Cafe 23

This two-level patio is one of West Queen West's best kept secrets, with a private garden feel, locally roasted coffee, Montreal bagels, and some seriously fantastic butter tarts.

Boxcar Social Summerhill

An industrial but serene patio matches the vibe of this Boxcar Social location in Summerhill. You don't need to choose between caffeine and booze with a menu that combines both, so unwind with beans or beer at this expansive outdoor hang space.

If live music on a cafe patio is what you're in the mood for, check out this Kensington Market spot with shady outdoor areas in the front and back. There are events almost nightly, and this place functions as a bar as well as a coffee shop.

Hot Black Coffee

Hot Black Coffee

The hidden back patio at this coffee shop is one of Queen West's worst kept secrets, in the best way possible. Perfect for icy cold coffees and an egg and cheese toast in the shade.

An idyllic back patio at this combination cafe, bar, restaurant and bottle shop is full of nooks and crannies you can wedge yourself into for a cheeky coffee or glass of wine along with a few small plates of nibbles.

A colourful mural declares "you are here" on this Little India patio that's irresistible for portraits. Coffee, beer, food, whole birthday cakes: they've got everything here.

This minimalist patio in the Financial District keeps it sleek and crisp with clean lines and white furniture that provides a great backdrop for social media posts of your morning coffee.
