I'm reluctantly doing this review because it's my favourite spot in the city and I don't want the secret to get out! The coffee is wonderful and earthy (Ethiopian roasts are less acidic, I find, which I prefer) a good array of pastries and the place has a light whiff of freshly roasted, buttery, coffee. Low on Hipsters (a plus for me ;) and plenty of long, natural wood tables to settle into a bit of work, reading or a conversation with friends. Lots of natural light and also beautifully lit. Few places in the city are owned by people who come from the places where the coffee is actually grown, so Mofer, is also unique in that way. Plus the owners are wonderful, friendly people. And that fireplace is super cozy!

I love this place! They have delicious coffee and the place feels so cozy. Sometimes they roast coffee beans and it smells so delicious. It’s a great place to read or do work, it doesn’t get too noisy in the mornings. Free wifi. Lots of seating. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

I come here for the freshest steep and filter coffee in Toronto! Green beans roasted in house and so much attention to detail from the owners birthplace! Thank you for your kind service!

I wish I discovered this place sooner! I would say I am typically not a fan of Ethiopian origin coffee, but I was very much impressed with this cup. The beans were not too bitter, they roast their beans in house, and very kind staff. It has a cozy ambience just off the busy street. I will need to pick up some beans at some point.

I had a great time at Moffer Coffee Shop! I went with the iced caramel coffee and the brioche spinach, and both were delicious. Bella, the server, made the experience even better. She was super friendly and helped me pick out exactly what I was in the mood for. Her recommendations were spot on, and she really made me feel welcome. If you’re in the area, definitely check it out—good coffee and even better service

Great coffee shop with a nice vibe and rustic decor. Coffee is Ethiopian, strong, flavourful and tasty. Service is excellent, the employees are friendly and efficient. Wifi is free and fast. Morning sunshine shines through the facade windows creating a relaxed mood as you sip your Americano and enjoy one of their Scones. Give them a try, and you'll be happy you did! By the way, the drip coffee is simply perfect.

Beautiful and spacious place. I like it when they roast coffee in the store so I can enjoy the smell of freshly roasted beans mmmm I love the earthy decoration. I only tried the black coffee and latte and it was nice. I wish they add at least one vegan pastry. Overall this is one of my favorite cafes in Toronto.
