Mos Mos

Hidden coffee gem in the underground at King station. I read the previous reviews and thought I’d try a new coffee shop near work. I went after lunch and there was still quite a line up. When you get to the front of the line, they ask you to choose a cup size, apply a sticker that matches accordingly to what you would like to drink, then they ask for your name. I decided to try their Mango Chai Latte, as this seemed to be a popular drink that many other Unilocalers have tried. I don’t usually drink Chai but thought I’d give it a go. Definitely recommend trying it. It has a subtle taste of mango thats not too overpowering and it’s really smooth and delicious. The second time I came by I was hooked on the Mango Chai Latte, and the third time I tried their Cappucino. I have to say that the Cappucino tasted just as good as the Mango Chai Latte. So I’d probably say this is my new favourite coffee shop at the moment. If you go in the morning, expect a long line up, but for the most part they’re pretty quick at serving everyone because they always have enough friendly staff working there. The only thing I have to complain about is how many times they have spelt my name wrong and failed miserably!.. Hopefully the next time around they’ll get it right.

This place has incredible coffee, incredible service and such a great vibe. The coffee is always fresh and every time I go, I know exactly what to expect. Never disappointed.

This coffee shop is located right outside of King Station (the Melinda Street exit). It is my favourite place to grab a cup of coffee before heading to work.
My order in the morning is a large #2 skinny with two milks and a ‘fog cutter’ sticker. The fog cutter is their darker roast. At $ 2.70 for a large coffee, you cannot go wrong. I think the steamed milk they add on top is the perfect touch to a cup of coffee.
You can prepay for 10 coffees by purchasing their coffee card and get the 11^th coffee free.
If you are hungry for breakfast, grab one of their toasts (around $ 1.85). I love their peanut butter and jam — always the perfect amount of sweet and saltiness. It’s warm and they wrap everything nicely for you to eat on the way to work.
The lines do get quite long around 8:30 am to 9:00 am and at coffee break hours, but it is well worth the wait!

I am a fan of Mos Mos’ cookies — gluten free power cookie to be exact. The cookie consists of raisins, chocolate, flaxseeds… to be honest, that’s all I can detect. I am not entirely sure what certain about the type of flour used. I just know for certain it is yummy, it is $ 2.50 and it is potentially a «guilt free-​er» option than it’s whole wheat cousin.

*Easily one of the better coffee options in downtown PATH that I’ve had. It’s easy to order (pick cup size, choose type of coffee/​latte/​etc, tell the barista your name!)
*A simple cup of coffee here is both super creamy and smooth! Also comes with latte art.
*Favourite non-​coffee drink thus far (contrary to most reviews already) is not the mango chai latte but rather their matcha latte. Very distinct almond-​like silk taste thats subtly sweet and hearty.
*Service is friendly and prompt. They can never spell my name right but that’s alright. Be sure to avoid 9ams and 3pms as these appear to be their busiest.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? No matter how many coffee spots I try in the Financial District, I always come back to Mos Mos. It’s quality coffee at Tim Horton’s prices (ishh) — how can you go wrong? For a medium coffee, I pay $ 2.25 (taxes included).
It’s easy to order, service is always with a smile, and the coffee is perfectly smooth, pleasant, and downright heartwarming. As others have said, regular coffee is ordered by choosing your «number» (the pictures by the cups easily indicate the number of sugars and milks associated with each order number) and sticking it on your cup size of choice (I’m a #5!). If you’re unsure about the process, one of the baristas will almost always approach you with a helpful smile.
While it’s a bit of a wait in the mornings, the crowds are there for good reason. You can’t go wrong with a morning of reliable, quality Mos Mos.

Mos Mos is a cute little coffee shop outside King Station. It’s pretty unique with their sticker ordering system. My friends introduced me to this place. It’s a nice change to have a Café au Lait vs. Latte (way cheaper)! I usually have the regular coffee — skinny double single aka two milks one sugar. Their brewed coffee is good for the café au lait. I love lattes so when I’m not feeling for a latte this is a good alternative.
Their system is good because you can order and then go pay so while you’re paying they are making your order. It gets really busy in the morning but the line goes pretty quick. You can also purchase a prepaid card if you go often.
I would recommend you to check it out if you end up being in the Yonge and King area in the path. The prices are slightly cheaper than your typical coffee chain like Starbucks.

Props to Mos Mos who have managed to differentiate themselves in a chain dominated coffee market… and the customers love it. By this I am of course referring to their unique, cute little sticker ordering system. Essentially you pick your own cup and sticker for what you want e.g. latte and tick the boxes for your milk selection etc. It makes the ordering system very fast and thus the line to pay goes very quickly.
Most people you see milling are waiting for their orders, but even then they don’t have to wait long. The ladies of Mos Mos are friendly, unflappable and run a high functioning production line, whipping out coffees like nobody’s business.
So what’s the coffee actually like?
So keep in mind I’m a Sydney-​bred coffee snob. It’s alright, very drinkable but nothing to write home about. I find that like Starbucks their milk to coffee ratio is way off in the larger sizes so I usually stick to a small. It also somewhat irks me that they do latte art after the fact using cinnamon and a popsicle stick. Not sure what that does to the crema.
When I come here I usually get a dirty chai latte. It’s not too sweet and has that hit of caffeine to complicate things. I also tried the pumpkin spice latte but it was a little to artificial syrupy for my taste. These folks offer a full selection here and they have stickers to match: red eye, canadian, matcha, pumpkin spice, vanilla, peppermint… you name it. And then have all of the milks as well (dairy and non dairy).
In terms of price it’s probably a little cheaper than Starbucks. I pay close to $ 5 for my small almond milk, dirty chai hipster drink. Then again it is Commerce Court so its all relative, right? Mainly I’m grateful to this place for broadening my colleagues horizons and getting them to step out of their daily Starbucks/​Tim Horton’s routine. They are literally and truly obsessed. When do we get our corporate account?

Mos Mos has the best coffee I’ve ever had! Thank god I first came with someone who’s probably the biggest fan of this place because ordering is a little complicated. To break it down: you select your desired cup size by taking a cup, you find the sticker of the type of beverage you want (coffee, cappuccino, latte, tea) and then hand it over to one of the employees.
Be careful when you decide to drop by because when it gets busy, it gets BUSY. Wait a good 20min after the 3pm rush if you wanna save some time.
I’ve had the cappuccino with 1 sugar, and it was so smooth! The baristas sprinkle cocoa or cinnamon powder on top of the foam and create a little latte art with it. The Mango Chai Latte is something special — granted the mango flavour tastes artificial but that’s expected. I asked for ½ sweet and it was already plenty (would recommend doing this). If it bothers you, I found that most of the sweetness bunches up at the bottom despite already being stirred by the baristas.

Got the mango chai latte like everyone else that wrote a review for Mos mos and it was good. I would say despite my reservations of a mango flavored latte, it was delicious and something I would get again. Its a nice pick me up if you don’t want a huge caffeine boost.

I wouldn’t say it’s the best coffee shop downtown but they’re not bad. The store is too small though and there are not too many things on the menu.
Location is convenient since it’s right next to the King subway station. If it’s your first time visiting, you would be confused with all the stickers because there are so options to choose from. I still get confused myself and they are always willing to assist if you are having trouble.
Last time I ordered the Latte and the taste was kinda watered down or I’m just used to strong expresso taste? I’m still addicted to the Vanilla bean latte from Second Cup which is just next door and they have more options!
If you happen to be in the area, you should give it a try although I didn’t get the WOW experience.

No matter where I’m situated in Downtown Toronto, mos mos is my go-​to coffee shop. I usually order the regular coffee — skinny with two milks and one sugar. The best part is the foamy milk that tops the coffee. Personally I like my coffee with a bit of milk, but lattes are a little too milky for me, so this feels perfectly smooth with a bit of foam on top. As you can see from the photos, they also top your coffee with cocoa, whisking it into a pretty flower. Much better than just pouring your own regular milk into a coffee cup!
I’ve also tried their latte and cappuccino which are also top quality. Always strong coffee taste and piping hot. The banana breads are well made, with a wide range of flavours (dark chocolate, double chocolate and lemon poppyseed), as they are always soft and flavourful.
Definitely check out mos mos if you are in the PATH or the Downtown Core, it won’t disappoint!

My favourite coffee downtown, and maybe even in Toronto! I’ve tried some of the other popular coffee shops in the financial district and on Queen West, but find myself going back to Mos Mos again and again.
I’ve had their regular coffee (skinny double), flat white (so smooth!), and cappuccino (my favourite) — they never fail to disappoint. The coffee/​espresso is very aromatic, and the steamed milk (for no extra cost) is the perfect touch. There is quite a bit of foam even with skim milk.
The baristas are also generally very nice and service is fast. They also do cute latte art no matter what drink you order. Overall, Mos Mos to me is an unpretentious place that serves good coffee. Now if they only expanded to a location where one can sit down for a while on a chill weekend afternoon.

Unique coffee shop located just in Commerce Court near the King Station subway exit. I pass by here every day and is always tempted to buy their coffee because not only does it smell good but tastes so good compared to it’s competitors. I’m not usually a coffee drinker but whenever I need a caffeine fix, I come here because it never fails to disapppont. I’ve tried their chai lattes and original coffee and love them both! I swear it must be the froth but it’s just the artistry and craftness of how they make their beverages. Not to mention the amazing service that you receive every time even during peak periods. Highly recommended if you want to try some authentic tasting coffee!

Two words: MANGO CHAI. Honestly it’s the only thing I’ve tried here, but after I got it the first time, I was hooked. It’s just so unique, I honestly don’t think you can find it anywhere else. You would think that maybe the combo of mango and chai would be kind of weird, but somehow it just works, and the end result is a super smooth drink with just a hint of fruity sweetness. Yum! They also make some pretty nice designs on your drink and not even just using milk/​foam like the usual latte art, but using coffee dust or something. And as a bonus, a medium chai latte is only $ 3.50, which is a reasonable price! I really should try other things here (maybe like real coffee? haha) but until I get sick of the mango chai I’ll be drinking one thing here and one thing only.

Interesting little boutique coffee place located in the Path at Commerce Court West. With the tagline «savor the moment», this store definitely attracts many downtown business workers to spend a little moment of their time to savor their coffee.
They have a very interesting and efficient way to take their order. Rather than waiting until the counter to specify the coffee that you want, you can simply use pre-​printed stickers and stick the choice of your coffee to the cup (ranging from small, medium to large). Aside from the usual coffee type (American, espresso, cappuccino), their flagship product seems to be their chai latte. They have a good range of election for chai latte and I tried the mango chai latte. It definitely tastes refreshing compared to the traditional London fog.
I will recommend coffee drinkers to give it a try.

Mos Mos is located in the PATH, near the Commerce Court West food court. It’s a popular location for downtown professionals to grab a quick coffee or snack during work days. However, it’s definitely not your average Tim’s or McD’s coffee. Mos Mos coffee is freshly made and tastes very smooth. They also allow the customer to customize their own drink by choosing milk and sugar options depending on their own preferences. I also tried their Matcha Green Tea latte, it tastes very fresh and delicious!

This is our go to coffee place when we are willing to walk a little further then the nearest Starbucks (which is around every corner). The coffee is excellent and so is the price and presentation. Their house blend is sure to please almost all palate as I prefer my coffee bold while my friends like mild, yet we all love Mos Mos. Do not be intimidated by the sticker system, just read the options (I’m a 4 — two milk 1 sugar ;-P). Highly recommend!

I made this my afternoon coffee stop today, having seen the excellent reviews by other Unilocalers.
To be honest, I don’t see the big deal with Mos Mos. Sure, the «label your own cup» idea is cool, but it’s a solution for a problem that really isn’t a problem, and takes longer to figure out what label to put on your cup than it would to verbally give your order to one of the staff.
I ordered a medium latte which was very reasonably priced at $ 4, and it was made with care by the lovely staff who were very friendly. Although I didn’t try any of the baked goods, they all looked very tasty indeed.
In terms of the coffee itself, I found that although the milk in my latte was steamed to perfection, I found the espresso itself to resemble those awful instant coffee pods you use at work — it just tasted a little on the artificial side.
I’ll definitely drop by to try their brewed coffee as this is usually my preference, so maybe that will be better.

I truly believe this is probably the best coffee you can find in the downtown PATH area. This amazing coffee place is located right next to the King Station inside Commerce Court.
Most of their coffees come with steamed milk (to make an art piece on the coffee), but you can still choose cream if you prefer. For only $ 2.10 for a large coffee, this is by far the best coffee compare to places like Starbucks or McDonald’s which cost around the same price. All their staff are super nice and always have a smile on their face!
On top of their great coffee (I usually do 2 milk and half sugar), I also love their chocolate croissants! They are fresh every morning and run out fast! So if you see one, make sure you grab one to try! (I will upload a picture later) One only negative I want to mention is they don’t accept credit cards for any purchases under $ 5.
If you work in the financial district in downtown Toronto and want a good quality coffee and some snacks for the morning, I highly recommend coming here!
