This is the place to go for a matcha latte – Neo Coffee Bar is known for it. You can also have delicious Japanese pastries like roll cakes. As for the coffee, there’s a different international single origin roast featured every month, so there’s always a new taste to discover. Enjoy espresso-based drinks, plus drip and pour-over coffee. There’s lots of seats here, too, so feel free to stay awhile.
Neo Coffee Bar was the apple of Toronto’s eye in 2015 (at least on Instragram). Slinging latte art at its finest (from swan, to bear, to heart designs), this café had patrons whipping out their iPhones and snapping quintessential #instacoffee shots. They’re praised for their Kyoto matcha latte and Japan pastries like cake rolls and choux crème, made with organic ingredients. Every month, Neo offers a new single origin roast from locals around the world like Coffee Libre from South Korea and Parlor Coffee from Brooklyn. Also on offer are sandwiches made with baguettes from Blackbird Baking bakery in Kensington.
