Fahrenheit Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

After reading all of the great reviews on this place, I couldn't believe I hadn't visited yet! I saw on Instagram (@latteliving) that they were on the shortlist for Now Toronto's Reader's Choice Award and decided to visit the next day. As soon as I walked in, the two baristas working there started up conversation right away. They were friendly and really helpful. I got a cortado for the first time in my life because I had a feeling it would be amazing. I wasn't disappointed. Before ordering, I was asked which beans I wanted my coffee to be made with. There were three choices. I ended up getting the ones he recommended. He also asked for milk choice. It was ready before I knew it, in a glass cup, with a pretty design on top. The first sip was different to me, because I always get lattes of course, which are sweeter. But, right away I got used to it and really appreciated the great taste of the coffee. Well done. There was a standard bitterness, without being sour or burnt. They made sure to check that my cortado was good. (It's amazing!) They also have water and cups at the side, both free and "for 10c a cup" which made me chuckle. All in all, great coffee, great atmosphere, and great baristas. They're definitely doing it right. I'll be back! read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - Pretty cortado. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We walked into this tiny (but really cute) place and all the employees were bursting at the seams with happiness! They all welcomed us with shouts of joy and one guy was even wearing a banana suit. I guess it was the shop's birthday and they were giving out drinks for free all day!! We were stunned and it took me a second to figure out my drink. They helped me figure out what I'd like best and then made it quickly, offering me different toppings for my chai tea. Needless to say, their energy made our day and we left a big tip. read more

Drip coffee was way too spicy, think it was an Ethiopian blend. Didn't taste like coffee at all, tasted more like some kind of tea. Not my thing. If you want normal flavored coffee this may not be your place. Pastries were good. Pricy. No bathroom at this location and tiny space, not much seating and seating is not comfortable. Accepts cards. Cool clock on the wall. read more

Best Coffee. Best Baristas. What More Can You Ask For? I usually opt for the Diablo Bean if getting a flat white or americano. Drip coffee is very tasty as are the tea's. If your checking out the St.Lawrence Market its worth the walk up a few blocks! Enjoy :) read more

Very special and creative coffee shop. I had Gera bean Americano, it was like a wake up call at afternoon of mid-summer, fresh&clear&homy. read more

Recently, I've become an avid coffee drinker. I've started grinding my own beans and using an Aeropress to make my own cup of coffee every morning. I was scanning through Yelp one day and came across Fahrenheit. At $12/half pound of STRAWBERRY hinted coffee beans, I knew that these beans must be exceptional and I had to visit. The baristas were super nice and friendly. They quickly explained the different beans and such. I opted for the Ethopia beans - they have a hint of strawberry. The packaging even has the roast dates on them, so you know they're fresh af. With each purchase of beans, you get a free americano or espresso - I chose the iced americano and it was really good. While waiting for my drink I asked the barista if he had any tips/tricks with the aeropress (b/c I'm a noob) and he gave me some good advice (i.e. using the stirring rod to gently breakup the clumps). Also, I noticed that they grind a crapton of beans/cup - 32g as opposed to the recommended 16g - just goes to show that they don't skimp out on their coffee. Over the past few days, I've been grinding up these beans, and they've allowed me to make the most delicious cups of coffee I've ever had. I use a medium grind then brew with 80 degree celcius water over 1 1/2 minutes using the Aeropress inverted method. The beans are amazing; I will be back. read more

This is pretty much the best coffee I've had outside of Seattle and a few spots like Philz in San Francisco. Just fantastic job pulling the shots and (if you want) educating you about the various types of coffee that they have. Plus even though I've only been there less than 10 times in 3 different trips they actually recognize me now. Highly recommended for coffee, and in a pinch, a panini. read more

Let's talk espresso for a minute. Fahrenheit Coffee is just what you need (and don't know it yet) when it comes to first-rate coffee. This little café located on The Esplanade boasts large windows, a wrap-around bar and only 5 bar stools, mainly for you to sit and enjoy your espresso, macchiato, or cortado. There is no fussing around with wi-fi or an outlet to plug in your computer to write your novel. Fahrenheit is the place you come for a delicious espresso-based beverage and perhaps a coffee-talk with the knowledgeable owner, Sameer! Fahrenheit is using Te Aro Roasted coffee, as well as Sameer's own personal espresso blend, "Diablo." Diablo will be a welcomed addition to your life, I assure you. Sameer's 7+ years of hands-on coffee experience and his unsurpassed knowledge have provided him with the tools to create one of the smoothest, well balanced shot's of espresso I've had. As the taste lingers in your mouth you'll be longing for more. Rich and creamy, it also pairs beautifully with milk. Regardless of where you live, making the trek to The Esplanade for a little Fahrenheit love is a necessity. Note: Closed on Sunday's. They're also serving up cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate (a huge hit with all the kiddies at the school next door) tea, and pastries from our good friends at Circles +Squares bakery Honourable Mentions: - Location, location, location! Right across the street from a park, just west of the beautiful Historic Distillery District, a stone's throw from the St. Lawrence Market. - No 'drip' coffee: Only the finest espresso and espresso-based creations; perhaps a Chemex, or two, to spice things up!

What an amazing cafe in Toronto!!! The menu is small and simple if you're used to a Starbucks, but the difference is in the quality. You get to pick your beans with each drink, and they have 3 options to choose from. We both picked the Brazil, as it had notes of peanut butter in it. The end result was probably the silkiest and smoothest mocha I have ever had. Expertly crafted with beautiful latte art on top. If I lived in Toronto, I would come here everyday. The prices were awesomely affordable, too! We didn't try any baked goods, but they really all looked amazing. The workers were super friendly. The place is tiny, though, with maybe only 8 chairs, and even then it's a bit cramped. However we took ours to-go, so it was all good. If you're looking for an awesome coffee joint, I think this is definitely a place to check out! read more

So when I came to Toronto for the weekend I made it my mission to visit as many of the coffee shops as I could, and I would say I did a pretty good job of that. Out of the 5 we made it to over the weekend Fahrenheit Coffee was by far my favorite, and for a lot of different reasons. Firstly the barista's were the nicest I have probably ever met. While we were in line I witnessed him happily explain all of the different drinks to the people in front of us in such a helpful way. When we ordered he took general interest in striking up conversation and it was really nice. After getting coffee we continued to talk with him for a little bit about or weekend, coffee, and photography and it was overall just a really pleasant experience. After we left I decided that we would come back the day we left to stock up on coffee before the long drive back to Michigan. When we came back a couple days later the same barista remembered our names and was just seemed very excited to chat and ask about or weekend, it was incredible. For locals that have to pleasure of being able to be regulars here you should feel blessed. Secondly, the coffee was outstanding. I would say where I live its relatively rare to find a place that offers cortado's and rarer still to find a place that does them well. Faranheit's cortado was spot on. We had taken some beans to go as well and I thought that they were well roasted and I enjoyed them thoroughly at home. read more

I am so excited about this place! Finally, a no nonsense espresso bar in the St Lawrence Market / Corktown area. No cream cheese bagels here, only tasty espresso drinks. read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - Delicious, no too sweet, mocha. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I finally did! It was smaller than I expected, but all of the hype I had heard about this place was definitely true. Simple decor and bar-height benches with stools to seat maybe 10 people max (very European, which I loved), not to mention an awesome gear clock that I just could not stop staring at! The staff were really friendly and helpful. They were patient when it came to explaining what the differences between certain drinks were, and they weren't pretentious or obnoxious about it, the way some staff can be in some nicer cafes. I came with family and we ordered a latte, a cappuccino, a cortado, a macchiato, and some snacks between the 4 of us. I tried all of them, and they were out of this world! The staff also gave us a choice of bean (there were three choices), explained what the differences were between them, and what their recommendations were as well. I can't mention how great the staff were. As a coffee lover and general chatty/curious guy, I was asking them all kinds of questions, and even though they were busy with customers, they were able to answer my questions and were super nice. Fahrenheit also offers barista classes once a month or so, which I'm hoping to check out in the near future. Overall, the quality of the coffee was superb, the cookies and snacks were delicious and unique (I recommend the "kitchen sink" cookie), and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is nice, simple, and it can become quite packed when there is a line of customers, but the more the merrier in my opinion! read more

Awesome service!!!! Their espresso tastes extremely smooth, and I got complementary gluten free matcha almond cookie, which I would definitely get next time I'm there. The service was truly wonderful. The two men that were working at the time put a huge smile on my face, they were playing really lively music, I felt like I was on vacation on a resort (only to walk back to the office right after lol..) they were extremely kind and so energizing - it made the rest of my day :) read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - Americano with almond milk mmmm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were in Toronto for only 3 days, but my husband and I went out of our way to go here because we have never tasted espresso from a champion barista before. We thought we would drop by for a quick latte before driving out and ended up staying 3 hours just chatting with the wonderful baristas and trying different espresso drinks till we could vibrate across the floor instead of walking. The drinks we sampled ruined us to all other coffee shops. Sameer is more than an artist, he's a scientist. He talked us through tasting various espresso, explained the chemistry behind different beans, This is a must try! read more

Tourist to Toronto but instantly felt like a local at this little gem. Baristas are insanely friendly, immediately disarming and very considerate. I ordered a latte and settled down with some work to do. In my corner I could hear the baristas welcoming every customer by name. Upon finishing my latte and debating another, I was surprised to find my new friend Allen with another artisan latte, on the house! A bit later, he was back with a glass of water and a smile. Everything about this shop is perfect. I'll be back tomorrow. read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - Brazil americano misto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I would have picked 6 stars if I could. This coffee experience is amazing. From the bold flavours of their select roasts to the subtle flavour notes they describe as you enjoy your favourite beverage, their coffee is yet to be beat in my mind. While the coffee is the best I've tasted, it is not the only reason I go to Fahrenheit. Every time I enter, I'm greeted by one of the baristas or Sameer (the owner) engaging me as soon as the door opens. Lively music, the occasional staff karaoke performance to the tunes in the background, and attention to detail and quality with everything they serve, makes each trip to Fahrenheit memorable. Whether I'm there for 2 minutes to grab an americano to go, or to read the paper and enjoy a cortado--a must try--each experience is top shelf. #sorrystarbucks...I've been converted... read more

Wow! This coffee joint is worth checking out. I love that they have beans "on tap" allowing customers to select which type of bean they want for their caffeine of choice. I went with the diablo for my cortado - its bold, its rich, it has a hint of mocha - everything a gal could ask for in a drink. What makes this place extra special is the staff - funny, attentive and energetic. If the caffeine doesn't wake you up, the staff will with their wit. Great decor too - I want to steal their clock. Could use more seating and greater food options (food is limited to scones, muffins and cookies). If you love coffee, you'll love this place! read more

Small coffee shop but has the most delicious coffee!! Had the Brazil in the form of a latte and was blown away by how smooth it was!!! The place is tiny with no more than 10 seats with limited table space, so it's definitely more of a pick up and go type of place. If you're lucky to find a free spot, the decor is simple and quite bright. However, there are so many people coming in and out so it might be hard to have a conversation. They also have water at the side for sit in guests to enjoy, which I thought was a nice bonus. read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The best of the best of the best. It is seriously one of the best coffee places in the world. They take their craft seriously. They are courteous, diligent and methodical. It is the best place in Canada, and quite possibly the World. read more

Traveling from New York to see the Rangers beat up the leafs we found this gem of a coffee shop. With Tons of Tim hortwhocares and starsucks around we decided to try this place because we read they make art work out of your fresh gourmet caffeine intake. If your in downtown Toronto area check it out for your morning jolt. Alan the artist is both helpful and skilled. Try the panda cappuccino and the croissant! read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - There cappuccino is BEARY good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fahrenheit Coffee is a small cafe that makes some some of the meanest cappuccinos and pulls delicious espresso. They get their beans roasted by Te Aro and have their own "Diablo" espresso blend that is exclusive to Fahrenheit only. Say Hi to Sameer - he's the owner and one of the best baristas in all of Ontario! read more

Fahrenheit is like the bar Cheers except instead of serving booze the create some of the best tasting coffee in the city. Seriously, they win the NOW and Barista awards like every year. You can see these awards when you visit Fahrenheit. Here are the things you need to know - - The coffee is outstanding. - The have truly scrumptious muffins and scones and when you order one they always heat it up to the perfect melt in your mouth temp. - The guys that work there are amazing. They are turbo friendly and typically have great taste in music. Nothing like disco first thing in the morning!! It's a small space but absolutely perfect with everything it does. That's it, you now know about Fahrenheit, now go make friends with the baristas, you're gonna want to. read more

Small coffee shop with about 8 chairs. There are some items "on tap" with different types of espresso beans you can pick for your lattes or mochas. I chose the Ethiopian one for the latte and the Brazil one for the mocha. The mocha one is delicious! Tasted like a medium blend so not too dark or bitter. The sweetness level was perfect without any sugar. The latte was very good too, but mocha is still on top. read more

I went back here this weekend and had a pretty great time. The staff are friendly, the cafe was busy but the line moved quickly, and our soy lattes were delicious. I still love this place, and I still wish I was closer to them because I'd drink their coffee more often. Staff are so nice, and seem to like working there and with each other. That makes a huge difference to the whole coffee experience. There are no vegan baked goods, but it doesn't matter, because their coffee is good enough to stand alone. (though you know... I wouldn't be sad if there was a vegan cookie or two someday...) read more

I had heard about the hype of this place, and wanted to check it out for some time. I have to say, getting here is not the easiest part, as it's out of the way from my usual stomping grounds, but it was well worth it. When you walk in, you are instantly greeted by the friendly (almost overly friendly if that's possible!) staff, and they make you feel right at home. There was a line up even at noon when I came in, and it looks like they have several of their own roasts ready at any one time. I got the dark roast, and had one of their chocolate truffles while I waited. There is one row of window seats and a few island seats, so you better be quick if you want to sit in. I had my coffee to go, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Your experience will likely vary depending on which barista is in at the time. If you don't know their names, don't worry, their portraits are on the blackboard, so make sure to get to know them all. read more

Fahrenheit has great coffee. I like the diablo blend. Please support your local coffee shops!

Disclaimer: I am not a coffee drinker. I can only comment on the atmosphere and service. With that said, Farenheit Coffee made me want to try to get into the caffeinated world! Very small storefront, but such a fun atmosphere. The staff and Sameer gave off such a positive vibe and you could tell they all have a lot of fun at work. I sat there for a few hours doing some research on my laptop and the way they greeted each customer made me wonder if they were friends with all of these people! I stayed til nearly closing when they apparently regularly make fresh chai. They gave me a cup to try (it was so delicious) and Sameer chatted to me about coming back some time and he'll help me ease my way into coffee. Overall, my miserable solitary study date turned into a wonderful time at Farenheit Coffee. Their muffin was pretty yummy too. read more

Airy, light, serious-about-coffee spaces often leave me feeling out of place. I'm not hip enough, not coffee-geek enough, not edgy enough, and I say cool and awesome way to much to be liked. But none of that holds true here. Learning once again, to not judge a book by its caffeinated cover, I found the staff at Fahrenheit to be extremely cool, friendly, and sheesh, they were baking croissants when I arrived. Ye be warned: There's not a whole lot of room to sit, and with it's lack of outlets and the high bar stool seating, it wouldn't be my first choice to crack open my laptop, but to catch up with a friend, dream the world away in a notebook or just stare off into space, you'll feel right at home here. And the coffee - top notch. They know where it's at. Kudos to these hard working guys for making everyone feel like they belong! read more

4.95, if I could. I send everyone who can pronounce an espresso here. Even if you weren't a espresso fan before, the shots this crew serves up change your mind for good. The shots here are perfectly extracted, each sip taking you further away from the troubles on desk. Dairy-free alternatives at no extra charge. Every drink is perfect, every smile is genuine. Paired with baked in store pastry(apple caramel muffins are my go-to). Who could ask for anything more? Why the 0.05? Mostly counter seating makes it hard to set up shop, and the music is a little loud at times... but then again, if that changed, I'd basically live at Fahrenheit. read more

Great on the go place with the smells and sounds of a pleasant coffee stop and go. Great fellows and service. read more

When you do a Yelp search for the best rated place in Toronto, Fahrenheit Coffee is at the top of the list. Which is especially cool when they are literally across the street from your hotel! The staff (two people when I was there) were incredibly friendly, asked me and my friends about our trip(s), made suggestions, and most importantly... made an incredible chai tea latte. It was so subtle, and not at all overly sugary like 99% of the mass produced chai liquid garbage in most coffee houses and/or chains. Possibly the best I've ever had. I also had a muffin that spoke to me on about 12 different levels. It's a tiny place you could very easily miss, but that kind of adds to the charm in my opinion. A place this good exists on reputation, and doesn't need flashy signs and advertisements. read more

Have I honestly never written a review of this place??? It's probably because it's so good I dont' want you to know about it! Coming here for the first time is a treat. It is a beautiful small little place (believe it or not it is bigger than what it was before at the prior location) and the people behind the counter are top notch. You will be introduced to them and they will bother to get to know you and your name. The baristas here are award winning and the espresso delicious. It's that good. read more

First off, I should state that I am really not a coffee drinker. I generally don't like the taste and only save it for occasions where I really need the caffeine buzz. But let's just say that after trying Fahrenheit, I think I might have become a convert. I tried their mocha and it was just so smooth and delicious that I didn't mind for a second that it came to $5 all-in. The guys were really friendly, too. One of them had just ordered his iPhone 5 and was quite excited about that. I will definitely be heading back. read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - Sameer doing his thang - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I come here for the music, and the lattes of course. The music is so wacky and the owner, Sameer, is such a sweetheart. I visit more often when it's warmer, but I still try to make the trek in the cold for a hot one. This cafe celebrates their anniversaries with free coffee, and donates tips to charity. Every time I walk in, the team is always full of smiles and such cozy hospitality. The cafe isn't very large, seats probably 15 people at most. I wish I could fold up this cafe and carry it in my pocket! read more

Fahrenheit Coffee - sexy Sameer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Let me begin by saying that if you are into artisan (non-spigot based) coffee places then you are in for a delight here. Fahrenheit is a stones-throw away from St. Lawrence (you cannot miss the ubiquitous F-cups in everyone's hands around the market) and the baristas here serve some mighty-splendid coffee. We ordered a cappuccino (diablo bean) and the drink was worth the all hysteria on yelp! There are three basic things you need to absolutely have to get right for a cappuccino - extraction, steaming & pour; and these guys nailed all three. Perfectly adorned with a tulip, the cappuccino was served warm (not scalding hot). All in all, Fahrenheit = deliciousness in a cup. And oh by the way, fun at work is not an oxymoron! You'll see what I mean when you meet the baristas here :) read more

This might be my favorite spot for coffee in Toronto, just because it's such a pleasant experience. Everyone who works here is so nice -- I am usually too groggy to really reciprocate, but I hope they understand. They have a good selection of pastries and such. There's a little bar along the window to sit at and wifi while you recaffeinate, but this isn't a spot to hang out and work. read more

I'm usually not a fan of coffee, but the first time I came here two years ago with the coffee passport, I remember thinking, 'wow, the latte is good!!' I happen to be in the area today and went back for a latte, yup, I have to say it is one of the better places! The latte was so so smooth. :) The only drawback is the lack of sitting area. I'd love to bring my friends here but it is usually packed with people. This place is more of a grab and go type, and it is hard when there's no where to go in winter :( read more
