Rooster Coffee House

479 Broadview Avenue, Toronto, ON M4K 2N4

With a view like this, it’s no wonder the owners at this neighbourhood café decided to populate the sidewalk out front with bistro tables and chairs to create a makeshift patio. Looking out over the Don Valley from the top of Riverdale Park, this street side seating area offers breathtaking views of the city skyline. Best of all, you can drink in the scenic setting while enjoying a velvety smooth cappuccino paired with a delicious pastry.
