A cafe made for getting work done
Finding a cafe with wifi in Etobicoke that actually works for a full day of laptop time is harder than it sounds. Cafe 295 is built for it. We sit on the 7th floor at 295 The West Mall, inside the Jilani Place co working space, so fast wifi and real seating come with the coffee, not as an afterthought.
The room is set up for people who are actually working, not just passing through. Small round tables for a laptop and a cup, light wood chairs, tan leather lounge seating if you want to sink in for a couple of hours, and banquette seating along the wall for anyone who needs more room to spread out. Floor to ceiling windows keep the space bright with a skyline view instead of a blank wall in front of your screen.
Because we are part of Jilani Place, the wifi is the same connection the building's coworking members use, not a shared guest network that slows to a crawl by 11 am. The espresso bar keeps moving fast enough that a coffee run between calls actually takes about 30 seconds, the way office workers who already work here describe it.
Order at the counter or check our full menu ahead of time, then settle in. Matcha lattes whisked fresh with a bamboo whisk, espresso pulled to order, and a bakery case that turns over daily if you need a mid afternoon reset. Free validated parking comes with any purchase too, so if you drove in for a work session, scan the QR code at the counter for today's exit code before you leave.
If your team needs more than a table, we also handle office catering for meetings right here at Jilani Place. But for a solo work session or a coffee with a coworker, just come up to the 7th floor, find a seat, and get on with your day. A sip above the usual laptop cafe.
