Monopol Cafe

What is Monopol Cafe? Monopol Cafe is a beloved independent spot on Pape Avenue, anchoring the Playter Estates-Danforth strip with its inviting presence. Opened by three brothers with a vision to create an approachable family-run coffee shop, it offers a relaxing atmosphere where modern interiors meet comfortable seating, featuring both larger tables and cozy couches.

Monopol Cafe Menu & What to Order The menu at Monopol Cafe shines with its extensive selection of fresh, house-made crepes and a full range of espresso beverages, often with a Greek twist. Don't miss the famous Freddo Cappuccino, a cold, frothy delight. For sweet options, the indulgent Monopol Crepe with banana and Nutella or the locally inspired 6ix Crepe featuring brownies, strawberries, chocolate hazelnut, and mozzarella cheese are must-tries. Savoury palates will appreciate the hearty Savoury "Breakfast" Crepe or the Spicy Me Up with chicken and a kick. They also offer vegan options among their waffles and pies.

Located directly outside Pape subway station, it’s easily accessible by transit, with street parking available in the surrounding Greektown area.
