Toronto restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Coxwell Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Came to visit right after the restaurant opened, skipped all the rush hours. The entire restaurant had a very homely atmosphere. Food was tasty and the portions were so great!! Food was amazing, we ordered guacamole to start and a veggie platter for two shared among the three of us and it was more than sufficient amount of food. The owner/server was so friendly and got everything very quick. Food was fresh and I would highly recommend anyone who wants to try authentic mexican food. It’s close to the subway and you will not be disappointed!

Food is excellent, but if they are busy, may be long wait for food. To avoid that, we usually get here by 6:30 pm. The chicken tamale very tasty. Sangria was okay. The meat platter for 2 very good, more than enough food. Friendly service, Thank you!

First off the location is easy to get to, being steps from Coxwell station and right on Danforth at street level. There's plenty of seating inside and the vibe is super colorful with many masks lining the walls. Price wise costs were higher than expected, but portions are very generous and dishes are heavy/filling. For example, at dinner, a meal for two combo was enough food for 3 people (we got the meat plate option). I liked that tons of fresh veggies/ salad was used for the tacos which tasted homemade and not greasy. The only qualm I had was with the beef being overcooked (dry and hard) for our beef tacos. Otherwise everything was great, flavourful and I'd come back!

El Sol is a great place to go to for authentic Mexican food on the Danforth. The food is pricey, but the portions are big. The staff are friendly, but the service can be slow when it's busy so ordering an appetizer is recommended. They only take cash/debit at this time.

Food is always good! The rice is always warm and fresh. Everything we order is always put together with an artful touch. It’s been our go to Sushi restaurant in Toronto for years!

A favourite and reliable option for sushi and undong. This is my mom’s favourite spot on the Danforth, (she’s Korean and a very picky eater.) we come here at least once very month. The staff are kind and courteous. The space is clean and comfy. Can’t go wrong esp with any of the lunch specials!

Amazing find. Delicious authentic Japanese food! Udon broth was amazing. Tempura light and not greasy. Hot green tea and hot Sake were great too! The serving bowls, pots and cups were beautiful.

Food was served quickly and efficiently. Staff was very friendly and had no issues accommodating our dietary requirements. Always a great time at sunset grill.

Sunset Grill - if you want a decent, good breakfast with a throwback, cozy environment, then this is where you want to go. Located steps away from Coxwell subway station, this Sunset Grill is a local favourite spot. Like many similar places, Sunset Grill serves your standard breakfast fare. You get your eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, choice of bread - you get the idea. What we go to Sunset Grill for though, are their home fries. These home fries are not the kind that come pre-made in a bag from your freezer. NOPE. These home fries come from real potatoes, cut, and done right on the stove. Bite into them and you can taste actual potato with that chew. I've been to a few other breakfast restaurants where the home fries taste more like that powdery stuff that comes out of the freezer - not my fave so Sunset Grill is the way to go for me. There are lots of different breakfast combinations to choose from. Show up before 10am and they even have morning specials so if you're an early bird, give that a go as well. Now, a few more comments about the food that we had. Overall, taste is what you'd expect - a good hearty breakfast. If you ask for over easy eggs, they will come to you over easy. Scrambled is scrambled. The breakfast sausages taste good - what you'd expect. Perhaps the only thing to mention is that the bacon is on the saltier side but definitely crispy. Bread - you get your choice of white, brown, or rye. Featured in the images is the brown bread. The restaurant itself is actually bigger than you'd think given the storefront. There are 2 levels and plenty of seating. At the time I went, customers could choose where they wanted to sit. Before ending this off, I have to give a shout out to the staff that work at this Sunset Grill. I've been a few times now and seen the same faces and they are a lovely bunch. Smiles for all the customers and you can tell they know who the regulars are. I have to say, I appreciate the atmosphere of this Sunset Grill. It's just easy, it's chill, and there's a bit of a throwback to times now past which I find nostalgic and homey. It may not be the most modern joint in the area but I appreciate its charm with good people and good food. They also serve omelettes and burgers which I plan to try next time I go. Give it a go if you're in the area.

Food was great, customer service was great and the place and bathrooms were clean! Went there with friends for brunch and we were all happy! Great local breakfast place. I had the omelette with potatoes, they were phenomenal ❤️

Sunset Grill delivers perfectly on its promise of being a greasy spoon. Friendly staff, healthy portions and unbelievably quick service. As my butt hit the chair a passing server asked if I wanted coffee, then delivered it within the minute. After I put in my food order it was about 90 seconds for it to arrive!!! I’ll be back.

My first time at this pub/restaurant and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was just looking for a place to pass some time and have a quick dinner while my daughter was at work. The service was top notch. The food was all freshly prepared and delicious. I had the chicken on a bun with a side of Caesar salad. The wine was good. The atmosphere was friendly and seems like there are locals who frequent the establishment which is always a good sign! Turkey dinner is on the menu for Thursday for American Thanksgiving.. Xi might just have to come back!!

What a great restaurant TKO's is. The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect, and Mary is just magnificent. Their fries are freshly cut, and if you order them, make sure to get the gravy to compliment them, because it's fantastic! Thanks, Mary, for making our evening so fabulous. Cheers!

An absolute gem of the East End, this should be called 'Mary's Bar' as the owner, Mary, is the star of the show, and provides service beyond expectation! Wonderful crowd, food and fresh drinks, if you find yourself between Broadview and Woodbine, call in here for a memorable experience :)

Went here for a leafs finals game - so happy we found this gem of a spot! Food is all apps/quick bites but went perfect with drinking. Mary runs the whole show herself - serving, bartending and making every customer feel super welcome. She takes the time to chat with everyone and make them feel at home, while running the whole show! We will definitely be back.

Excellent little spot on the Danforth. Good food and terrific for watching sports. The owner Mary is delightful. She makes every customer feel like the most important person in the world. If I lived in Toronto I'd be a regular.

Went to this location. The service was good staff is friendly. I was there at night only 2 people working for a 24hr location but the store itself was dirty food on the floor tables not cleaned and the most disgusting thing is the sinks they have next to the service counter. More staff would be recommended to help clean the location I did notice the manager constantly washing her hands after cooking and serving people 👍 but wearing gloves would be better.

Honestly, if you go to an A and W, it's a franchise so you know what kind of food you're going to get. It's fast food but for me, I like the quality of their standard burgers more than other places. I also like their breakfast options. What I have noticed though is that not all A & Ws do breakfast well. I've been to locations where my over easy eggs are overdone grey and my bacon doesn't exist. This review in particular is for the breakfast at the Coxwell and Danforth location. Images show one of their standard breakfast options with choice of eggs, bacon, and bread. I appreciated that my overeasy eggs were in fact, over easy! Bacon was thin (standard across this franchise) but it was cooked well and not burnt. Bread was up to expectation. What I appreciated is that the staff present that day were polite and professional and seemed to have a genuine rapport with one another and with customers. So, if you're looking for a quick bite that's relatively affordable, you can give this A &W location a try.
Eve Rythingelse - 6 months ago

A&W is an absolute gem! The food is exquisite, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service is impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it ideal for any occasion. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience

I am a fitness coach, and it's really hard to eat delicious food while tracking calories and eating healthy. However, A&W is perferct as it not only gives me delicious food, but i can hit my daily macros as well. i love the staff service as they're so friendly to me. Will be recommending it to everyone who is on their fitness journey but wants good food as well.

By now, I think most people are quite familiar with Subway and all the different types of sub sandwiches you can get. This Subway location is right near Coxwell Subway station, Coxwell and Danforth. I see mixed reviews and as with most franchises, I think it depends on when you go, who's working that day, and all those other factors. Considering all that, on my visit, the staff were professional and I received my subs in good order. Toppings were running low when I got there but staff had no issues getting more ingredients when I inquired. Featured in the images are the Canadian club and Italian BMT. As you can probably tell, we like a lot of vegetables on our subs! For anyone who has never been to a Subway before, you can choose the sub sandwich you want, choose the type of bread you want, and add vegetable toppings and sauces to really customize the sub sandwich to your liking. Subway also has rice bowls, wraps, and cookies as well. Not gonna lie, their cookies are pretty phenomenal (though not featured here). Some of their newer toppings are fun - try the fried onions. They add a nice crunch to the sub. This comment is for Subway in general and has no bearing on this particular location. One thing I get annoyed by is the way the Subway menu is now featuring certain sub sandwiches. Some of their classics like the Italian BMT are really buried on the menu. Overall, if you're looking for a quick food fix, you can try give this Subway location a try.

Posting this review a bit late. I visited on the night of October 24th, and both the service and food were excellent. The staff member who served me, Sahil (if I’m not mistaken), was very attentive. He treated me kindly and customized my sandwich exactly to my preferences.

After 27 years of living in the East End, I finally have a “local” - with just a few fun-filled visits the owners know my name and my drink order when I walk through the welcoming doors! Karaoke was never really my thing (even as a profess vocalist) but the weekly sessions that Sheldon hosts are so laid back and and he also knows my name and favourite genres after a handful of visits ; and the clientele are super supportive of each other- Queer, Straight,, all the colours and cultures of the international rainbow! - and, with that, Tikka drops the mic 🎤🌈🎶

CC’s is a hidden gem on Danforth with an excellent menu and tap list. Great Karaoke on Fridays and I heard they’re starting an open mic event. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the east end.
Daniela Trozzolo - a week ago

C.C's is a true gem, with good vibes, good people, one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had, that you dream about and crave and look forward to eating, karaoke with high quality mics that make you sound great! I'm in love with C.C's and my only regret is not showing up more often. By far my favourite place in the east end.

C.C.'S BAR & GRILL has become my home base for fun and good times. A warm welcoming place that is a safe place for LGBTQ2+ folks. I have a great time every time I come by. + The wings are totally awesome! 😋❤️😊
Tammi G - a month ago

This bar definitely feels sketchy upon first glance but honestly I felt very safe there. There are a lot of pride flags around and they have none gendered bathrooms! I didn't get to stay for the karaoke but the staff were super fun, funny, and friendly. I definitely hope to come back and if you're looking for a chill queer safe bar with a sorta dive feel that isn't too skatchy I totally recommend C.Cs

I visited Barburrito around 9 PM, and even though it was a little busy, the service was impressively fast. The food arrived warm, and the taste did not disappoint! The portion of protein was just right, making it a satisfying meal. I highly recommend trying their tacos—they were absolutely delicious! Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely come back again.

2.5/5 Ordered via SkipTheDishes and went to go picked up. My order wasn’t recognized in the system and wasn’t ready for it to be picked up. They had to make my order which took around 15-20 mins. They did apologize and gave me a Diet Coke, but made a comment and insisted I took a water bottle instead. It was a kind gesture regardless. Overall the serving size was pretty small and the meat was cold. I ordered the jerk chicken and the regular mild chicken but frankly they tasted the same. Their service did make up for it, but I would never be going back

While I didn’t eat here it’s a cute new place on the Danforth off Coxwell. Food was good, service was friendly. They had a deal on Uber Eats, buy one get one free for burritos.
Soraya Wilks - 6 months ago

Good food, reasonable price (about $15 for a regular burrito with a bottle of cola). I always get the same regular burrito and they always load it to overflowing, unlike other burrito places. The people working here are always pleasant.

We entered hungry and left so full, so happy and well cared for! The meat and veggie platter is excellent, best prices food you can get in Toronto at this point. The special tea is very nice as well, hope we come back here soon!

My first time trying Ethiopian food and I was very impressed. The food was delicious, so flavorful and a great variety. The service was excellent with a beautiful atmosphere in the back garden patio. I am definitely coming back!

Three of us went to Lucy’s before a play. We ordered a vegetarian injera platter to share. My ginger tea was perfection - lots of fresh ginger! My friends had delicious coffee. Definitely returning. Beautiful service too.

I've been to many ethopian restaurants in Toronto and this one beats all by far. The taste, portion size (eat in), and flavors was not lacking at all. My go-to place for authentic ethopian food.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pictures! Meat Platter Combo of cooked kitfo, tibs, chacha tibs, split peas, lentil, collard greens, and three portions of injera. Kitfo was well seasoned and spiced, while the tibs had a much more buttery, aromatic flavour. Chacha had a caramelized onion and black pepper sauce which had lots of umami with a rich sweetness, and a slight lamb gameyness. All meats were well done so it was a little tough and dry. Injera wasn't overly sour either and was quite nice to eat.

Pork Carnitas with the fermented watermelon was a dripping delicious delight. Also treated myself to the Rosa Latte, which had fabulous floral undertones that complement the milky espresso in a way I didn’t know was needed to brighten up a grey day.

# 4.5/5 Stars: A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Venezuelan Delights! I stumbled upon this charming coffee and food haven, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe that makes you feel like you're in a friend's living room. The Venezuelan cuisine is authentic and mouth-watering. From the arepas to the tequeños, every bite is a flavor explosion that will leave you craving more. If I have one quibble, it's that the prices are a tad steep. Portions are not big. However, the quality of the food and drinks, combined with the warm atmosphere, makes it well worth the splurge. Overall, this hidden gem is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. Be prepared to fall in love with the flavors and atmosphere! # Highlights: - Authentic Venezuelan cuisine - Cozy and inviting atmosphere - High-quality coffee selection - Generous portions and beautiful presentation - Knowledgeable and passionate staff # Lowlights: - Prices are a bit higher than average # Recommendations: - Try the arepas – you won't regret it! - Ask the baristas for coffee recommendations – they're happy to help! - Be prepared for a cozy and intimate atmosphere – perfect for dates or catch-ups with friends!

Stopped in for lunch and so happy we did. The shrimp ceviche was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. We also ordered the Reina arepas and pork empanadas. Loved having so many gluten free options! Lattes were also amazing. Great service and cozy vibe. We will definitely be back soon!

We had a lovely meal at Pomarosa this past weekend! We came for lunch around 1 and had no trouble getting in. It was really hard to choose something off of the menu as everything sounds delicious. The food did not disappoint. I would highly recommend the cheese and guava empanada, as well as the carnitas and pabellon arepas. Next time I'm coming back for the ceviche. We're meat eaters (and there is a lot of tasty meat dishes on the menu) but came with a vegan and I was impressed by how vegan-friendly the menu was. Child-friendly too! There is a kid's meal on the menu, and a kid's hot chocolate which made our toddler very happy. There was also plenty of room to fold up and store our wagon, and I noticed the restaurant had high chairs for families with younger children. The staff did not seem to be perturbed by the presence of children and we very much appreciated the chill vibes. Great spot, great food, chill staff, fun music, vegan and child-friendly - what's not to love?

Very cute café restaurant with Venezuelan specialties. The horchata latte was lovely and my friend loved her food the times she’s come here. Will definitely try some food next time, they have vegan options.
