Brace yourself; winter is coming. And you know what that means: shovelling snow, commuting delays, and spending hours and hours in Toronto's coziest coffee shops and embracing the hygge lifestyle. There is perhaps nothing more satisfying than braving the cold to warm your hands up on a latte as you power up your laptop to whatever assignment you're working on or start flipping through the pages of your latest novel.
Toronto has plenty of cozy coffee shops (and by cozy, we mean big tables so you can spread out your work, exposed brick, lots of baked treats, and delicious hot drinks). I firmly believe if we start lighting candles in our cafes as they do in Copenhagen, it'll be a winter game changer (hint at all the cafés on this list). However, despite the no open-flame rule, the following list embodies what it means to feel hygge in your soul. Put on your knit sweater, wrap yourself in a wool coat, fill your tote bag with books you want to read, and head to one of these cozy, snug coffee shops.
