5 Best Embroidery Shops in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

You want a logo stitched onto a hat, not printed on a shirt, and those are two very different crafts. Only two of the five embroidery shops in Toronto on this page actually list needle embroidery as a named service, the rest lean on screen printing or DTF transfers, and one shop alone carries more Google reviews (2,280) than the other four combined.

Short answer: Only two of these five, Brimz Hat Boutique and Digitime Signs & Custom Tees, actually list embroidery as a named service. Toronto Tees leads the overall list order at 4.9 stars across 2,280 reviews, but it's a screen-printing and DTF shop, not an embroidery specialist, so we've flagged that upfront. Brimz (4.9 stars, 214 reviews) is the clearest fit if a stitched logo on a hat is what you actually need.

Toronto Tees Custom Printed T-shirts and Apparel

4.92,280 Google reviews

Toronto Tees prints custom t-shirts and apparel from a Yonge Street shop, and it's built around screen printing and DTF (direct-to-film) transfers rather than needle-and-thread embroidery specifically. The shop handles everything from bulk team orders to single walk-in prints done on the spot in 5 to 10 minutes, plus an online designer tool for remote orders. It's worth knowing upfront that if you specifically need embroidered logos on hats or polos, this is a printing shop first, not an embroidery studio.

What people praise

  • Reviewers praise fast turnaround on rush jobs, including same-day walk-in prints with no appointment needed
  • Staff get named individually, Kyle, Tom, and Cara, for patient design reviews before anything goes to print
  • The shop honored a quoted price even after a pricing misunderstanding, a detail one reviewer specifically credits
  • It's flexible enough to handle both small custom orders and larger group or event runs

Worth knowing

  • This is a screen-printing and DTF shop, not a dedicated embroidery studio, so ask specifically if you need thread embroidery rather than a printed design

Our take: Toronto Tees ranks #1 here on a strong 4.9-star average and the highest review volume of the five, but it's worth knowing it's primarily a printing shop. Brimz and Digitime further down this list are the closer fit if embroidery specifically is what you're after.

MY DOPE TEE | MyDopeTee.com

5.0219 Google reviews

MY DOPE TEE is a custom apparel shop on Adelaide Street West, run by owner Matthew, focused on printed and heat-applied designs on t-shirts, hoodies, and hats rather than needle embroidery. Reviewers describe everything from band merch turned around in about a week to a burnt-off decal on a favorite hoodie being carefully recreated and reapplied. It's a small, owner-run operation, which shows up in how personally reviewers describe the service.

What people praise

  • Matthew gets named in nearly every review for responsive communication and hands-on involvement in every order
  • A damaged decal on a favorite hoodie got carefully removed and digitally recreated rather than just replaced
  • Rush band merch turned around in about a week, a tight timeline reviewers call rare in the industry
  • Customers describe the process as far less stressful than ordering merch online sight unseen

Worth knowing

  • This shop works with decals and printed designs rather than thread embroidery, so it's not the fit if you specifically want a stitched logo

Our take: MY DOPE TEE posts a perfect 5.0-star average, small but consistent, and Matthew's hands-on approach is the clear draw if you want a custom design handled personally rather than dropped off and picked up later.

Brimz Hat Boutique

4.9214 Google reviews

Brimz Hat Boutique in Kensington Market is a genuine embroidery specialist, run by Dameion with Yoko-san, built specifically around custom-embroidered hats and caps. The shop handles the whole process in-house, digitizing a logo, embroidering it onto a chosen hat, and finishing the piece, rather than outsourcing the stitching elsewhere. Reviewers describe a boutique with its own artistic, curated space, alongside a full retail selection of berets, snapbacks, bucket hats, and fedoras.

What people praise

  • Custom company-logo embroidery on a batch of mixed hat styles came back exceeding expectations, according to a detailed corporate order review
  • Dameion and Yoko-san are named directly and repeatedly for taking time with customers even when the shop is busy
  • The shop handles digitizing in-house, meaning a logo can go from photo to stitched hat without a separate vendor
  • Color-matching for a specific reference photo, like a particular shade of brown, gets called out as accurate

Our take: Brimz posts a 4.9-star average and is the only business on this list built specifically around embroidery as its core service, the clear pick if a stitched logo on a hat is exactly what you need.

EweKnit & Craft

4.3394 Google reviews

EweKnit & Craft is a Bloor Street craft store selling yarn, fabric, and needlework supplies, including embroidery floss, kits, and patterns, rather than offering embroidery as a finishing service. It's a supply shop for people doing their own needlework, knitting, crochet, sashiko, and punch needle projects, alongside a selection of classes. It's worth knowing upfront that this is a place to buy materials and learn a craft, not somewhere to send a garment to get logo embroidery done.

What people praise

  • The Valdani and Sajou thread selection gets specifically praised as rare to find elsewhere in Toronto
  • The store layout is repeatedly described as beautifully organized, with samples displayed to show finished projects
  • A wide range of needlework categories are covered under one roof, embroidery, knitting, crochet, and felting supplies
  • The shop is credited with a genuinely welcoming vibe for newer crafters looking for guidance

Worth knowing

  • Prices run higher than some other retailers for the same yarn or thread brands, according to a couple of reviewers
  • This is a supply and craft store, not an embroidery service, so it won't do finished embroidery work for you

Digitime Signs & Custom Tees

4.7124 Google reviews

Digitime Signs & Custom Tees on Queen Street West covers apparel printing, embroidery, signage, and DTF transfers under one roof, with more than 20 years in the print industry according to the shop. It's built for fast, same-day custom orders, reviewers describe mock-ups turned around within 20 minutes and finished shirts ready shortly after approval. Staff member Hozay gets named across nearly every review for handling both simple and unusually complicated custom orders.

What people praise

  • A last-minute mock-up and finished, double-sided printed shirt got done within about 30 minutes total, according to one reviewer
  • Hozay gets credited by a two-year repeat client for consistently matching exact brand colors on every order
  • A complicated order that several other print shops turned down got completed successfully here
  • Online payment and ordering make it easy to place a rush order without visiting in person

Our take: Digitime rounds out the list with a solid 4.7-star average, and along with Brimz it's one of the two businesses here that actually lists embroidery as a named service, worth a call if Brimz's hat focus doesn't fit your project.

Watch: 5 Best Embroidery Shops in Toronto (2026)

How we scored these

Every score comes from live Google data, the star rating is each business’s current average, review volume shows how many customers actually rated them, and confidence weighs the two together so a handful of five-star reviews doesn’t outrank thousands of real ones. Recency checks how fresh those reviews are. No business can pay to change these numbers, the only thing money buys on this page is a Featured Partner badge, and none of these five have it.

What custom embroidery and printing cost in Toronto (2026)

None of the five shops here publish a flat embroidery or print price list. Costs depend heavily on garment type, design complexity, digitizing needs, and order quantity, so ask each shop for a specific quote rather than expecting a fixed rate.

Custom apparel and embroidery across downtown Toronto

These five spread across downtown, from Yonge Street and Adelaide Street West through Kensington Market, Bloor Street West, and Queen Street West. If you’re searching for embroidery near me anywhere between the Annex and the Entertainment District, at least one of these five is a short trip away.

What to ask before ordering custom embroidery

  • Does this shop actually do thread embroidery, or is it screen printing, DTF, or a heat-applied decal?
  • Is there a digitizing fee for a new logo, or is that included in the price?
  • What’s the minimum order quantity, and does a single item cost more per piece?
  • How long is the turnaround for a rush order versus a standard one?
  • Can they match a specific brand color exactly, and how do they confirm it before production?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, ratings, review volume, and recency. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position. None of these five are Featured Partners.

How did you choose these five?

We pulled Toronto businesses matching an embroidery search with a meaningful number of Google reviews, then ranked them by a blend of rating, review volume, and how recently reviews are coming in.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this data in July 2026 and revisit it periodically, so ratings and review counts reflect a live snapshot.

Which of these actually does embroidery, not just printing?

Brimz Hat Boutique and Digitime Signs & Custom Tees both list embroidery as a named service. Toronto Tees and MY DOPE TEE focus on screen printing, DTF, and decals instead.

Where can I buy embroidery supplies to do it myself?

EweKnit & Craft on Bloor Street West sells embroidery floss, kits, and patterns, along with classes, though it doesn’t offer embroidery as a finishing service.

The bottom line

If you specifically need a stitched logo on a hat, Brimz Hat Boutique is the safe default and the only shop here built entirely around embroidery. For general custom apparel with embroidery as one option among several, Digitime is worth a call, just confirm with any shop upfront whether you’re getting thread embroidery or a printed design.
