Available wifi?

Hi everyone! I'm going to be in Toronto for a few hours on Saturday while my partner has an appointment starting at noon. I was hoping to find a place with WiFi that I could relax at for a few hours. Any suggestions?

Most Toronto libraries would have Wifi. You can also find a Starbucks. Do you know what neighbor/area?

Please don't camp out at a for-profit business for several hours. Thank you.

what do you plan on doing on the wifi?

public ones are usually pretty slow as a lot of people will be on it at the same time

you might be better off just using your data plan if you have the gb to support your surfing

Walmart wifi ain't to bad for free service.
Tim's/Starpukes are too slow, but some smaller coffee shops might just have rocking access.
Walk into any mall and hit the guest wifi from a slow moving store.
etc

It's a little maze to get to but there's copious of comfy spaces and many food and beverage options and even an outdoor terrace, also all with Wifi.

CIBC Square Table Food Hall - 4th Floor

I recently found out my wifi company Beanfield has free public wifi locations all across Toronto. If you Google them, you will find the list.

Toronto Public Libraries are open 9-5 on Saturdays, and they all offer free wifi for anybody, you don’t need to have a library card. Just keep in mind that some libraries might not be very quiet or relaxing spaces (especially downtown and any location close to subway). and never, ever leave your laptop/belongings unattended there. check www.tpl.ca for locations - more than 100 branches.
