High Notes Coffee + Vinyl: Where Specialty Coffee and Soundtracks Meet

Tucked into Toronto’s vibrant Dundas Street West, High Notes Coffee + Vinyl is a sensory haven for those who cherish both specialty coffee and the warm crackle of vinyl records. Founded by Chris, whose finance background enhances the shop’s meticulous approach to quality and experience—and cofounder Ryan—High Notes was born from the dream of blending two irresistible passions: expertly crafted coffee and a rich, curated selection of new and vintage vinyl. Step inside and you’ll instantly sense the community-first vibe, where music flows as freely as espresso and every visitor is invited to explore a sprawling record wall between sips. The shop doubles as a neighborhood hub, hosting events that fuse Toronto’s creative spirit with coffee culture in a uniquely immersive way.

High Notes’ coffee program celebrates the art and science of extraction, with a menu that spotlights carefully sourced blends and origins. While sipping your expertly prepared cup—think nuanced tasting notes and aromatic depths—you can browse records spanning genres from hip-hop icons to rock legends. The café also features specialty pastries and treats that pair perfectly with both your chosen brew and accompanying soundtrack. For guests seeking a truly memorable experience, try their seasonal coffee features while spinning a favorite record from their extensive collection. At High Notes Coffee + Vinyl, each visit invites you to linger, listen, and discover something new—whether it’s in your cup or on the turntable.
