Run and Gun makes its home in Brockton Village, and is one of those quirky, under-the-radar shops that's worth checking out. In addition to serving coffee and tea, it's also a concept store that curates a collection of unique and local items for its patrons, such as plants, candles, gifts and baby clothes. With something for everyone, it's easy to walk in and purchase more than a just a coffee (also great to support a local business!) As for the drinks, expect the standard complement of espresso drinks, plus chai and matcha lattes and loose leaf teas. Beans are supplied by Toronto-based De Mello Coffee and baked goods are made locally, too. Although the shop is quiet, the service is friendlier than most coffee shops in the city, which I always appreciate. Those are the little things that make me want to return. read more

An extra star for the cute decor and plant filled shelves for sale! They also have some antique furniture downstairs if you are looking for some home pieces! A lovely space to do some work or reading and enjoy a warm drink. I visited on a weekday afternoon and there were only two other patrons studying at the low table. There were plenty of people popping in for a drink or a treat during the time we were there, so it kept the space vibrant but relaxed. I had a hot chocolate (so can't speak to the coffee options), but it was good. Not sweet but with plenty of chocolate flavor. read more

R and G Coffee - A hot chocolate and a latte. Hanging out with an elephant. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Cute little coffee shop with an interesting decor - plenty of plants and also clothing items for sale. Even though the cafe itself is not too big, there are plenty of seats: nice destination to grab a coffee and chit chat with a friend or read a book on your own. I had the vanilla latte and let me tell you the espresso was amazing, I am a sucker for a good espresso and this was definitely the one. Loved the place and would definitely be back. read more

*Read this before you waste your money. Coffee's okay, vibes okay. Don't really get whats the concept of this cafe with all the plants and baby clothes(that don't sell ever) all around the space. Messy. Besides of weird concept, I'd NEVER support Run and Gun just because of the OWNER how she treats her employees and customers. Running a small business in small&tight neighbourhood like Dundas West?Everything's about community and reputation. She a mean, greedy person. And why would you spend a dollar here dealing with a shhittty owner anyway, there are tons of great cafes all around the city. PS. if you're lucky enough to catch her on a 'good day', she might not charge you for an extra sugar pack or an extra syrup pump :) read more

This is the absolute truth: Run and Gun cafe has the best vanilla latte I've ever had. I'm not sure if it's the syrup they use or if they put more than usual, but it's the perfect amount sweetness. Other lattes I've gotten, I usually feel that they aren't sweet enough or aren't sweetened at all but drinking this latte, you can tell there is definitely vanilla in there. The cafe is a cute and floral cafe. Seating is limited and it gets busy around peak hours (noon, prime evening time of 3-4). The barista was super nice and friendly, greeting us as we walked through the doors. Their menu is pretty limited, with all of the typical espresso drinks but nothing special to the cafe itself. I didn't get a chance to try their pastries but I will definitely return to try them as they have some interesting things going on there. It's a good place to grab a drink and catch up on your latest book! read more

Sells coffee, a diuretic, has patio seating, does not let customers use their washrooms... freeloads on other area businesses when their customers invariably need to use washroom. Zero stars. Lack of compassion. If you can't offer a washroom??? read more

Another day, another new place to try a flat white! My morning meeting sent me over to Dundas W and I've had Run and Gun on my radar for a while. This is a very cute neighbourhood spot. Lots of sunlight, greenery, and muted woods to give that zen like feel... when I walked in, quiet and soothing is what I would call the place. Everyone here was just sitting still reading or typing quietly away. Run and gun is quite community focused as they had a nightly kid movie night being advertised on their counter. That seems really cute. The place has a lot of space to chill and do your work. The free wifi helps with that. I ordered my usual of almond milk flat white was quickly taken and started immediately. I like how a bit of the store is dedicated to selling plants... it gives a nice life to the place. Flat White with almond milk - It had a bit more large foam bubbles than I'm used to and this may have made the ratio a little off for the milk to espresso. The bean also had an interesting bitter note that may not be my favourite but it was still fairly good drink overall. 3.5/5 read more

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a coffee shop! It's a plant store! There are baby clothes! Come as you are, and Run and Gun has got something for y-o-u. I came here recently for a summer coffee date to beat the heat and the temp at Run and Gun did not disappoint. I picked up a little Iced Latte but while I was waiting for my buddy, browsing got the best of me and I also picked up some bubble bath. The (flavour?) scent is lavender & chamomile and I am quite excited to try it. There is ample seating! I feel like you would be hard-pressed to not find a chair here. With the front display, I see how it could be hard to know that you can really hunker down in here from just the outside looking in. Rest assured, it is very laptop and work meeting friendly. Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this multi-purpose space, well-worth its many fans! read more

You ever just want to sip coffee while inhaling some super clean oxygen? Me too. And if you can't make it out of town and into a forest, R&G is a great alternative! So. Many. Plants! Run & Gun is a coffee shop, a gift shop, and a plant shop all at once. They serve all the usual coffee essentials, plus ice cream from Kawartha Dairy, and a variety of pastries and treats to snack on. There is a big table in the back for a solid co-working session, but my favourite place to cozy up is in the front section, surrounded by succulents and evergreens. Just call me Snow White. :) read more

Diabetic unfriendly without sugar alternatives for coffee. Unfriendly attitude, a bit snarky and elitist. Not the best place to get a drip coffee, too bitter and strong. Oh, and don't sit on their bench outside as it is often used by dogs from thoughtless patrons who the owners think is just fine read more

I can't understand to concepts of this shop. that the shop has grass I understood, but why to place clothing? My idea is simply that if the shop has nature taste, there has to warm a room and there has a little bit of art. read more

This is a relatively new cafe that I happened to come across as I was walking around Dufferin/Dundas. The cafe is quite clean and quiet, and spacious for a small cafe. It is clear that the owners didn't want to clutter the place. There aren't many tables available though; a communal table at the back and another one near the entrance that could seat ~4-5 people and 2 smaller round tables that fit 1-2 people. Interestingly, there's a 'tiered' bench where on the top step, people could sit cross-legged on the floor. It seemed quite comfortable as pillows and a sitting table were provided. On the lower step, you could fit ~1-2 people. The cafe is really quiet and it makes me not want to talk as it may cause a disturbance to other customers. I'd say it is a great cafe if you want to be alone and get some work done. They offer the classic cafe drinks for prices that you see in any coffee shops in that area. I ordered the macchiato and it was were really good. On another coffee run, I ordered a flat white and it was just as good! Love the taste of their coffee beans! The cafe also has some cookies, croissants and pre-made sandwiches available, perhaps I'll come next time to try them. read more

Adorable coffee/tea shop with comfortable and eclectic decor and seating. The unsweetened iced teas available were delicious, along with their selection of baked goods. Over my two day stay in Toronto, we visited this spot three times. The friendly and attentive staff make this spot a great neighborhood gem! read more

I have lived in the area for 4 years now and Run and Gun was always my go-to to grab a yummy coffee and sit and get some work done! But in the past year the owners decided to sell more baby clothes and now there are less seating options in the cafe which has made it less appealing to me. I feel like they need to decide if they want to sell baby clothes or if they want to be a cafe lol, not both! I only stop in for a coffees now. I would rather go somewhere where I have more space to sit and do some work. read more

We found this nice coffee shop around Dundas n dufferin.st. Decided to give it a try and this did not disappoint us. I love the decorations in there. The service is really friendly. I ordered a macchiato and ginger cookie. Goes very well together. I ordered a honey ginger tea to go. I would definitely recommend this place if you have time on a weekend and wanna relax. read more

Loving all the new places popping up in my neighborhood! Discovered Run and Gun during my many weekend walks. Refreshing because it is not packed unlike the numerous coffee shops in the city- probably not for long! Ordered a cappuccino- fantastic topped with beautiful swan latte art. Coffee is from de Mello Palheta and baked good from the local Drake Bakery. Next on the list is to try their cookies. Pay them a visit! read more

Great tasting coffee, with very chill vibes. Great for a quick stop or a nice play to hang out. Rustic like style. read more

R and G Coffee - Top: flat white Bottom: cappuccino - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Sigh...Asked for an extra hot chai soy latte. It was lukewarm... I regret spending 8 dollars.

I had the worst experience here. I don't know what's the problem with the woman who seems to be the owner so nobody can fire her but she was so rude. I had never been here so I didn't know that they don't accept credit card and to say the least, she gave me an attitude about it. I was on my way to another shop near there and I told the cashier about my experience and she also had a terrible experience there so that's kinda funny. Anyway, don't even bother to try it out. read more

Great coffee that is not pretentiously made, and in your hands in less than five mins. Best cookies on Dundas. Best damn americano anywhere. Oh and the space is beautiful. Friendly staff. Come here for coffee. You will like it. read more

Been coming to R&G since it's opening and overall really enjoy the place. Coffee is great, staff are friendly and the space is flexible enough for a variety of situations. Highly recommend if you are in Dundas West. read more

In a town with a ton of coffee shops it's hard to stand out. But runnandgun has a light and open space cool projection of animation on the back wall and plants for sale. The chairs aren't too padded so plan on meeting friends for good coffee and a chat, but maybe write your screenplay elsewhere. But yes there is wifi. Buy a plant and get a free americano. Oh, speaking of Americanos the barista will pour the water in front of you so you can decide how strong you like it. The coffee seems solid. And being new in town it's usually not crowded. read more
