Jun 29 2020, 5:48 pm

The ultimate places to pair caffeine with Vitamin D are Toronto’s cafe patios, where cold brew in the sunshine and lattes in the shade are the orders of the day.

Pairing some coffee with those golden rays makes working remotely almost palatable, wouldn’t you say?

Whether you’re enjoying your java in silence, catching up with friends, or tapping away at your laptop with the unusual luxury of outdoor wifi, these are the best cafes with patios in across the city:

The location in the Financial District is a stylishly designed and history-rich cafe offering the perfect chance to soak up some sunshine before returning to the office. The spacious patio offers prime people-watching opportunities (if you can get a spot) and is one of few coffee shop patios in the area.

Located in The Junction, this eclectic and colourfully designed cafe is a reliable source for coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches. But the major draw is the breezy, 30-seat back patio that’s full of communal tables and oversized umbrellas. Just… y’know… keep your distance.
