I'd walked passed Loveless many, many times in the past, but somehow I'd never stopped in. So when we were making plans to meet up before a night out, it seemed like a pretty obvious place to start. I showed up around 5:00 and people were still drinking coffee. (Side note: who are these folks that can drink coffee that late?? If I attempted that, I wouldn't fall asleep until the following morning.) Anyway, I sat down and eventually realized I was meant to go up to the counter to order a drink. So that's exactly what I did, and I wound up grabbing a tasty, refreshing pint of beer. The vibe in Loveless is so laid back and easygoing, too. It's a really cool little place. read more

Decent place, decent playlist. Nothing special, but nothing special was expected. Overall decent.

Great coffee shop that makes a mean Cortado, Jamaican Patie and has one of the best patios in the city

Bold opinion but Loveless Cafe makes one of the best coconut milk lattes in Toronto. Coconut milk is not commonly carried but I'm happy when a cafe does because it's an alt. milk that pairs wonderfully with coffee (especially the Reunion Coffee beans that Loveless uses). Adding to their latte perfection, the staff at Loveless know how to steam milk well. They make sure it's the right temperature, allowing me to enjoy my drink without it going cold (no one wants a tepid latte amirite?!). Another personal indicator of a good cafe is how comfortable I am in their space. This isn't the place for you if you're looking for fancy service but I can honestly say that from the minute I walk through the door, I feel at home. If you've never been here, their ascetic is '70s basement rec. room mixed with your grandmother's knick knacks and all the plants you could want. In the "before" days, my ideal Sunday tradition would be to head to Loveless in order to hunker down with a good book and a coffee. A cafe during the day, this black owned business converts to a bar at night and also has a great sunny patio for warmer times. Now during the lockdown, you can still get yourself a delicious coffee to go (ability to make all your cafe standards) and purchase local wine and beer from their bottle shop. If that isn't enough, they've transformed part of their space into a pop up of vintage goods and local artwork, promising a fun little treasure hunt while you wait. We all have a favourite coffee shop in the city and Loveless Cafe will always be mine. read more

Loveless - Coconut milk latte. During COVID, let me know if you want sugar when you order. They have to add it for you. - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I visited Toronto last weekend and found this cafe only a few blocks from my AirBnB - perfect for a morning coffee fix and a great variety of pastries! I visited for two mornings and encountered friendly baristas, space to hang out and a perfectly crafted coffee drink. One day I tried a cappuccino and one day a latte - I liked both, though I probably preferred the latte since it was a bit creamier! One day I was also looking for a bit of breakfast so I opted for the ham and cheese croissant which was flavorful and filling! I would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. Additionally, they have a small patio that I'm sure would be lovely in the summer, though not so much in early November. read more

Loveless - Delicious latte and a ham and cheese croissant - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I visited loveless while I was in the neighbourhood. The cafe bar was cozy and had a small drinks menu. We ordered two lattes and people watched while sitting by the windows. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Loveless. The atmosphere is relaxed. They've got a good-sized patio and cozy seating inside. They had a small handful of offerings on tap - I was all about their dry strawberry cider. This would be a nice place to work at with a coffee during the day, but equally awesome as a chill spot to meet a friend for drinks in the evening. The music selection was on point and played at a volume where you could actually hear each other speak. Service was friendly, although it is a serve-yourself kind of place (order at the bar etc) which contributed to the chill feeling you get in this bar. Washrooms down a flight of stairs. I'll definitely be back. read more

The service is TERRIBLE. Passive aggressive bartender served my friend and I. Neither one of us will be returning.

I walked by with the Hubster on a beautiful, hot day. They had a busy patio, but we managed to score a couple of seats. The atmosphere is super casual, with small picnic-type seating. You had to go inside and order at the bar and bring your drinks out, but that wasn't a big deal. They provided bottles and glasses of water, which was very necessary. Service was friendly and they had a good cider on tap and a few varieties of Ace Hill beer, which we liked. Tall boys ran us $7 each. Definitely a nice spot to have a drink and catch up with friends. read more

A quaint little bar in Toronto's west end with an old world charm and a laid back atmosphere. The soft chairs, dim light and taxidermy gives this spot a cozy cottage feel. The bartender plays soft trance beats while you drink. Great spot to just have a conversation. I've only tried the bar at night so can't say much about the coffee during the day, but bar drinks include a variety of tequila based mixes and imported European beers. Stiegl on the lighter side and English ales on the darker. Not really a dive bar i.e. a little more upscale. In fact, very reminiscent of the Brooklyn bar scene down in New York. read more

BOTTOM LINE: A cozy, and licensed, cafe! A mix between a dive bar/cafe and a place with table service, Loveless has a cozy corner spot in this up-and-coming neighbourhood. The layout of the cafe includes very tiny tables by the windows, tables for 2 on one side, and a small couch area for 4 on the other side. They serve your regular cafe offerings along with some pastries, though I might recommend trying something besides the PAIN-AU-CHOCOLAT, which was quite doughy. I'll have to come back when it's warmer to sample their patio and cocktails. They have, IIRC, 3-4 beers on tap, but for the life of me, I can't remember what they were. More reason to come back, I guess! Definitely worth checkout if you're in the neighbourhood. read more

This place wins me over as it's one of the few West facing patios on this stretch of Dundas West. But aside from the patio, there isn't much keeping me excited. Beer summary: A select grouping of craft tallboys, and a handful of unexciting tap options coming in between $6-$8. Food summary: Jamaican patties for $3.50 each. And last time I came, sandwiches that are premade and sit in a fridge (while supplies last) for $9. Perhaps if I was a coffee shop/cafe type of guy I'd see more charm in the place, but otherwise it's just a fall-back spot to visit still worthy of the 3 stars. read more

I went to loveless cafe during Dundas West fest. We ordered 3 shots which were 7$ each- a little expensive. And the shots came in disposable cups. I was disappointed by this place. The bathrooms were also bad. Maybe they were just having a bad day during that time. I'll give them another chance later. read more

Loveless is quickly becoming a regular in my cafe rotation. In addition to the obvious benefit of it being very close to my house, its open all damn day. Well, basically. During the week, when I do they bulk of my cafe sitting, its open 7am to 9pm*. I love this because I can go have a coffee in the morning while I do my work, or if I've struggled to find motivation during the day, I can still get out of the house to be productive with a tea at 7pm. Also, sometimes a girl just needs a glass of wine with her email writing, and Loveless is there for you on that front too. The staff here are also super chill and the music is always great. The place could use a few more outlets, but thats about it. *Its open till 3am on weekends, but thats a whole other horse colour. read more

Cozy little cafe/bar, great for spending a lazy afternoon. They have a good amount of seating -- not good for big groups (only 1 table for 4), but it's more of the kind of place to come read a book on your own or catch up in an intimate setting. It's table service unlike most coffee shops. Standard espresso drinks as well as some cocktails and beers (I just had a cappuccino). Look out for the taxidermy animals at the bar - kind of random! read more

My favourite place to grab a cider and a sunburn on Sundays. Situated on Dundas and Dovercourt, Loveless has a great patio with several picnic benches and a few high tops overlooking the Dundas commotion. Good coffee, cold brew on tap, good selection of beers and excellent cocktails (albeit, expensive). Perfect venue for hair of the dog, but feels a bit low key at night. read more

This is probably my worst experience ever. I got to the bar at 11 pm bought my drink and I asked the bartender for the username and password. He gave them to me then after I paid for my drinks. Then he said that no laptops allowed after 9. I don't mind this kind of rules! But he saw me taking out my laptop from the bag but he waited until I ordered and paid for my drink then he came up to me to tell me to put the laptop away or I need to leave the bar. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Great spot, nice atmosphere, relaxed. Great that it turns into a bar that you can use as a cafe until late at night (though I think they have a no laptop rule past 9pm). Would be good if they increased their tea selection, increased their non-dairy milk selections, and brought back some really good actual non alcoholic cider. read more

The coziest patio in the city. To add, good coffee, drinks and staff. In my opinion Loveless is one of he best Bar/ Cafes in the city.

Loveless is a good name for this place because their staff really don't seem to give AF if you're there or not. No effort in making you feel welcome but more of a DIY kinda place anyway which is how they appear to want to be viewed. I guess its the new trend. Nice atmosphere 5 stars. Service 1 star. Loveless. read more

A comfortable cafe/coffee house to hang out in especially when it is pouring rain outside which happened to me the other day. The front garage door was wide open and it was great to see and smell the rain without getting wet. The coffee is good as is the cucumber lemonade which I've never had anywhere else. Very laid back scene with no attitude at all. read more

This place is the bees knees. If you want a latte or a beer this place has it and in the summer you chills outside. 11/5 stars, real talk. One time. read more

A hole in the wall with a very laid back easy vibe, with excellent Mexican inspired cocktails and a nice patio. In an as yet undiscovered Toronto neighborhood- no Starbucks! read more

I've only been here at night when it converts from a cafe to a bar. It's not an overly fancy place, but the ambiance is both buzzy and intimate at the same time, and it's really just a solid space for some one-on-one time or to just unwind with a small group of friends. Comfy green couches must be a hit with people looking for the former. Pretty decent selection of beers/ciders. I haven't tried any of their cocktails yet, but look forward to it. read more

I love this place. It is extremely relaxed, good ambiance, good beer, nice staff. One of my fave places to grab a drink before dinner.

Jamal did an excelled job welcoming me. I had a couple drinks and some good conversations. He is very friendly and made me feel welcomed. The menu is very creative. A must check in for any drinks - non alcoholic or alcoholic. Check this place out! read more

The best coffee and they have coconut milk that goes perfectly with their cold brew. The owner, Jamal, is super friendly and will talk you through the flavours of patties... Who knew jerk pork could be so amazing! read more

one of the best spots in town. Dundas West's Holy Oak, but with a great patio and radlers on tap. No jokes!

Unfriendly staff. I really wanted to like this place so I came by for two separate mornings maybe about two weeks apart and was faced with probably the most rude and unwelcoming customer service I have ever encountered. It was super disappointing because this place seemed really great and my friend had recommended it too. Will never go back or recommend it to others. Coffee was just okay as well. If you're overworked and tired, then please take it out on your friends or manager. Not your customers. read more
