What customers say

I first visited in 2018 and I can for sure say that these folks are committed to excellence. It’s a coffee shop that serves the community. The coffee is great! They even partnered with a local Black Owned Coffee Roaster “Bold & Gritty”.

This is a hidden gem! Perfect shop to hang with friends or get some work done. Their Guatemala blend is absolutely delicious and so easy to drink black. Lots of tea and beverage options for kids and anyone not crazy about coffee too.

Let me start by mentioning New City Cafe & Roastery is definitely unique in hiring young adults from the neighbourhood and giving them the opportunity to learn some skills. What a fantastic ethos! The interior is full of earthy tones which exudes warmth.

★★★★★ — Shazbo, 2025-11

Absolutely love this place. Their lattes are hands down the best I've had - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and you can actually taste the espresso. On top of that, they look amazing every time. The prices are unbeatable, especially for the quality you get.
