Nostalgia Coffee

What is Nostalgia Coffee? Located at 855 O'Connor Drive in East York near St. Clair Avenue East, Nostalgia Coffee Company is a warm, community-rooted indie cafe that blends espresso craftsmanship with South American beverage traditions. The cozy room features vintage coffee grinders, local art exhibits, comfortable mismatched vintage armchairs, and sunny window counters. It serves as a relaxed meeting place for East York residents, neighbourhood remote workers, and students seeking warm hospitality and hearty scratch cooking.

Nostalgia Coffee Menu & What to Order The cafe stands out across Toronto for serving traditional Argentinian Yerba Mate, served in authentic cured calabash gourds with silver bombilla straws and thermoses of hot water for continuous steeping. The kitchen prepares fresh French-style crepes spun thin on traditional round cast-iron griddles: order the Prosciutto and Fresh Mozzarella Crepe with baby spinach and balsamic glaze for lunch, or indulge in the warm Nutella and Sliced Strawberry Crepe for a sweet afternoon treat. Espresso drinks are expertly pulled from dark roast beans, pairing nicely with house-baked vegan oatmeal cookies and hot pressed paninis.
