Starbucks

They have everything a coffe shop should have. The staffs are very friendly. I usually want extra whipped cream or caramel in my orders, and they actually add more to my cups, not like the other shops where they don’t really do that. Plus, the second floor is the best of any coffee shop I’ve been to in Toronto.

This is my favourite Starbucks in the Yonge/​Eglinton area. The upstairs seating area is great — it’s large and has a cozy feel with the wood floor, big wood tables at the back, etc.
This is a nice contrast to all the tiny and sometimes aesthetically ugly locations in the area.
The staff are also nice, which is a bonus.
If just want somewhere to go read a book or talk to a friend it’s great.
HOWEVER, if you need to go somewhere to do work that requires an internet connection, the wifi here is absolutely awful. Really really awful. Painfully slow and inconsistent awful. I have gone there about five times since moving to the area a couple weeks ago, and without exception the wifi always sucked.
I now go to Istanbul Café at Eglinton/​Redpath if I need wifi, since their wifi has been consistently good (and I like the décor, the staff are nice, etc.).

I really enjoy having my latte at this Starbucks location. The staff are extremely friendly and very efficient. There’s a second floor seating area, which I am a fan of. It’s a great place to just sit and relax. The location is a little ways from Eglinton Station, but it’s conveniently located around many awesome restaurants (after dinner coffee, tea).
Good for: coffee, tea, studying, dates

I find this location very cosy, and it has something for everyone when it comes to seating. It does get crowded in the mornings on the weekends and the way it’s laid out makes it hard to even get in the door to line up and place your order.
Pet peeves about this Starbucks: the barista with a very annoying singsongy voice that grates on my nerves like nails on a blackboard; and the very watered down taste to their blonde roast. When it’s made well True North is a pleasant, mellow blend with character, but they tend to screw it up here, so I have to get them to blend it with Pike to make it more palatable.

Basic Starbucks but with nice study area upstairs. Lots of outlets and seating, perfect for getting some work done (if you’re lucky enough to be there when there aren’t any ‘extreme talkers’- you know who you are…)
My table needed a wipe down but overall it was a clean space. Didn’t hear any music or feel any heat or AC so ill have to see what the winters will bring in this place. They could warm/​cheer the place up a bit.
And frankly the staff was friendly but distracted. But at least they have my fave– cheesecake brownies.
Beats the Second Cup and Timothy’s in the area though. Sorry Canada, I wish it weren’t so.
I RECOMMEND– Hazelnut latte or spicy pumpkin latte
EXTRA TIP– Two large tables for group studying and outdoor seating for those grasping at the last days of summer.

Good coffee, very nice friendly staff.
Agree with the earlier comments just a nice place

Go UPSTAIRS!
Such a cozy and inviting space… fireplace, armchairs, bistro style round tables, communal tables… and electric outlets! It is just so quiet… feels like a library… without the kids section. shhhh…
Stay Downstairs?!
Big windows overlooking both Mt Pleasant and Soudan… There are also a patio on the side too for warming weather… A little more noisy. A little more relax…
A little sad to see the Sweet Gallery closed… but this is a nice Starbucks!

This Starbucks just took over a little sweet gallery spot. Right when that store closed down I said to myself, «Starbucks is going to open here», and voila! A Starbucks opened up. I knew it; am I psychic or what?!
This location has two levels– the bottom level is small, has some window seats, and the coffee bar. The entire upstairs is a seating area and the place is very clean, quiet and cozy. The staff working here are super friendly, homely and very efficient.
This new Starbucks location has become my favorite in the area.
