    Absolutely gorgeous cheese and snack tray! Cool array of cheeses and heaps of hot bread made it perfect. Got a really tasty cocktail, and the abiance was perfectly cozy! Seating downstairs means a bit more space than youd expect!

    Had a fantastic time at Henrietta lane! Great selection of beers and cocktails with lists of good options for teetotalers. Great friendly service and food so good my partner said she wanted to do a dance. (Not pictures it the bowl of candy you can get to snack on too!)

    This cozy little bar is a wonderful spot for some late night snacks and high quality cocktails. The staff is kind and attentive and the drinks are high quality. I can personally recommend the midnight cowboy and amoxicillin.

    Had such a wonderful late evening drink here! The owner is super polite, knowledgeable and fun to chat with! I had a Mezcal old fashioned and it was crafted really well. It complimented the Charcuterie board! Can't wait to be back for patio season!!

    Lovely little cocktail bar with excellent cocktails. The owner mixed up some of his own creations for us that were fantastic. I highly recommend trying ‘the fog’.

    We've been coming to Henrietta Lane on a regular basis for a few months now, and we absolutely love it! The drinks options are diverse and delicious, made with incredible craft and attention to detail. The space is inviting and cozy, perfect for relaxing after a busy week! Finally, the servers are incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and easy to engage with. Henrietta Lane seems to attract a very loyal and sociable local clientele - a testament to the fact that it is everything you hope for in an elevated local spot.

    Loved the ambiance, chill vibes and the cocktails here! Our bartender was amazing and constantly checking in on us. Haven’t had an amazing amaretto sour for quite some time and it hit the spot for me - I ordered it two more times!

    Cafe and cocktail bar. Fantastic service, attentive and friendly. Great selection of beers, ciders, cocktails, and mocktails. Some delicious pastries available. Very cozy place with a terrific atmosphere, and background music. The decor really adds to the experience, well laid out, eye pleasing and inviting. A good number of bar seats, some front window seating, a side bench near the back, and a table at the back for a group of people. There was also some seating in the lower floor, though not sure if it was in use. Really enjoyed my experience here, definitely recommend. #cafe #bar #drinkery #pastries

    The cocktails here are incredible. I’ve been coming off and on for years and have always been blown away by the exceptional balance and depth of layered flavours. Before covid, I had a drink here called Don’t Worry Be Happy and I never forgot it. Once of the most beautiful cocktails I’ve ever had. Don’t sleep on this unassuming place! Drinks pictured are Jingle Juice and Chin Chin Mon Chérie

    Very small selection of beers on tap, mostly local. There’s a downstairs area that people seem to really enjoy. Pretty typical bar for me with subpar decor and polite staff. I haven’t tried the food so can’t comment there!

    Delightful little bar staffed by a genuinely friendly crew who serve great cocktails, a selection of draft beers (and cans) as well as tasty snacks. Try the sandwiches! They make their own mustard! A fun place to meet up in a group or somewhere you come by yourself and just talk with people at the bar.

  • 5/5 Shelly 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. The drinks are great and they always have interesting snacks and drinks to buy and take home. Their non-alcoholic cocktails are also really good. The staff are very friendly.

  • 1/5 Диана �. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered 1 litre of sangria, like actual sangria. Instead we got approximately 400-450 ml of sangria and like a ton of ice. We had strong desire to speak to the owner or administrator but the guy was too busy to go and speak to us about that issue. Don’t think I will return to the place, even on Sunday night.

    Great cocktails and amazing service! Everyone’s so nice and friendly. Felt at home.

  • 5/5 Yuri G. 2 years ago on Google
    For my first time here, it was a very pleasant and memorable experience. After arriving with a friend, sitting outside at the street tables, the place staged warm and was comfortable for the long duration. The service was attentive and great for recommendations. After a chat about their business, we felt welcome and like we found a gem in the neighbourhood. Will return on my next visit!

    What a magical place! They have something called the Ploughmen's platter which is meat, cheese pickles, preserves and is so delightful. They also have some of the best cocktails in the city. I'd say tied for first with Gigglewater. There are so many great creative twists on classics and then completely new cocktails as well. The owner and brain behind the cocktails is a wealth of knowledge. My girlfriend and I were there the other night and got to try a lot of delicious cocktails, get advice from him for making cocktails at home and he made modified cocktails for us with spirits we were really curious to try. I can't recommend this place. It's small so get there easy to get a spot. It is a gem not be missed

  • 5/5 Spencer C. 10 months ago on Google
    Owner cooks up some amazing cocktails, a great ever evolving beer selection, and a wonderful intimate and comfortable setting. It’s truly a rare find in Toronto and very worth a regular visit

  • 5/5 Andrew K. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing causal lunch coffee vibes. Food is sandwich based. A great café/sandwich place like this that's licensed is always amazing!

    Went for late night drinks after. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Drinks where delicious and the bartender had great reccomendations.

    Favourite neighborhood spot. Best cocktails with a seasonal menu, and their snacks are homemade and delicious. Owners are lovely, lively and interesting people. Couldn't ask for more, feels like home.

  • 5/5 Stephen L. 1 year ago on Google
    Josh is a consummate host and makes a mean cocktail. Showed up last minute with the entire Spanish Trade Commission and his staff accommodated us. We all had a great time! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Greg M. 2 years ago on Google
    Hip little cafe and “drinkery” with a street front patio to while away a bi of time right on King St. shaded seating on a quiet stretch of King St with views of the Globe and Mail building to the west and the River St condos to the east. Soothing sounds of cocktails being shaken up and an extensive snack and meal menu complete the perfect afternoon or evening - also a “commissary “ style variety goods store for high end foodstuffs and prepared goodies. A deep and local drinks list ( ciders, beers, spritzes) means there’s something for everyone to imbibe . Support local drink local

👍👍 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...
