Our group organised a tequila walking tour that met and began at Osprey. As usual it was good vibes and great drinks! They took care of our group with gorgeous watermelon lemonade and tequila or pickle lemonade with tequila! This place is flexible, accommodating and fun!

Osprey Cafe is a great place to come chill during the day or night (as they have a liquor license)! It’s clean, cozey, and laid back. They have a cool punch card system for their regular coffee drinkers, which is a nice and unique touch. I also had the best chocolate chunk cookie here ! Which was perfectly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Definitely recommend visiting !

A cozy, beautiful cafe! Ample seating space. The baristas are absolutely amazing and friendly. Great coffee and sandwiches. The price is cheaper and taste is better than many coffee chains. 10/10 recommended.

I just randomly pick this cafe for Sunday breakfast. Latte and Cortado are being the very well prepared. We try the Rosemary Parmesan cheese muffin is really savoury and surprisingly tasty.

Such a cute café with comfortable seating, cosy atmosphere and tasty, smooth coffee (great decaf too). Super friendly team, always nice music playing - it’s a bar too and there was a DJ on Saturday evening. Will try some food if they have vegan options

Cute and cozy cafe located where Queen West meets the Queensway, near Parkdale Hall. Visited today (Saturday) at 12:30pm. There were about 6 people inside, but still 4 tables available for seating (half empty). Ordered the brown butter chocolate chunk cookies. I warmed them with the natural sunlight flowing in from the large bench window seating. It was delicious, soft and not too sweet. A great balance of salt and sweet. Lots of different types of table seating. Would be great for catching up with friends or getting work done. The barista/owner was kind and friendly. The cafe only offers hot drinks, but they offer coffee, tea, and seltzers. I asked if I could order a matcha paste and then I ordered the white peach seltzer. I combined the two and made myself a nice cold and refreshing drink. Not sure if they have wifi. They seem to share their space with a hair salon – the salon is in the very back. The washroom is also clean and on the same level as the cafe. I highly recommend a visit. I'd love to return if I'm in the area.

Only request: they open at 8am so people can go in before work Fantastic classic city cafe for coffee or wine. They aren’t trying to be fancy, they are causal and well lived in. Got a huge bay window perfect to hangout in with a book. No one rushes you. Matcha lattes are excellent here and their grill cheese is PACKED full of cheese and only $8. Total of two matcha lattes, grill cheese, several hours in a sunny bay window with a tip was less than 15$ Apparently they have comedy nights last Friday of every month. Excited to check that out

They make good grilled cheese! It's pretty chill place to get a bite to eat, drink coffee and read a few pages from your book. It was really hot in there though so maybe I came on a day where it was hot but overall nice place
