Transcend Coffee and Roastery

Cute place. Delicious coffee and drinks. Their milkshakes here are to die for!

This is my absolute favourite coffee shop. The baristas are super knowledgeable and they know how to make the best cortados.
My partner and I have taken a few of the courses there and highly recommend them!! Especially the Coffee Appreciation Course - you will be a coffee expert at the end of it.
Also, they have the best beans in the city! We haven't found anywhere even comparable to their beans yet.

In short, you NEED to go here!

Great work place cafe/meat shop/craft beer tasting restaurant... YES they have all of those in place. The beer area usually opens up around late evenings and does busy. Meat shop and coffee cafe are right next to each other and open with according hours.

I’ve come here multiple times when I wanted to get work done. They have outlets and plenty of tables for groups or individuals.

Staff is nice and menu is reasonably priced. Would recommend you come here if you’re aren’t looking for a super busy coffee shop that you can work in. It isn’t library quiet so best bring headphones.

Great service, great coffee, great family-friendly atmosphere. They occasionally have unique lattes or coffee drinks (I think they once had a beet latte or something?) so a cool place to try new flavours, or just to get your favourite go-to café drink. The seating isn't the most comfortable, but it's still great for short visits with family and friends. They have a small selection of cookies and and a few pastries, but don't come here if you're looking for lunch. (Head down the block to Blue Chair Café or Farrow for that!) One bummer is the to-go coffee cups are leaky around the lid. (Every time!) So I advise coffee to stay, or bring your own to-go cup which they will happily fill for you. (Eco-friendly option anyways!) Ritchie market is always bustling on weekends. Very popular spot in our local Ritchie community. Also, shout out to Summer who works there, always SO friendly and I love her! :)

Great stop for a cup of proper coffee! Never had good coffee before? Do you like to drink burnt bean Starbucks and Tim Horton's? Forget that trash. Come here for a cup of properly-astringent coffee.
