Daily Dose Coffee Bar

Super cute hidden gem, located on a lower floor on John St. I’ve passed this cafe so many times but never went in as its outside look is quite unassuming and not as attractive as the inside when one makes the effort to go in.. I was delighted and happy with this cafe discovery. I believe they were Dark Horse many years ago. They have a wide variety of basic and complex offerings on the menu both for drink and eats. I tried their chocolate almond croissant and it was excellent. Freshly baked, flaky and soft inside. Service was patient and friendly. This has now become one of my favourite cafes!

In the hustling bustling city street of Toronto's entertainment district, down the alley is a a cute little coffee cafe that has been serving the best brewed coffee I have tasted in the GTA. Over the course of summer, autumn and winter, thie cafe will beat the heat, relax you and provide warmth respectively. A hidden gem of a place and the staff and service is top notch. Do try if you are near and new to the area and a sip of their coffee and the atmosphere inside will elate you and make your day!

During my 7-day trip to Toronto, I will have coffee in the morning at a high rate coffee shop near my hotel. This was my first place. The coffee was delicious and the staff was so nice! Plus, I forgot to bring lactobacillus and staff ran over and delivered it to me. So kind 🩵

Daily Dose in Toronto is a charming café that offers a delightful blend of healthy options and comfort food. One standout item on their menu is the black bean empanadas, which are a must-try. These empanadas are perfectly crisp on the outside, giving way to a flavorful filling of seasoned black beans that are both hearty and satisfying. The spices are well-balanced, and the accompanying dipping sauce adds a nice kick. The café itself has a welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of natural light and a cozy vibe. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, Daily Dose delivers with a menu that caters to various tastes, and the black bean empanadas are a standout highlight that should not be missed.

by far my favorite coffee shop in Toronto! I don’t live here but always look forward to giving this place a visit when I’m in town. My favorite order is their pistachio latte and the jalapeño cheddar scone, and my order is consistently delicious. I’ve personally seen the owner be present and invested in making sure things are going smooth in the shop, and it shows with the product and service. can’t wait for my next visit :)

This cute cafe is a hidden gem that is easy to miss because it's downstairs below street level. I love the calm and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the matcha lattes! The roasted matcha latte was very flavourful and the matcha coconut superfood latte was tasty too. I also liked the turkey and bacon sandwich which was surprisingly filling. Love the empanadas, the scones, and the almond croissant! Counter service only. Limited seating is available inside the cafe or on a small patio. This is a great place to catch up with a friend, but not the best spot to work remotely because there's a 90-minute time limit on your table.

Love this cafe! It was my first time hearing about this spot and was very pleased with my experience here. I really like how diverse the menu is and how there’s a great amount of pastries to choose from too. The matcha choco latte was amazing - not too overwhelming and right amount of sweetness. The almond croissant was amazing and lots of filling inside. Great quality drinks and pastries. Only downside there’s a bit of limited amt of seats and not much of a place to work here it’s more of a short quick bite place or a to-go spot.

Small, quaint, Loved the atmosphere.Green Tea matcha is amazing! Best I've ever had. Croissant was delicious.

They offer to heat it up for you as well. Great quality drinks and pastries.

Sunday downtown exploration, this coffee shop showed up on our map on our way to Trinity Bellwoods. Tucked downstairs on John Street, this is a small coffee shop with a few spots for seating and wifi. The menu is nicely designed with a chalk board of all of their drink items and baked goods. I ordered a roasted matcha latte and my husband ordered a flat white. I'm lactose intolerant and they had a variety of alternative Silk brand alternatives from oat milk to almond milk. Roasted matcha was essentially a hojicha latte - I found that there was very little hojicha taste and too much almond milk. The flat white tasted watery as well. Although the drinks missed the mark for us, the customer service was incredible, the cafe was spotless & clean and the cafe had a lot of customers.

This is a cute coffee shop! I loved it! I ordered the matcha latte with vanilla syrup & a ham, egg and cheese sandwich. It was really yummy! Nice & fast customer service. Highly recommend 10/10

My favourite coffee shop we went to while in town. It's down a side street and kind of hidden - look for the white coffee banner and head down the steps. The coffee was great. Lots of options. The pastries were delicious, the almond chocolate croissant was great and they offered to warm them up - not over heat them! Service was good. Would recommend.

As a barista I can assure you that this place and service is grate and coffee is amazing !!!!!Feels cozy inside and outside!

Cute little coffee shop! I had their latte & breakfast sandwich and both were tasty. The ambience was quiet and cozy. Not too crowded when I walked in around noon.

Jack and myself here earlier for real excellent coffee drinks and a chocolate chip cookie. Cool setting in basement area. Some food and cookie options. We like.

Daily Dose Coffee Bar is located on John St. between Adelaide and Richmond where they've replaced the old Dark Horse Espresso location. The coffee shop is located in the basement level of the building where there are a few steps to navigate to reach the entrance. The bar has limited seating where there are some bar stools spread throughout. The café serves a variety of beverages including coffees and teas. There are also baked goods available for purchase. I stopped by Daily Dose Coffee Bar on a Thurs afternoon after work. Service was friendly and my beverage was made at a reasonable time. I opted to get the flat white (single shot) with oat milk. However, if you'd like to substitute for oat milk, the cost is $1.25 (a bit high to be honest). My beverage was quite hot but it was made well. Service was friendly. Overall, good location and friendly staff.

Solid drip and a cute place to sit outside to enjoy the busy city. Good amount of baked goods options as well for a quick bite

I picked up an Americano and broccoli cheddar scones on the way to work. Great little spot with the classic cafe favourites and some interesting lattes. The broccoli cheddar scones was excellent. Fluffy, savoury, herby, crispy edges. Service is friendly. FYI the cafe is a few steps downstairs so may not be accessible for those with mobility issues.

Cute place, great coffee and amazing service.highly recommend checking it out the next time your in Toronto!!

Perfect place to get a cup of coffee, pastry, and work. I love the feature of not having music playing in the cafe - helped me focus a lot better on my tasks. Also had a great almond croissant to go with the coffee. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Toronto.

That was a nice coffee bar where i spending all my afternoons. Staff was very kind and you could talk with them if you are boring&they are not busy. They have lots kind of coffees, tea, and hot chocolates. They also have nice bakery foods. Like cookies and crossant. I've tried cookies and it taste good! And this place is pets friendly, Free WiFi. Nice place!

Pleasant in-door and out-door seating, efficient service (order at the far end of the counter), and a good range of light foods. There is a counter space for laptop users and a few indoor tables. The indoor space is in the basement, the outdoor space is at street level. Not my favorite, but seems to be very popular.

This location, tucked away in a cozy basement on John St., was a Dark Horse coffee back when the pandemic happened. Reborn now as an independent espresso shop. Very good flavor-infused drinks (lavender, turmeric)). But my favorite espresso drink is a cortado and it was great.

Very nice quiet little coffee bar! The owner is very friendly and passionate about her business. Always nice to support a small local business. Highly recommend you to try this little place out if you are around the area and is looking for a quiet place to sit and chill at!

Small coffee bar with limited seating, but excellent coffee drinks at reasonable prices. Most food items are from Petite Thuet so not cheap, but good quality. What sets D.D. apart is its atmosphere and the friendly and attentive staff. Also unusually for Toronto, SPOTLESSLY clean. Fast becoming my go-to for a caffeine break.
