History

Established in 1978.

Oakham House is a historic building in Toronto, Canada. The house is located at the southwest corner of Gould and Church streets. It was designed by architect William Thomas as his own residence and office and completed in 1848. Today it is the middle of and owned by Ryerson University. The upper level consists of a café used by students and faculty, while the lower level is home to a student pub. The building is also used by the university to hold events and receptions.

The house has a predominately Gothic Revival architectural style. Thomas’ office was located in a wing on Gould Street; however, it was later replaced by an addition to the residential part of the building.

This is my go-to place on campus to eat with a friend or do some work. Food is nice and reasonably priced, and the place is always airy and bright. Service can be a little slow at times, but it’s never bothered me too much and the price is worth it. The man who I think is the owner or manager is very friendly and accommodating, and staff are usually friendly too.

One of Ryerson University on-campus cafes, and it’s a very cozy and comfortable place to chat with friends or get some studying done or to have a meeting. It’s located right within the Student Campus Center and has reasonable pricing. I enjoy their selection of teas and their student breakfast special. :)

STUDENT LOAN SPECIAL BREAKFAST !
I went to Ryerson for 5 years before I discovered this awesome breakfast deal! It is actually called the student loan special breakfast. You get two pieces of toast, eggs, home fries, accompanied by either bacon, sausage, or chicken halal strips, and coffee or tea! It is only available till 11 am.
For all the Ryerson students who have 8am classes, use this as an excuse to make it to school on time or earlier. It does take a little bit of a time to get from when you order it, because it is a small café with a lot of orders so I would recommend going after the morning class.
The sandwiches here always look very fresh and delicious! For all those students who opt for a super clean diet, they have tons of organic snacks!

As a Ryerson student, I come to the Oakham café multiple times a week, and for good reason.
The food is good, and very well priced. The customer service is very friendly and prompt.
The best times to go are either for weekday breakfast (under $ 5 for a two egg breakfast) or the Saturday brunch (try the Hangover Sandwich — it’s delicious).
Great addition to campus with a very pleasant atmosphere.

Work frequently brings me to the Ryerson campus, and I can never resist dropping by this place for a tea and snack on the go!
I’m always a sucker for vegetarian/vegan options, and Oakham House has several! I’m a big fan of their Tofu Buffalo Caeser wrap (with medium sauce), and I always have my fingers crossed that the soup of the day will be vegetarian– they are always so delicious!
The biggest downside is that takeout orders definitely don’t seem to get any priority. I have waited 20 minutes for a breakfast sandwich before! I could fry an egg on the sidewalk faster than that.
