De Mello Coffee: Toronto’s Playful Powerhouse of Specialty Coffee

Step into De Mello Coffee and you’re greeted by an atmosphere that radiates creativity and warmth. Founded by Felix Cha and his team, De Mello has grown from a humble Toronto micro-roastery into an award-winning coffee empire with multiple cafés, a state-of-the-art roastery, and a hub for coffee innovation. Celebrated as the “Established Coffee Shop of the Year” and regularly cited among Toronto’s top roasters, De Mello stands out for its commitment to sourcing exceptional beans globally and championing fair, organic, and sustainable practices. Their whimsical brand identity and community-focused spaces, like the luminous café at The Well, make every visit feel like a gathering of kindred spirits passionate about great coffee.

De Mello’s coffee portfolio bursts with character—signature blends like Dancing Goats, Butterfly Kiss, Gentleman, and Nom Nom Dark Roast showcase meticulously sourced origins and imaginative roast profiles. Seasonal microlots, including rare cinnamon-processed coffees, highlight their flair for experimentation. The in-house pastry selection is a local secret, especially when paired with their expertly crafted espresso or a French press-brewed single origin. For the adventurous, ask the baristas for limited releases or Womxn-Powered coffees. Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned aficionado, De Mello invites you to play, taste, and discover what coffee can truly be.
