Seating is solid, but noise can be hit or miss depending on the time of day. Coffee is good but a bit inconsistent. I usually go for cortados, and while I've had some really good ones here, other times the milk-to-espresso ratio feels off. The flat white, on the other hand, was excellent. Still need to try the pour-over. Service is always good too! Food is solid. Chocolate chip banana muffin was great, turkey sandwich was okay. Overall: Come for the space and vibe, and try a few drinks before locking in your go-to.

We had a Sea Salt Coffee, Ube Latte, and a couple of sandwiches. The coffee and sandwiches were…read moredelicious, but the powder in the Ube Latte wouldn't mix into the milk and stayed clumped at the bottom of the cup. Line moved quickly and our drinks came out in less than 5 minutes. The seating area was neat, very industrial concrete with a relaxing vibe.

I usually walk over here on weekend mornings when I just want some quiet time to clear my head, read a few chapters of a book & enjoy a simple, well-made drink. The whole environment feels incredibly grounded and unpretentious - no aggressive corporate branding, no blasting music, just a soft, relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful view of Riverdale Park across the street. Their filter coffee is consistently smooth & you can tell they prioritize proper, clean quality over flashiness. The space is filled with warm wood tones and plenty of natural light, making it the perfect corner for anyone who just wants to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate a minimalist, calm setting. The staff are always incredibly polite, quiet & let you look over the menu at your own pace without any rush or pressure. It's an absolute sanctuary for introverts or anyone looking to find a pocket of stillness in the city. A truly wonderful, honest neighborhood gem that I'll continue to support regularly.

This is by far my favourite coffee shop in Toronto!!! I've…read morehad the iced pistachio, and black sesame hojicha lattes. Both VERY delicious, with just a subtle sweetness, just the way I like it. It has a beautiful and unique atmosphere that transforms me back to Japan. It's small but there's a lot of seating, plus it's puppy friendly!!! The baristas are so warm and inviting, and treat you like an old friend. I couldn't recommend it enough -- especially on a warm, sunny Friday morning, where it was quite calm and peaceful. 5/5 service, 5/5 atmosphere, 5/5 drinks!

I thought the concept of the cafe was cool but not really my cup of tea. However, I thought the drinks and food were fantastic!!! My cousin and I ordered a mango croffle to share and the matcha taro latte and a strawberry espresso drink. Both drinks had what tasted like fresh, real fruit and vegetable puree. I was OBSESSED with the matcha taro latte. The croffle had real whipped cream (thank god no reddi whip), crushed graham crackers, and fresh chopped mango. It was buttery and delicious. I highly recommend Playground Cafe for their drinks and food (and tbh the prices were reasonable too!).

Their drinks tasted great and looked really aesthetic pleasing we got the purple kiss and hot Vietnamese latte. Definitely want to try their strawberry matcha next time (it looked so good). We also got their Oreo Croffle and ham & cheese croffle. I liked their Oreo croffle more but they were both cooked beautifully. The staff was also very kind, greeting us, and made our drinks very quickly! They are a bit small so it might be harder to get a seat on the weekends

This review is for the NEW SECOND LOCATION on Jarvis St. (North of King, on the east side). I was…read moreincredibly excited to hear this location opened as I was a huge fan and a regular at the Shuter St location when I worked in the area. This second location is only a couple of weeks old and I already like the vibe. There are long tables and a bench - I love the possibility of conversations when people sit at shared long tables!! The walls are still bare, and I suspect it's just a matter of time for some inspired art to show up. About the main event, coffee, the same focus on excellence followed to the second location. Come here for great coffee and excellent service! Shawn mentioned that they will be a rotation of cookies that are baked onsite - I am excited to come back to see that. Oh yeah, I mustn't forget that this location faces the gorgeous St. James park and cathedral. See photos.
