Saving Mondays

What is Saving Mondays? Operating out of an airy, high-ceilinged converted industrial space at 1655 Dupont Street (Unit 100) in the Junction Triangle, Saving Mondays is an artisanal bakery and specialty cafe launched by the team behind Toronto's renowned Hale Coffee Co. Named with tongue-in-cheek optimism to brighten the start of the workweek, the cafe provides a stylish neighborhood sanctuary where exposed brick, natural light, and house-roasted coffees converge.

Saving Mondays Menu & What to Order The pastry kitchen bakes continuously throughout the morning, filling the room with tempting aromas of butter and caramelized sugar. The Sea Salt Chocolate Chunk Cookie is an absolute customer favorite, delivering a crisp golden edge, a chewy center, and a scattering of flaked Maldon sea salt. Breakfast seekers pair their morning cortado or flat white with buttery, layered plain croissants or twice-baked almond croissants filled with rich frangipane cream. For lunch, order a hot pressed focaccia sandwich filled with smoked turkey, aged provolone, and pesto, or grab a gluten-free banana chocolate muffin alongside an iced ceremonial matcha latte.

Know Before You Go Saving Mondays opens early on weekdays at 7:30 a.m. for morning commuters and at 8:00 a.m. on weekends. Seating is spacious with long communal tables, making it welcoming for laptop workers and casual neighborhood meetups. Dundas West subway station and the Bloor GO/UP Express hub are within a ten-minute walk, while the 26 Dupont bus stops right outside the door.
