Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Vaughan

"A hot day staple on Ossington, Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery offers customers excellent ice cream sandwiches. Whether you prefer your ice cream inside a sammie, a choux, or a bubble-waffle cone, you won’t be disappointed at this small-but-mighty shop that has both gluten free and vegan options for those interested. Even though this sweet spot “officially” closes at 10:00 p.m., don’t be surprised to find it still serving customers well past closing during the summer months!"

"You’ll likely have to wait in a line out the door to get a taste of Bang Bang Ice Cream – but it will certainly be worth it. The sweet shop is home to the original Toronto ice cream sandwich, often featuring standout flavors such as burnt toffee, orange cardamom and halva. It also offers vegan and dairy-free options so that everyone can leave feeling a little bit sweeter."

"Bang Bang is perfect for satisfying an ice cream sandwich craving. There are countless combinations of flavors from cookie type, including Birthday, Oatmeal and RoCocoa, and ice cream flavors, including Orange Cardamom, Lemon Meringue, London Fog and Burnt Toffee. Try a full sandwich with two cookies for $7 or a half sandwich with one cookie for $4.50."

"When The Pilot opened its doors in 1944, it was originally dedicated to Canadian WWII pilots fighting overseas. Today, The Pilot continues to embody this spirit, with its large rooftop terrace dubbed the “Flight Deck.” The laid-back atmosphere is indicative of Yorkville and is a great option for some much-needed reprieve from the bustling downtown core. On Saturdays, you’ll be able to catch live jazz from some of Canada’s finest musicians, adding to the historic charm of the establishment."

"The Pilot’s rooftop restaurant patio, appropriately named The Flight Deck, is open from March to December, though we recommend enjoying it in the peak of summer for the full experience. You will have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to the top, but once you get up there, you won’t be disappointed. There are views of the city, plenty of sunshine, and cool aviation-themed décor to take in while eating and drinking to your hearts content."

"A post shared by The Pilot (@thepilot_to) on Sep 21, 2019 at 12:30pm PDT. Climb on up to the flight deck to enjoy this rooftop in Yorkville. The retractable awning makes it practically all-weather, so here, patio season extends to December."

"Located on Yonge Downtown, Dineen Coffee is a remarkable and easily visible store for travelers to pass by for a takeaway brought along their trip as well as the typical place that occurs lots of business discussions made by many local officers. Another special factor that attracts customers is the endless golden light brightening during days or nights. This will also bring you to the 90s feelings with the identical decoration inside and outside the house."

"Dineen Coffee Co. is a stylish, retrofitted, cozy coffee shop just south of the Eaton Centre in a super cool old heritage building that was once a hat and fur manufacturing company. Stay in and check out the renaissance revival decor, or get a cup to go and stroll through Cloud Gardens Conservatory just ½ a block west on Temperance Street."

"Thankfully, there are three Dineen Coffee spots dotted around Toronto, meaning there’s always a spot relatively close by. Personally, my favourite is on Gerrard Street East but there’s another great spot on Yonge Street, too. Prices can be a little higher than other spots, but it’s well worth it if you want some good quality coffee."

"Find it: Yorkdale Mall at 3401 Dufferin Street, The PATH Richmond Adelaide Centre Food Court at 121 Adelaide Street West, 1099 Yonge St, and 780 Queen Street West; @nadegetoronto; nadege-patisserie.com. The lowdown: If you can’t get to Paris to satisfy your macaron craving, get thee to Nadège. The legendarily pretty confections at this bright, contemporary bakery are arguably the best in the city."

"The clean modern design of Nadège along with the cafe’s sumptuous cakes, macarons, chocolates, biscuits, marshmallows, pastries and sandwiches have made it must-see-and-taste attraction for locals and visitors alike. If you’re looking for the best macarons in Toronto look no further than Nadège."

"Add a fanciful touch to any birthday celebration with a cake from Nadège. Customers can purchase either a large or individual cake. They come in a variety of gourmet styles and flavours."

"If you think you’ve tried every macaron flavour out there, think again. This new spot in Toronto has mastered the art of creative cooking. They’ve got all the classics like creme brûlée and matcha, plus some crazy picks like cheeseburger and corn."

"Childhood nostalgia meets plant-based baking at this adorable Kensington house, which looks like the kind of place on the block that always had baked goods on the counter — except without a stick of butter or gluten-full flour bag in sight. Everything at Sweet Hart Kitchen is 100 per cent vegan, gluten free and naturally sweetened. Sugar junkies rejoice with seasonal pies, pastries and raw or baked cakes."

"A post shared by Sweet Hart Kitchen (@sweethartkitchen) on May 24, 2020 at 5:25am PDT. Vegan, gluten-free, baked, and unbaked, there’s so much goodness going on at this little sweet shop, it’s ridiculous. Seasonal specials and all-the-time faves are available for preorder online, ready to fill your tummy with deliciousness that, honestly, isn’t even all that unhealthy."

"At Sweet Hart Kitchen you will find amazing baked vegan goods such as raw cakes, cookies, truffles, donuts muffins and more!. There are a ton more Toronto dessert places that are just waiting to be explored!. As you can see this list of the best vegetarian restaurants in Toronto is quite extensive with a variety of options."

"Java House is a Queen West staple for many hungry patrons and for good reason. The menu is incredibly affordable and extensive. Grab one of their salads or sandwiches for under $4.95 with choices like Avocado and Brie, Sautéed Beef, Classic Tuna, Caesar Salad, or Greek Salad."

"A post shared by V (@victoriazysik) on Dec 27, 2015 at 12:16pm PST. If you are looking for authentic bagels in Toronto at unbelievably low-prices, you would not be disappointed at The Bagel House. The good news is they are now operating from several outlets in the Greater Toronto Area."

"Pre-dating the brewery boom in Toronto by a few years, this spot on a low-key Leslieville side street has become one of the top names in Toronto beer. The tiny, suitably baseball-themed taproom is a tad spare – but who cares when you can get fresh pints of classics like the Eephus (still one of my favourite browns in town) and new creations like thirst-crushing fruit-flavoured sours?. Bonus: It’s dog-friendly!"

"Started by a homebrewing husband-and-wife team who turned pro in 2013, this baseball-themed Leslieville brewery quickly rose through the ranks of the local Toronto craft scene. Now, Mark and Mandie Murphy make an entire roster of beer worth cheering for (or with – Go Jays!), from hoppy IPAs to rotating seasonals. Try: The Eephus Oatmeal Brown Ale, one of the brewery’s all-time fan favourites."

"Baseball is the water of life for many Torontonians, so if you’re stopping in the city, why not go with the flow?. Left Field Brewery brews with intense Blue Jays fervor. It’s dubbed ‘Beer for Champions,’ and each iteration nods to the game."

"Distance from downtown: 20 minutes This rustic-chic taproom and store is the brainchild of a husband and wife duo who champion the mantra "less is more" to make well-balanced beers made for easy drinking. The name Muddy York derives from the disparaging term used to describe 18th-century Toronto. Then known as the settlement of York, or Muddy York, the streets were so muddy they were almost as impassable as the 504 King streetcar during rush hour."

"A post shared by Muddy York Brewing Co. (@mybrewingco) on Mar 7, 2019 at 1:37pm PST. Chris from travelingmitch:. If you’re a fan of craft beer in Toronto, you’re going to like the giant sign that you can’t miss at Muddy York that says simply, “craft beer rules.” Agreed."

"Tuesday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Thursday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Friday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Saturday: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM"

"What is it: The cider-obsessed now have a hub to call their own. Run by one of the most popular cider makers in the city, the new facility gives Brickworks the opportunity to experiment with unexpected flavors and techniques, like dry hopping (for a beer-cider hybrid flavor) and aging in tequila barrels. Why go: One of the latest releases is a pink cider made with raspberry and blueberry juice: our new favorite way to rosé all day."

"Beautiful Bluffer’s Park is one of eleven parks along 15 kilometers of the Scarborough Bluffs, the towering 20-story white cliffs that soar above the park and that make this an ultra-scenic spot to hang out. Bluffer’s Park is also where you’ll find one of the best beaches in Toronto, as well as picnic areas, walking trails, photo-worthy lookouts, a boat launch and a full-service restaurant and bar at Bluffer's Park Marina. Best For: Swimmers; Scenic Walks"

"Located in Scarborough, about a 30-min drive from downtown Toronto, Bluffer’s Park is part of the Scarborough Bluffs, a geologic formation that stretches 15km along the shores of Lake Ontario. There are eleven parks found within the Scarborough Bluffs but Bluffer’s Park is one of the most popular spots for locals and visitors alike. Situated right at the foot of the Bluffs, the park offers walking trails, lookout points and picnic and beach areas."

"Bluffer’s Park Beach has a wide variety of available facilities and activities including marinas, parklands, swimming, fishing, and picnic areas. You can also enjoy the geographical feature “the bluffs.”. Parking is available."

"What was once the Gibraltar Beach Sand Dunes is now a nice stretch of sandy shores between Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands. This Blue Flag-certified beach is under the radar and is accessible from the main ferry to Centre Island or the Hanlan’s Point Ferry at the docks. The islands are actually connected, so you can walk from one to the other."

"Located on the southeastern shore of Toronto Island Park away from major park facilities and activity areas, this is one of the quietest beaches on the Island. Ward's Beach is sheltered a bit by the Leslie Split, so its calm water is ideal for swimming. There is usually enough wind here for kites and wind boards, though."

"Image Source Located on the southeastern corner of Toronto Island Park, this stunning beach is away from the crowded places and offers peace like no other!. Looking for some nice beaches near Toronto?. This is surely the one to pick when you wish to relax and unwind with your loved ones on a serene beach."

"Ward’s Island Beach is a beautiful hidden gem with calm and clear waters. Take Ward’s Island ferry to get to the beach. Where: Located on the shores of Lake Ontario on Toronto Islands, Toronto"
