Spirited Tarts & Coffee located near the intersection of Bathurst/Bloor (along Bathurst) is a small cafe serving up specialty coffee and French-Japanese inspired baked goods. Co-founders, Joanna and Ryan, started up the business during the pandemic where they have been to a variety of markets and popups. Currently now, they have their own small storefront in a historic building in the Annex.
I've followed Spirited Tarts & Coffee on Instagram for a while now where I've always tried to plan to go to one of their popup markets in the past - however, the timing was never right. Just recently they opened a small storefront! Watching them most about their renovations about their small cafe got me more excited to finally visit them and try their pastries for the first time.
I stopped by a few days after they opened in the morning, however, at that time the espresso machine wasn't warmed up yet and I didn't have time to wait. I finally came back to Spirited Tarts and Coffee on a Thurs afternoon and Joanna and Ryan were both there. I ordered a cortado and crinkled matcha cookie to enjoy in the space. The cafe is intimate and cozy where there is some bar or bench seating available. The pastries neatly laid out on display when you enter and the menu features espresso based drinks, pourover, and even tea lattes.
My cortado was made well and the cookie was delicious. Both Joanna and Ryan were so friendly, talking to the customers that came by.
A great new addition to the Bloor/Bathurst area if you are ever needing a caffeine hit and some delicious pastries! read more
