Rooster Coffee House

Just taking one more day of rest but we will be open tomorrow Dec 27th to go. (...King Street will be open Monday!) We can't wait to see you then.

Not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse dog reindeer! Peace and love..play safe and see you on the 27th!

On the winter Solstice we turned 11 years old. The shortest day of the year also means the days are getting longer now...like a new beginning where all potential lies. Even if its measured in tiny minutes We look back in these times with such gratitude. All of the people and stars that aligned (not just Jupiter and Saturn) to bring us here. This year these feelings are more powerful than ever. Facing so much together in spite of our collective worries...we feel even mo...re, a collective love which springs hope. Almost a year ago we all talked of being in this together....279 days later...we have walked it together. Only because of that have we been able to be here for one more crazy trip around the sun. So today we send love and hope and deep gratitude for the blessings of a community. From our whole beautiful team to all of you and yours... We send much much love and most of all..HOPE. (Its a powerful force ) See more

"Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there" The rain comes and with it a reason to turn down the volume just a little... go for a wander and smell fresh rain on a hot city sidewalk.... ahhhh Just a little reminder to take a break from the noise once and a while. ... Hi King Street!! We can forget how much love we poured into these walls when we created you 7 years ago! With school out and offices still quiet, it gives us these quieter moments to fall in love with you all over again (Jay was here late one night, long back before our June open...just he and I.. safe distancing so don't worry !)

Here's how you celebrate #nationalicecreamday ..in a Toronto heat wave! We are serving up mounds of delicious deliciousness using hand crafted ice-cream from Torontos ice cream family at Summers ice cream.

Cones served daily at our King street location and ice cream sammies sold at out Broadview location....humm does anyone want 'em at Jarvis? Let us know!!! @ Rooster Coffee House

Its sometimes in the going aways...even if its for a short time...you get to feel how special people are to you. "If you love what you do you will never work a day in your life." After ten years in this crazy service industry you learn how true this statement is and you also learn that the reason you love coming into work every day is because of the people you work with as much as the ones you serve. Your work family. They lift you up...make you laugh...carry the load....kick you in the butt and remind you that life is much better together There is great power in a loving (and nutty) team...a collective energy! We will keep the porch light on for your speedy return Shuto. Hurry hurry quick like a bunny... you are part of our fabric now. @ Rooster Coffee House

Heat wave solution from us to you!! King Street is going to be open until 7pm now for all those folks at home that need an excuse to leave the air-conditioning.....What better excuse than handmade ice cream! Our friends at Summers are a Toronto family business that make this incredible ice cream daily!! Come by and give it a whirl...besides Ice cream makes you happy...science says! (we have a vegan option too!)

We've got you covered! Just a reminder that today we have to all cover up inside to help protect each other. To help everyone with this transition we have some disposable masks that we can provide if you don't have one yet. (At our cost) ... We have also been making reusable masks with Evelyn, one of our long time regulars. We give all proceeds to cystic fibrosis research. Someone VERY close to us has CF and since covering up is the kindest thing we can do for him Evelyn has been making REUSABLE masks for us since we opened and Nickle 9 distillery has switched gears to help get hand sanitizer to people too. Here's to the helpers! @ Rooster Coffee House

Happy Happy Pride Toronto! Papa Rooster painted this beautiful wall for us a year ago and its a daily reminder of the diversity that makes our city and planet so wonderful. We also wanted to tell people that even though our shops have re-opened we are still happy to deliver coffee and other goods to those that just don't feel ready or safe to come back yet.

Solidarity is important. #blacklivesmatter

We did it! WE ARE OPEN. What a ride the past 76 days has been. ( but who's counting! ) ... We don't take for granted for a moment just how lucky we are to be here...healthy and blessed by so many people that have enabled us to be in the position to open our doors again at all three locations. Albeit in a very new way it is a blessing that we have all been able to arrive here safely, together We need to thank our team that, when asked if they were ready to come back to work..enthusiastically put up their hands. We are honored that they trusted us to get them back safely and to do everything we can to offer the same to our community and friends. We are here because of the outpouring of support that all of YOU guys have given us from the moment the doors closed. The texts...the shout outs...the sharing you have done with so many of your friends...the on line orders...the mystery wine bread and flower drop offs... the write ups... the thumbs up when you saw us cleaning to get ready... its been (and I'm sure will continue to be)..quiet the "adventure " It truly takes a village and in spite of so much tragedy our gift from this has been to witness that people really really are good. (they just don't get as much press! ) Thank you for having us back and for helping us get here! Xo so much love xo See more

"All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust!" We set a goal to re-open June 1 Snails pace..to stay safe.... We did a 4 hour pop yesterday and we wanted to thank everyone that came! The customers that jumped in on the fly.. moved planters....directed traffic....smiled with us through the lumpy bits...the neighbors that ran us lunch when they saw we couldn't stop...the customer that left us a bottle of bubbles in our drop off bin with a note.."help for the stressful days"...and the patient souls that helped fill up this box with sales chits in a few short hours. It gives us hope! You were all willing to wait for us to do this at our snails pace in efforts to make the experience as safe and comfortable as possible THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU KINDLY from the bottom of our hearts See more

Love letter deliver day tomorrow! . We have enjoyed dropping off surprise care packages to unsuspecting friends, family, teachers, co workers, that older quiet neighbor that doesn't seem to have anyone close. Its been the gas in our tank for the last few weeks. . If people's heart warming reactions to these small delivery surprises are any sign....folks may be feeling a little more alone than we know. These deliveries have been a great heart warmer and so is simply saying... helloooo (in your best mom voice) or giving warm smiling eyes to strangers when we pass them on the street. Try it!!! Its a gift that gives right back!! . Happy Thursday !!! See more

You know that moment when you wake up with all the energy to attack the day!? Us neither !! ...but we HAVE found some work arounds!

Order form on our website or text or DM for pick up at Broadview. Xoxo See more

There was a time, not so long ago, before the land of reservations and expensive brunches when Mothers day was celebrated with kids surprising Mom with breakfast in bed. Often consisting of eggs.... .eggshells...and a half bottle of ketchup! Hand made cards that had been worked on for hours...and a simple flower pulled from somewhere. . And.....in the same tradition...Moms everywhere would crunch their way through those breakfasts with great enthusiasm. Leaving us all feeling like we had done a world of right by her. Happy Mothers Day Moms. Here's to all eggshell eating moms out there that give so much!!! We love you!

Spring is in the air and it has triggered a collective desire to connect! We see it in the birds and the bees and us humans are no exception! Now THIS is our jam!!! We want to help you touch someone...without touching! ... We noticed, tomorrow's deliveries have suddenly shifted to being suprise gifts bags for other people! Some secret admirers and others professing so much love!! To help we have added a section in our order form (in website) so you can write a love note, we will add for you, to go with your suprise (Gosh we love this stuff!) See more

We think familiar smells are more like mini time machines. Inhale for 2...exhale for 4... Order today and time travel tomorrow!

"When the fisherman can't go to sea they repair their nets." It's a good day to look at the good we have all done by staying home and trusting that with patience and perseverance (and a dash of wisdom) spring will always arrive. With days like yesterday we need to remember we must continue to cultivate with care so we can all enjoy a bountiful harvest! Lets keep it up Toronto!
