Well maintained historical high school building has been converted Into coffee house. There's a beautiful statue of dancers at front. It's the fusion of classical and modern. In hot summer, sitting on the patio and having a cup of coffee, how comfortable it is.

Went on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a latte and cookie. Staff were super friendly and my drink came with a small biscuit which was a very pleasant surprise. Both drink and cookie were great and patio was nice and spacious.

A beautiful coffee shop in an amazing building. There are not many visible signs but it is located near Richmond hill center for performing arts.
I had a piece of banana loaf which was delicious and there are art works on the walls that make the place beautiful and you can buy them if you like. Also there are books to read if you like to spend some quiet time reading.

Covernotes is my sanctuary. I come here to study, to relax, or to meet people and socialize.
They have a variety of options for drinks, and different types of tea.
Cakes and desserts are fresh and some toasts and sandwiches are served as well.
I recommend Covernotes to anyone who's looking for a place to go regularly.

One of the best coffee shops in the area. You feel like you’re in downtown Toronto.
Great for group gatherings and you can hang out here without any pressure to rush and leave.
The large collection of books from floor to ceiling makes it cozy and feels like home. Great variety of teas, vegan treats and sandwiches/wraps.
