The Roasted Nut

Written By

A café built entirely around one obsession: nuts, roasted in-house and worked into just about everything on the menu. At 768 Queen St. W, small-batch dry roasting happens right in front of you - no added oils, no unnecessary preservatives, and the process fills the whole block with a smell regulars swear by.

The nut butter lattes are the headline act, but the menu goes further with things like Caramel Pecan Cheesecake, a signature parfait, and rotating seasonal flavours (think Pumpkin Spice Cashew Butter come fall). Everything's vegan, right down to the desserts, and the retail side lets you take the obsession home - nut butters, granola, tahini, and their own coffee blends line the shelves.

It's a cozy, no-frills stop, easygoing enough for a solo work session and distinctive enough to be worth the trip on its own - open daily from 8 a.m.
