Page One Coffee + Bar

Very good coffee shop. They also have delicious pastries and food. The ambience is very nice. Good place to enjoy the coffee, do computer work or meet with friends. The service is also very good.

I enjoyed coming here in the past as the coffee and food is great, but have recently noticed the quality go down. I used to like the smoked salmon bagel as it was big and flavourful however I noticed the bagel is smaller, not a lot of salmon, and less flavourful. My friend and I agreed the ice latte was tasteless as it was just milk and I had no ice in my latte! The staff added the ice after I mentioned it, but was still lukewarm. Nice study area and plenty of tables but I agree with other comments that there are many flies in the cafe. Other than that, the staff is nice.

Went with a friend for a brunch date in the late morning on a Saturday. Came here with their avocado toast and peanut butter smoothie in mind. The avocado toast was great, I got two slices ($15.99) with added salmon on both (+$5.99) which was ~ $25. The toast was on the harder side, but that’s how I like it, and something in the avocado or toppings had a salty taste which got me constantly going for another bite. Unfortunately they were not serving the peanut butter smoothie - not sure why, but I got a London fog instead. Was on the smaller side and seemed like it was more foamy milk than tea. Didn’t have much taste. Bill came to $30. A bit expensive in my opinion but I was quite hungry today so if I went back another time it would be more affordable since I would be buying less. Very cool decorations, lots of seating and the place is laid out nicely. Good lighting and the music was at a good, not too load volume. Lots of people studying. I recommend trying this place out with a friend or if you want a change of scenery for studying.

Really nice cafe, with lots of pastry options, sandwiches and pizzas. The coffee is decent. Lots of seating with a nice patio. Good service.

4.5 stars. Lovely interior with ample seating. Drinks were decent though not the best I’ve tried. Tried a croissant and that was slightly stale (feels like it may have been out for half a day, although we did visit for closer to morning to noon time). Boardgames are available in the back near the couch area. Good spot to sit down to chat or study while having a decent drink / quick bite, but I would not make a special visit for just their beverages/food.

Super tasty food, and chilled atmosphere. The price is also reasonable for the food amount and quality. I liked the Brie and salami sandwich.

The decor of this coffee shop is striking in the way that it employs many typewriters and allusions to the craft of writing, even in the toilets. The seats are comfy and wifi is available. The really kind waitress recommended us the Spanish latte, which was not too sweet but packed a mellow flavour that eased our overheat on an especially sunny day in Toronto. If I lived in this city, I know I would frequent this gem of a cafe.

Delicious London fog and avocado toast! There are so many big tables and chairs to sit at! It'd a great place to read a book and get work done

Super cute coffee shop and a great place to study. From the aesthetics to the atmosphere to the friendly staff, this is one of my favourite coffee shops downtown by far. They keep the washrooms relatively clean however I just wish they'd wipe down and sanitize the tables after someone left. They also have a great selection of goods at the front of the store! Highly recommend checking this place out.

Page One is a nostalgic spot near the TMU campus. I used to come here back in 2019 and do work between classes, and the cozy vibe hasn't changed since then. Some friends and I tried some of their drinks and sweets, the highlight for me was definitely the Pecan Square!

This is a coffee shop near the Ryerson (TMU) campus. They serve coffee, food, as well as alcohol. There is a lot of seating inside (maybe around 30). Pros: + Not too loud or busy when I went there, although I could see it getting busy. + Coffee is decent. I tried the matcha and mocha latte - they weren't too sweet. Cons: - Coffee size is smaller than other stores. - Limited staff.

Extremely slow service , paying $10 for a smoothie didn't expect to wait 15 mins for it

Simple, unpretentious little spot just north of Dundas, offering excellent coffee and a nice selection of breakfast goodies. A small patio outfront and a few tables inside, though most people seem to prefer takeout. It's just 50 yards from a very plain Starbucks, so if you would rather give your money to a hard-working small business, then this is your place.

Page one is a cozy little spot to get some work done. It has ample seating and gives off a collective work space vibe. They had a great playlist during my visit (i.e. SZA and Frank Ocean). You have access to beanfield internet for 1 hour as well. I had a great cold brew, above average compared to most places! I will definitely be back if I ever need a space to hang out and do some casual work on a laptop.

This place would be perfect if they played less obnoxious music. As someone who's often overstimulated by specific types of music there were a few times while I was in here where I had stop everything I was doing to cover my ears. Otherwise everything was perfect. I love the inside and the coffee and the style and the owners. The music just made it hard for me to stay focused. Its still definitely bearable, since it isnt all their music that is obnoxious just a few songs every once in a while.

Cool vibe, good coffee, and friendly workers. Really like the artwork there too. Definitely worth checking out.

The good: The latte art is cool and it seems like they make a lot of different designs. I got a teddy bear and thought it was cute. The bad: I got a matcha latte and asked for soy milk since I wanted a lactose free alternative. It was one size (small) and the total came up to $7.20....what? I thought it was super expensive for what you get. It also tasted pretty mediocre. Maybe I haven't tried enough good matcha latte to compare, but certainly didn't have me wanting more. If you have the money and the right taste buds, this is for you... otherwise hard pass.

The café is spacious, and the atmosphere is friendly. I highly recommend trying one of the various lattes on the menu; the only problem is that the drink is served at perfect drinking temperature, which makes it tempting to chug it down at at once. I will be coming here over and over.

!! Check out the art installation in the bathrooms. Such a nice touch !! Otherwise a great downtown café. I was drawn here from the gorgeous pictures I saw on Yelp. Unfortunately we didn't get rainbow latte art, but I thoroughly enjoyed my hazelnut latte. We arrived around 3:30pm on a Thursday and it was packed, but got a table within five minutes. This is by far the largest cafe I've ever set foot in, as usually one would expect maybe 20 seats. The lighting is pretty dim in here, especially as it now gets dark by 5pm. They also have an interesting mix of music, from mainstream to indie, but overall a chill vibe and decent for a study session. I definitely see myself returning to Page One.

As an exchange student, it's been difficult at times to find somewhere that gives me comfort when I'm feeling homesick, but Page One has become my safe space. It's calming "typewriter" aesthetic and spacious seating has become a place I've laughed, cried, studied and hung out at for most the days I've been in Toronto. The staff are some of the friendliest people I've met here and their food and drinks are perfect for light snacks or a heavier lunch (and I'd personally recommend their Pepperoni Pizza and Green Booster smoothy, or their Mojito's if you're in need for something stronger)! As I'm finishing my exchange in Toronto soon, I'm sad to say goodbye to my favourite place in Toronto, but it will always hold my favourite memories of my time here and it'll be the first place I visit when I come back to Canada. 11/10 - Thank you for hosting some great memories

Quaint coffee shop that is also a beer bar. Page One was down the street from my hotel and I stopped by here twice during my stay in Toronto. My first trip I had a matcha green tea latte with almond milk and some vegan energy bites and my second stop was for breakfast where I had a dirty chai latte with almond milk with a breakfast sandwich. The matcha latte had a beautiful latte art design and the energy bites were filling and made for a good midday snack. The chai latte was one of the best I've had, you can tell that they use fresh real ingredients and not any fake syrupy stuff. The breakfast sandwich had eggs, bacon, gouda and tomato pesto, it was delicious. Page One not only serves pretty drinks but the taste is as good as it looks!

WOW this place is ALMOST as good as it gets. It's probably my FAVORITE cafe in Toronto. Someone from my work recommended it to me, and I live so close to this place that I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. The ambience is great. It gave me cool, fun and friendly hostel vibes from backpacking in Europe. Music wasn't too loud and it was filled with people (students and non-students) just working, sprinkled in with the occasional dates here and there. All in all, I felt very comfortable and very at ease. This will definitely be one of my to-go cafes in Toronto. I had a great time with my friends, just hanging out and working. But.. I ordered a matcha latte and it came out to be almost 7 dollars. You know what I could buy without almost 7 dollars? I would not order the matcha latte ever again.

Good food, good coffee and cute baristas :p Came by during my breaks from lectures and it was extremely busy. I snuck in and tiptoed past the barista explaining I was checking if seats were available - there weren't, but luckily, a pair was getting up and leaving so we managed to snag their seats. I got their chai apricot yogurt, along with a vanilla latte and an egg muffin. Delicious all around! Although, I would pass on the yogurt next time, as it's really healthy and the apricot acts as the sweetner. I'd say Page One is more on the pricey side for cafes but extremely worth it. It is a good atmosphere to be in. They also offer a bar so I'd like to swing by one night and check it out.

Was meeting a friend in the area and decided to go to this place based on the great reviews I read. The prices are crazy! I paid around $7 for a hazelnut latte, my friend paid around $5.60 for an iced green tea. She did not like it, nor did I like my latte. There was no hazelnut flavour in it, it was overly sweet, and it was not even a full cup! The photo is from before I started drinking it, this much for $7!! Not mentioning that I had to wait so long for it to get ready as if they forgot about my order for 10 minutes. The person who was supposed to take my order ignored me for 5 minutes even though I saw that he saw me waiting to order. Will not be back to this place. So many other good coffee shops to go to.

Heard about this place from a coworker and saw the instagram pics and was hyped to check this place out. It has a really nice modern feel but a vintage vibe with the typewriter theme, seems like it would be a really nice place to chill or do some work. Tried the latte and it was very rich and flavourful, and the art was really nice but I'll come back for the rainbow latte art next time. Also tried the salami and brie sandwich and it was tasty. A nice lunch overall. Overall a friendly neighbourhood cafe, and I would come back again to try their other drinks.

I've been there once, and it was the best experience! I loved the service, the interior was so chill and cozy. Perfect Study spot!

This is definitely the best coffee shop in the neighbourhood! Wonderful coffee selection, delicious Pluck tea selection, a whole bunch of tasty snacks and meals! It also functions as a bar so whatever you're into drinking, you can get it here! If you like cider, definitely check out their drink menu, it's rare that you see as many options as this place has. This location is also BEAUTIFULLY accessible to mobility devices, with a push button entrance, lots of ground level seating, and an accessible washroom. The atmosphere is great; they play fantastic music, have rly interesting and gorgeous art and decor, and have a very spacious. And the thing that sets it apart from Balzacs and the like nearby? Open late! I've been looking for the perfect coffee shop open past 10 in the downtown core and this is it. Seriously, do yourself a favour, bring that project you've been putting off and work on it here, get some chips and guacamole and a delicious hot beverage, feel great supporting accessible businesses!

Gahhh, I love the interior of this place; it's so retro and unique! They have a display of different typewriters... their rating on the cool scale just hit max. Okay, fan-girling about the interior aside, the coffee here is pretty good. I got the latte for a decent price and decent size. The taste was great and the latte art was beautiful. They have talented baristas here. They're also super friendly and down-to-earth. My first experience here was a good one because of that. They also have a points card here! It's located downtown, but kind of in the middle of nowhere... off to the side of a really sketchy road. Don't let looks deceive you though, this place is not sketchy at all. I'm actually really glad I discovered it. It seems like a place that would be overlooked; totally underrated!

All the latte art photos made me think the coffees would be good here. We had Nutella Latte and Mocha and both were very milky. Mocha latte had no flavour of chocolate or espresso, just tasted like drinking hot milk. Nutella latte had some flavour of nutella, but still pretty bland in general. Some people may like milky coffees but that is not my cup of tea. Latte art was good, but there is more to coffee making imo.

I'd been eyeing this place for a while on Yelp but hadn't found my way to the area until recently. The cafe has a very welcoming feel to it, with quaintly decorated bookshelves and long wooden tables. I really like that this place has a lot of options, such as almond or soy milk, lots of Pluck tea and specialty coffee options. The baked goods (cookies and muffins) looked fresh and appetizing. Their refrigerated food area also had a lot of healthier food choices such as protein and veggie bowls that are compatible with gluten free and vegetarian diets. I ordered a London Fog with almond milk to go. I appreciated that it wasn't filled with all sorts of artificial sweeteners and maintained the inherent sweetness of the almond milk. I wish Page One had been around when I was a student! I would have definitely spent a lot of time there. Would definitely come back if in the area. 3/100 (2017)

I was not a fan of this place. Came on a Friday afternoon and wasn't really greeted when I came in - also there were flies everywhere that made it difficult to focus. It was also dimly lit and not that great for working. To add to this, the coffee wasn't too great either and left me wanting more. I suggest going to Mast Coffee down the block instead.

Lovely latte art, lactose free milk options, great service, hipster interior, and free WiFi! What else could you ask for?! Just wish I also had the rainbow cool latte art...

The service at this place is always the same super super slow. I ordered a avocado toast. Even though I was there first they served before other people and made their coffee. By the time they put the avocado together my toast was no longer warm. $9 15 minutes Everything is expensive

The perfect cafe /bar for a University campus. I've been coming here for years and I'm surprised that I haven't left a review. Open till 10pm, super fast WiFi 252/196, many electrical outlets, big desks for group or individual work. Nice area to chill in the back for groups. Breakfast sandwiches all day, options for beer and drinks, chill music. Three washrooms which is great for a place this size. They have a patio. Definitely recommended.

Great new addition to the historic Merchandise Building! Page One is spacious with large windows that are great for soaking up some natural light and/or people watching. Seating options are diverse, with a communal table up front, a number of individual tables, a bar, and a small cozy lounge area in the back for intimate hangouts. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the place is also beautifully decorated and clean. We ordered a cortado and an americano from the friendly owner, Firas. Our drinks (made with Propeller coffee) arrived quickly and were delicious! With easy access to power outlets and free wifi, this was truly a great place to sit and work for a few hours. Looking forward to coming back and trying their food and craft beer. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area!

Great service + wonderful atmosphere; busy but not crowded, lively but not obnoxious. Great place to grab a coffee to go through their app, work for a few hours with plenty of outlets, tables and Wifi, or catch up with a friend over cocktails. Clearly well managed but not corporate. My only gripe is that the internet is a free Beanfield connection that kicks you out after an hour which can be a hassle if you're working online. Would love to see a dedicated WiFi in the future, but it's a transparent blemish on my new, versatile favorite spot.

Had burnt espressos last night. Very dark place at night! Lots of room, and just a couple of students doing work on their computers last night. Close to the Ryerson campus. Will go back to try the lattes instead!

Really cool cafe/bar with awesome lattes and local craft beers on tap and many more unique canned beers. Their cocktails mixes in the evening are amazing as well. Be sure to ask Cody for a unique mix, he is always working on creating new concoctions and he will even take naming suggestions for his cocktails. Page One has great music selection that is played at levels to facilitate conversations or getting work done. I have spend hours working remotely from Page One and find it very comfortable. Plus I was pleasantly surprised one Friday evening when I found out that they host local bands, but check with them for dates if you want to attend one of the live events. Alternatively, Saturday nights are board game night at Page One. Also, give their weekend brunch Ruben Sandwiches a try. That is one of their best sandwiches. Overall, the staff and owners at Page One are very friendly, and open to conversations if that is what you are looking for. And they are also on Ritual, so you can order your food from the app and then pick up your order and skip the line. Super convenient in the mornings on the go.

Keeps evolving in fresh and awesome ways. Page One is your favorite morning coffee (pretty awesome), your school project meeting spot, your lunchtime gem when you are training across the street or at Ryerson, a great happy hour spot (yep $2 off), and your great venue...(was there randomly for a Bosnian party), now also your brunch spot. Hats off. Well done.

The food here is DISGUSTING and it's an open kitchen so you get to see exactly why. "The chef" is a teenager in a tracksuit! He is also the one taking your order and handling the cash and cards. He makes your sandwhich in 10 min and here is what I watched him do: 1. Didn't wash his hands and didn't use gloves EVEN AFTER TOUCHING THE CASH MACHINE!! 2. Constantly picked at his eyes and nose 3. Answered his phone twice while making the food.. 4. And wiped his hands on his pants multiple times while touching the food IT WAS SO GROSS!!!! How can you honestly expect someone to eat food that is prepared LIKE THIS?? And why am I paying 10$ for a sandwich that has so much germs in it. Not to mention I could've got a better sandwhich from Tim Hortons for half the price! I forced myself to have a bite only because I felt bad for the money I had spent. To my surprise (NOT!!!) it was disgusting. I don't like to shame places on Yelp but don't eat here unless you want food poisoning. Also... please send a health inspector to this place because this is not ok!

Met a friend here, for a quick cup of coffee. The cafe is located at a nice location. The interior is decent and basic. Coffee was excellent.

Right by Ryerson campus. Came during the day, on a weekday, so no reviews on the bar. Very friendly staff, great cappuccino, okay prices, free wifi (an hour at a time). Busy with lots of seating cramped into a small space, dim lighting, a few outlets available. Has a bit of a basement nook feel. They play their music really loudly, kind of hard to concentrate if you're there to do work. I would prefer to hang out here rather than try to focus on working simply due to the volume.

Work nearby and something get a nicer coffee and pastry from there to enjoy, and which is not bad at all. Staff is nice and the place is cool with nice music and dark cool ambiance like a bar (which is that page one is also a bar cafe at night). Nice for a date or meet up with 3 to 4 but I dull for a large group. Sure, I will go some other time.

I love that this writers bar/cafe is sooo close to my place! It's cool to just chill and hangout with your friends. I held a book club here.. very welcoming servers and staff. AND they have board games and couches in the back. #weekendmade Only it's a bit dark.

Ordered warm almond milk at Page One. My expectation is a warm plain white frothy drink. Instead, I received a colourful swan in my almond milk! Made my day!

Good vibes, fast wifi, and reasonably priced coffee :) Happened to catch a live performance on Sunday afternoon when I was there too!

Came here to study on a sat afternoon before classes began, so it was relatively quiet. I'm not sure why but the ambience here really allows you to focus without distractions. The coffee is decently priced, I got a latte and it came in a big cup! Nothing too much to complain about. If I was ever in the area again, I would definitely come back here to study! It's a cool vibe and it seems like they turn into a bar area during nighttime.

Page one is where I enjoy rich coffee and a great local beer and music all at the same place. You can work, study or party there. I held 3 private parties where i booked the entire cafe and turned it into a party space and hired a DJ and the owners were super nice and understanding, they even customized special coctails for my birthday party with a very special alcohol drink tgat i love from my homeland. They go above and beyond to make your event special at very reasonable prices for downtown Toronto. I recommend page one for corporate and private events, as well as just chilling or socializing or meetings. BEST cafe in town hands down.

Awesome atmosphere and actually amazing coffee. Got a cappuccino for $4.20 and had a good laugh about it later because I'm 10 years old.

The baristas are so pretty and their smiles warm my heart :) good place to chill and study

I came here to catch up with a friend and was welcomed by a very sweet lady who was manning the til. She did give many suggestions but I'd have to agree with another customer who said the prices are a little on the pricier side. The ambiance was nice but not enough to justify the prices.

Another gem around the Ryerson campus! I tried the ctrl alt delete tea and it's actually SO GOOD. 5/5 for tea if I'm basing it solely on taste. Very aromatic and better than most teas I've tried at Davids Tea. Price wise, it was a little expensive in my opinion. It was around $3.50 for a cup smaller than a grande at Starbucks so the tea didn't last me very long but it was very very good. Their menu selection seems pretty good, I already know what I want to try next time I'm there. I checked out Page One because I wanted a spot to do some work but when I went around 2:30pm on a Thursday it was PACKED (not just by students either). Hopefully next time I can get a seat because the cafe is cute as helllllll. There's a huge wall of decor and I'm definitely going to try to grab a cool pic there for the gram In summary: try the ctrl alt delete tea but be vary of prices and don't expect a seat!

Great study/work spot near the dt core. They have a huge selection of coffees, teas, kombucha, and even alcohol. I've been here a few times and it's the perfect atmosphere to get work done. They have tons of tables and outlets inside. The food and drinks themselves are decent. I tried the mango kombucha once and it wasn't that great tbh--not enough carbonation--I'd much rather a GT's kombucha. I don't remember what drink I got the other time tbh--it was prob an iced coffee and clearly wasn't memorable.

Environment was really nice, filled with students working on their laptops and people having business meetings. I didn't know what to order since majority of their menu was coffee based and I'm not really a big fan of coffee. I opted for the hot chocolate, I liked how the barista made latte art for the hot chcolate. There was a second upper deck where there are more seats. In the end, the hot chocolate was okay, didn't really wow me though.

How could I NOT love a coffee bar with a liqour license and vintage typewriters all over the place? I need to come here and write... Solid offerings and a great space to enjoy them in. What's not to love?

Awesome cafe with tons of seating. High quality coffee, pretty latte art, house-made sandwiches, and a really large selection of baked goods (I've tasted all of the pastries and there aren't any I didn't like which never happens for me!) Also if you ever want to grab a drink they offer $5 tall cans every day Jackpot!

A hidden gem tucked away by RU's campus, this place has the perfect moody atmosphere catering to the academic and work crowd as a cafe and cocktail bar hybrid. Incredibly friendly and cool hipster baristas, jazz music/good vibes and experience all around.
