Ivy Coffee Shop

What is Ivy Coffee Shop? Situated at 19 Duncan Street just steps from King West and the TIFF Bell Lightbox, Ivy Coffee Shop is owner Michael Dietl’s sleek Entertainment District outpost. Designed with a clean, European-inspired minimalism, the expansive space combines streamlined counters and lobby-style communal lounge seating tailored for quick morning pit stops, mid-day remote work, or quiet breaks from the theatre crowd.

Ivy Coffee Shop Menu & What to Order While standard espresso drinks are expertly pulled, the cafe’s inventive cold foam program steals the spotlight—specifically the vibrant Strawberry Matcha Cold Foam and the earthy Ube Plant-Based Espresso Foam. Food is far more ambitious than standard cafe fare, highlighted by house-made weekend brunch dishes like pistachio crème anglaise-topped French toast and a rich shrimp roll served with Alderwood-smoked fries. Pastry cases are stocked with butter-layered French almond croissants and rotating baked goods from local favourite Circles & Squares, complemented by plenty of plant-based milks and vegan-friendly drink options.

Know Before You Go Seating operates strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, and peak weekend brunch hours (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) often draw a lineup. If you are dashing between office meetings or catching a film nearby, use their dedicated mobile app to order ahead and skip the counter queue. St. Andrew subway station and the 504 King streetcar are just a short two-minute walk away.
