Filosophy Pastry and Espresso Bar

Love this place for great Teas and Coffees as long with the great sweets and Greek Filo pastries.

Beautiful place with a relaxing ambience, a huge amount of pastries and coffee options. I always like to try a cappuccino with a chocolate croissant in my first visit to a cafe and wasn’t disappointed, quite the opposite, amazing experience.

I absolutely love their coffee especially their pistachio latte, it’s amazing.
Great service, they have tables inside and outside if u wanna sit there however the place is really tiny.

Note: i tried the chocolate banana bread and it was gross so maybe try something else, they have variety of sweets and a lot of vegan options!

A cute little cafe serving a variety of coffees, teas, pastries, and light lunch options. Staff is friendly and helpful. Cute little patio for summer sitting and people watching on Bloor Street. The place is a tad small, making for tight quarters at times - but that makes the place cozy.

This is one of my favorite places. The food is always great, especially the Spanakopita and Espresso Tonic (which is not a common choice)! The servers are nice, helpful and friendly. Not to mention the music is also well chosen. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to relax and unwind.

I came in not feeling the best, just to treat myself for a milkshake and pastry.the lady who served me initially was nice and fast, the milkshake she made was uber tasty! However, while waiting for my pastry (im in no rush its my off day) her coworker comes out from the back and sees me, assumes im impatient about my pastry warm up time and tells me “it’ll be out in three minutes, chill out. ” abruptly.i understand i looked upset as im not in the best mood but the comment out of nowhere wasn’t pleasant nor necessary.id come back cuz everything was tasty but her attitude didnt sit right.shout out to the other friendly worker w/ glasses and a ponytail for being patient tho.

Get the filo bites. Take-home Spanakopita is excellent too. All the drinks are great, the staff is wonderful. I only wish the space was bigger

I didn't know I liked apple fritters until I had the Filosophy apple fritter. It's AMAZING! Honestly all the pastries are fantastic. Also, the staff are so nice and helpful.

A hidden jewel. A really good coffee, great pastry, and the best service. The perfect mix for success. Enjoy.

Very cute place. Loads of delicious desserts, I had the molten lava cake, and it was great. Coffee is delicious too. They make the most of the space to offer lots of seating but it can feel a little cramped. Nice outdoor seating too.

Highly recommend to try this cafe! Very good coffee, pastries are delicious and the variety of all sweets is so huge. They have seats inside and also on the patio. It reminds me European coffee culture atmosphere. It's definitely a nice place to go. The only minus is so many people and slower service, but it's a "tax" to be at a good place. And that’s why I had to add this cafe to my list ‘The Good Espresso Map’, check out my profile ;-)

I absolutely love this place, great deserts and treats, fantastic coffee, good for on the go or sit in. That said, they don’t seem to care if someone brings an animal in the establishment which I find repulsive and Unhygienic. Unless it’s a service dog there’s laws in place against bringing animals into spaces that serve or handle food. That was a slight turn off for me otherwise I’d give them a full 5 stars! Otherwise check them out!

Fave local coffee shop. Great coffee + pastries. I've enjoyed everything that I've had here. Plus really nice staff.

Amazing staff and customer service! The pastries and drinks were amazing and the cafe itself is gorgeous. Highly recommend.

Such a cute cafe! The iced chai latte and carrot lava cake were sooo good. The staff were super friendly as well:)

The fat guy with the moustache was the best! Super nice place, delicious carrot lava cake, and the best iced chai tea I've ever tried!

Just love love love this cozy cafe! Greatest selection of goodies for every palette. Will be back

One of the best places for coffee and baked goods in the city. Warm atmosphere and friendly staff top the experience.

Very nice little cafe on blood. The quality is great and even have beans your can buy. Try the savoury pastry’s

Mom and I popped in on Saturday and the two folks that were there were so kind (and patient) we picked up goodies and some of the best coffee we've had in a while! Will definitely be back! Super cute café -We loved how this place also serves up baked goods from some local bakeries. Great vegan and gf options, too. Something for everyone which is always awesome.

They carry a delicious vegan spinach pie which is almost always sold out. Definitely worth asking for if you're in the area! There's also vegan pastries from Tori's, and the selection changes daily.

I have not tried the coffee, but their matcha latte with soy is pretty good.

Best coffee and pastries in the neighborhood, hands down! All the flavors and gluten free options you could ask for. Super friendly staff, super tasty everything. Try some of their flavored lattes- the chocolate decadence oat latte will make you melt into a puddle of love.

A very cozy and warm place, great service and super tasty bakery! Could spend there all day trying stuff. Highly Recommended.

My new favourite cafe! Recommend their pistachio and vanilla latte! Something about their flavours make you LOVE it! Also their spanakopita is amazing!

A wonderful coffee and pastry shop with a Greek twist! I was so happy they offer freddo espresso, which is not easy to find outside of Greece! Their bougatsa (cream filled phyllo pastry) is very fresh and tasty, and I can't wait to try their assortment of baklavas, cookies, and cakes. The people who work there are also so friendly and make the overall experience of going to the café a great one.

The best out there. Clean & consistent, hospitable & friendly, fresh & delicious, and SAFE! All expected Covid protocols in place. Perfect spot for a quick grab on my way to work, or on my days off.

BEST cafe EVER! LOTS of options it’s gonna be hard to make up your mind because you will love to try it all. It’s so good that we wanted to share the vegan lemon tart with my husband but we ended up arguing on who was going to get the last bite! LOL HONESTLY BEST CAFE IN TORONTO and not only because they also have vegan and gluten free options BUT their Greek pastries are VERY clean and perfect in flavour balance

Amazing fresh pastries done right! Authentic Greek baked goods and a variety of other awesome stuff. The coffee is great too!

Pros: A large variety of pastries and coffees. Nice place for a pit stop.
Cons: Too noisy; not a great place to have a chat with friends.

It was a pleasure. Everything from the delicious spinach pie, the red velvet latte, the great customer service, the cleanliness, the coziness and super vibe. Thank you and see you again.

Just found this place out of the blue and really enjoyed it. Coffee was very well extracted and the milk was incorporated very well. Would definitely recommend this place for a visit!

Very cute spot. Good coffee and a large selection of pastry for your sweet tooth. Not big enough tables to work but very nice for casual conversations.

Cute little family owned place with a huge variety of baked goods and coffee beverages on offer. Amicable staff and pleasant vibes all around.

This is a very cute spot near my work and I often invite friends to meet up here after a shift. It's always been interesting to me to see some Middle Eastern pastries and flavours here as it is not something I often see in downtown cafes (not specific to a particular cuisine).

So far everything I've had has been quite yummy, from coffees and iced teas to parties and salads. I like the seating in the nook by the window but I have a couple of thoughts about the space itself (hence the four stars). My only sincere complaint is about space. The area where you line up to get coffee is quite cramped and inaccessible. When you order at the cash and are ready to leave, you often have to squeeze through the folks behind you and if you've made a bigger order or have any kind of bags on you, it can be tricky. I've also noticed they don't have much counter space for setting drinks on once they're ready.

Apart from this, it's quite cute space and will continue coming and inviting friends as well!

Definitely coming back. Warm, old-friends atmosphere. Food is delicious, coffee is on point, service is warm-hearted. The owner, Peter, is a genuine guy. Try the Leige Waffles - denser than regular waffles, warm and delicious, hard to find a place that serves them.

One of the best cafes in the city! A little slice of Europe in the heart of city. Huge, and l mean huge assortment of pastries. Great specialty coffees too.freddo cappuccino is a must.

Very nice atmosphere but I was very disappointed with the service and cappuccino. The barista was very cold and didn't seem to want to answer my questions. The capp had wayyyy too much foam and tasted burnt. The espresso tasted a bit off but that might have been because of the milk. I couldn't finish half of the drink.

I've walked by this place many times, always trying not to gush over the cute queer people who frequent the shop. Today I decided to give Filosophy a try, and it was love at first bite. The baking is fantastic, and hard to resist. The coffee is delectable and very well done. I'm absolutely going to make this my go to Café when I'm in the area, or a place to take a cutie on a date. The only thing not positive I could think of is how the coffee sizes are kind of small. Their medium size is a small in some places. But if that's no deterent to you, the quality absolutely makes up for a little less quantity.

Delicious espresso, some of the best on Bloor W. Lots of pastries and desserts laid out with many vegan options. Only thing they lack is seating. But go there and get a spot by the window!
