Edward Johnson Building Music Cafe

What is Edward Johnson Building Music Cafe? Operated by the Faculty of Music Undergraduate Association at 80 Queen's Park, the Edward Johnson Building Music Cafe serves as the daily lifeline for U of T music students and faculty. Stationed inside the building's lobby steps from Museum station, the setup is refreshingly no-frills, trading polished third-wave pretensions for swift counter service and casual communal seating where sheet music and instrument cases crowd the tables.

Edward Johnson Building Music Cafe Menu & What to Order The pocket-friendly menu keeps things simple, zeroing in on essential midday fuel. Expect steaming drip coffee, a reliable rotation of hot teas, and an assortment of fresh pastries and grab-and-go snacks designed for eating between rehearsals. While you will not find complex pour-overs here, a hot coffee paired with a fresh baked treat provides unbeatable value along the Queen's Park corridor.

Know Before You Go Service is strictly walk-in, with brief line spikes hitting right before morning lectures and during midday recital breaks. The cafe runs entirely on an academic schedule, opening Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and closing down for the weekend. The easiest way to get here is via the TTC to Museum station, which surfaces just across the street.
