Ub Social Cafe

What is Ub Social Cafe? Ub Social Cafe (UB Social Café & General Store) is an artisanal neighborhood coffee bar and gourmet pantry situated on Dundas Street West in Toronto's Junction neighborhood. Founded in 2017 by Anthony Buso and Mary Fabiano—with 'UB' playfully referencing the 'Unemployable Baker'—the warm brick-lined shop pairs European espresso tradition with scratch-made comfort baking and curated local pantry goods.

Ub Social Cafe Menu & What to Order The coffee program highlights authentic Italian espresso pulled rich and short, perfect in a velvety flat white or classic cappuccino. The savory display features flaky handcrafted beef and vegetable empanadas, warm focaccia panini stuffed with prosciutto di Parma and fresh arugula, and seasonal vegetable soups. Treat yourself to their famous house-made butter tarts with flaky pastry crusts, Italian almond biscotti, or seasonal panettone.
