With its vinyl-spinning soundtrack, vintage signage, and effortlessly laid-back vibe, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger. Offering a mix of American comfort food, fresh pastries, and expertly crafted coffees, it’s a favorite local haunt just a short walk from some of Toronto’s most popular live music venues.

It’s all about location and atmosphere. Nestled right on Ossington, Please and Thank You is just minutes from several intimate venues—perfect for a quick bite before the show or a mellow post-concert wind-down. The music-themed décor and curated playlists make it feel like an extension of the night’s entertainment.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to fuel up before the show

What People Say

Guests rave about the chill vibe, friendly staff, and consistently great coffee and baked goods. The grilled cheese is a surprise hit, and many reviewers love the nostalgic decor and how it adds to the experience. The playlist often gets a shout-out for setting the perfect tone before heading to a gig. It’s also praised for being a relaxed, unpretentious place to hang out.

Areas for Improvement

While the space has charm, it’s on the smaller side, so seating can be limited during peak hours. Some diners noted that the menu is more café than full-service restaurant, so it’s better for a light meal or snack than a full dinner. But for concert-goers, that often hits the sweet spot.

The Bottom Line

Please and Thank You is a stylish, music-loving café that hits the right note for concert-goers looking for a casual, quick and tasty stop near Toronto’s top music venues.
