Rooster Coffee House

Rooster Coffee House opened in 2009 on Broadview Avenue with a simple intent — to create a space that felt like home to everyone who walked through the door — and has spent the years since living up to it. They partner with Pilot Coffee for their house blends and source fresh pastries daily from eight specialty bakers, with the Nanaimo bars and almond croissants among the most consistently popular items. The Broadview location overlooks Riverdale Park and the city skyline, and the communal crossword at the pick-up counter is a small tradition that has quietly outlasted a lot of trends.
