    Nice coffee place with a variety of drinks and food options. Prices are pretty reasonable and there is a nice patio outside.

    Touted as the best place to get an affagato in Toronto, so we made a point of finding it as it's our craving of choice right now. It sounded delish in the website so I couldn't wait to get here. The service was good, and it's a nice spot for coffee, breakfast and working apparently as a lot of people were inside and outside. They also serve alcohol, so had sone nice drinks on their menu, along with the usual coffee shop items. The affagato was amazing! Wish it wasn't served in a plastic cup, but the ice cream and espresso were nice and rich, and they did a nice crushed almond topping. Yum, delish, hit the spot, nice caffeine hit! If you fund this place I'd recommend you get this and anything in the menu sounded really good!

    Today, we ordered a hot mocha, a lightly iced matcha, and two salmon toasts. I was blown away by the citrusy flavor on the salmon, and thought the dill was just enough. I highly recommend this shop for a great ambiance. The music was great for studying and blended into the ongoing soft conversations. Next time I come back here, I would order my drinks with less sugar. Otherwise, chefs kiss!

    Breakfast sandwich

    Great grab and go spot! Overall: 4/5 - only giving it a 4 because of the price; otherwise a great spot to grab and go. It's a bit steep, similar to the rest of downtown Toronto. Food: 4.5/5 - they have a breakfast sandwich that has turned into my favourite breakfast sandwich in the GTA (although I haven't had many outside of Tim Hortons and McDonald's haha). Very tasty, with a spicy mayo and egg on a toasted sesame bun. I don't drink coffee though, so can't comment on that. Service: 5/5 - Fast, efficient, and very friendly staff! Lucky that this is right beside my work!

    Campfire and Matcha Lattes

    Versus Coffee is such a vibe. My Torontonian friend found this café for me (thanks Sai!) because I needed to do some work. There's plenty of outdoor seating on the patio (much more than their indoor section). I believe the inside café seats approximately 14-15 people at the time of my visit last week. Nearly everyone inside was working with a laptop. We were lucky to snag the corner spot even as we arrived at around 10:30 am ET. Wi-Fi is free for the first hour and a half. The website states if you need more time, you are asked to make a purchase. Having said that, you're going to want to buy something because everything on the menu from food, coffee/tea/smoothies to pastries looks and sounds absolutely delectable. Not on the menu, but request for latte art if you want some extra pizzazz in your coffee. Breakfast Sandwich ($6.25) - wasn't feeling very hungry, but as soon as I took a bite into this breakfast sandwich, I was suddenly ravenous. Contents include fried egg, tomatoes, spicy mayonnaise, dried parsley, and cheddar cheese between a perfectly toasted sesame bun. The sesame bun made this a sandwich to remember. Something so simple, yet scrumptiously satisfying. Bagel Salmon ($9.99) - slathering of cream cheese, fennel, capers, dried parsley, smoked salmon, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil and sprinkle of pepper sandwiched inside a toasted sesame bagel. Had a bite of this, but immediately went back to devouring my brekkie samich. Avocado Toast ($9.99) - with an add-on of tomatoes ($0.50), avocado, goat cheese, spice seasoning, olive oil, lemon, and chili pepper flakes atop whole wheat sourdough bread. This looked truly appetizing and my friend confirmed it was good. Campfire ($5.25) - had never heard of this latte before, but a quick Google search led me to a coffee concoction garnished with marshmallows. I'm not particularly big on marshmallows, but unlike other coffee shops, Versus uses maple syrup (so Canadian!) in their latte and then topped with slightly torched mini marshmallows. This drink was absolutely delightful and oh, so smooth with its subtle caramel and nutty notes from the maple syrup. One would think it'd be super cloying from the maple syrup and marshmallows, but the ingredients actually added just the ideal amount of sweetness. Matcha Latte ($4.99) - was so ecstatic that my partner ordered his first latte ever! He meant to substitute with almond milk, but completely forgot. I enjoyed the latte, but he was hoping for more matcha in every sip. I had to explain to him that lattes are generally more milk forward. Will try to convince him to try matcha lattes in different cafes! Iced Latte ($5.25) - my friend enjoyed his double espresso shaken with oat milk. This coffee shop has superb lighting and whoever's playlist was on has great taste in music. I was able to concentrate and finish my work. Huge plus for access to outlets too! I appreciated the simply chic, yet calming and modern aesthetic of this place. One thing I did notice was the area leading up to the order counter is rather narrow and seeing firsthand how popular this place is, it can get quite crowded. There's a single washroom which requires a key to access. Versus Coffee has been around for seven years and I hope for its continued success in downtown Toronto. I would certainly come back just for the coffee and breakfast sandwich alone if I visit The 6 again. If you're looking for a place to work or just grab a bite/drink in downtown, look no further than Versus Coffee. Tl;dr *Excellent coffee (campfire!) and breakfast sandwich *Fair prices considering it is in the heart of downtown *Pleasant music *Comfortable place to work/study/pit stop if you don't mind the small space inside *Plenty of outdoor seats on the spacious patio

    Sunday morning tradition, a breakfast sandwich and iced coffee on the patio outside. The staff are excellent. The breakfast sandwich is not bland at all, it's got a bit of a spicy kick which I personally think is delicious. The iced coffee is amazing, this is my favourite coffee shop in Toronto. Expect to pay around $20 for a coffee and a sandwich.

    Colourful latte - hazelnut
    Danthanh L.

    Cute coffee shop! Went on a weekday afternoon with a coworker and got a colourful hazelnut latte. It was smooth, creamy and needed no other additions. They can do a few flavours like maple, hazelnut, etc. Just be sure to ask for colourful latte if you want it to look like mine. Fyi - it does stain your lips so ensure you check yourself. Lol. Space is a bit small with limited seating so I recommend going solo or in pairs max. I would definitely return and recommend, chill vibes and would also be nice in summer when their little patio is open.

    Obviously came here for the colorful latte but accidentally ordered the wrong thing at first. Ha ha let me explain, I originally ordered a chai latte w/ almond milk and asked for the colorful design. My total was $12. I thought to myself, wow! That's one expensive drink but there was a long line and I had already tapped to pay. Something told me to go back to the register to ask and it turned out the barista thought I wanted both a chai latte and a colorful latte (2 drinks). They didn't make the drinks yet and were able to refund me for one. Oddly, I'm not a coffee drinker so when my latte came out I was a little weary I wouldn't like it but it was actually very good. In America anytime I drink an coffee I get an instant stomach ache but here I was just fine. The inside was full (a small space with a couple of tables) so I sat outside on the patio to enjoy my drink. They have free WiFi and the code is on a letter board right at the entrance. I used the bathroom before I left. You need to ask for the key to use it. It was clean. The colorful lattes are not on the menu but they do have them and I'd definitely recommend popping in and enjoying the art.

    Free wifi

    Badass. This place is totally the type of coffee shop you hope to find while traveling. I was visiting Toronto for the first time for work and one of my afternoons was spent working here. Thank goodness we found this place on Yelp because it was a gem. Patio, wifi, coffee, food, and even cocktails, what's not to love? When my group of three arrived the place was popping. Being that it was a beautiful day, the patio was full of folks catching up or working and there was a line almost out the door to order. It was no worries because by the time we ordered, tables opened up so we could plop down to get some work done. While we were in line we couldn't help but notice the colorful lattes coming out from behind the espresso machine. I got the oat milk and my coworkers ordered a matcha and another latte. All three came out looking so beautiful it was hard to take our first sip. After all the photos were taken (Yes, we're all 3 Yelp Elite and we can't help ourselves), we finally enjoyed our drinks. While the space inside is small, the vibes are great and the wifi did the trick for us. If you need a coffee and you're up for a splash of color, Versus Coffee is where it's at.

    Cute coffee shop to work from! Versus coffee has an adorable patio and even cuter space indoors for you to work/ study from! Strong wifi for connection and has an amazing 90s pop playlist in the background that is just at the right noise level. You can find most people around you are also busy working away on their laptops while sipping on their cup of joe! Came here in the afternoon on a weekday and found a spot, table big enough for 1 or 2 laptops. Got a fun pick-me-up - their coloured matcha latte. What a way to brighten up your afternoon! Please note that their milk alternatives are only oat and almond, no soy! They also have lactose free milk for your drinks if needed - you just have to ask for it. Staff are super friendly. There is only one washroom that requires a key to access, so the wait to use this was quite long. Would highly recommend this spot, as it was nice, bright and quiet!

    Super cute cafe with good food and quick service. I ordered an avocado toast and a hot caramel latte. The food was perfect and the service was quick.

    Soo good salmon toast!
    Leanne M.

    I loved this cute coffee shop! They had outdoor seating with plenty of umbrellas for shade and some cozy seating inside. My iced mocha latte was So good! I also went with 1 piece of salmon toast. I loved that they had the option to choose 1 or 2 pieces of toast depending on how hungry you are. It was fresh and delicious. The textures and flavors all went well together. Crunchy bread with savory salmon, salty capers, and cream cheese. If I lived in Toronto, this would be my go-to healthy coffee shop!

    smoked salmon toast & co-kow peanut smoothie
    Alexus T.

    I love coming here when I'm at the office! Super fresh, delicious, and whole ingredients in their snack offerings. I recently had the smoked salmon toast and it was DELICIOUS. I love the cream cheese they use - it's thick and tasty. The co-kow peanut smoothie is also super yummy. Love this place

    This pains me to write but I have to. I love Neo coffee! It's one of the best ones in the city…read more However, I recently visited to try their ube latte and doesn't even begin to cover it. I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family

The staff shared that it's an Earl Grey tea latte. Since this is a flavour I really love, I had to try it out. I don't know if it's the quality of Earl Grey tea leaves or what, this tastes really good and nothing like any other Earl Grey latte I ever had. I hope it sticks around because it really like it! And of course presentation of their drinks is always on point!
