    12oz Jimmy's Very Own (JVO) (~CAD$6)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: 16oz Jimmy's Very Own (JVO) (~CAD$5): vanilla latte with caramel drizzle Aya's take: If you're looking for a warm, soothing, and balanced coffee - this is it! The bitterness of the coffee, the flavors of the vanilla mixed with caramel, and the creaminess made this into a delicious caffeine kick I needed to start my day. I also really liked the cup designs, and something about the yellow lids were super elegant. Plenty of seating at this location. Definitely a good spot to chill, catch up with a friend, or do some work/reading.

    Five stars all the way. My coworker and I were on the hunt for a coffee shop close by after the original one we went to didn't end up having working wifi (of course after we already got a coffee and croissant, grrrr). We found Jimmy's on Yelp and headed straight there. The moment we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile and assured that their wifi was on and working. Feeling relieved, we ordered a drink and found a spot to sit in the seating area towards the back. I went with a classic vanilla latte but with oat milk, iced! While I had already tossed back a coffee that morning, the second one hit the spot for sure. They have a bathroom in the basement that requires a key to get to and a nice little patio in the very back. This was a great spot to work out of for a few hours. I loved the cozy feel, the bookshelf, and the awesome barista.

    Great spot for working/ studying from. Came here with a colleague to get some coffee & wifi! We were nicely greeted by the staff with a friendly smile that reassured us that the wifi was strong and working (it was indeed!). Got a iced vanilla soy latte which was great. Water was available on tap that you were able to get yourself if needed. The atmosphere is what won me over - there were a lot of other people around who were also working away on their laptops during the weekday. It's was quiet in the morning when we arrived and stayed that way up until around noon. Interior was beautiful with a lot of shelving and decor of books. They also have a back patio that was quite large - also great for working out of. The added bonus here is the location. Lots of cute restaurants around in Kensington Market that you can dine from during lunch.

    If you're looking for a great coffee shop with a spacious backyard patio, Jimmy's Coffee is the place for you. The coffee is good, and there's plenty of seating both inside and out. Jimmy's is the perfect place to relax with a book or catch up with friends. I've been going to Jimmy's for years, and it's always been my go-to spot for coffee. The staff is friendly and the coffee is consistently delicious. I highly recommend giving Jimmy's a try - you won't be disappointed!

    Meet up spot for my food tour, but I was early and hung out here in Jimmy's for a bit. It's a popular spot in the vicinity of Kensington Market and so there was a bit of a queue. Eight or so people took about five minutes to get their orders in, which wasn't too bad. Seating inside and outside, but I think there was smoking in the back area. Inside, an eclectic collection of tables and chairs. I caught a seat that had a power outlet nearby while I waited for my coffee. The single espresso was rich and definitely worthy of a caffeine boost. Served in a ceramic cup with enough room for a small daub of cream. Wifi worked well. [Review 11008 overall, 781 of 2019.]

    [Matcha Latte] $4.20 - large, was too bitter for my liking but perhaps you'll enjoy it!
    Claudia K.

    My boyfriend and I stumbled into this place on an early Sunday morning around 9AM. The other cafes nearby either a) were not open yet or b) had terrible service when we inquired about looking at their menus so into Jimmy's we went! What surprised me here is that half of the place is outside! There's a nice patio type of outdoor space that you can enjoy your drinks/baked goods in while still maintaining an excellent coffee shop theme. I thought the outdoor space genuinely made this a beautiful store overall. In addition to that, the service provided by the cashier and the drink-maker was excellent. They had just run out of the coldbrew coffee which my boyfriend ordered so they offered up some alternative suggestions and then immediately went and amended the menu on the wall to display as such as well! My only gripe with this place was that I had ordered a pretty simple drink, a matcha latte.... [MATCHA LATTE] $4.20 - I ordered a large to sip on in the outdoor area and my goodness, this was one of the most bitter things I have ever tasted. I'm not sure if I ordered it incorrectly. I ordered it as a triple which could have meant they used three times the amount of matcha that you're supposed to use but for the life of me, I could not figure out why it tasted like this. Realistically, I probably should have told someone that I didn't enjoy my drink but Jimmy's is not a restaurant, and as such, I don't feel as though they would need to take my drink back and make me a different one. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND this drink if you don't enjoy tasting every single bitter feeling you've ever had in your entire life. Their green onion and cheddar scones looked delicious so perhaps I'll be back to try that given the positives to this place!

    Very friendly baristas and a scrumptious iced chai latte! Beautifully decorated (especially all of the photos of famous men named jim). Overall great experience, will definitely go back!

    We visited the store in Kensington Market and it was extremely busy when we visited. We weren't able to get a seat so we ended up just ordering drinks and using the restroom for a while. The drinks weren't particularly special, but it gave us a chance to recoup.

    I've been going to this place for awhile. So I thought it's about time I wrote this review. This spot in Kensington has incredible outdoor seating in the summer. Wish i could sit there in winter but alas I'll value the warm indoors until spring. This place does get busy. Finding a seat some days can be a real pain. I think they could re tool the seating a bit to make that a little easier. Regardless, it's a comfortable space to work. Plenty of hipster coffee selection as well as Jimmy's merch if you're an ultra fan. I've not had a bad coffee here. Consistent espresso. My favourite afternoon snack has been one of two things: a butter tart or a unicorn poop cookie (delicious sugar cookie action).

    Kept seeing this around Toronto. Stopped for an iced latte. Cost as much as Starbucks and is pretty tasty! However....they don't fill the cup with coffee and according a local-they never do with the iced lattes! But why Jimmy? Why? Basically go to Starbucks for your iced lattes but you can apparently buy hot coffees here.

    3.5 stars... very cool spot to chill on a sunny day This Jimmy's location was such a pleasant surprise. With most spots in Kensington, you're expect smaller or cramped spaces with not a lot of light. Imagine my surprise to walk in and spot a large outdoor patio in the back! Jimmy's is a local coffee brand that has a few spots around Toronto. I would say that out of all the spots I've tried in Kensington, the atmosphere here is definitely a plus. It's chill and relaxed with a lot of varying spaces to sit and enjoy a cup. On a Sunday morning, there was a decent amount of the lap top horde sitting and taking up an entire table. Since they had their patio open, it doubles the sitting space and the back patio is just wonderful. It's clean and has a lot of shaded parts in addition to tables just baking in the sun. The coffee served here is fairly consistent to the other spots I've tried around Toronto. It's solid and above average... they do have seasonal offerings. It seems they were starting to do their cold brew offering. Summer is coming! I stuck to my favourite flat white to determine the flavour of the beans and see if I like it a lot. Service here was quicker than their Ossington spot as they had 3 people behind the counter working the cash or pulling the shots. I think their prices are very fair as well. You won't feel gouged when you pay. You do have to pay extra for things like Almond milk but I think it was only $0.50 extra. So very reasonable. Flat White - This was not a real flat white as the drink is definitely sweetened or had some sort of syrup added. This was a bit of a surprise. I also noticed that the foam was overfrothed and the actual drink itself was not very hot. Aside from these details, I found the drink fairly enjoyable for a flavoured coffee drink. The coffee taste wasn't so bold but it wasn't acidic either... though hard to tell with it being sweetened. I wouldnt think this is the best cup in Kensington but if it's the price to pay to sit in a nice back patio, it would be worth it. 3/5 Overall, the space in the summer is a great spot to be in if you just want to chill in Kensington for a while. I can imagine this getting really full of people once June hits. Hopefully if I come back, I can still snag a seat.

    Chocolate & Espresso Scone
    Mariko M.

    My friend and I went for Dim Sum in Chinatown so was in the area. I wanted my caffeine fix along with something sweet so we wandered around Kensington. As it was January 1st, most if not all shops were closed; however, Jimmy's Coffee was open! It's quite clean for a shop in Kensington; JC also has character so the decor is not like your cookie cutter chain coffee shop. As you enter, you can check out unique JC products including beanies, coffee makers, and coffee beans named after famous Jimmy's (Hoffa, Hendrix, Dean). If you want something more than coffee, they also serve Pluck teas and various baked goods. I enjoyed a chocolate + espresso scone, which was pretty amazing. The latte I ordered was quite good as well; it was a one shot latte that managed to be strong. Lastly, the service was excellent. If I had to work on New Year's, I'm certain that I would have been grumpy. Anyway, they were personable and friendly. Good for: coffee/tea, hang outs, studying

    Hip space located in the centre of Kensington Market. Excellent selection of baked goods, juices, drinks and coffees to choose from. Staff is approachable and organized despite the usually long lineups. On a good day, head to the back of the store and find a seat on their outdoor patio. Its a great vibe, and an oasis in Kensington market. The walls contain artwork featuring all the great Jimmy's. (Hendricks and Morrison) and an old Vespa with blown out tires makes for a European mood when you enter. Coffees are reasonably priced.

    Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab…read morea hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

    This pains me to write but I have to. I love Neo coffee! It's one of the best ones in the city…read more However, I recently visited to try their ube latte and doesn't even begin to cover it. I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family
