What a cute coffee Shop. We came by post brunch to indulge in some warm beverages. They were very kind enough to warm up milk for a friends baby despite being busy. The menu consists of many options We tried a variety of different beverages in their patio at the back. read more

A local neighbourhood spot located on a smaller street near Roncesvalles. We came to pick up coffee, tea, and a pastry - there was a small selection, but we both enjoyed the pain au chocolat. We also picked up a bottle of amber wine before we left. Frozen entrees, meats, and some pantry staples were also available. There was outdoor and indoor seating. Street parking is available. read more

Nice matcha latte. Good service. Chairs are a little uncomfortable but it's a nice vibe.

I want to love it but the service is either great or rude/snooty and once they had a great Lambrusco wine and so, even though it's not in my hood, I stop in whenever I'm riding by. . . and it's rarely there so I get something else. Yesterday, there was a different Lambrusco I'd never seen. I should've known better as the cork was regular and not for carbonated. Anyway, I just wanted to warn people to NOT buy that wine. It's a lot of money for a flat, stale wine. You can get a better wine at the wine rack (at least it will be fresh.) Don't buy the Lambrusco with the image of the man on the label! Just a public service announcement. Cute place and good to have in the neighbourhood. If there was one in my area (the junction) I would shop there. read more

Great looking coffee shop. Smelled like freshly baked carrot muffins when I went in. Only minor critique would be that the seating inside could be a bit more comfortable. Apart from that, 5/5! read more

There are about 3 stores and i went to the one on souraren street.. seems like the place is very old but then very well organized at the same time. Love the display they had of the house made baked goods.. not just the looks but also the taste was amazing! Also not to forget their coffee is delicious. I would love to go back again, when i am in the area. The staff was nice and courteous and did the orders in a timely fashion. Also they have patio which is very good. Happy to see this place being away from the busy city traffic read more

I Deal Coffee - a croissant and a cup of coffee - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If you're cruising down Sorauren Avenue and are in dire need of a coffee fix (because who isn't these days?), pop into I Deal Coffee. This no-frills neighborhood shop is a staple for a java break any day of the week. I Deal Coffee prides itself on sustainable business practices from sourcing its beans to baked goods. Try the "cowgirl cookie" -- a deliciously addictive cookie with a little bit of everything. Even the milk, honey and maple syrup are supplied by local small businesses. With two other locations - one in Kensington Market and one on Ossington Avenue - it's become a Toronto coffee institution. In addition to top quality Americanos, lattes and freshly roasted beans, I Deal Coffee has an impressive selection of organic, wild fermented, sustainable, vegan, skin-contact and biodynamic wines available for delivery during COVID-19. read more

I didn't realize there was more than one location. This location is hiding in the residential area on Sauren. I came here after dark and it had the nice glowing light thing going on which makes for a really nice atmosphere. Most of the people were here working. The coffee/pastry combination is pretty good. Had a hot chocolate and muffin which were unavailable at the usual location I go to. This location is cozy and fits around 20 people plus some outdoor seating. Location is accessible and no high chairs. WiFi tested at 16/5. I don't see any electrical power outlets but I think at least one person has their laptop charging. I really like the atmosphere here, conducive to working for me. Will be back! read more

Ideal place for a cup of tasty coffee as well as for working. I Deal's great coffee selection and tasty bread sandwiches would be the menu highlights. The place is clean with very cool vibe and calm atmosphere. Definitely one of the best places in the neighbourhood. read more

As a non-coffee drinker I feel funny reviewing a coffee place, but I can at least tell you the following: - The music is great and a good volume for conversation or work. - The baked goods are bloody tasty. - The hot chocolate is bloody tasty. - The vibe is casual, stylish, and inclusive. read more

I Deal Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love the location on Sorauren... coffee shops on residential streets make me feel like I'm in Brooklyn NY. Awesome coffee. We love taking a pound of beans home because they're delicious. Some cookies, scones and muffins that are pretty decent too. They have sandwiches, but I've never tried them. Just a few tables, but they are big, and they often end up being communal with laptop-users working away independently. Love the coffee, and love that they are NOT cash-only! read more

3 stars. I went into this place with low expectations considering I have been to another location and wasn't very impressed (you can read my review on the other one in my reviews). As a result of going in with low expectations I was pleasantly surprised with all that this place offers. I don't know why this place seems completely different than the other location, but this one is good. It is not the biggest place in the world, but there is enough seating for people including a nice outdoor patio. Although there is enough seating, there could be even less because it feels a little cramped to be truly honest. One of the greatest pluses of this place is the location. An absolute gem of a spot to put a coffee shop. Right in the middle of a residential neighbourhood just south of Dundas is great to say the least. The coffee, as expected; the taste overall seems to be lacking that punch I am looking for when I have an espresso based beverage, but it is still good nonetheless. The selection of goods is pretty good and they have sandwiches available as well. If I lived in this neighbourhood down the street, I would probably come here, but it is not a place to go out of your way to visit. It really doesn't have that wow factor to bring in people from all over the city. This place was average to just above average. Not the worst, not the best, but great for the local neighbourhood. That's it! read more

No matter how the cookie and coffee was good, I thought that the mandatory indoor masking is also for staff. Especially considering they handle all the beverages and food. read more

I love this location, it is small but it's bustling with neighbourhood locals! The benches and table outside is great on sunny days and neighbour watching Friendly vibe, nothing pretentious. Enjoyed my afternoon with a butter croissant and a Flat White. Noticed a lot of people purchasing beans as well They have empanadas but didn't notice the till I paid (fridge to the side). Will need to come back for that! read more

I Deal Coffee - Patio scene - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is an intimate Café nestled in the residences of Parkdale. The light ambiance of indie rock in the background and the quiet traffic of coffee goers makes the Sorauren location a perfect study or work hideaway. I was able to catch up on reading without having to put in headphones to drown out conversations. There is a great selection of local roasts, yummy treats (gluten free cookies and muffins available) and even a soup, sandwich and salad menu. As an avid tea drinker, I'd like to see the menu include more variety of loose leaf selections. The choices currently include two variations of chai, green tea and the traditional herbal selections of peppermint and chamomile. I'll be back to try the gluten free sweets next time. read more

I Deal Coffee - Coffee bar. - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

4.5/5. Very glad that I discovered this place. It really ticks off all the boxes for what I look for in a local cafe: Quality, character, and good service. Food options are also plentiful, and many items are supplied by local vendors. The front patio is great when the sun's out, and even from the other side of the window you always get a great show of dogs interacting with one another and babies in strollers giggling at said interactions. Only quibble would be that it can get quite warm in there. read more

A nice and quiet cafe hidden in a beautiful neighbourhood. They have vegan options which is awesome. I had an iced latte with almond milk which I thought was okay. It tasted a bit sour for some reason. For $5.00 I found it expensive. read more

Love this space and they offer an amazing roast. The cowgirl cookies are delicious too.

What a cute place! It's nice because its not on the main road so it's really quiet. The place is filled with fun and interesting quotes by Gregory Alan Elliott, and there is a nice little area out front where you can sit as well as large windows for sun indoors. The prices are very reasonable and if you buy a pound of coffee they give you a free drink. I got a sandwich, it was decent but not amazing, but solid. My americano was good, too. If I lived in the area this would totally be my regular weekend coffee spot! read more

What nice cozy spot! Was staying at an Airbnb down the street and stopped for a morning coffee and muffin that were perfect. Great service. Would recommend. read more

I was surprised to find that Balluchon Raymond Inc. was closed and in place of it was another i deal coffee location. As expected of an i deal coffee cafe, it was super packed when I arrived. I contemplated on leaving because it was so full, but luckily a seat freed up before I did. Compared to Balluchon, they changed the layout of the cafe just a bit. There were more tables and chairs to accommodate to the number of customers, though they kept the exposed brick walls and counter the same. They also have a patio open during the warmer weather as well. You can find the standard i deal coffee menu here and their typical offerings. If you are a fan of i deal coffee and is in Roncesvalles, definitely take a look at this location. read more

Cozy residential area. Fast service and polite. But the wifi is "not for public for now" despite a paying customer? Signal looked strong to me. read more

Visited this in 2013 when it was Balluchon, and again in 2016 as part of the Indie Coffee Passport. iDeal (I deal, Ideal, never got the friggin name of this chain) took over Balluchon and has done a good job of keeping it up. The venue is beautiful. The ceiling, the floor, the exposed brick wall. 5* for ambience alone. The coffee is average. Not bad, but not awe-inspiring either. read more

HOOKED on their roast! Their cafes are all over, even Ottawa. This is the best. I recommend the cowgirl cookie. They're not giving out the recipe - I asked. Accessible street parking with an art studio next door and boutiques, grocers along the busy street running parallel. read more

This is one of my favorite cafes in Toronto. Sitting in the window first thing in the morning is a great way to start the day. The coffee is good, of course, as coffee from Ideal is always good. I wish they had larger mugs for "for here" coffee. There's usually good treats, although sometimes they arrive from the bakery a little later in the morning than I arrive. They have sandwiches but I've never tried them. Prairie Boy bakery bakes their bread in the back, so you can leave with a still-warm loaf of Winnipeg Rye. (Do this.) It can get a little crowded sometimes, and the table layout along the pews is kind of awkward for sharing tables, but everyone in this neighbourhood is so friendly that it all works out. The staff are very nice, and if you go there even occasionally regularly you'll probably be recognized. It's nice to be treated like a regular. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait for coffee because there's usually only one person working. Good wifi, lots of plugs available. You're allowed to unplug the strings of lights if you need to. Also, the antique wood walk-in refrigerator that takes up 1/4 of the shop is beautiful. read more

Cute little cafe that would be wonderful to work at, and right near a couple of parks, making for easy caffeination before taking your pooch or child for a wander. I've been to their Ossington location a couple of times and enjoy their coffee, however this location warrants only 2 stars. My dad and I walked up to the counter and waited while the barista finished what she was doing. No eye contact, greeting or acknowledgement of our existence. Still, we waited patiently. When it came to our turn to order, no smile or acknowledgement of our wait. Oh well. I chalked it up to not having the best of days. I ordered a latte with almond milk and my dad got the chai latte. The drinks came quickly, and as we turned to leave, the barista realized that she had my drink with regular milk, and quickly fixed it. I appreciated that I didn't have to find that out on my own. I figured that I'd give her an extra star for this. I took a sip of my latte and grimaced - the espresso hadn't been pulled properly, resulting in a bitter beverage. Keen to get out of there, I didn't ask for it to be remade, and figured I'd get my hit of caffeine regardless of the taste. I did my best, but the drink tasted awful, and for the first time in my life, I threw away my latte. Bleurgh. Important note: my dad enjoyed his chai latte immensely. Could be that the barista wasn't having the best of days, but if the management is reading this, I recommend a refresher on customer service and espresso making. For you Yelpers, if you're in this part of Roncy and really need a coffee, sure, go on in. Otherwise, walk to the main drag and go to Lit Espresso for consistently good caffeinated beverages! read more

Love the coffee beans to take home. But..... Was almost turned away the other day because I didn't have cash and didn't reach their four dollar minimum to use a card!!! They let me off with a "warning" that next time I need to reach 4 dollars if I want to use a card. Never heard of this before! It was a real turn off as if I was inconveniencing them to give them my business. The staff are friendly if they recognize you. It takes them a while to warm up I guess. Despite the weird vibes from the baristas I do like the coffee and ambiance. Bring cash tho! read more

I enjoyed my I Deal experience. The iced espresso was very smooth. The peanut butter cookie was pretty yummy (but too sweet). I appreciated that they didn't play blasting music. However, I would have liked to see more music variety. Can't decide if the staff are friendly or not. read more
