee and xake was absolutely delicious, and …
Love it. Breakfast sandwich is my favorite!
The coffee is great and I love a latte with maple flavour as a treat. So happy they’ve decided to stay open, I always look forward to my coffee runs here.
Great staff. Good coffee, though the Maple one was not good.
Getting all the basics right! The coffee's on point, Madelines were baked to perfection and the staff's extremely accommodating.
Great coffee
Great food, great coffee, outstanding service, and very comfortable. Amazing place if you want a quiet and peaceful afternoon to read a book.
A cute little place on a corner that is perfect for a coffee shop. Most of the beverages are reasonably priced. Modern decor, clean, cool tables. Outside patio available.
I think their lattes are overpriced. Also, I expected my rainbow latte art to be prettier but it didn't look as nice as pictures I have seen online. Overall, this cafe is just okay in my opinion. It's a nice neighbourhood coffee shop thought but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to visit here.
Lattes and coffee are great. Highly recommend to come and try! The brownies are too die for! So good. The place is tiny inside but the outside has different seating areas and ambience is good for studying or reading!
Great little coffee shop and coffee, def. Stop by here if your in area
best coffee
Great spicy tuna sandwich, I enjoyed it immensely. Great coffee too! Staff is lovely and puts a smile on your face.
Overall a nice experience in this downtown patio cafe during COVID-19. The place is very clean and the staff took all the precautions and cleaning procedures after each guest uses the tables outside. In terms of coffee, it’s pretty average …
Small space, friendly service. Used sweetened almond milk in their espresso drinks, which I don't love.
Awesome little coffee shop. Friendly barristas and decent outdoor sitting during summer months
Love the vibe on a Sunday morning. Fantastic matcha latte and avocado toast (slightly pricey) but def a good spot to rewind and enjoy a bit of me-time. Patio seems to be dog friendly. Servers are kind!
Great Coffee, Great Food and Great People. This is my favorite Cafe in Toronto!!!
Great coffee, as always. The must-go-to coffee bar east of Yonge.
Best coffee I've had in Toronto so far, and I'm kind of a coffee snob. I go there all the time. The people are extremely friendly. They now have food which is also delicious. It's also nice to study there, and when it's warmer to sit outside. Would highly recommend!
One of the best flat whites I've ever tried. Recommend their breakfast sandwiches as well. Staff is very friendly.
I love their staff! Possibly some of the most wonderful human beings ever. Hang out with the team at any point in the day, and you'll be in for a treat! (also a physical treat as they carry Portuguese egg tarts)
Great coffee and very friendly staff who know coffee! Love the Parisian feel of the Cafe and the toast sandwiches are heavenly!
The coffee was burnt but it's a neat spot
Great coffee place ☕️
Really good coffee!
Love love love their coloured espresso drinks. You have to be specific in asking for it but you will come back once you've tried it. The staff is professional. You gotta try the chia pudding and the vegan items - yummy!
Amazing coffee, kaz loves it.
Loved their iced mocha
Super cute place to get some work done (free WiFi)! It's quiet and the small space makes it feel even nicer. I got the matcha latte which really wasn't great (Starbucks makes it yummier) but I would still come back for the ambiance. Also love that they have got lots of seating outside.
Awesome west coast vibe.
Great coffee and amazing croissants. A real gem!
Coo
Loved the breakfast sandwich
Always a great place with good coffee and terrific staff
Great space, south facing, tons of light, tall ceilings, very friendly service. not busy during the week. A good space to get work done. the cortado was a shame, though. a bit stale and burnt
Not bad.
Don’t forget to support local business! They are still serving take out and great coffee!
Absolutely the best coffee in Downtown Toronto.
Fabulous! Great latte and snacks. One time my latte tasted off.. and they made me a new one on the spot! Love you guys! Cheers.
I sorta came here for the gram lol. The place is small and cozy. I ordered the beetroot latte and it came out a lot paler than the photos they advertised or their Instagram page. I was going to order the avocado on toast but those two pieces of bread costs 7 dollars something so I passed.
If you want a colorful latte, be sure to ASK for one. It's not the default latte you get, despite reviews.
Coffee scene in Toronto is pretty fierce and plentiful... So how do you make yourself stand out? Lots of people can do wonderful latte art and make it Insta pretty. There are some really good local roasters to get very good beans and make a great tasting cup. Most people can reno and paint their way to a cute spot. So what's the difference between a 4 and 5 star place? The owner and baristas. Anthony, owner of Versus, brought that forward and put Versus in one of my top spots in Toronto for me. Sitting pretty with a patio at the base of a new(er) build condo, Versus is a cute and modern small cafe that serves up espresso based drinks and also buddha bowls and simple breakfast fares. It's a calm atmosphere with its white washed walls and lots of bright sunlight flowing in. On a Sunday morning, lots of locals filled the tables with their drinks and laptops. It was nicely quiet even if every table was taken. Quick note ... for all those who want to get your Instagram pretty drinks. Just tell them ahead of time and for a few dimes, they can make your drink look like a rainbow. Also they have this crazy sounding one where they use maple syrup and roasted marshmallow for their campfire latte. Flat white - rich, smooth, and balanced. This was very nice and the darker notes made me appreciate it even more since a few recent places were quite light. I liked how there wasn't too much acidity but there was a touch bitterness that gave it a pleasant bite. It's definitely not your starter espresso drink but it's still very approachable. 5/5 Caramel Latte - I love the latte art on this one as I know almond milk doesn't froth as densely as cows milk. The taste to this was mildly sweet with a touch of caramel. It did balance with the lighter coffee note as it didn't overwhelm it. Perhaps I was expecting a bolder note for both the coffee or caramel. Either way, a nice drink to start the day. I think I'll grab the flat white next time. 4/5 As I mentioned, 5 stars are not common for me but I feel the passion from Anthony was really great. We had an amazing conversation about the coffee scene in Toronto. His personal take on how Toronto's taste buds are with coffee and how he specifically chosen his coffee beans to suit his clientele. I definitely want to return and perhaps try more great drinks.
Very bio. Tasty is good. Nice . I will comeback
I love this cafe. The barista was an amazing man and he made me a really nice latte art :)
Top notch service.
I drink so much coffee I ended up in an alleyway
The coffees and lattes are done really well. The menu looked really good as well, but I didn't get to try any food yet. The service was quick and the employees were very polite. I highly recommend for a good espresso beverage and an overall good experience.
An authentic coffee house. AMAZING patio. Owners take the time to provide quality ingredients and care. It's independent business like this that our city needs.
One of my favourite coffeeshops. I love the light and ambiance, and the service is consistently friendly and quick.
Perfect for breakfast ????
Very nice and cosy, the drinks are amazing!
There's really nothing to dislike about this place, simple, friendly and a cool spot to chat, work or get away from the mundaneness of the work stress day. Also on Ritual if you would like to get some points, cash in points... They are one of the places in Toronto that does the colour art latte with food colouring for an extra $0.40---ask them nicely and they will sure create! The latte themselves were creamy, delicious but nothing crazy spectacular by any means; their campfire lattes are absolutely delicious! On the sweet end but still, delicious nonetheless! They have one item on the menu that's gluten free and it is their chocolate brownie--decadent! On the regular side they have plenty of toast options ???? The decor is simple white with various colourful hipster-y paintings and fake ivy plants lining the wall. Little nooks and areas of seating, seating is scarce.
Sleek space, a big variety of drinks + alcohol. Loved their lox bagels!
Owner and employees are great to chat with and you can't beat the coffee quality, on par with places like Neo and Te Aro.
My go-to spot to have good coffee and get work done!!
Great coffee, food, service, patio! Making this my new haunt...
Great coffee shop with a nice patio.
Staff went OUT of his way to deliver the food to my car. I walked in there today at around 11AM to order salmon and avocado toast. I went into my car for a few minutes just to wait and make sure I didn’t get a ticket. I was going to go back …
Amazinggggg avocado toasts, lovely staff and a great selection of quality teas! Absolutely love coming here.
This is a great coffee shop. The coffee is delicious, the staff bilingual, the treats are great, there's outdoor seating, and is overall a wonderful place. I came here because I saw they did coloured lattes (yeah, I know, I eat with my …
(Translated) My friend and I go there often, and we love it a lot. It has the right atmosphere, with great music for a Monday morning at 7:00 am. (Original) Mon amie et moi y allons souvent, et nous l'aimons bcp. Il a la bonne ambiance, avec la musique super pour un lundi matin à 7h00.
Food was great and the service was with a smile.
My number one go-to spot in the area!
Nice coffee and food.
One of my favorite coffee places. Try to campfire!
Beautiful place.
Had the Chai tea latte and croissant. Both were excellent. Sat on the patio around 10:30am. They have lovely yellow umbrellas, but it was still full sun and too hot for me to sit longer than 15 min. This didn't seem to bother the other people ther. Staff are very friendly
By far my favourite coffeeshop in the neighbourhood. The owners are two brothers who are passionate not only about making delicious coffee but more importantly about great customer service. It’s the kind of place where you can come to read a book, meet other people or do your work. You’ll come for the coffee but stick around for the friendly people and fun spontaneous conversations. Oh by the way food here is reasonably priced and delicious - go for the freshly baked madeleines.
Their specialty lattes are pretty incredible!
Coffee taste is awful and it is very pricey. I paid additional money for colorful picture on coffee to post a photo on Instagram, it was very poor with just one color.
Mocha and campfire is a must try!
Beautiful and good coffee ????
Delicious coffee and recently tried their chia pudding, I don't know what the chia was made in, it had a hint of yellow, but it was delicious, creamy and I really liked the flavour and texture.
Great service, latte and wifi!
Outstanding customer service! They carry nitrogen infused cold brew kegs from the station cold brew company. Their hibiscus iced tea is also amazing. I love this place
#versuscoffee is the best. These guys do quality coffee, delicious food (love the avocado toast and baked goods) with a fantastic patio. Perfect place for morning espresso or afternoon wine/beer.
Love their coffee, love their food and love their patio! Great spot to meet up with friends or colleagues while downtown!
Great coffee ☕! Had a double espresso - an absolute go to for good espresso
Versus Coffee is one of my favourite cafes in the financial district. The space here is not huge but just enough with patios outside. They offer really creative lattes that are "gramworthy" but some people might find it a little pricey because they taste like regular lattes. I would recommend Versus Coffee to those looking for some space with good vibes to study in or catch up with friends/colleagues over coffee. I'll be coming back to try some of their pastries!
Atmosphere is something that I value heavily when it comes to coffee shops, between the relaxing music, variety of seating (outdoor, inside, inside with natural light), and general decor including art this place really does a fantastic job. Coffee was great, went with flat white this time but I look forward to coming back and trying the many iced options this summer.
The staff is soooo nice:) he make my day???? The barista draws pretty latte❤️
The coffee here is very good. Fast service.
Great coffee. Beautiful interior.
Because of the current pandemic patrons eat and drink outdoors. That's ok. However, because of the beautiful greenery around the seating, that is an abundance of wasps. Not pleasant.
Delicious coffee
Absolutely love this cafe and the patio arrangement. Great coffee in the financial district area with a great vibe.
The lattes not only taste good but the latte art is beautiful. Great customer service. Great little coffee shop.
A nice place for morning coffee and sandwiches. Patio is now open !
Comfortable atmosphere and friendly baristas. Will return for sure. Great space for working!
great lattes, great atmosphere
Friendly customer service and pretty lattes!
Lovely spot tucked away in the financial district. Lattes are beautiful and creative and also very smooth and delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu
Nice and cozy place with WiFi, colourful drinks, friendly baristas and alcohol licence????
Unique and spectacular.
Great food and coffee!
Stylish, intimate and bright coffee house
Great coffee, friendly staff, but limited seating.
It's my second time visiting and hands down one of the best if not the best cappuccino I've had. Very strong and smoothe. Baked goods are yummy too and staff are very friendly. Lovely patio as well!
Cute cafe with good teas
One of those rare places with truly exceptional filter coffee. Minimalist design, east-facing patio is great for morning coffees!
A little bit pricey but worth every penny
I like the coffee here. Nice coffee with friendly staff. also I like the cake here!
Decent coffee and environment
I love the patio at Versus in the spring and summer. You sit down and the sun shines down on you while you are enjoying one of their delicious coffees. They also allow you to throw an alcoholic shot into your coffee, something I wish others cafes offered.
An excellent little spot. Delicious coffee. A sunny patio in the summer.
Really nice service, the gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and helpful when we inquired about the menu
Great stuff!
Absolutely love this place! The staff is so helpful and amazing, the food is delicious, and its such a great place to work or catch up. Love it! Ps. the avocado toast with a poached egg is DIVINE (highly recommend).
Really good coffee and cool space.
Coffee is really good and they use the right type of soy milk. Recommend over Starbucks anyday.
Dark chocolate mocha is amazing, the cafe is small but cozy, good place for a nice chat with friends
Great atmosphere and service! Good food too, highly recommend
