Offering an origin-based approach to coffee, De Mello Palheta is one of Toronto's favourite coffee shops plus roastery. The industrial chic space in midtown welcomes guests in with a colourful mural on the exterior and is adorned with a cluster of umbrellas inside, on the ceiling. There is no bad luck here, though, as the global network of coffee farmers from whom De Mello procures its coffees has a solid relationship with the café. The knowledgeable staff being able explain to customers how the coffees showcase the inherent traits of the region they are from only adds to the strength of the relationship with farmers. Pair your coffee with one of De Mello's delicious treats, like the tender and savoury corn scone.
