Starbucks Reserve
Naming Starbucks is a bit of cop out, but it’s one of our staples when you just need a spot to go to. For now in 2022, this is the only Starbucks Reserve location in Toronto, the others in Ontario are in Oakville and Niagara. This location at the Shop at Don Mills Plaza is pretty large with at least 20 tables. You know that you can always get reliable wi-fi and along with an under-table hook to hang your bag or jacket. We also like the fact that Starbucks do not really limit your seating. Which means you can get a lot of work or studying done without worry about being kicked out

Baretto Cafe
If you’re planning to work for a while and want some good food, Baretto is the spot! The cafe is more like a restaurant cafe, they have everything Italian from pizza, to sandwiches, pasta and even chicken parm! What caught our attention is cute little lattes with bear drawings. We love places that pay attention to details. There is also a good amount of seating. This place does get busy, so it's best to avoid lunch and dinner hours.

Forest Cafe
This trendy little spot near Fairview mall got popular from their Dalgona coffee on Tik Tok. However their stand out quality of drinks and food kept customers coming back. They offer everything from iced coffee to whipped cream-loaded croffles (croissant waffle). They vibe here is super chill, along with a couple patio seats outside. However, it is a smaller cafe, so there is limited seating, so we advise going peak times.

Which is vital when looking for a place to study or do work on your laptop. You can count on these larger locations to provide that.
