Oakwood Espresso

The owner started out installing and fixing espresso machines — so he knows his equipment. My espresso was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Part of my morning ritual, stop in grab a fantastiv coffee and shot the shit with Tony before i head to the office… love it.

When getting Coffee in the morning from an espresso establishment part of the experience is the interaction with staff. Interacting with employees (and in this case the owner) that are passionate about Coffee or Tea and seem to like their job can put a smile on your face even before consuming any beverage.
I don’t know the proprietor’s name but he’s clearly passionate about Coffee and REALLY skilled at making espressos, macchiatos, cappuccinos etc. They taste delicious, prices are low and he’s generous with the shots. Aside from more space what more can you ask for?

First visit on 05/​23/​2015 and was greatly impressed. Great service with every customer made to feel special. I had a drip coffee and it was delicious. Will definitely be back. I understand they get their baked goods from «Baker and Scone» on St. Clair, so you know they’re quality.

This is a lovely place with great coffee. It’s small, so don’t plan on lingering too long with your coffee, but the owner is very personable and makes you feel welcome. I hope that this place excels.

Great neighbourhood atmosphere, nice baked goodies, great shots and amazing foamed milk. Try a cortado.

Last time I worked in this area, there was absolutely nothing in regards to getting yourself a good cup of coffee let alone a espresso latte. Today I come back to discover a new estabalishment has opened! Oakwood Espresso is quaint, and if you were walking from the opposite direction of the street it was on you would’ve missed it. Going inside I discovered it was very well decorated with it’s hint of vintage rustic charm, there are old photographs hanging on the walls, & walking canes inside etc. The owner is super nice and welcoming, like you were a guest in his home. I ordered a iced mocha with almond milk, he offers lots of various choices of milk alternatives along with your usual espresso drink menu and freshly baked goods. I can tell this place is going to have a very loyal following, considering the area lacking in quality cafes. There is not a lot of seating, however it would be nice to see them bring in some patio furniture outside for people to enjoy their coffee/​espresso drinks. It would bring a lot more attention and life to the shop to see more customers sitting and having a relaxing time. I will definitely be back!

Great addition to the neighborhood. Great coffee and treats. I see myself being a regular. #oakwoodvillage

An outstanding addition to the neighbourhood. A perfect macchiato, made by a true coffee culture advocate. Fixes espresso machines too. Bravissimo!

Such a lovely space in Oakwood Village! Tony has created a warm, welcoming, cozy spot to enjoy your favourite hit of caffeine. Enjoy the incredible double shot cortado along with some down to earth conversation with the host.

Finally! This place has the best coffee around for miles. Tony is a master barista. Welcome to the neighborhood Oakwood Espresso. You have set a new high bar for quality, class and service in the area. Long may your caffeine run through my veins.

True espresso based coffee has arrived in Oakwood Village!
I can’t lie. I’m not going to walk past too many places before I have my coffee in the morning. I need it dammit, but since I’ve moved up the Village I’ve been drinking a lot of so so coffee, some may even say bad coffees.
Well my prayers have been answered. Oakwood Espresso has opened and given me a new focus for my morning walks. Its a pretty store, bench outside, tucked just off Oakwood Avenue across from the library. Inside is dominated by a big marble topped counter and a gleaming espresso machine.
I had one of their cappuccinos and my wife had a latte. Both were excellent! I would have taken a pastry but they were all out by 10:30. A good sign I think.
Service was great, really enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to repeats. Be sure to ask for one of their loyalty cards. Buy 9 coffees get the 10^th free.
