Zaza Espresso Bar

Rated this place:

75 Yorkville Ave, Toronto, ON

Title: This newly opened bar has the best Italian coffee ever! Forget Starbuck's fake lattes, espressos and cappuccinos! Zaza is the real deal when it comes to authentic Italian coffee. The bar is small and cozy. The owner, Raffaele, is from Naples and is just amazing with customers!! He will greet you when you come and when you leave and remembers you when you go back! I heart Zaza!
