R Squared Cafe

Such GOOD coffee! Also had a chocolate chip cookie that was delicious for a total of 7 $. Very great place to hang out, study, read or catch up with friends.

Good atmosphere, the fastest free WiFi i found so far, the tea was pretty good as well, and the staff is typical canadian friendly :)

This place lured me in with it’s gallery like layout, wall art, and gorgeous baristas. At first i felt clustered and then I saw an array of chairs, tables, stools in the back of the room; then my eyes struck a small donation box on the counter unexpectedly waiting for my response, which shook me up a bit.
All of the sudden I found myself, quietly, thanking the man above for the greatest town, city in the world which I live in. That morning all I wanted to do was order my M2 drink which consists of the best ingredients and the perfect kick of espresso infused with Coconut Water on this side of town and return back to my ear plugs which were blasting Adele’s «hello,».but I couldn’t help but to do a second take at that small donation box where there were six words imprinted in the most simplistic way, demanding my uttermost attention and accelerating my respect level for this humble coffee shop tenfold.
Those words were: WE ACCEPT DONATIONS FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES.

Cozy place with nice décor that is perfectly fit for a cup of coffee in the afternoon.
My original intend was another destination near by but I guess my fate has me to park my car just right outside of this Café this afternoon. When I get off my car, as a coffee lover, just couldn’t resist to go in and get a cup coffee when I am just right outside the door.
I ordered a Mocha and this cup of baby is very good! Rich with flavour with strong aroma as well! A very lovely cup of drink. I am glad I walk into this shop, which turn my good mood to an awesome mood for this afternoon after this drink!

Great little café in the fashion district. The interior was bright and cozy. There were plenty of seats and tables for customers to use. I ordered a Spanish latte and it is like a regular latte with a bit of cajun. The addition of the cajun spice gave the latte a very distinguished flavour that makes me want to go back for another cup!

Love the relaxing ambiance and the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! They also have free wifi and lots of outlets so that you can get work done! I also really like the simplistic interior decoration — the white washed walls and the geometric lamps gives off a very chic vibe, almost as if you were at a boutique rather than at a café.

R Squared Café is an unassuming, quaint, modern picturesque café on Queen st. A selection of slightly overpriced baked goods and sandwiches are available for a quick bite. Limited but decent drink menu selection. Friendly staff.
R Squared Café’s Matcha latte was velvety smooth! While the matcha flavor is not as pronounced as I would have normally liked, it is still a better green tea latte than Starbucks.
Spacious and clean, R Squared Café is a great place to socialize, study, or create plans for the years to come.

I had a cappuccino n it tasted real good. Staff r friendly too. You will all kinds of people here, some study, some work, some r taking a break from shopping and some just there passing time. No drip coffee post noon. Overall a nice place to hav coffee n get some work done along.

Great great coffee. Balzac’s and this place are definitely my two favs.

Fantastic matcha green tea lattes. They even had dairy and gluten free options. The avocado and chocolate muffins are so yummy!

Read about this place on Unilocal and decided to try it the one time I happened to be in the area. I like the look of this place, it’s simple and cozy, and I could easily spend the day here just hanging out and chilling with their free wifi. It’s a bit pricey — drinks are probably comparable to Starbucks’ prices. I ordered the orange mocha and thought it was pretty good, but then again I don’t know much about coffee. I did enjoy my drink though, and the latte art was nice. I also got a gluten-​free cookie of some sort, which I guess must have been pricey, because my total bill ended up being around $ 8… but the cookie was really really delicious. I do wish the cashier was more informed about the ingredients in the cookie though — I don’t have any dietary restrictions, but I’m sure the contents would have mattered to some people. Their drink menu is pretty simple, which some people like, but I wouldn’t complain if they had a few more options.

A great place for a coffee and a small bite — they do artisan-​style mini sandwiches and the cookies looked good too. The space works very well, it’s an elongated room and there are a variety of spots to sit depending on whether you want to work, socialise, read, people watch, dog watch, it’s a decent place to hang out. Wifi in the house too. Big plus.

Found this unassuming café while roaming around on Queen st. The menu is limited in a GOOD way — not too many café drinks cluttering up the menu, they had two interesting specials we ordered. I went with the spanish latte containing condensed milk, espresso, and a dash of cayenne pepper. The spice was suble and the texture velvety smooth. Topped with a wonderful latte art flower. My gf ordered the other special café drink which was an herbal tea latte of sorts with a wonderful aroma. Each drink was beautifully crafted.
With free wifi and limited seating, I could see myself hanging out here reading/​studying all day.

I found R Squared on BlogTO and I wasn’t disappointed at all coming here. I don’t remember the name of my drink, it’s orange mixed with something. (it may sound nasty but hey, I tried it, I loved it!). It was something new for me. My friend ordered an espresso and said it’s a bit bitter. But for me as a coffee lover, and after tasting it, the espresso here is pretty good. I mean, it’s bitter but it doesn’t have the «burn» taste at all. The server was nice and friendly. She helped my friend pick a pastry (a muffin, danish, I don’t remember) since he was hungry and wanted something that goes well with his espresso. According to his comment, the pastry made the espresso less bitter and helped him to finish his drink.
We were there catching up about our hectic lives. Very funky but creative decorations and layouts, but fit perfectly in the Queen West neighbourhood. People there were busy catching up with work and I felt like a professional with an open macbook. I guess it was because of the atmosphere and people around made me feel that way.
It’s a bit far from the subway. I know we could have taken the street car, but it was worth the walk in a warm, sunny day.:)
The price is fair for the quality, the art of the latte, and the atmosphere. I will definitely come back.

They stop serving drip coffee after a certain time, but their alternative is an Americano. Sigh. Cute interiors. Customers are typical Queen West people in Chelsea boots and draped in those blankets from Aritzia that pass off as scarves or ponchos or whatever. Lots of MacBooks Air users and people talking about being «development» in their careers. Coffee is aight.

I do not understand the hype about this place. I had higher expectations with the reviews. I was walking along queen street and saw this place, and it also answered my question about where all these people with coffee cups were coming from.
The service was a little on the slow side. I came in the early afternoon, and was disappointed to find that they no longer serve drip coffee. Really? It’s Toronto! So I had to pay $ 3.00 for an Americano, which was nothing special at all. Furthermore, I put a bit of cream, which made it colder than I like. I like my coffee to still be hot once I have added my cream. I asked if they could potentially remake it and steam the cream, or if they could add water (but I told them this would dilute it). They told me the had no control over the temperature of the water (of course, I get that), but all they did was add a bit of water to the Americano which didn’t really make it hotter. They should have at least followed up and asked if it was to my liking after. I wasn’t impressed with the service. The acoustics in this place are awful. The music was actually nice, but could hardly be heard over the talking (not much, but sounded loud).
If the place had better service, coffee, and atmosphere (I guess that’s almost everything, ha), it would be nice. I really wasn’t feeling it.

Very funky layout in this café, a little hipster in appearance but fits the neighbourhood perfectly. Great specialty coffee, regular brew. Service is open and friendly. Only downfall is no drip coffee past twelve. It’s a small café so sitting can be limited at times. Pricing Is fair for the quality you get. Will return.

Good– nice cashier
Bad– Too busy/​not enough seating
Terrible wifi (really slow, keeps disconnecting)
Coffee is average (americano)

in hindsight, i admit:
i could have ordered better.
so much latte art!
but, two espressos
and nothing to write home of
alas, had i Unilocaled!
no open tables
in the bright sunny front
so, stuck in the back
just overall meh
when great coffeeshops abound
a bit disappoint

Great place to catchup on work.
Latte was very good; coffee was bold enough to overpower the milk.
Great Latte Art.
Music is a bit too loud. Was trying to listen to my own but the cafes music was overpowering my own.
Otherwise…enjoyed!
