Visited to grab some coffee and an espresso. The staff were all smiles and so friendly. They didn't have bags, but they did have trays, which did the job. It was a quick order experience, and I received my drinks fast as well. Solid espresso and solid drip coffee! It was also very cozy inside with plenty of seating for individuals looking for a co-working/working space. read more

I had some time to kill before a TIFF screening, so I figured a nice cup of coffee might hit the spot. I can't say Daily Dose was on my radar, but I'm so glad I popped in. I noticed that they had a special Shortbread Latte on offer, so obviously I had to try that. It was ready within minutes and it's terrific. I can't say I would've ever made the shortbread connection, but it's just about a perfect latte. The balance of coffee and milk is right on point, and it was as smooth and tasty as I was hoping. (I also want to shout out the atmosphere, which is super cozy and inviting. They've even got a comfy little couch that enhanced the whole experience.) I think I'll be coming back here regularly from now on, that's for sure. read more

A cute little hidden coffee bar in downtown Toronto delights with comfy ambiance and delicious brews. I stopped here in the morning on a whim as I was rushing to work, to get a quick coffee and bolt to the office. A quick search later and I found the daily dose. Service was quick, friendly and they make a beautiful cup of coffee. The coffee bar is warm, welcoming and comfortable. I was in and out quickly but I could just as easily stayed to be late for work. They absolutely nailed the coffee in every aspect. I'll definitely be back and you should definitely stop in for your daily dose! read more

Daily Dose is a bustling cafe located in the downtown core, I walk by so often and finally got to try it! It wasn't busy on a Sunday morning but usually it's packed when I come by. It is located downstairs with a few tables inside, but there is a small patio outside as well. Good selection of desserts, croissants, scones - but seems like they are baked at a different location. They offered to reheat my croissant, which is a nice touch. Service is friendly, they forgot to charge me for my iced Americano though so I had to tell her. Coffee tastes good, and prices are on par with other cafes read more

Love this cafe! It was my first time hearing about this spot, and I was very pleased with my experience here. I really like how diverse the menu is and how there's a great number of pastries to choose from, too. Matcha Choco Latte: The matcha choco latte was amazing - not too overwhelming and the right amount of sweetness. Almond croissant: The almond croissant was amazing, and lots of filling inside. They offer to heat it up for you as well. Great quality drinks and pastries. The only downside is that there's a bit of a limited amount of seats and not much of a place to work here it's more of a short, quick bite place or a to-go spot. read more

Sunday downtown exploration, this coffee shop showed up on our map on our way to Trinity Bellwoods. Tucked downstairs on John Street, this is a small coffee shop with a few spots for seating and wifi. The menu is nicely designed with a chalk board of all of their drink items and baked goods. I ordered a roasted matcha latte and my husband ordered a flat white. I'm lactose intolerant and they had a variety of alternative Silk brand alternatives from oat milk to almond milk. Roasted matcha was essentially a hojicha latte - I found that there was very little hojicha taste and too much almond milk. The flat white tasted watery as well. Although the drinks missed the mark for us, the customer service was incredible, the cafe was spotless & clean and the cafe had a lot of customers. read more

My favourite coffee shop we went to while in town. It's down a side street and kind of hidden - look for the white coffee banner and head down the steps. The coffee was great. Lots of options. The pastries were delicious, the almond chocolate croissant was great and they offered to warm them up - not over heat them! Service was good. Would recommend. read more

Daily Dose Coffee Bar is located on John St. between Adelaide and Richmond where they've replaced the old Dark Horse Espresso location. The coffee shop is located in the basement level of the building where there are a few steps to navigate to reach the entrance. The bar has limited seating where there are some bar stools spread throughout. The café serves a variety of beverages including coffees and teas. There are also baked goods available for purchase. I stopped by Daily Dose Coffee Bar on a Thurs afternoon after work. Service was friendly and my beverage was made at a reasonable time. I opted to get the flat white (single shot) with oat milk. However, if you'd like to substitute for oat milk, the cost is $1.25 (a bit high to be honest). My beverage was quite hot but it was made well. Service was friendly. Overall, good location and friendly staff. read more
