Amazing location for a sit down coffee to get some work done or to chat with friends/have a professional conversation. This is one of the better coffee shops to visit when downtown. I'm not too great at directions so I got lost trying to find it in the basement. It is easily walkable from Union Station which is a huge bonus for me. I got the Americano and it was delicious. My friend got the latte and would also highly recommend it. I'd want to come back and try some of their seasonal drinks. The barista was very observant and offered us water at our table after we had finished the coffee. The furniture is modern and comfortable. The coffee shop has good lighting, but for the laptop users, I didn't see an outlet.
Came for Matcha Creme de Banane. Yes a bit hefty $ for this but it does have a small caramelized banana, banana chips, and crumble. The staff tells you how to enjoy it best before you take the cup away from the counter. Overall good experience, friendly staff, a bit of a wait but not bad. Taste is good for $. Value - likely subjective. I personally feel mine had too much ice. I will try to ask for less ice next time. They carry Hatch coffee beans so I'm all for coming back and try their coffee next time.
This is an amazing place Let me start off by saying i am a big matcha fan It was an amazing drink. The only thing I wish was that they were able to make it with milk alternatives. The service was amazing. The people who help me were very patient. The only thing another thing about the location is it doesn't have computer chargers so if you want to work out of the space which I did at that day on that day, you won't be able to. But altogether, I think everyone should try this drink
Super nostalgic vibes here. The atmosphere is pure 70s vibe which gives me great vibes of my childhood. Even without that, the food (Araw araw, cinnamon knot and ice coffee) was fantastic. This is a place I want to be at and it wins on all counts!
Another great beverage. Tried the Yukiake Shoten today. Strawberry milk with mango puree & matcha. Always a creative & intriguing experience!
The Brick Room is a hidden gem in the PATH and one of my favourite coffee spots downtown. Unlike the many chain cafes around, this one feels unique and personal. I love grabbing a coffee and lingering a little longer than I should--daydreaming and delaying the return to my desk.
Need a coffee and a place to work. Coffee is excellent with staff that can tweak the drink to your liking. Exceptional service and very knowledgeable staff. Excellent selection of beans for pour over. Highlights: Latte - perfect milk for some good espresso Pour over - select a Nepal bean and that was balance.
Ordered a flat white while waiting doe my friend at The Path in Union Station. The staff provide me a glass of water when I sat down! The flat white is more on the nutty side, which I really like it! Dark roasted. Love their ambience too, with all the brick red walls ( the only thing is that their specialty drinks are quite pricey, around $10 per cup)
Ambient spot located right by union station. They have unique seasonal drinks that are worth a try. I've tried the murasaki matcha which is a matcha base with purple potato cream top and the limited time reina con flow which has a strawberry caramel milk base and espresso cloud top, topped with a tres leche cake. Their quality of coffee and tea are good however it is quite pricey (~$10 per drink) for what you get. The size of their cups are smaller than a typical cold drink cup.
Such a hidden gem in the PATH. Tried the banana espresso latte and the honeycomb latte and both were delicious! Definitely pricey ($10 each for the latte), but they were specialty drinks. The pistachio croissant was also very tasty. Highly recommend if you're passing through the PATH!
OMG I love this place. It stands out a lot because it's so different from the other coffee shops in the patch. You literally can't miss the saturated red bricks. This location is right next to union station, perfect for grabbing a coffee. They use hatch beans which are top notch. I really enjoyed my flat white and kouign amann. So tasty. Really friendly service complimented with such a cozy and unique atmosphere, I think this will be my nee go to!
Brick Room is a new cafe for speciality coffee. They use single origin coffee beans from various trusted roasters like Hatch, Angry. The place is spacious with seats and power outlet for laptops. The location is right at the entrance of PATH between Union Station and Brookfield place. Perfect place for grabbing coffee before starting the day, or business meetup and coffee chat with office mates during the day. I had a Cortado with beans from Angry Roaster. The aroma is fruity and mouthfeel is smooth. The latte art is proper. If you look for SOE coffee in downtown core, this place is the PLACE to go.
I come to the Brick Room a concerning amount of times. They have two locations: Brookfield and Temperance. It's my pick me up during work hours. They take their time, give attention to their craft. It's not a place you grab and go. You need to truly appreciate it but sitting down and letting the baristas come to you, explain how to consume the coffee drink and then enjoy it. The brick room's interior is covered with red bricks and fun fact - red bricks are great to keep rooms cooler during summer and warmer during winters! I love the intentionality in everything they do. read more
I tried using Google Maps to find The Brick Room, but it wasn't very helpful. Turns out the café is right along the path and I could've easily walked straight out of Union Station since it's right next to that entrance. The space itself has a really niche aesthetic and I especially loved the unique window design. I arrived around 10 a.m. and the café was busy but not overwhelming, with a steady flow of people coming and going. I ordered one of their winter specials: an iced matcha with black sesame foam. It was pricey at $10, but honestly one of the best I've ever had. They instruct you to sip the foam first before mixing, and the flavours were bold with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was incredible. They actually brought my drink over, which I wasn't expecting, and when we were done they came by with water and cleared our empty cups. Such a pleasant surprise! All in all, highly recommend this spot. I would come by all the time if I lived nearby. read more
Came here after all the social media hype of their banana bread matcha latte. It's located inside of the Path and the vibes are immaculate. They have an all red interior and wasn't too busy during lunch time. Drinks here are expensive though, but I can understand why, especially with their specialty ingredients. Here's what we got: Banana bread matcha latte 4/5 - It's more sweet than I'd like and really tasted like a delicious banana bread. However, couldn't taste much matcha. I loved the toppings on this drink though - full of banana flavour. Ube matcha latte 4/5 - Beautiful purple colour of the ube matched with the vibrant green matcha. The cookie crisp on the top of this was so delicious, crispy and paired perfectly with the drink. It's again a tad sweet for my liking but overall still amazing! Can't wait to come back for more seasonal drinks they will have here. Overall, a must try! read more

Cozy new coffee shop in Brookfield! Just minutes away from Union Station. They have a lot of beans on display and it's not the typical beans you would see at other coffee shops in the financial district, e.g subtext. I ordered the cortado and long black. Service and pick up was quick and easy. Both drinks were delicious! Will definitely come back! read more

Great place to grab a coffee or have a chat before you jet off to your 9AM meetings, the seasonal matcha banana drink was delicious but it's also a go to for a flat white. read more

Today I tried the strawberry mango matcha drink, and it was absolutely delicious,creamy, refreshing, and surprisingly light. It is on the sweeter side, which might not appeal to everyone, but I personally loved it. read more
Very cute and eye catching new coffee spot in the PATH! The staff are all very kind and helpful if you have questions. The cafe has a lot of seating actually, and some classic board games if you're sticking around. The vibes are also very cozy. The beans they use a really nice quality, but I admit I am not a particularly big coffee drinker so I probably don't appreciate it as others would. The prices are pretty average for Financial District non-franchise cafes--looking at $5-7 for your caffeine fix. read more
The Brick Room, located inside the PATH where Brookfield Place Is, is a specialty coffee shop serving a variety of caffeinated beverages, teas, and pastries. This coffee shop is opened by the same owners as 135 Ossington/Rooms Coffee, 915 Dupont, and 450 Dufferin. The interior of the café is like the colour of bricks which adds to the unique vibe/charm of the shop. There are several tables for you to enjoy your coffee or you can get it to go. They also have coffee beans for sale. I stopped by The Brick Room during their opening day. I ordered a flat white which was made at a reasonable time and tasted great. I did sit for a while to enjoy my coffee. I found it to be a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the PATH. Overall, great vibes, friendly service, and delicious coffee. Definitely a great place for coffee within the downtown core! read more

My new favourite coffee spot when visiting Toronto! A bit tricky to find (particularly if you're from out of town or not used to the PATH underground), but well worth the search. If you're entering from street level you need to take an escalator down and then head towards the entrance for the subway/ union. Surprising warm and cozy vibe for its location. The staff are amazing, kind, attentive and came to check to see how things were. The owner was also there and is obviously very passionate about the quality. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and a pistachio croissant. They were all out of almond croissants by the time I got there (9am) and can see why as their pastries are great. Coffee was fantastic. I'll definitely be back! read more
Such a cute little spot to pop into for a coffee if you're near Union Station or the PATH. The baristas are so friendly and the service is consistent every time. The expresso-based bevies and snacks will keep you going all day. read more

Great service and ambiance. Coffee is nicely roasted. I would suggest a latte over mocha I ordered, the chocolate taste is very faint. Mocha is lightly sweetened, not be try sweet. I believe the milk they used is Sheldon's creek so can taste the difference in the milk. In this case, price is fair. read more
