Acacia Cafe

What is Acacia Cafe? Tucked inside Wycliffe College along Hoskin Avenue, Acacia Cafe—the quiet evolution of the storied Innis Cafe—delivers scratch-made comfort to the University of Toronto campus. Diners order at a streamlined service counter before settling into the collegiate Refectory, an atmospheric hall flanked by long wooden tables, hanging chandeliers, and vintage stained glass. It functions as an unpretentious campus anchor for students, faculty, and Annex residents craving genuine home-style cooking at honest prices.

Acacia Cafe Menu & What to Order The kitchen operates across borders, folding Turkish, Mediterranean, and Latin touches into a wholesome, health-forward daytime repertoire. The foil-wrapped chicken burrito is legendary for its sheer heft and vibrant balance of seasoned poultry, black beans, and house salsa, while the flaky spanakopita and made-to-order omelette sandwiches carry the breakfast trade. For a grounded lunch plate, opt for the jerk chicken paired with roasted vegetables, salad, and rice, washed down with a fresh fruit smoothie or a sharp espresso macchiato.

Know Before You Go Operation is walk-in only with no reservations taken, so expect brisk lines during peak campus class changes between 11:45 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Seating in the Refectory is expansive enough to handle solo diners with laptops or collaborative study groups, but take note that hours are strictly daytime on weekdays, with doors closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
