    Coffe is really good! I had an iced americano but I will come back for sure for a cappuccino and pastries. Everything looks really delicious. It’s a small but cozy coffee shop.

    It is a nice spot to grab a coffee. When I gave it a visit, I asked for one almond croissant and one chocolate croissant. The owner told me that he ran out of almond croissant, he can make it for me though! I kinda surprised by hearing that and it was quite nice! And finally the chocolate croissant... it is a-must-to-try. I can easily say that it is the best chocolate croissant I've ever had.

    Easily the best coffee in the city. Amazing staff, good prices and a lovely selection of premium roasts. However you want it, espresso, pour over, latte, cortado, they've got you covered. If you love a strong espresso, try the Forte. If you're a smoother sipper, go with the Alto. Can never to wrong with Rialto! ❤️

    Staff is nice and welcoming. Pastries are tasty. They also offer some interesting italian sodas. Place itself is quite small, coffee is great since beans are very rich. Ps: place got renamed to Rialto, but u might still see old name Milano outside. Don't be confused with search like me, its just near 266 building entrance on second floor

    Okay so... The signs outside the storefront will read "Milano" because that's the parent company and roastery that the coffee comes from (in Vancouver). However, Rialto seems to be a local (re)branded name for the cafe and you will see that on their coffee cups and some of the writing inside the cafe. Aside from that little bit of confusion, I really like this place. It's quaint, relatively calm, and tucked away in plain sight with a sleek feel to it. I had an iced Americano and it was delicious, though I only wish it lasted since it quickly lost subtlety with the melting ice. Would love to come back and maybe try some of the pastries and other fare.

    Always lovely service, plus the best drinks. I moved away from this area and only go back for their delicious espresso - the Stove Top (pictured) and Americanos are my favourite.

    I loved this place! The coffee was superb and the pastries was equally amazing. Its cozy, quiet and comforting, which are my 3 favorite attributes! I highly recommend this place!

    Hands down one of the best coffee shops in downtown core. It's small and hard to find, but this serene location offers a great selection of coffee. The beans they use are rich and delicious.

    Great coffee shop. It's not very busy after working hours. I'd recommend the stove top which is made with maple syrup, it's delicious! The large size is huge and worth the extra quarter if you plan on sharing a coffee with your partner :)

    Rialto Espresso Bar is my absolute favourite coffee shop in downtown Toronto! The shop has a very welcoming and positive atmosphere with super friendly staff. The quality of the coffee is exceptional as it is locally roasted! My go to was a regular latte and a chocolate almond biscotti, they also have many other yummy baked goods. Highly recommend this spot to anyone with an appreciation for quality coffee and service!

👍👍 Visited here a few years ago. And recently back to have breakfast again! It is a lovely space filled with nostalgia of old-school deli and restaurants. They have a large indoor dining room, and outdoor patio. Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, they are situated on the very busy University Ave...
