Rick’s Cafe - Toronto, Ontario

Nice spot for quality coffee and delicious treats such as brownies sweetened with dates. We didn't have time to check out the book collection at the front, but it looked like there would be some really interesting choices. Some quirky details in the decoration. Not a lot of tables.

I just dropped in for a phew minutes. I had the perfect time to admire the poetry collection they had, have a peek on some paragraphs, and there were good independent themes. Also, the vegan treats at the cashier (as a vegan) meant the world to me. The owner is ... so friendly and greets everyone, it's a lovely place to have coffee on the phew tables and chairs.

I love this coffee shop! They offer great drinks and quick bites, a very cozy environment, and books, which are all you would need to chill and relax! Their smoothies are amazing, made freshly in front of you with all fresh and natural ingredients! The owners are also very nice ... and friendly! This place is definitely recommended! Read more

Not just a great café with solid espresso, delicious smoothies and healthy treats, but also a hidden gem of Canadian poetry and literature. Definitely a great alternative to the usual Toronto café ambience.

Intimate, cozy place with a very cool vibe. Great tea, wonderful friendly service and great music. Loved the poetry book store as part of experience. Looking forward to going back again next time I am in Kensington market!
