    Truly a difference in a coffee shot. Unique ambiance along with the usual coffee house experience it offers a mood enhanced never before seen but well done. Indoor social spacing allows group gatherings. Coffee and hot chocolate were delicious and service top notch.

    If "Mood Enhancing Coffee" doesn't catch your attention, the bright colors should. The decor and vibe of the place is very laidback and somewhat tropical, so it feels like a fun spot to be at. I got a regular iced Latte with Almond Milk with their mushroom Brain Boost addition (had to try it). The drink tasted good, but I personally didn't really feel any immediate effects from the mushroom boost. Perhaps it's just a minor gimmick for taste enhancement, but the drink itself was quite good already. Nonetheless, would recommend! Maybe just not the mushroom boost part 🀷

    Very cute and trendy! Easy to spot from the beautiful floral sign out front. Not much seating inside but we snagged a nice seat by the window. The baristas are super sweet and knowledgeable. The menu is fairly small and simple. Drinks were tasty and aesthetically pleasing!!

    I had to rewrite this review bc I had a pretty wonderful experience here yesterday. I went in and I was the only one there, so the staff were so attentive & considerate! buddy was teaching another staff member and they pulled a couple of espresso shots in order to make sure the best one went in my drink. The care for quality is sweet! When I finally got the drink, it was wonderfully sweetened and perfectly drinkable. There is nothing I would have changed about my drink! To boot, buddy kept called me love! AW! It put such a smile on my face. How incredibly kind and endearing. AW! AW AW!!

    Popped in to grab a cup of matcha latte. Cute cafe, albeit small with limited seating. My matcha was rich and nice - I especially like how there's no extra charge for non-dairy alternatives, which is uncommon here.

    Found this cool little coffee shop not too far from our hotel. Walking in was a very cool vibe, and they specialize in being a more health conscious coffee shop. The lovers latte and the mochas were both excellent. They have their own syrups that give them a floral note! 5/5 would be back when in town

    Great Coffee - Fabulous Location - Highly Recommended β€”β€”β€”β€”- Detailed Review Below β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Strange Love Coffee was literally my go-to place, and my poison of choice, for many years when I worked 300m away from this place at the intersection of Spadina and Adelaide. The coffee was always awesome, the staff interesting, and the place inviting. It is people that make a place comfortable and I met some very interesting people that worked there (an Australian sojourning in Toronto for a few years with her boyfriend, a barista who was a full-time actress with active stage plays, to name a few). One of the best coffee shops in Toronto. Food/ Quality - 5/5 Location/ Ambiance - 5/5 Price (Value for Money) - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Others 5/5 (Design) #OnlyAcceptAwesomeCoffee #AroundTheWorldin80Cups

    I stopped here on a whim and had the best latte I've had so far in my life. Extremely kind and helpful staff. Even helped me navigate Toronto. If you see it walking by, it really is worth stopping in.

    It’s a cute cozy cafe with limited seating. I tried their lover’s latte with coconut milk and it was pretty good!

    Excellent experience with attentive and communicative Barista. Enjoyed the little Customized Post-It Note that was included with the Tea Gathering Experience and especially am enamoured with the Mushroom Boosts offered. Tried the Energy Boost in the morning, then went and saw the Warhol Exhibit (I swear I felt more focussed and positive) and then the Stress Reset / Reduction Boost in the afternoon at the Queen West Location where the Barista was incredibly accommodating and happily prepared my Japanese Green Tea to stay (something not a lot of people are doing on Queen West these days (fostering a for here environment)). Five Stars! Highly Recommend!

    We were just visiting from the USA, but we loved this place! I had the Lovers Latte and it was excellent. The milk was so silky smooth and the espresso was great. My boyfriend got a tea latte that he actually really enjoyed as well. We went back the next day too!

    Cute boutique cafe with cozy interior and great space to grab a coffee to work or chat with friends. I tried the Signature Lover’s Latte with a Brain Boost to enhance cognitive focus. (You can choose energy boost or stress relax) The boosters are made from mushroom properties

    Really easy to find location. I loved the mushroom brain boosters. Cute indoor setting with tables around but not many. Unsure about wifi but would definitely come here to catch up with a friend or just for a quick caffeine hit. Really friendly staff. Loved the whole vibe.

    Almost every time I have visited Strange Love there is a line out the door; and for good reason. The coffee is delicious and I love the magic mushroom shots that can be added - something I've never seen before. The baristas are always friendly and make beautiful latte art. My go-to cafe in the area. Great atmosphere :)

    I was lucky enough to try their drip coffee, as well as americano, and the espresso. I really liked their coffee but I wish that they had proper ceramic mugs and glassware for their drinks! Next time, I’d love to try out their pastries πŸ˜‹

    I got an iced lovers latte and it was absolutely delicious. The Tonka bean syrup added such a unique flavour that I really enjoyed. I don't know if the hefty price is worth it for the other more standard drinks, but I recommend trying this one out

    Tried the for the soul mocha latte and lovers latte. For the soul was very mid, tasted like dark chocolate milk. I would say Starbucks iced dark mocha is better. Lovers latte was average, not very smooth. For the price of $7 it is a pass in my book.

    Not so strange after all. Offers variety of unique drinks exclusive to their brand representation. Even their London fogs are created with their kind of special syrups and loose leaf bags. It's very unique. My favourite part of this place was the insightful wall. Full of dreams, quotes, and aspirations. It's a magical wall that you should definitely get your fingertips on. It's the perfect manifesting wall because you never know who might see it yet that's the strangest part to a synchronicity, you'll start to believe in magic. You'll never fall out of love of what you are passionately destined for.

    I tried the Lover's latte and it was very good. The mugs they use are lovely and really add to the experience. They offer many options to choose from (with dairy-free milk alternatives). Very trendy place as well, and the wall with the sticky notes is super cute. Cheerful atmosphere perfect for dining in with friends. If you need to use the washroom you'll have to leave the actual cafe and walk to another area in the main building.

    Cool spot that makes mushroom-infused coffee/tea with different types of effects. I got the brain boost. "Drinking our coffee may give you superpowers" is what their cups say. Quite delicious. And good workspace! A little loud though :/ Vibe - 5/5 Seating - 4/5 Noise level - 3/5 Wifi - 5/5 Coffee - 5/5

    Best cappuccino in TO, very nutty flavourful shot , extremely creamy and perfect blend. Used to be Shy fan but this is bit better.

    Cute little cafe with seating area and amazing coffee. The juices are delicious - try the sparkling turmeric lemonade. They sell really pretty succulent plants, too. @spiffingtravels

    Many times passed this place and finally stopped by. Very friendly staff and great coffee. Protein bar is top of the notch

    A joke. Freezing day in Toronto. We arrived, ordered and pay the coffee and after that the guy told us that he was closing 5 minutes later. Let people know before they make they order. Part of the plan is to get warm an have a nice time in your local.

  • 5/5 Molly F. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the vibe here, it’s such a tranquil place to sit an enjoy a coffee. The chai latte I had was very tasty and pleasantly presented. Will definitely come more often!

  • 5/5 Mike H. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent coffee (cortado, latte, flat white), smart & friendly staff, but the 'mood music' leaves a lot be be desired. There are countless alt rock, rock, urban, hip hop, jazz, classical tunes (please, no pop music or country) that would better suit the mood, and definitely not a recycle of the same electronic tunes.

  • 5/5 Sovereign N. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place!! Coffee is always a 10/10 and the people are always super cool.

  • 2/5 Syed M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to try the nitro coffee. Not for me. I guess regular old cold brew suits me better. Not much of a coffee geek but 6 dollars and change feels a bit pricey for coffee that doesn't feel good!
