We found this cafe by googling "Best Cafe for working and studying". It didn't disappoint us at all. The wifi is free and it has many seats. The store was in a LOFT decoration and it was very suitable for studying. I'm not really a coffee taster but I think the coffee in this store is good enough. Nowaday every cafe can provide high-quality coffee. It's worth mentioning that the style of the washroom is very cool. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of it but I recommend using it, lol
This is a quaint, eclectic café serving up handcrafted beverages and plenty of baked goods. I got a matcha latte and I was simping over the latte art - I'm a sucker for that stuff! Not only did it look cool, but it tasted great and was one of the better lattes I've had recently. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend giving this place a go, you won't be disappointed!
Such friendly staff and such a cute place! Would love to have a coffee with a friend here after Covid. Lots of cute treats to bring home and the coffee was delightful! Rich and flavourful! I can't wait to go here again.
Wife ordered a cortado for me just now. Tastes like a watery americano. Terrible taste and texture. Used to live close to this location. Disappointing at best.
Good coffee, reasonably priced and cordial staff. The ambiance is very warm and a really good place to work from.
Just as much as pizza is my weakness... so is coffee! I just finished eating an early dinner nearby and wanted a coffee to end my night. I went online to find a nearby coffee shop that was open later than 5pm and came across rooster coffee. I got a latte with oat milk and I was very satisfied. Also.... The lid was so cute and vibrant! If I wanted to do some research on my laptop... this would be a great spot to do so... with a coffee by my side of course!
Latte art on point ! Got a latte - which is was hotter. The decor of the cafe is very nice however due to covid no sit in atm. Barista looked like he hated his job though :/ overall latte was just ok!
Love this modern coffee shop.. very spacious Indoor as well as outdoor sitting. But not many tables though.. mostly it has bar stools but still good. Very neat and good customer service.. also the service was quick tho there was a bit of line up. The baked goods seem fresh and looked awesome; tried their chocolate croissant and it was delicious. The cappuccino was amazing - the coffee quality was extra ordinary. I will definitely go back here next time to get some work done. The interiors are very aesthetic and seems like there is a reason behind every corner that is designed super good The second floor seating was amazing and you get the bird's eye view on what's happening in the store and I think they also have cozy corners where you can just sit and relax or read something.. overall it's an awesome coffee shop that I haven't been in a while. And glad I was here today!
Finally got to try Rooster a couple of times this month after two years of my cousins raving about it. The Jarvis location is medium sized if you include the upper level done in conservative but pleasant colours of dark brown, taupe & various off-whites. In the evenings I found it calming and conducive to concentration or intimate conversation. Both the Jarvis & Charles walls are dominated by huge windows which will probably please those of you who are daylight people. First visit I noticed a featured (limited edition?) coffee, Ruva, described as a Costa Rican grown Gesha type. I chose to try it in a Flat White which they ground & extracted on the spot for $3.25 which I thought was great. It tasted more African than native Costa Rican with the tropical fruit & berry being noticeable though without the intrusive tartness and mentholish aromas which have bothered me in the Ethiopian & Rwandan beans from the last couple of years. The freshness and quality was evident from the lack of sour or bitter aftertaste and very smooth texture. I wouldn't buy the beans but it was good to try and I might have it once more or give it a go as a filtered pour-over. The other time I had drip from their in-house Burn Out medium dark. I thought it was solid but unremarkable, nice for occasional change from the familiar Starbucks & Second Cup drips without departing from a classic coffee taste. Good quality for about the same price as the chains and bellow most downtown specialty shops. Service was good both times, casual & relaxed but still professional. Parking is difficult & expensive in the area - not store's fault, just saying. I parked on Earl St both times, I suggest trying this before Charles as it's a long drive back around the block if you're unlucky with Charles. What kept it from being a 5? On my second visit the place could have been a little cleaner - mostly the floor - nothing major, maybe an afternoon floor sweeping was skipped? Also the second visit was a rainy day above 0 and it was bit humid & musty in there, may or may not be an issue in warmer weather.
I always drove past this place but never had the chance to actually go in. Today, I finally had the chance to try it. Coffee tasted really good!! It was little packed when I went in today so I had to wait little bit to get a seat upstairs but it was great atmosphere.
Spacious coffee house with ample seating and free WiFi - great if you want to unwind or spend a morning working with focus. Large selection of pastries that I unfortunately didn't try. I did, however, try the cold brew, which wasn't terrible but had a weird and unbalanced aftertaste with a lot of bitterness and very mild fruity notes. I also tried an espresso shot which blasted my palette upfront with a lot of acidity but had an almost sweet aftertaste. All in all, the ambience is great but the coffee itself brings the rating down.
My friend and I were visiting Toronto for my birthday and I was in need of a good cup of coffee on a cold day! We happen upon this place and what a great find. loved the way it was decorated, very cute space. I was able to use the restroom and they have plenty of seating. I ordered a flat white and it was delicious and strong! They have plenty of different coffee drinks or teas. Also they have delicious baked goodies to pair with your drink! Heads up, it is street paid parking but you can use the mobile app to pay for a spot. When I come back to town I will definitely be coming to this place again. Totally recommend to anyone in the area in need of a coffee fix!

This is probably my favourite Rooster Coffee House's location. I love the space the moment I stepped in. Mind you, it was cold and freezing outside and the cafe just felt so welcoming and WARM with the aroma of coffee! Love the seating option! They even have a second level if you want some quiet time. Rooster Coffee House has interesting latte if you are not a coffee drinker. Honey Ginger Latte is perfect for this colder and wet weather! A great place to just hang out and meet up with your friends over a good cup of coffee! read more

Coffee house with a very cool hipster vibe. Love the coziness with it's faux leather chairs and couches, artsy light fixtures, funky artwork and a comfy loft to people watch. Decent coffee but only vanilla and chocolate flavored syrup to choose from and no whipped cream boo! They do however make cute coffee art and have tasty pastries (no oven or micro to warm things up though): their croissants are light, buttery and flaky. Chill baristas but excellent customer service. They have tiny tables in the loft that barely fit my friend and my 2 coffees and 2 plates of pastries (see pic). My friend accidentally knocked off her croissant while fumbling with the plates. I mentioned this problem with the barista then he apologized and gave us a complimentary croissant woo hoo! read more
When you walk in, it smells like heaven. (espresso IS heaven and their espresso is fresh. The place itself is very hipster-esque and caters to the corporate environment around it. I find it a great place to have a meeting, or simply work on your own time. Also, anywhere with an upstairs has me sold. I like creeping on people as they walk in completely unaware ;) The baristas are very friendly and the place is organized to a point where nobody is lost looking for where to pay and where to wait for their drink. They had a good variety of options but I was intrigued by the ginger honey latte - I love ginger and it's so good for you, so I definitely hopped on that. Oh, and I'm also in love with almond milk & they don't charge extra for that. Every single one of the ingredients in that latte was on point, and the large size cost me less than $5 - so. worth. The ginger honey latte was so good that sometimes I just think about it, when I'm home or whatever. Goodbye starbucks, hello roosters! They also sell cold pressed juice in the fridge beside, so I thought that was interesting. Generally l o v e this place. Definitely will be back, at least once a week. Ugh, it's an addiction. read more
3.5 stars I like the space. Nicely designed and cozy. But maybe a bit too cozy. There isn't a lot of floor space and seating is quite cramped. I would like to be here when it's not busy. I just had a tea and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were average. read more
I've never been disappointed by the laid-back and friendly service at this spot in the neighbourhood! While it might be a bit of a pricy stop, one can expect a high-quality beverage - I personally have enjoyed matcha, turmeric, and almond tea lattes immensely. The atmosphere of the location is also cozy, though the wi-fi is always iffy in my experiences - so bring a book rather than trying to hunker down for online studying/perusing! read more

Treat of the day: ginger honey latte. If you love ginger tea, you will love this. Definitely worth the pretty penny. The barista is also very very nice. She approaches with a great attitude and is very cheerful. There are little notes everywhere. I caught a glimpse of "you're great" on the card machine. read more
My favourite coffee shop in the area! The coffee is so great and their baked goods are such a perfect pairing. Addicting! I love the open concept, high ceilings, and big windows. There are lots of seating for people who want to sit and work, or for small groups (2-3 people) to socialize. read more

A very cosy non-big chain coffee house. I love the decor here - it is modern yet comfortable. Nice pastry and loaf selection, and good quality espresso drinks Pricing-wise, it is comparable to your average Starbucks. Recommended read more
Across from the Rogers building on Jarvis in a corner unit of 568 Jarvis. Nice vibe and everyone is very nice. They have plenty of seating options in the main area, at the windows and a second floor indoor balcony. We tried it on a Saturday morning. We had an awesome cinnamon bun which they get from the St. Lawrence Market. They also have great mild and dark roast coffees. read more

4.5 star ... very good coffee and a wonderful atmosphere. In search of good coffee near the Yorkville area, we found Rooster on the Far East side facing the Rogers building. This certainly is one of the better coffee shops I've tried in Toronto and definitely competes with some of the good 3rd wave ones I've had south of the border. Though this particular location is awesome for Rogers employees, it's a bit out of the way for the rest of us. It's not quite close to Yorkville or other hot spots like a King St. W. What's great though it has a bright atmosphere that allows you to enjoy the sun in a 2 story large space and people watch with their dogs. There are not a lot of tables but it has many bar seatings facing the windows. There were a lot of people here just sitting for hours doing their assignments or enjoying their afternoon coffee. We sat here for a long time and not once were we ever asked to move. We did enjoy 3 different drinks over the time we were here though! I love how they offer alternative milk... you have a choice of soy, coconut, and almond. We got a steeped chai latte (they used a tea bag for it... don't get this, the tea blend was quite weak), macchiato (with the cutest little Ontario spoon. Overall, this was good ... not bitter, right amount of milk), and a mocha. The mocha was the clear winner... they didn't use a terrible chocolate syrup but one that is more bittersweet chocolate. They definitely took care in pulling the espresso shot as it was very well balanced between the dark chocolate, espresso, and milk. I really liked it. Overall, clean great place that serves very good coffee and lots of seating. If i'm ever in the Yorkville area, I may trek a bit further and enjoy a cup here. read more
Great coffee, cool vibe, and an awesome interior. What more can you ask for? I've been to all 3 rooster locations and this is probably my 2nd fave location (the first being the Broadview one). Service is friendly and you don't have to wait long to get your coffee. Their Americanos are stellar and their cappuccinos are great (and come with pretty latte art). Will definitely come back for more when I'm around the area! read more
Is there a worse major street in Toronto than Jarvis..?? Rooster is a good sign of potential. It's a great looking coffee shop. Hopefully they tear 90% of the rest of Jarvis St up, add commercial spaces.. And better buildings. Rooster has very good coffee and terrific pecan tarts (for starters). Easily one of the best in the city. read more

Came in here around 10am. Sarah makes a mean matcha latte. It is so so so so pretty and super tasty. She knows her milk foam! The scone was alright. Pastries are better than Starbuck's. The vibe is great. Spacious. Hipster interior design. Really nice leather arm chairs. This place is not a must-visit for tourists. But definitely a five star place for office workers and residents nearby. read more

Been here for the last three days straight for my caffeine fix. Good coffee (had the cappuccino and the flat white), but would skip the London fog in the future (not a strong enough tea taste for me). Really cute coffee shop, hipster decor, outdoor, indoor, and loft seating. Also like that they have a crossword set up for people to work on while they wait for their coffee and have newspapers available. It's cheaper than Starbucks and they have a stamp card! read more
