Fantastic espresso, solid cap. Super hipster vibes in this cute tiny space. I love how common The Common is becoming in Toronto.

The best coffee shop in the city. Hands down! A little hole in wall with great people always behind the counter. Coffee is excellent. They have hot & cold drinks and only take cash. Good place for working and meeting a friend. Ever person who works here is awesome !

I pass by this place on my way to butcher shop and wondered why there is always lineup it looks like some sort of pop-up, surely there other places to get coffee and baked goods. Today I joined the lineup out of pure curiosity, so glad I did I ordered a coffee , croissant for my son and a blueberry scone. The coffee was rich, bold and smooth and the blueberry scone was like none other that I've had before , it was very rustic looking with a crunchy exterior and super soft interior absolutely delish. If you are not in a rush and in the mood to treat yourself to something special I highly suggest you join the lineup you wont be disappointed. Quick tip because it looks like a pop up thought it was cash only but they do take debit & don't forget to tip a lotta love goes into their baking

The coffee is nice and kicky and I had a ham and cheese croissant sandwich that was excellent. It was crazy busy at 11:00 AM on a weekday. A lot of people were there with laptops. I was hoping to do some work too, but I found the atmosphere too frantic to concentrate.
The price for my coffee and sandwich was reasonable at $6.50.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - The Q.Toronto, Canada8619May 18, 2017
The BEST coffee shop in the area. Espresso and lattes are phenomenal. I get my latte with steamed almond or coconut milk. They have flavor shots too. Try the coconut cookies or the ham and cheese croissant's

I've walked by this little cofffe shop a number of times on my way to and from the Ymca. It's a little hole in the wall that's always busy (mainly because there are only about 5 tables), and always has about 10 people hanging around outside. They're open until 9 throughout the summer, which is very nice, and they're licensed, if you want a drink. There were a number of free tables when I stopped by around 7:30 pm.
I had an herbal tea called Angel's Brew (?), which I loved. They sell a variety of black, green and herbal teas from Silk Road. For snacks, they offer shortbread or coconut cookies. I tried the coconut - it was nothing special - a little bit hard. Prices are very cheap though - $3 even for tea/cookie to go!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - Julie K.Toronto, Canada02Jul 13, 2014
The place was an unsanitary disaster during my visit! There were grinds everywhere, the espresso machine hadn't been wiped in at least 8 hrs I am sure, all the milk was left unchilled and disarrayed, but the most disgusting thing was watching the barista file her nails directly beside the milk steaming jugs.
My iced soy mocha was decent and the service was acceptable, by hipster standards, but that place needs to clean up!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sam G.Toronto, Canada511977Apr 19, 2010
Smooth and tasty $2 Americanos poured by friendly and efficient staff. They pour the water in front of you and ask you to "say when". Awesome.
Pain Perdu croissants. (I just found out this morning, my favourite!)
Indoor and outdoor seating, free wi-fi, but be forewarned it is a popular spot (obv).
I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more Common.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
