Ezra's Pound

Nestled in the vibrant Dupont Street corridor, Ezra's Pound stands out as a tranquil haven for Toronto’s coffee enthusiasts and casual café goers alike. This charming café has crafted a distinct niche, known not just for expertly brewed coffee but also for a cozy, almost oasis-like atmosphere that invites you to slow down, sip, and savor.

Ezra's Pound offers a curated selection of exceptional coffee drinks that instantly satisfy both your caffeine cravings and your taste buds. From a velvety latte to a sharp and smooth cortado, and the refreshing, well-balanced iced coffee or iced Americano, every cup is thoughtfully prepared with care. Those who favour a green tea twist will appreciate their flawlessly crafted matcha — richly vibrant with a strong, smooth flavor that avoids that grainy edge so common elsewhere. Complementing these beverages is the café’s wonderful array of baked goods like the indulgent vegan chocolate brownie and the perfectly moist banana muffin. There’s also the standout bowl of hot chocolate, which promises a cozy, chocolaty hug on a chilly day.

What sets Ezra’s Pound apart goes beyond just the food and drink—it’s the overall experience. Multiple customers have raved about the café’s serene ambiance, describing the back patio as a hidden gem that serves as a peaceful retreat from Toronto’s busy city life. “The patio is like a little oasis,” one reviewer shared, emphasizing the rare blend of quietness amid urban buzz. The staff's warmth and attentiveness are consistently mentioned, with many praising baristas who are approachable and happy to bring your order right to your table, reinforcing a welcoming, community-driven vibe.

Ezra’s Pound also takes pride in its commitment to quality and sustainability, roasting their own coffee beans with care and offering them for sale in beautifully packaged 12 oz valve bags from renowned coffee regions such as Colombia, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. This not only allows patrons to enjoy their favorite brew on the spot but also to bring a little piece of Ezra's Pound home. The care for the environment is visible too, with fully compostable to-go cups including lids, reflecting a conscious attempt to merge pleasure with responsibility.

Customer feedback highlights some nuances as well; while the café’s food offerings like breakfast cookies and granola with yogurt receive praise for freshness and taste, some wish for a broader lunch menu. Nonetheless, the prices strike a reasonable balance given the quality and the central location, offering good value especially in a city where coffee culture can often veer toward premium pricing.

Whether you're seeking a quiet nook to study, meet a friend for a relaxed coffee date, or simply indulge in a thoughtfully roasted cup, Ezra’s Pound delivers an inviting and authentic experience. Its blend of quality drinks, charming atmosphere, and friendly service create a memorable coffee stop that feels uniquely Toronto.
