Very reliable place with a good variety of food that is all quite good! Consistency is what makes this place so great along with very kind staff! Great ambiance in the restaurant as well. Highly recommend! read more

Cozy spot near Yonge and bloor! Open all the time with great brunch and all day breakfast options. Portion sizes were HUGE and I liked their coffee. Got pancakes which were the size of a serving plate and it came with some fruit. I think it would have been better with more sides. Dishes are mostly traditional. Looks like a good place for late night eats and regular brunch. read more

Maybe it was a bad day for staff or they're just not good for breakfast/brunch but this place was an atrocity. Food was flavorless. My partner ordered pancakes and didn't get syrup with it. We asked for some syrup, the kid looked at us funny and told us one moment and never came back. I noticed other tables were getting refills on coffee, getting condiments like jam, syrup, etc and we just got ignored. Don't recommend for breakfast. read more

CONSUMER ALERT! Avoid this establishment! Upon finishing our meal we were presented the bill which I promptly paid via debit, adding a 15% tip. Noticing the bill was high (after the fact) I double checked, and sure enough, it stated that they automatically added a 15% tip prior to me adding another. No problem, I'll just ask my server to fix what I assumed was an honest oversight. 'No' I was told, the 15% tip was clearly marked on the bill and there was nothing she could do about it. OK, first of all, if you engage in non-standard practices such as automatically adding 15% to a bill, the least you could do is verbally alert your customer of such, especially when you watch them add the amount a second time. Nope. Secondly, when made aware of such an oversight, you'd think to rectify the situation with as little fuss as possible. Nope. She (and her manager) both doubled down and insisted there was nothing they could about it once the transaction went through (patently false, it's done all the time). They then went so far as to blame me for not paying enough attention to what was on the bill! I assured them that the charges could be reversed and that if they weren't, my bank would reverse the entire amount. Surprise! They suddenly found a way to do so, but not before another group of patrons (who overheard the conversation) declare that this was the 3rd time they alone had witnessed the same disagreement with others! So, clearly not an oversight but a deliberate, predatory and dishonest attempt to bilk customers. Appalling! And they still had the gall to charge me the original tip - which, if I recall correctly, is intended to be a reward for good service and customer satisfaction. They do not deserve anyone's business. read more

I give this restaurant thee stars. I have only eaten at 7 West Cafe once - I ordered it through Doordash. I really loved the taste of the Pasta What? - it was very flavourful, although it was a bit too salty for my taste. I did not like the Rosie Ravioli - it was too creamy and I found the flavour to be quite bland. We got a nice bottle of Les Jamelles Merlot for $20 which was an amazing deal. Three stars read more

They charge u upfront with tips included after 2am. Well, this means they can give u a bad service, and they literally did this to our table and the table next to us! First of all, the restaurant is little expensive and position it as a high end place, which is fine, we r willing to pay for the decoration. But can u image a fancy place with a horrible sever dress code: Jean and sweater? Second, the attitude of the server, where their attention? Keep bringing the wrong order to my table and the other table. The other table has 5 ppl, and she didn't even bother take a note, given she already messed up our 2-person order? I had to wait a long time again to wait for the food. Third, no wonder the server didn't pay too much attention, she had been talking to another waitress all the time. I literally heard the kitchen ppl calling her name 3 times, saying the order is ready, but she kept chatting and finally a guy from the kitchen came out and call her in. Not a fancy service in this fancy restaurant. Last but not least, the server really, really doesn't know the menu, keep giving me wrong information about the menu. And for the other table, basically every time they asked a question, she kept running to kitchen to ask for answers. Oh G. At least she was trying not to give the wrong information after my order. But seriously in a place like this? If this is a normal place, I won't expect this. But this is a place where u bring someone to a date. This service is not worth the price u paid. Objectly speaking, the food quality is just so so compared with other fancy restaurant. Nothing special. Totally ruined my mood. Poor jean and sweater dress code and high price that I can tolerate, but the attitude part is annoyiny. When I told her the order is wrong, she didn't even believe me and she questioned me so I had to bring her memory back. Seriously? Yeah, keep charging upfront after 2am so ur server doesn't even care to work properly. And keep the low end dress code and service bar in ur privacy fancy restaurant. read more

Great staff and extraordinary food. Very comfortable environment with a classic neighbourhood feeling.

Not actually a 24 hour restaurant. When I went for an early breakfast on a Saturday it was closed from 6-7 for cleaning. Same was true of every other 24 hour diner I visited in this part of Toronto. read more

Decent food for a overpriced 24 hour joint, with service very much needs work. We came to 7 west at 2am which was still peak time for the restaurant on a Sunday. We had 2 gentlemen servers who were more focused on speaking to eachother then waiting tables, but we're very polite. THE FOOD: 3/5 Daily soup was cream of mushroom that was strangely enough a bit sour, served with flat bread for some reason? Nachos were amazing, super large platter topped with delicious pulled pork, tomatoes, cheeze, jalapenos was amazing, highly recommend it. The Pasta was okay, first he got my order wrong and served me the wrong pasta and then upon serving the right one the noodles were SO unbelievably short and overcooked it looked like chef boyardee canned noodles. The sauce was also too salty. It was served with bread. THE SERVICE: 2/5 The waiters were nice, but they were so focused on chatting it up behind us (a conversation louder than my table's), we as customers had to come up to hand them our bill. The food came unnervingly slow, almost 20 minutes, and when the food did come it was the wrong order which meant additional time waiting for the right one. At the end even getting the bill took a lot of effort to get their attention. 7 west is great because it runs 24/7, I would still love to come for a drink and nachos one day.... If everything else was closed. read more

This was so good! While slightly expensive overall, prices are pretty standard for pasta ($15-18). I got penne carbonara, which was well cooked and chewy instead of soggy which I appreciate. Flavours were good and light without being bland. The restaurant/cafe has 3 different floors which is pretty nice, and they are open 24/7! Service wasn't fantastic since I did have to wave a couple times to get the waitresses attention despite being one of the only people on that floor. However it wasn't bad service either. I am pretty sure I also came here after Prom since it was the only place open at midnight, so I got major throwback vibes. read more

7 West Cafe - Penne carbonara - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I loved this cafe 3 years ago when I discovered it, and I still love it now. I came here around 11pm the other night for a few drinks and appetizers. I love the atmosphere of this cafe at night. Dimmed lights, candles, such a cosy and relaxing place. There are 3 floors, and the third floor even has a patio. My boyfriend and I ordered the Bruschetta ($11.95). It came with 4 decent sized bread slices with diced tomatoes. It was pretty good, but usually bruschetta has other ingredients like some sort of cheese or balsamic drizzle other than just tomatoes, but it was still yummy. The service here was great. It wasn't too busy, so we went all the way up to the third floor and was told we could sit wherever we wanted. The food and drinks came quickly after we ordered. I definitely recommend this place considering it is open 24/7, and I'll for sure be returning to try more items on the menu! read more

I can't express how much I love this place. Tucked away and almost unnoticeable, you can literally walk passed it. It is three floors, a series of steps only wide enough for one way traffic. Washrooms are no bigger either; unisex, both located on the second floor near the stairs and ATM machine. The dim lighting and tea light candle lit tables offer an intimate dinning. Over head you'll hear a variety of top 40's. Not too loud, not to soft enough for you to enjoy, sing a verse or two and drop back into your group convo. Oh did I mention they are open 7 days a week/365 days a year...24 hrs!!! :0 I introduced my brother and his gf to this venue. We came for a mini celebration. Wohoo! Had some appetizers; poutine (of course) and the bruschetta with cheese added. Enough for 3 to share. Drinks; Manhattan (me, this lady loves her martinis), old fashion, and a French martini (pineapple juice made it a little too fruity for my liking, but still yummy!) Mains; house BLT w/ ceaser salad (I don't recommend the ceaser...I've had wayyyyyy better but does not affect the 5), Sicilian pizza and a veg pizza. All enjoyed with great pleasure. The service was decent, and the waitress was patient with my brother and his gf as they intensely scanned the menu (their 1st time, to be expected) Overall it was a well enjoyed outing. Cheers yelpers and safe long weekend! read more

This was a very nice surprise place. Very nice waiter and decent food. Central in Toronto and open 24 h.

Amazing cakes at 2ams here. They also have a soup of the day wvaries everyday. The hostess is polite and smiling. The tip and surcharge is included the service is amazing and the place is petit, well lit, and cozy. Defiant worth a visit to this establishment. Filling up space to complete this review to post this down as yelp doesn't let me post it thinking this is too short. The cold snowy weather in the city right now is beautifully addictive with skating rinks opening up at every corner of downtown. This serves a good place to come up to after building a hunger /appetite after the work-out. read more

Quaint, cozy, dark spot for brunch on Boxing Day! It was perfect for winter. We looked at all three levels and the first was the coziest. The third level is nice too with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick. Good for larger groups I think. The brunch options were quite good. My friend and I both had eggs Benedict, hers with salmon and mine Florentine. Eggs poached well. Good hollandaise sauce. Comes with fresh fruit and potatoes. We were left alone to chat for the most part which was nice :). Enjoyed our brunch very much. read more

7 West Cafe - First floor decked out for Christmas! - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here on a Thursday night and probably should've expected it to be PACKED on every floor (date night!!!!) We sat in a tight place on the second floor. Was a bit uncomfortable and might've made it harder for good conversations to occur, especially for the couples beside us. My friends and I ordered three poutines. They came out fairly quick and were flavourful. The portion was good and filling. However, as many of my other friends have said, you are paying a lot for mediocre food. It was also really hard to read the menu because of how dark it was. Suggestions -Increase lighting! Or add more lights around the room if tealights are a hazard -More space between tables read more

7 West Cafe - Can you see it? - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The service was good, our waiter was nice and pretty funny. Both of us decided to order the pesto pollo penne (apparently this is a famous dish here). This wasn't the best pasta dish I have tried, meaning I have def. tried better. I feel like it could have been a bit more creamier, and had more meat. One thing I disliked about having dinner here would be that we had to sit all the way on the 3rd floor (yes we went up the stairs), in a small room with several other people. I felt so claustrophobic in there! I wish we could have got seats elsewhere. If so, maybe my view on this restaurant would have been a bit different. Also, we waited around an hour to get a table. read more

Discovered this hidden gem recently. Can't believe such wonderful establishment (24/7) is in my hood and didn't know till now. It's a very low key place, especially with the construction going on yonge st. It can be easily missed. They have a pretty good selection of alcohol. The breakfast menu had only 3 items but so many choices from appetizers pizza pasta and sandwich. We were taking forever to decide but ended up going for the sampler appetizer, Which includes the chvre, humus, bruchetta olives, boccocini cheese and pita. Every thing was delicious. The pita was light with a hint of sweetness. The hummus was smooth and the chvre was a surprise to me- I don't usually like red pepper but whatever they did made this a melt in your mouth yummiest. For dessert we ordered the red velvet cake to share. The cream and chocolate was a good balance. The place has a very cool, casual vibe and the service was fantastic. We will definitely return. read more

It pains me to have to update my review of 7 West because I really did love this place, but my recent experiences have been so bad I can no longer justify my previous 5 star rating. The food quality has remained about the same, hence the 2 stars given, but the service has been absolutely terrible. They have implemented an automatic 18% gratuity to every order, a slap in the face to any customer as the staff are just taking this as an opportunity to not offer good service. During one of my visits, I waited 15 mins at the door before anyone greeted or even acknowledged me. It was a busy night, and about 70% of the tables were filled, but 3 staff members walked right by me several times without so much as a glance or a "I'll be right with you". I had to loudly address a server walking by to ask her if we could have a table for 2, to which she rolled her eyes and then promptly walked away. She did come back eventually, but was clearly very irate and couldn't be bothered with us. Another time I visited at around 3pm, and the place was empty except for one other table. We were seated very quickly but as soon as we got the food, all service stopped. 5 different times I had to stare and work to flag someone down to ask for water, bread, more water, a takeout container, and for another slice of cake to be brought because the one we received was frozen (fork couldn't poke through it). Since there was only one other table, it really wasn't busy, all the staff were just standing and talking behind the bar while occasionally filling takeout orders. All the sit down customers were forgotten about. Our server with the curly hair was really friendly, but so hard to flag down. He didn't charge us the automatic gratuity this time which I appreciated. The blonde girl behind the bar (same one who was extremely rude when I asked for a table) should really consider a career change given how much she appears to hate working there. A couple times food and bread had come out and instead of bringing it out she just stood behind the bar eating bits of bread, cake, whatever, while chatting with someone else. She did not wear her mask (pulled down to her chin), and to my horror after sticking her fingers in her mouth (eating), she proceeded to touch the outside of her mask, and without washing her hands brought my food over. Honestly so disappointed because I have so many good memories of this place, and now they have all been replaced by the bad experiences. The 18% automatic gratuity is extremely insulting given the mediocre service offered by the staff. I don't look forward to returning and will stick with UberEats. Tl;dr Good food with large portions, but service went down the drain. There is an 18% gratuity that is automatically applied to every order (doesn't matter if you're one person or a party of 10), and staff are taking advantage of this to not put in any effort. If you do eat here, expect not to get any service outside of ordering and getting your bill. read more

The place was empty for lunch on a Friday and I know why. Their food is poor quality for the price, and not even the nice decor and location can bring customers in. Lunch price $11.95 for spaghetti + house salad/soup. Sounds like a good deal? That's their most inexpensive pasta option and the spaghetti was worse than store bought sauce. Also, the soup of the day (pea soup) had no other flavour other than a large amount of salt. So imo, not worth it. The 1 star is for their $17.95 lasagna (no lunch option, no house salad) so I thought it must be some bomb ass lasagna asking for almost $20 when all the other pasta lunch options were $12-15. I was very disappointed at first bite to find out the centre was COLD, not warm but cold. I sent it back to be reheated giving their cook a another chance but after a long wait, it came back and the centre was still cold! Okay so I called the server back and complained and he didn't even care about how upset I was with the poor food quality. Now is where I lost appetite of eating here, not only their server did not apologize or offer anything to make up for their poor quality, as I went up the the counter to cancel my order, I saw the cook microwaving the dish! Wow, $20 for cold, microwaved lasagna seriously? Their food is clearly not fresh and their cook does not know how to heat up food properly. Their service suck and food sucks even more. Recommend 7 West to properly train their servers and chef at least up to basic standards. To be fair I might come back for dessert since their cakes looked good but would not come back for food again. read more

7 West Cafe - COLD center lasagna do not get! not worth - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Really cute place! Came here on a Sunday evening and it was decently packed. It's basically a 3-storey house and you can choose which floor you want to be seated at, given that it's not too busy. It is a little squishy though, so probably not a good idea for big groups. The menu is extensive so it took my friends and I quite a while for us to choose our dishes. We ended up getting the nachos platter, which was about $15 but so worth the price because it was huge! There were a variety of toppings (guac included) and we really liked it because it wasn't oily at all. For our mains, we got pastas, a personalized pizza and the omelette (they have all-day breakfast). The penne carbonara, penne chicken and penne arrabiata were all very yummy. All the portions were huge and most of us ended up having to save our food. The only downside is service is a little bit slow. Would recommend this place! read more

I adore this cafe!! It was my shining light! I was in definite need of a super late night meal. No where in site could I find a resto that wasn't a fast food chain or offered anything besides a late night snack menu. Then suddenly I remembered vacantly passing by something about a 24/7 cafe!! Alas a place that offers a full course menu in the wee hours of the morning!!! Its open 24/7 365 days a years!! It's really cute and cozy and has 3 different levels. I was up on the 3rd level. Really great music was playing. It was super dark, thank god for the candle on the table or else I don't think I would have been able to see the menu. All the wait staff here were super friendly, funny, and energetic, which was surprising to see at that hour of the day! With the help of our waiter I decided on the meatball sub - meatballs and tomato sauce on a panino bun. The sandwich consisted of 2 giant but tender and super moist homemade meatballs on a soft toasted bun topped with tomato sauce. I loved that the whole sandwich was soft enough to smush down but still held its shape together really well and I didn't have meatballs popping out or sauce ooozing everywhere. Simply delicious. Although I did wish I had extra sauce to dunk my sandwich in but I just prefer a saucy sub. The sandwich also came with a house salad that was lightly dressed and consisted of romaine lettuce, purple cabbage, red and green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and chick peas. I quite enjoyed all the fresh vegetables in the salad and loved that it contained chickpeas! Finally Dessert! They have an impressive list of homemade cakes. I had to try the Red Velvet and got a Bowl of Cappuccino (you can get a regular cup or bowl) to wash it down. The red velvet cake was sooo moist, probably the moistest red velvet cake I've ever had, the cream cheese frosting was perfect, not too sweet or sour. A flawless cake! Cappuccino came in a huge bowl, good amount of foam, prefect strenghth and was pretty good no complaints here. FYI The bathrooms really are tiny!! It was like they split one already small bathroom into two. I thought it was hilarious but probably not soo much for a larger person. Overall good food, even better desserts, great music, friendly service, and its open 24/7 !!! read more

Surprisingly an okay place for munchies after 2AM where most places are closed. 24 Hours a Day! Everyday. The waitress was very enthusiastic at 3AM in the morning explaining each of the cakes they offered. We tried the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake which was amazing by far one of the best desserts I've had in a while! Also we tried the Belgium Chocolate cake which was too much chocolate in my opinion should've went with the carrot cake choice instead. The Nachos were really appetizing and the sloppy joes mix on top is a must try, even though did not look at good at all but worth it! Overall This place probably one of the better places to dine in to thats open all the time! Cheers! read more

I've been dying to try this place ever since I saw the pictures of desserts on Yelp! I came here on a date on a Friday afternoon. We were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress and we were told to go upstairs. Once we were on the 2nd level, we were told that we can seat ourselves anywhere on the 2nd level or go to the 3rd level/patio area. Obviously we had to see what the 3rd level/patio looked like so we went up the stairs again. Since we did come here in the afternoon, there weren't many people here. I ordered a sloppy Joe with a side salad since I don't think I've ever had one and my boyfriend got a burger with chips. The sloppy Joe and the burger was good and it was about the $10-11 range. I liked the dressing for the salad and it tasted very fresh. I'm not sure if they make their own chips (I don't think they do) but it was good. I'm a dessert lover so of course we had to get desserts. I'm unfortunately came with somebody who has very sensitive teeth so I couldn't get the chocolate cake that I wanted. Instead, we went for the apple crumble with whipped cream. The combination of the whipped cream and the warm apple crumble was delicious (and my boyfriend almost didn't want the whipped cream...fine, it was me who almost caused us to not have whipped cream). People were friendly and food was good for a great price. I'm definitely making this one of my go to place! read more

At 3:30am in the morning, my boyfriend and I had the biggest craving for desserts. We typed into Yelp "dessert" and what came up in the top 10? 7 WEST CAFE! Located a block from Yonge and Bloor this restaurant is conveniently placed within downtown Toronto. Offering a wide range of food, 24 HOURS a day! We sat down on the first level (there are three levels in total) and the atmosphere was like a dimly lit room in a house. (The restaurant itself is a house transformed into a restaurant.) This was my second time at this restaurant and both my experiences were amazing! The first time I order a pasta, it was about a year or two ago, I can't quite remember. But recently when I was in search of dessert, I stumbled upon their Dulce De Leche Cheesecake! It was AMAZINGGGGG! All the reviews on Yelp recommended this dessert and the people of Yelp did not fail me. My boyfriend got their Belgium Chocolate cake. I'm not a huge chocolate cake fan so I didn't enjoy it that much, maybe if I had a glass of milk I would've liked it better. It took me about 5 minutes to gobble down my slice of cake. We also ordered nachos and mac and cheese. They were good, but nothing satisfied my dessert craving like the Dulce De Leche cheesecake. But it might have ignited my feelings to return to the restaurant again.. and again.. for that cheesecake. This is a place everyone needs to check-out! 24-hours and downtown. Give it a try! - CL p.s. the servers were still lively and nice when we arrived. :) read more

One of my go-to 24 hour diners. 7 West is a great spot for coffee, comforting bites, and late-night/early morning conversations. I've been here multiple times for brunch and was here on my birthday.

7 West Cafe - 7 West French Toast with berries - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Located in an old house near U of T, 7 West has a pretty cool atmosphere. The first floor is darker and more romantic-looking, while the top two floors are brighter and better for larger groups. The restaurant is usually full of students and open 24/7, which makes it a great late-night option. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and it was pretty quiet. The menu is pretty broad, offering sandwiches, pasta and pita pizzas. For about $7, you can get a decent bowl of vegetarian chili or Moroccan white bean chili (with pita) - I've had both; they're full of flavour - and good for a light meal. My friend ordered a turkey breast sandwich, but for $12, it wasn't that impressive - deli meat, plain white bun, potato chips - not fries.They also have a brunch menu on weekends - pretty standard bacon, egg, omelette, panckae-type options for around $10. Lastly...... shout outs to the friendly waiter who killed the wasp flying near our table! read more

7 West Cafe - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5/5 Went here a couple of nights ago with some girlfriends, and immediately came back the next day with my boyfriend because I liked it that much. It's the type of place you can go to for drinks, dinner, dessert, brunch, or even just coffee; it's open 24/7 and their menu has a very wide variety of items so it's very flexible in that regard. It's a little hole in the wall near young & Charles that you might miss if you're not actively looking for it. It has 3 floors, and an indoor patio upstairs, and the ambiance is really nice. A very chill place with dim lights, benches, tables, candles, etc. It's the type of place that's really nice to go to on a first date, or when you're with people that you can just chill and talk to/hang out for hours & hours. The food is good, but nothing too special (that I've had, anyway). I've tried the all day breakfast which was good, and my boyfriend has had the lasagna which he also enjoyed. I've also had the "diamond & pearls cheesecake" which I found would have been better if it was not served at room temperature and was chilled a bit more - but maybe that's just my preference . My favorite drink here is the baileys hot chocolate - mmm mmm, can't go wrong there! The service was alright, but definitely the type where if you don't flag down your server when you need him, you may be waiting for a while. If I could rate this on ambience, atmosphere, and convenience alone, this would easily be a 4, however, with the good-but-not-great food & similar service, this is closer to a 3.5. All in all will most certainly be back! read more

The lasagna here is exceptional. The sauce, cheese, meat and perfectly cooked noodles complement each other brilliantly. Not to mention, the portion is tremendous in more ways than one! Great service too. Thanks 7 West! read more

Great spot but they always mess up the orders . Downtown core good selections. Open 24 7

I have been coming here for many years now. Not quite on a regular basis, but definitely every chance I get because it's a good option for late night eats and if I'm in the neighbourhood at any time of day since it's open 24 hours. Three floors to choose from and all with different decor and feel. It's quite eclectic and artsy which suits the service staff there as well. Most are friendly, but service can be slow at times which is quite alright since this is a casual place. So don't come here if you want fine dining and to dine and dash in a hurry. The menu is quite large and will suit every palates. Food taste pretty good, prices are very reasonable and portions are substantial....what more can you ask for? My recent visit I came solely for dessert and a cup of tea. The slice of cake (Belgian Dark Chocolate) was large and very scrumptious. I finished the whole slice including icing on my own since my friend doesn't like sweets (who doesn't like desserts?). Usually I find icing on cakes sometimes too sweet, but this definitely hit the spot and I didn't regret eating every last bite. Overall, a great place to chill at any time of day and the food is pretty good especially desserts. read more

7 West Cafe - Belgian Dark Chocolate Cake $7.50 - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is an amazing little place! It`s not your typical 24/7 eating establishment. Sure, you can hit an all night fast food joint or a breakfast place if you are in a hurry but here you get something else. I can only describe it as a cozy feel. The menu offers everything from pastas to desserts as well as breakfast. To top that off, they have a fine selection of coffees to keep you night owls up later. There is even alcohol if you feel so inclined, at say, 3 am. All reasonably priced. I must say, their dessert selection was impressive. We went for the chocolate banana cake. A nice balance of the two flavours. Only criticism I would have to say is, the icing was a bit too sweet but that is just a personal preference. I would like to try their other offerings like the apple crumble pie. Staff were wonderful! Very helpful in sharing their point of view on what was palatable. I really appreciate that you can sit here for however long and not feel as if you should leave. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! AMAZING FOOD, OPEN 24/7, FANTASTIC SERVICE! What more can you ask for? A few friends and I went there at 3 in the morning after a night out. Promptly greeted at the front door and given a table upstairs. We were all hungry but didn't know exactly what we wanted so we decided to get a bunch of dishes and just share them. We got a Greek Salad, a pepperoni pizza, a Poutine, their Mac & Cheese and for dessert their triple chocolate cake and red velvet cake. Their food is spectacular! Come with a bunch of your friends and order whatever you want. I promise you will NOT be disappointed! read more

they have scented candle burning, in my opinion this is inappropriate for a restaurant. We were a group of 9, everything was just ok.

Cute little Cafe : ) This place is really adorable and serves pretty good food. A guy took me here on a date and I have to say I had such a great experience with the ambiance and the food that I came back and took my roommate, my good friend from out of town and my two sisters haha It's a really artsy style cafe with artsy fartsy servers livening up the place with their cool personalities. The cafe is pretty small so it'd be hard to accommodate a large group of people but if the restaurant gets crowded, don't worry there are three floors just in case. It's very laid-back and friendly, and just a cool restaurant to visit. I came here and ordered mainly the pastas, burgers, and the cakes. The sauces for the pastas are really yummy (I would recommend the penne pastas). I had a burger two times in a row because it's just so darn delicious : p It comes with a refreshing house salad which is undoubtedly one of the best salads I've had in my life and I have to say it's tossed with pieces of bell peppers in them...I hate bell peppers but 7 West Cafe makes it work! You also have the option of adding aged cheese for $3 more which I said "what the hey, why not" and it made the burger 100x more delicious : ) Lastly, don't get me started on the desserts....my roommate ordered a slice of cake, sadly I forgot the name but, I only took half a teaspoon full of the cake (cause I didn't wanna be a moocher) but DAMN it tasted soooo good. I was literally dying in my chair watching her eat the rest of it. : p The environment is relaxed and friendly, the food is OH-SO-DELCIOUS, and the servers are like these cool people you wish were you're friends : p The only reason I gave 7 West Cafe a 4 out of 5 stars was because the prices are pretty expensive which, for a student, isn't the best thing. BUT whenever I do have a bit of extra spending money, I always make sure to come back again : ) read more

7 West Cafe - Lasagna love : ) - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

I went here for a work lunch a few weeks back. I usually love places like this and keep them in my back pocket when I'm looking for a place to eat but I just couldn't fall in love with it. We waited for just under an hour for our mains and it just wasn't worth it (That is pretty much the only thing that would have saved our trip out). The staff was friendly but it just took too long for them to execute a mediocre meal. There really isn't anything wrong here, it's just that I've definitely had MUCH better. read more

I went there twice. The second time was only to confirm if it really was that bad and yes it was. Service was terrible. I waited to be greeted. I waited to be seated. Waited to be given menus and had to wait even longer to have our orders taken. Didn't see my water anywhere in sight after having asked for it se time ago. The staff is not friendly but maybe they are going for some hipster vibe which I don't get as there were only 2 young ladies working there. Asked for a something in my mail to be substituted. She suggested soup as a replacement. When I asked what kind, she said it was canned soup. It definitely was from a tin which I could have had at home. Second round: just don't even ask. I confirm I will not return. read more

It only gets the 3rd star cuz its open 24 hours, that's it. Overpriced standard-fare food in a dark, dingey restaurant with crowded seating. Did I mention it is incredibly over-priced for the lack of originality a joint like this SHOULD have as a downtown eatery? read more

7 West Cafe - Spicy italian sausage penne - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We went for dinner, and it left me feeling quite unsatisfied. We started with the platter, which was a good size, but was loaded with tomatoes of all varieties, sundried, stewed with goat's cheese, chopped up topped on bread with cheese. The tomato theme continued with my sister's penne arrabiata, where the sausage was merely a side to a too-tomatoey pasta dish. My bacon mushroom burger was dry and under seasoned, though it was loaded with bacon and the bread was wonderfully chewy . My husband's chicken club, which fell apart as soon as he took the toothpick out, was a thick and poorly marinated chicken breast atop thick slices of toast with a few good slices of bacon, and accompanied by Ms. Vickie's salted kettle chips. The dessert is another story- this is something you must have. Their red velvet cake was moist, and evenly layered with a good spread of cream cheese frosting that made me gluttonous. I wouldn't go here again for the food, maybe just the cake... read more

7 West Cafe - The bacon mushroom burger - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been to 7 west several times and they've all been decent. The food portions are large and the flavors are generally good, but I find that the dishes are usually very salty. Today we ordered the penne arrabiata and a pepperoni pizza. The penne dish was flavourful and spicy but a bit too salty for my taste. The pizza was just okay but my partner liked the addition of basil in the pizza. I like the overall decor of the place, it's very cozy and intimate. Of course it is also nice that they are always open. I came here once on Christmas eve and it was so cute and nicely decorated with Christmas lights. I think this a good place for a date or a night out with friends. The prices are reasonable and the ambience is very nice, the food is more on the "just okay" side. read more
