Old Toronto

Dineen Coffee Co.

Dineen Coffee Co. occupies the ground floor of the 1897 Dineen Building — a registered heritage property on Yonge Street, once home to a hat and fur company, now fitted with custom marble countertops, red leather banquettes, and a chandelier salvaged from the Royal York Hotel. Their house Temperance Espresso Blend, developed with Social Coffee Roasters from Mexican and Brazilian beans, has a smooth, buttery character that suits the surroundings. Multiple downtown locations make Dineen a reliable constant in the Financial District, though the Yonge Street flagship is the one worth going out of your way for.
