Low-key and bookish in the best way. Library Coffee is a solid spot for working, reading, or just disappearing for a quiet hour.

Amazing oat latte. Perfect ratio of espresso to oat milk, and the right beans for latte. If you like your lattes foamy, you will love this one. Barista was extremely friendly. Overall just a good experience

Recommend: Pour-over with house vanilla syrup and milk – lovely soy-honey aftertaste, though a bit pricey at around $10. Also good: Cappuccino – balanced and smooth. Skip: Cold brew – too bitter for my taste.

[Matcha review only] Veeeery underwhelming matcha latte with a disappointing price tag. I ordered a standard iced matcha latte with less sugar at The Library and the total came to almost $9. I don't usually order matcha outside because of how pricey it is nowadays, but I was craving it and now I'm regretting it. The matcha is so incredibly faint, it honestly just tasted like I was drinking milk. The staff were so incredibly nice, but the matcha latte was just not it. I'd maybe come back and try their coffees since that's what they're known for, but there is a Matcha Matcha across the street if you specifically want a matcha latte!

For those in the Dundas area toward the AGO, The Library is a great place for a good coffee and a quick snack. The cafe is small, but offers excellent service and a great selection of coffees and quick snacks, such as cookies, cakes, and more. It can be accessed via the St. Patrick subway exit and several subway lines. The location is wheelchair-accessible, allowing for entry by customers with disabilities. It also has a spring-operated door. It's worth adding to your list of good places for quality coffee.

I always get the coffee and matcha here, and they’re amazing! Both drinks taste great and give me the perfect boost to stay energized and focused throughout the whole day at work. Definitely one of my go-to spots 🫠
