Cocoalatte on St Clair W is nice and cosy but if you’re willing to make the trek I’d recommend Coco’s neighborhood coffee shop on College! It’s my favourite cafe in Toronto, packed to the brim with vitnage furniture. The coffee is strong, and the sandwiches and pastries are unmatched.

I haven’t been to Toronto in years but this was always one of my favorites. The drinks are adorable, everyone who works there is so nice, also try the carrot cake!

My magical, not-so-secret hideout at school. Come for the $3.00 frothy chai, stay to eavesdrop on chainsmoking hairdressers recounting their lives to the resident artist, sketching away. It's for locals and graduate students, tucked under failing real estate offices on Calder Ave. Limited hours and nothing flashy, except for the old-style bean roaster jammed right next to the door.
Reminiscent of Prestogeorge in the Pittsburgh Strip. Pleasant and intimate. Charming baristas. When the weather's warm, perch outside and people-watch from your safe, buried trench. Also merchants of olive oil, tinned fish, and all your italio-american quick fixes.

Excellent coffee, gorgeous aesthetics, no wifi/laptops, just vibes and Italian goods with a no-nonsense menu. The baristas WILL hit on you (or is that just my pretty girl privilege?) but will do so in a respectful, sexy way. Best cafe to yap with a pal at in Montreal - the only downside being that it’s located downtown.

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted.
But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.
