Jimmy's is a local Toronto chain with good solid espresso drinks, friendly, barista's and cool buildings. I'm very happy they no longer charge for alternative milk! The one on Gerrard and Bay Street is my favorite. It's in a multilevel historical building and has a lot of chairs and tables to sit at inside the building and even outside in the courtyard. They they have various syrups like pumpkin and different flavors to add, but I just get lattes with little cinnamon in the cup and lactose free milk. If you wanna buy a bag of beans, they have several different flavor profiles all named after different historical Jimmy's. read more

I used to go to this jimmys often but since they've increased the prices in Jan I just don't find it worth it anymore. I usually get the flat white or a latte but lately it's been kind of inconsistent so I never know if it'll be good or not it's a very nice cafe with seating upstairs but not stroller friendly. read more

Who knew Jimmy's was a shabby home till it was converted to a cute coffee shop. The cutest cafe with exposed brick, fluorescent paint and lovely pics adorning their walls. Wonderful place with absolutely delicious coffee. There's multiple levels of seating so don't get fooled by the small space as soon as you get in. I discovered the hole in the wall while exploring downtown by foot and I immediately fell in love with the cozy corner, delicious coffee and amazing ginger molasses cookie. Tried for the first time, this cookie was a keeper. Jimmy is right beside Tim Hortons so we definitely missed it on our 1st day. Totally worth hanging out and enjoying some delicious goodies with good old coffee. read more

I've lived in Toronto for 20 years and drink plenty of coffee, so I know a good cup when I taste one. Jimmy's Coffee is now my favourite local chain. The coffee is consistently delicious, the service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is chill. I recommend trying a medium cappuccino made with almond milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. read more

The ambiance is really chill. I got two cold brews and both taste fantastic. Wife really enjoyed hers made exactly to order. Staff was wonderful, polite and easy to interact with. read more

It's a nice and cute place to spend your afternoon there. The place was small and quiet but not too crowded, with large tables which are suitable for remote working or preparing for school exams. Their coffee smells good and you could customize it with oak milk or almond milk, depending on your preference. It also has a tiny backyard where you could grab a seat and relax. Try it and let me know if you like it! read more

Been going here for a long time (surprised I've not reviewed it). Staff is generally great. Décor like most Jimmy's locations is earthy and warm. Downstairs is great for a short stay or chatting with friends. Upstairs is more work oriented. One of the better Jimmy's locations that I've been to (they have massively expanded recently) and one is the better cafe locations in general in Toronto. read more

Desserts, smoothies, juices. The choice is not big, but tasty. Very tasty coffee (large selection of syrups). Large area, 3 floors, very quiet and comfortable. Friendly staff. read more

1. Coffee and lattes are top notch, limited syrup selection but you can't go wrong with a classic caramel or vanilla. Great alternative milk selection. 2. Bakery items are good, I wish they had a toaster oven or microwave available as they are served straight from the case. Out of the 4 items we tried, the lemon raspberry scone was the best. 3. Staff at jimmy's are kind and welcoming! read more

While staying in Toronto, I came in here three times. Their Oatmilk Latte is delicious, very smooth and tastes like real milk latte. I really enjoyed every sip of it. Also, I've tried a couple of different bars, and my favorite was the one with coconut and condensed milk. Also I am very impressed with the service and the speed of making coffee drinks: very fast and super friendly. The atmosphere is very welcoming and chill. Guys did great job with using metal spoons for adding sugar or milk to minimize the consumption of plastic and carton. There's a cosy patio in the back and several tables for 2-3 people, also there're many benches installed. Amazing place and tasty coffee read more

I went to Jimmy's coffee twice I liked it so much! The vibe is very laid back. There were multiples levels of the building for seating. It was a Sunday morning so a little busy especially because only one person was working. I got a purple haze iced tea (so fun!) and a vegan peanut butter banana muffin - DELICIOUS. My dad enjoyed his coffee and croissant as well. read more

Jimmy's Coffee - chai tea with oat milk & coffee with almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My first time here and ordered a medium hot chocolate. It's not too sweet but tastes more milky with a hint of chocolate. Definitely different from say Starbucks' hot chocolate which hits you with stronger chocolate taste, which I prefer more. In terms of service, it was average. They made my order quite quickly and I did not experience any "racism" that a few users have addressed below. The baristas seemed like your every day regular people. It has a homey feel to it with the decor like the bookcase and big wooden tables on the second floor. It is hard to find a seat although they have around 18 seats upstairs since it seems like people come here in twos or fours to catch up or group study. It can get a little loud since the crowd is mixed between those who want quiet and those who want to chat. Would come here again and try their teas next time. read more

First and foremost, I absolutely love Jimmy's coffee and have been a regular purchaser of their beans for the last 3 yrs at the McCaul location. That one is consistently the best grind and service - five stars. Now this location, at Gerrard, I avoid. Sometimes I make the lazy mistake to purchase beans here because it's on my way...but each time I am reminded why I avoid it. Time and time again they can't grind the beans as requested which is in the purchase of their beans. For somewhat pricy coffee, as this is, it should be done correctly. Perhaps it's because I don't tip them for the shitty grind and expensive coffee? Yeah, never again at this location! You don't deserve my business. read more

I was craving a matcha latte and I decided to come here after class. I got a chive and cheese(?) scone and it was pretty good while the matcha latte was a tab bit diluted even though I saw her make it. I think either there was not enough powder added to it or it was not thoroughly mixed but it did taste a bit better after adding syrup to it. This location had multiple floors but were all full with people at around lunchtime. read more

Jimmy's Coffee is conveniently located minutes away from the Ryerson Student Learning Centre (SLC), Yonge & Dundas Square, and the Greyhound Bus Terminal. I stopped by here briefly while waiting for my friends and enjoyed some coffee and baked goods. Here's a very brief rundown: Food: I got a black coffee and raspberry scone. I'm typically not a fan of baked goods but this raspberry scone tasted superb. It wasn't too sweet, crumbly, or overpowering with the tartness of he raspberry. Overall, this went well with the black coffee that I had. There's a Tim Hortons right by this Jimmy's Coffee and with confidence, I can say that this coffee was miles better than any Tim Hortons coffee that I've ever had. Atmosphere: This place is great for studying or catching up with friends. The first floor is meant for casual conversations while the upper two floors are more for quiet study spaces/ chill vibes. Service: Unfortunately, I came in the morning when this place was PACKED! The lineup wrapped outside the place and it was an inconvenience as customers waiting in line around the door/ stairs area would be in the way of people who were heading out (it's kind of cramped around that area). Because of the nature of the line, there was a barista who was asking customers who were in line what they'd want to order. For regulars, this is good, but newcomers like me didn't know what to order by the time the barista came to me (I couldn't see the menu from where I was). Regardless, the service was friendly and for the rush that they were experiencing, the employees dealt with it in a productive manner. Price: Pretty standard for pricing. The coffee isn't too overpriced and slightly more expensive than your regular Timmies. The scone was decently priced as well. The whole order came to just under $5, which was decent for a light breakfast. Verdict: Overall, excellent place to study and the coffee and scones are great conversation food. This place is a great alternative to your Tim Hortons which is just around the block. However, if you want to avoid the morning rush, I would come much later or very early. The only downside of this place is that it does get busy with a lot of customers and you might experience a long lineup. read more

Jimmy's Coffee - Medium coffee with a raspberry scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Finally a decent place to drink coffee in this area. I wasn't aware if this chain of cafes so when a fellow Yelper recently gave a rave review I was intrigued. I ordered a cappuccino so here is the verdict Espresso: Medium to strong Crema': Decent Milk: Frothed well Latte Art: None Also one is given the number of shots one wants in the drink so that's plus if you want a lot of caffeine. I would say 3.5 stars. I also tried the maple scone which was kind of simple and forgettable (though I am not a big fan of those). 3,5 Stars. read more

Chill little coffee spot. The drink options are decent. Seems like they have recurring customers and some open areas to work from. Heads up that the bakery food item selection was limited and they didn't have the option to heat them if that's something that's important to you. read more

Good coffee but not much else. The amount of DUST in this building has to be a health code violation. Just because you're going for a vintage vibe does not mean you have to keep things so dirty and dingy. The upstairs seating makes no sense. There's like 5 seats downstairs and a whole room above designated for a "quiet area" where customers can self-consciously eat their croissants in utter silence in a stuffy, dimly lit room. You're lucky if the one seat next to an outlet is available. The planks on the wooden bench shift if anyone else sitting on the bench even moves a muscle. I almost get the feeling they don't want people to stay for too long considering how UNCOMFORTABLE the environment is. My advice: Just get your coffee and go! read more

I love the coffee here especially the iced latte, I cannot taste any acidity of the coffee and the milk perfectly blends with the coffee without standing out too much. read more

After 4 years of living Toronto, I finally ventured to Jimmy's Coffee. I now understand why Torontonians love this chain so much! I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk and a chocolate espresso scone for the morning. The latte was splendid - it was not too sweet, and verrrry frothy. I was also pleasantly surprised at how flavourful the scone was! Although I could not detect any hints of coffee, I would definitely get again. I had a great first experience and I see myself returning for more work/study sessions! read more

It's a small coffee shop with a nice amount of space, including upstairs, for your seating and working pleasure. The hits: + The espresso is rich and tasty + A special signature drink on the menu is an orange zest latte. Don't see that often, but coffee and orange is a tasty mix. Unique. + They have a small patio out back if you like to soak up some rays while soaking up your beverage. + Bonus points for the amazing mural on the side, featuring a mount rushmore of jimmys. My fave: Jimmy Hendrix. read more

Jimmy's is one of my favourite spots downtown to grab a coffee while catching up with friends, reading a book, studying, or all of the above! Having been to their other locations, I can conclusively say that this Jimmy's is my favourite. With three different floors and a patio in the summer, there's plenty of room to make yourself at home. The main floor is lively while the upstairs floors are a bit quieter; both are equally cozy so you can't go wrong either either! Their coffees and lattes are Delicious (with a capital D)! Their pastries are also quite good. Service is quick and friendly. Water is self-serve, which is a huge bonus, especially when you're parched and there's a huge line up. As much as I love Jimmy's, so does everybody else! If you're picky with tables, I would suggest to come early because tables fill up fast. Otherwise, people are constantly coming and going so the wait for a free spot is never too long if you're not too picky! read more

a true gem hidden in a rather boring part of the city. this wonderful feel of a small independent cafe with a character not a soul-less corporate clone of yet another Starbucks. the lady who works there is friendly, cheerful and great at her job. great coffee and even a small hidden patio with a couple of tables. I will be back for sure. read more

Jimmy makes nice coffee. It tastes stronger and bolder than Starbucks. The decor and ambience is hipstery. There are paintings and prints of famous Jimmys - Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Carter, etc everywhere. I've only ordered to-go and haven't been pass the first floor, but it seems spacious with their upper floors. The prices are reasonable. Excellent service, the baristas are very friendly. This is a superb coffee spot. And yes, there is free wi-fi. read more

Jimmy's Coffee - Their signature yellow lids - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One of the best coffee shops in Toronto! Love this shop and working at the hospital for SickKids, it's a quick run across the street for a coffee. I always get the cold brew coffee. (The larger size is worth the extra dollar) if you're going for a early morning pick me up drinking it without anything extra is the way to go. If you have a bit of a sweet tooth like me, you might like to add a splash (or 4) of simple syrup. The bariatas know what they're doing so when I occasionally order a flat white (not on the menu) they know exactly what to do. As a self proclaimed flat white expert it was spot on. The drink was creamy and melted like butter in my mouth, had a strong flavour and zipped the sides of my tongue. The only downside of the drink was that it was a bit grainy as I got to the bottom of the cup. The seating is great, there's space for about 10 on the first floor, 15 on the second floor and there's a meeting room on the top floor. Needless to say there's always a place to sit. The WiFi is free and super fast, 50 Mbps, (WiFi password is welovecoffee) and there's a pokestop at the shop. A near perfect coffee shop and a must visit if you're ever in the area. read more

Amazing chill spot with 3 levels of seats to choose from. Perfect place to work from coffee shop, catch up with a friend or just chill on a weekend for a break. The spot also works for a business meeting, be it a little out of the downtown core but they have many locations. The vibe is super chill and cool. Delicious cuppa coffee and latte as well! read more

This is the second time I have had a bad experience at this location. I love jimmy's coffee and have had them in other locations but the service here has me swearing off jimmy's coffee. I had ordered a JVO and waited about 10 minutes for my coffee. I had asked the barista once and he said that it was being made. Meanwhile he skips my cups (usually the cashier places them in the order in which they are paid). By the time he skips 3 more cups over mine, I was ready to go and ask for a refund with my receipt on hand. He then starts making my coffee and I ask if that was my coffee and he asked if I had paid for my coffee. The audacity to ask that when I had asked for my coffee twice by now and was waiting by the side where customers wait when they have paid. Apparently, racism is a problem at this location. I see that yelper Lynette O had a similar experience. I am Asian by the way. read more

This is my favourite Jimmy's Coffee (although I've only been to one). I was offered a free coffee during my first visit to Jimmy's. The gesture had made me felt so lucky that I managed to ACE the interview and landed a job nearby! Since then, our relationship had blossomed beautifully. Jimmy's is like the boyfriend you always wish you would have. He holds space for you when you need to chat with your friend! He offers special coffee (starting at $1.75) on a cold winter day! He is your coffice when you need to work! He carries delectable healthy and unhealthy treats (starting at $0.75) when you are down! He warms your heart with delicious breakfast (starting at $3.75) when you forget to eat! He even surprises you on his own birthday on Dec. 10th with free drinks and cakes! What more can a girl ask for? Just date him already! read more

At last, the downtown core/hospital row has a good quality independent coffee shop:) I have quickly become a regular here as it's a nice alternative to Starbucks and Second Cup. The espresso drinks and chai lattes are really well done, and the service is always friendly and laid-back. I especially love the ample seating room. The communal tables on the 2nd floor are great places to read or get some work done. Reliable wifi and an area to help yourself to water are added bonuses. The decor is warm and cozy and they usually play pretty good music. Can't really ask for more than that! read more

Perfect study/work spot! There's 2 floors of seating with plenty of outlets near all the tables and free wifi. There are big common tables as well as as smaller individual ones.

I'm not going to pretend to be a coffee connoisseur, but I am a caffeine-addict as well as a coffee shop lover. Cute cafés are my jam! Jimmy's Coffee was a very average experience, however. Jimmy's uses the unsweetened almond milk from Silk, which is horrible because the unsweetened version tastes incredibly salty, and this definitely transferred to the taste of my almond milk latte. They use a rather acidic strain of coffee beans (re: sour), and the double shot macchiato was hard to swallow. Also, no latte art. Whaaaaat? The barista used some hand motions that made it LOOK like she was doing latte art, but in reality it looked like a white, unidentifiable blob in the middle of my tiny cup of coffee. There are three floors, yet there is zero place to sit down. The third floor has a conference-room style table, the second floor with a hodgepodge assortment of furniture, and the first floor has a severe lack of chairs. Good luck trying to enjoy your coffee inside! Jimmy's Coffee is an alright café, and I may drop by to try their other items. However I won't make a special trip for Jimmy's because there are better shops in my neighborhood, thanks. read more

This shop has become a part of my morning routine. Friendly baristas, great coffee, really chill atmosphere. I mainly order their drip coffee on a regular basis although I have tried some of their other offerings like their cold brew and their milk-based drinks. The building itself is also really interesting and helps enhance the experience here. The main floor has a few seats but is mainly where the service counter and washrooms are located. The 2nd floor has more seating and is a great place whether you're looking to catch up with a friend or grind through some emails, although it is a little quiet so a loud conversation is probably a bit out of place. Behind Jimmy's there's also a great courtyard with some benches and tables and tons of seating; a great spot overall for coffee breaks with colleagues. The location is great, the people are great and the coffees even better. They've also got some sweet merchandise you can buy! Love Jimmy's! read more

I passed by here while I was heading to my training course, I couldn't help but noticed the smell of coffee. As soon as I stepped inside I couldn't believe how busy it was! Note to self, which means they serve good stuff here! The place is really cute, I oreded my medium coffee and handed to the milk/cream station. They have brown and white sugar in a bowl. They also have milk and cream in jars. Very different then what I'm used to. Price is not bad as well! 1.75 cheaper than my SB short coffee. Would def come back. The smell if the coffee is so rich. read more

I work nearby and wanted to get a Friday morning treat so I tried Jimmy's coffee. IIt's a small shop that looks cute from the outside. It has a decent amount of seating inside and some outside. There was a line of about 5 people since it was 9am, but someone took my order while I was in line, so that made it go by faster! The girl who took my order was super sweet and friendly. I got: Large Dirty Iced Chocolate Chai (Chocolate Chai Latte with a shot of espresso) It was delicious! A little too sweet for an everyday thing, but next time I would get two shots of espresso for the large size to cut back on the sweetness. The bakery items look really good. I will be back here to meet friends for coffee or have a coffee break with colleagues. read more
