    Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff but Wi-Fi is spotty, be prepared to use your data if you're here for a bit Edit: I have lived in the area for 6 years and though i usually don't stay, I often catch a coffee to go with friends. Due to COVID restrictions wearing down on me and need for a change of scenery, decide to change things up and sit in the shop and work from there. Wi-fi didn't work, and I informed the staff and they told me it hadn't been working properly for a few days. No problem, let's reset it, I suggest. Which they did, but then it would cut out ever couple of minutes. Wasn't the worst thing in the world but wasn't the best impression. I left the review hoping the owner would see it, and fix it for future patrons, including myself. Instead I get clapped back with a sarcastic, insincere, passive aggressive response. What could have been possibly be one off bad experience, solved with empathy has definitely become a lasting image.

    Good atmosphere, only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that they were heavily pushing cows milk by giving away free lattes. Their coffee is a bit bitter and was so incredibly hot I feel like they burned it a bit. Only comes in one size as well and for $2.80 it's a bit steep for what's a small coffee. Breakfast sandwich was super good

    Beautiful space! Free wifi and conveniently located! Delicious coffee. The prices are on the higher end. The matcha latte I ordered was $6.05 with tax. It’s a small size. The drink it’s self, nothing special, powder and milk. I wouldn’t order it again, I’d stick to the coffee here, it is delicious.

    Beans roasted by Hale (Colombia Decaf) are our go to beans. While they are tasty we just found a rock in our bag of whole beans. And this is the second time it happened! First time I chalked it up to fluke. Second time I'd call it a quality control issue: those whole bean bags need to be checked more carefully! I really don't want our grinder destroyed by an errant rock...

    I’m in love with the industrial decor and overall coziness of this cafe. I had a London fog latte and a breakfast bagel and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. They bake their own bagels and when you enter you can smell it. It is divine 🤤

    Spacious and roomy space with nice decor. Great vibe for working for a couple hours but I found Coffee is just a little short of what I like. Cortado milk was a bit runny, under desired temperature, plus music is a bit loud and distracting. Big plus is that they're a Roaster and also make fresh bakery items daily.

    This location is a very good size with plenty of seating (comfy chairs too!) The chai latte was not the best, Starbucks does better there, and the wifi is spotty so make sure you can connect to hotspot! Giving this place a 4 star rating because the hanging ghost decor for Halloween was so cute and staff were too friendly not to!

    Bryton made me possibly the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino with oat milk; it was smooth, flavourful, and addictive. I actually went back for seconds!

    Agree with a few reviews below that their coffee is just mediocre. Not sure what beans were used this past weekend but barely had any coffee taste. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but tables need to be cleaned/wiped more often.

    I wish a could give a 0. Somehow it took few second to make my coffee. Which turned out to be barely warm milk. I paid 5.42 for a small cup of barely warm milk. With extra $ for a syrup. Got none of that, just milk. Ps I did not pickup wrong order, I asked if it was my drink with the drink name.

    Coffee - good, but one size only, doesn’t really work if you want a triple shot Food - amazing, but they only prepare one sandwich at a time. If you order two the same they will make one & then the other. If anyone else ahead of you has ordered sandwiches it will take a lonnnnng time. I imagine this is because of a tiny prep space for food Atmosphere - the baristas in the afternoon are great when they work solo. In the AM there always seems to be confusion, orders get missed, I’ve had about 5 of those “coffee on us” cards when a mistake was made All of this is meant to be constructive, if there were a few changes made this place could be amazing, as it is now it’s definitely losing business to the other 6 cafe options nearby. Opening pretty late at 8:30 doesn’t help either :/

    This is a great place to hang out or work; I stopped in to kill some time before a tattoo appointment in the same building. They have indoor and outdoor seating and friendly staff. I got an iced latte and breakfast sandwich on sourdough. The coffee had a nice espresso flavor and the sandwich was delicious. I really liked the sriracha aioli and arugula paired with the egg. I ordered mine without tomato, but it usually comes with that as well.

    Okay. Hear me out. I’ve been upset with Hale because I have also been a victim of getting my order wrong after being a regular at Hale… time and time again. But! I decided to give them another chance! AND! THEY HAVE CLEARLY READ THE REVIEWS AND HAVE IMPROVED. The music is at a great (calm)volume, my coffee was correct, - which is the bare minimum. What made my day was that my breakfast order had a heart next to my name which brought a tear to my eye. The staff was very friendly and there are 3 heroes behind the counter who have been here throughout the pandemic. Sabrina, Bri and the woman with rainbow hair. Thank you for showing up everyday. Thank you Hale for listening to your patrons and I hope you keep this up. ❤️

    2023.06.25 The morning coffee at Hale Coffee. I reviewed the place 2 years back and gave it a 3*. I think they came a long way. The place is much better organized. Good Hot Americano. It was very busy. Well done.

    Relaxing atmosphere...with large airy space. The grilled cheese sandwich is tasty and the homemade ketchup is fantastic. They are serving chai tea using my favourite local brand. I had a herbal tea. Lovely after 5 minutes of steeping. Worth a visit although parking spots are hard to find. Biking, walking is the best. Also, nice him of activity.

    The year is 2025. You walk into your local Hale coffee shop. A latte costs $12. You have the choice of tipping 75%, 95%, or 125%. You sheepishly tap “75%” and feel bad about yourself. The barista shakes her head in disgust. Love the overall atmosphere but why do the staff seem so bothered by the presence of patrons?! Is that supposed to be part of the vibe?

    A rare, but deserving 5/5 review. What I loved about this place is it's big and well laid out, and ON TOP of that the interior decor is on point. This spot showed me how much plantlife can make a difference in a coffee shop. Well done Hale!

    Nice atmosphere and a great place to catch-up. When compared to other coffee shops/bakeries in the neighbourhood, it’s expensive. That said, it shouldn’t be a surprise when you step in and look around. Good luck to the owners, they’re trying something different.

    Lovely cafe with a great ambiance. It's more spacious than it seems from the outdoors. It has a range of seating types, from comfy low chairs to bar stools to regular tables and chairs. I had a wonderful hot chocolate that was the perfect amount of sweetness. The best, however, was a BLT on sourdough bread that was fresh and delicious. I think a garlic mayo was what gave it that special something. I think it was the best BLT I've ever had. Also nice that it's a kid and stroller-friendly space.

  • 5/5 Aneeka Black (. 1 year ago on Google
    Discovered this place while looking for a cozy cafe for studying and I must say this place was amazing! I got the most wonderful latte and was able to get work done while listening to some good music but not being distracted. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Carlos O. 2 years ago on Google
    A really nice place with a amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff. The taste and aroma of the coffee were very good. A good place to hang out with friends and at the same time enjoy an excellent cup of coffee. The 100% recommended salmon begel

  • 5/5 Heather 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. their beans are amazing! I’ve tried 2 of the blends before and just bought 2 new ones today. the barista recommended me the panama - it smells and tasted amazing. hale is the best coffee I’ve had at home. I get them to grind it for a french press and its perfect. the baristas are always friendly too!!

  • 5/5 Jeanette A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite coffee spots in Toronto. Best cortados! Love their espresso blend and being able to take beans to make my coffee at home. Although it’s always best when they prepare it for you 😉

  • 1/5 Leah K. 5 months ago on Google
    Hale is one of my go-to coffee places. I loved the people and vibe there but a few times I had same unpleasant experiences. Today the staff was looking at his phone when I was ordering coffee and of course they missed my order. I even waited until they finished chatting and the next four people picked up their order but still no one was taking my order. I was standing and waiting at the pickup place. Two staff looked and ignored me. And again, both were looking at their phone. I finally asked for my order but the barista didn’t say anything sorry. She asked what was my order and made it. I am not a picky person but it taste like just warm milk. The same thing keeps happening so I don’t think I ever want to put my money and tips into this experience again.

  • 5/5 Claire R. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely and large space. The baristas are always friendly, their baked goods are amazing (although very sweet), and the drinks are top notch. Shout out to my classic egg bagel order.

  • 5/5 Christopher A. 2 years ago on Google
    Been to other coffee places in the Junction but this spot has a nice selection of coffee, friendly staff (they always comment on my reusable mug!), and the fresh pastries are irresistible.

  • 5/5 Fabio H B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Food is amazing. Turkey sandwich is unreal! Coffee is really good and staff is awesome

  • 2/5 Cloud W. 1 year ago on Google
    I would not be back. Ubered here in cold day to do some work. It was packed and so I just thought to get a drink takeout. The waffle delight sample table guy was friendly and cashier was nice but the barista working is very rude and condescending. I ordered the ice waffle latte and it came with a large waffle INSIDE making the lid and drink overflow. Spilling all over my hands and making it sticky. I asked barista to remove it or give me another cup and she look at me like I’m stupid. The busy cashier had to step in to do her job. When the design of the drink is problem. The waffle also took up the amount of coffee I would have received and they didn’t even think to top it up a bit after removing the then soggy waffle. These are coffee BARISTAs why do they feel so entitled. Seriously please let them know their place. I lost not $7 but $20 over a drink 1/5 full.

    Good break spot inside square one mall, good quality coffee drinks and good overall ambiance. Was expecting to see cardamom blended with coffee drinks as an option or at least Turkish coffee with cardamom, but it seems their name has no link to the drinks in their menu. Hale which is written in Arabic in this painting means cardamom which is a main ingredient in some Turkish coffee options in the Middle East. Introducing Turkish coffee with cardamom option will add a lot to the identity of this place. Will return back definitely!

  • 5/5 Andrea A. 2 years ago on Google
    Was at this coffee place with a large group. Coffee was quick to arrive and delicious (machiatto). The Egg Bagel was amazing; the bagel was so soft and just perfectly lightly toasted. Staff was kind and never frazzled despite taking orders at table for 22 people and the presence of a roaming photographer.

  • 4/5 Tawseef K. 1 year ago on Google
    Stylish coffee place where you can sit down and get some work done. They’ve got a good variety of coffee and quality is good. You may not always find seating since most people here have their laptops open and working.

  • 5/5 Tharsina T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute Cafe. The breakfast bagel was delicious. The place is soo cozy, perfect to go when you have some work to get done. Definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area. Their coffee beans are fresh.

    Nothing is better to have a cup of hot coffee in a snowy day I like Ethiopia coffee here with smooth aroma And butter Croissant,spinach feta Croissant tasting so good Staffs are very friendly

  • 5/5 Luke W. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. Thank you @Hale for getting me through all these lockdowns ! Edit: I’m now completely hooked on their beans which are roasted in-house. Honestly so good

  • 5/5 Manal E. 2 years ago on Google
    Best cappuccino in Mississauga. Nice staff, cozy place and, indeed, very good coffee.

  • 3/5 Vlad K. 2 years ago on Google
    They have their own equipment to roast coffee, so they can control the process better. As a result, really good tasting espresso beverages! Also +1 star for delicious bagels! I have to say that the place is attractive and prices are reasonable! I was a loyal customer visiting this place every Sunday for quite some time. But this time my experience was not what I expected. I entered at 11.55 to get that Breakfast Egg Bagel before noon and there were 2 people in queue. Unfortunately for me, staff was slow and when I approached the counter at 12.01, I was told that kitchen has been closed to prepare this bagel, though other sandwiches were available. Really?! This is not a service I expected from my favorite place. Well, one place loses customer but another one gaines.

  • 5/5 Greg T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, great setting and very friendly staff! Would highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Leah S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is so bright and spacious, definitely a great place to meet up or to study. Their coffee is great and very consistent, not to mention their breakfast sandwich is amazing! I would give a 5/5 if not for the fact that their Chai latte and seasonal (fall) drinks were flavourless. Otherwise an amazing sit-in café.

  • 5/5 Stephanie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Always a friendly and inviting atmosphere The staff coffee and baked goods are delightfully yummy. Def would recommended to anyone!

👍👍 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...
