This little coffee shop is so cute! I went because I was in the area and due to the reviews on yelp. There are a lot of regulars but even if you're not their friendly personalities make you feel at home and welcomed. It's a small coffee shop but it's comfortable. 4 stars only because it's a little expensive if you're on a budget other than that it's the perfect downtown coffee shop.

Very welcoming cafe with excellent coffee, lattes and delicious food. Whether it's a snack with your coffee or a sandwich the food is fresh and tasty. Bob T and his staff are the friendliest of any cafe I have been to in Toronto. It's also a great place to meet someone for work, or catch up with a friend.

Cozy little cafe. I like that it seems to be a family run place, it is always the owner and I think his daughter there in the morning. Very friendly service. Even when they are very busy they still take the time to make you feel welcome and ask you how your day is. The breakfast burrito is delicious. Coffee is always very fresh. Usually I drink the dark roast, it has good body without having... more

Wow! Best cappuccino ever. They'll make it foamy if that's what you want! The staff was super friendly, and after sitting in the cafe for 15 minutes, I could tell that they know how to keep their customers. At least 20 regulars stopped by in that time period.

Cafe 260 has a wide variety of delicious drinks, treats and breakfast dishes. They'll make anything to your liking. If I was from the... more

I just finished a super amazing grilled cheese with tomato. It was fresh made on great seed bread and havarti. They give you a choice of cheddar,swiss etc. The decor and ambiance is nice, the service is prompt and 7$ for a great fresh sandwich and specialty tea is a great deal. I'll definitely be making myself a lunch time regular here.

nice place. Nice service. I only got a Latte to go, so I can't speak to anything else there. It wasn't amazing, but it was good.

I love this place. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are super nice and interactive! Whenever I get the chance, I come here as much as I can during the school year. :)

I like to try new things so I would usually order different drinks with a panini melt or soup. Everything I've had is delicious. My favorite would be the red Symphony and roast beef panini melt.

Probably my most... more

In the midst of George Brown College, Richmond campus and right next to Gallery 260 is the aptly named Cafe 260. I've been here twice on the Indie Passport, once for take out and once to stay. First time around it was a weekday, and there were a few people comfortably settled in cozy chairs. The folks behind the counter were helpful and friendly and made me feel very welcome. I asked about... more

A cafe I always tell people to go to whenever they ask for one located downtown is Cafe 260. Although this was my second visit, the cafe always stuck out in the back of my mind. Why? The first time I had their white chocolate latte, I was in heaven! The selection of coffee and specialty drinks here are absolutely phenomenal! (Take a look at the pictures of the drinks! Not only pretty but... more

Turkey, cranberry and Brie grilled panini was amazing. I think it was homemade cranberry sauce, tasted like what my Grandma used to make. At first I thought $8.50 seemed a little pricey for just a sandwich, but it was delicious, and huge. If it hadn't been so good I would have had trouble finishing it. Latte was also very good, nice thick foam with a lovely little flower on top. Even though... more

Cozy, fantastic service which is matched by their coffee - suberb!

Ambiance

A little on the small side, right away I felt at home as the brick walls and vibe about it is very relaxing and old school! The architecture feels very 1800's/early 1900s and it's right beside an arts gallery so perhaps that's why it feels cool to be around ;) The baristas are very friendly and laidback which has a large impact on the overall feel of the place :)!

In terms of the... more

Small shop with decent drip coffee for a decent price ($2.25 for a large) and a selection of sandwiches, Cafe 260 offers free WiFi (thought it was flaky while I was here) for it's customers and didn't hassle me one bit as I sat here loitering for 4 hours with my laptop doing some work.

House drip coffee wasn't bad, the mini syrup flavor shots were were a nice touch as well.

Also have small... more

I started working next door to this place a few months ago and I'm so happy that 260 is so close by! Their regular drip coffee is the BEST IN TORONTO - seriously, and there are food options - the egg breakfast sandwiches are delicious and you get to choose your toppings.

I'm not a huge fan of the espresso at 260, I go to other spots nearby, but that's a personal preference, I know others love... more

My second visit has improved the experience here. While the cappuccino was pedestrian at best the Mochacino quite decent.
Topped with fresh grated chocolate it gives out a nice coffee and coco aroma. The drink is not overly sweet unlike the other famous chain one is used too.
I could also feel the espresso shot was more pronounced so overall a decent drink.
Bumping my rating to 3 stars for now.... more

This cafe is a little gem on Richmond East. I recently started working close by and began visiting it pretty much daily. The coffee is great (I love the dark roast) and the staff are pleasant and informative. It only took a few days for them to know my "regular" and they've always greeted me with a smile. I've never felt so welcome at a cafe before.

Sometimes the wireless is down but they... more

Came to Café 260 with a voucher in hand for $12 worth of goodies.

It is located near George Brown College and no doubt students are their biggest clients.

It is home to a few cozy couches and wi-fi is available but you will have to inquire as to the password.

They have a good selection of sandwiches and paninis for under $7.00 and gigantic muffins and substantially-sized cookies for $1.95.

I'm starting to frequent the "indie" coffee shops more often-- they know their coffee, and their shops have more "personality" and "charm".

Cafe 260 definitely has great coffee and Fair-Trade-Organic options. They also have a few baked goods (tried them, pretty good) and sandwich options (I haven't tried them out yet so I can't comment on them).

It's a small coffee shop, and sometimes it... more

I live in the area, so have many cafes to choose from ( Bisogno, Fussaro's, etc) and i must say this is the only cafe that i keep going back to.
The atmosphere is super cozy and artsy, the owner and baristas always make you feel so welcome and as if you've known each other for years, and they even offered me a cup of their new rooibis drink on the house one time.
The cappuccinos are delicious... more

free WiFi - great coffee - not much sitting room - but, very friendly staff

I really enjoyed my visit here, out of all the physically small stops of the passport this and Bisogno are probably the only ones that also have some sort of charm and personality. There is nothing fancy at all inside here that really sets it apart and it does give off a downtown vibe as it seems to have options for people that are always on the go who are I assume the main patrons here.

But... more

I decided to drop by this place since I had the Indie Coffee Passport and was having dinner nearby. It's connected to an art gallery so naturally there's interesting artwork around the cafe. The cafe has a warm and comforting feel to it. The barista was really nice. She suggested that I get a larger size since the passport covered it (nice, no need convincing here!) and let me lingered a bit... more

Cafe 260 is kind of in a strange neighbourhood.. I will never venture out to this area if not for the Indie Coffee Passport!

I do find the cafe itself really cozy.. dim and soft "gallery" like lighting...

The Cappuccino itself is not bad... not as strong what I like.. more milky but I drank it like a Caffe Latte.

Like those armchairs and the stylish side table for my coffee.

Free Wifi.. and... more

Cafe 260's neighbourhood is a strange enigma to me - i'm always surprised when i'm there what a sterile sort of area it is, seemingly filled big boxy buildings and little charm.

And then when you step into Cafe 260 it's like a cozy hug - welcoming, warm, and the promise of delicious beverages! There's a mix of regular tables and chairs as well as side table/armchair seating - the latter is... more

Another one of those lovely places that I'd probably have missed if it were
not for the Indie Coffee Passport.

First thing Saturday morning, I went over there to meet up with Nicole H. for a minicoffee crawl.

I got there way too early, but the moment I walked in, I instantly felt comfortable and welcome. It's the kind of place I could see myself visiting everyday for a coffee. Very friendly... more

Stopped by here, like many others, as part of the Indie Coffee Passport. I'm glad i found this place nestled away on the George Brown Campus. Had a great latte, not too strong like I'm finding increasingly at more and more places. I had a turkey sandwich which was delish. They were serving some sort of squash soup as well that Ill have to try if I go back, seemed popular.

It's a bit out of the... more

I thought to myself, WOW Gallery 260 has a Cafe inside? I looked through the glass inside the Gallery and didn't seem to see anybody inside so I walked a few more steps and voila, Cafe 260.

There was plenty of Artwork here to warp my mind as I looked at a piece resembling Gaseous State, sorry forget the exact name but it was GAS related. Cappuccino was offered as the friendly staff even told... more

C O F F E E P A S S P O R T S T O P (#7)
Drink: Large White Chocolate Latte
Food: White chocolate chip cookie

Atmosphere: This place is small. To me, it feels like a coffee shop that was set up in a cave. Is that a good thing? It would be great for the winter time to cozy up while sipping a nice warm coffee, but for the summer/spring times when the sun is out, I'd rather be in a place where... more

Located in the heart of George Brown College, Café 260 is a cozy alcove that serves espresso, baked goods, sandwiches and soups. The coffee is delicious and the beans are roasted fresh every 2 days. There is free wireless Internet for patrons, but you will have to ask for the password. It may be small, but that only adds to it's charm. I think I would enjoy spending more time here.

Plusses:   * good espresso   * friendly service �� * free wifi   * decent non-coffee options, including food   * nice atmosphereMinuses:   * is a little small so could get cramped in winter

Cafe 260 is truly a great find in the Downtown core. Freshly made Sandwiches & Panini, and home made Soups. Baked goods that rock your socks and a wide selection of hot & cold drinks for everyone's taste.Great environment for studying or looking for some quiet time offering free internet.

Tranquil little cafe on richmond street, a few steps away from the Richmond rogue. Hearty soups and sammies are served along with some free wireless internetz for those of us lugging laptops. Open till 8 during the weekdays. They also roast their own beans!

A True Cafe

Great fresh roasted coffees, Great food (the best Panini in town), and most importantly great service. I have been frequenting Cafe 260 for almost two years now and have yet to find another place in the city that matches its authenticity.

So Yummy!

The 260 Cafe has it all! Great coffee, friendly staff and AMAZING food! I have been a patron of theirs for a few years now and I can say without hesitation that I have never had a negative experience. In fact, I have yet to find a place that makes better panini, chili or soup. So yummy!

Cafe 260

Cafe 260 is a quaint coffee shop with quality fresh roasted coffee drinks in all flavours. The cafe offers fresh baked goods and sandwiches. Delicious Panini melts and a comfortable atmosphere to relax in. Free wireless Internet as well.

Well worth the visit to 260 Richmond Street East.
