    Iced matcha latte and iced latte
    Cin C.

    As a non-coffee drinker, I don't pay attention to cafes as much but the Arabica hype can't be ignored. Was glad they had matcha options and I really enjoyed their iced matcha latte. Had a sip of their coffee latte and actually enjoyed the lighter delicate coffee flavor. Yorkdale location has a row of small seats along the wall, which is the perfect place to ppl watch as there is a constant stream of patrons going in and out. Will try their icecream next time.

    Ordered the coffee Ice Cream and Matcha latte. I absolutely loved the soft-serve and the coffee flavor was amazing. You can taste a deep rich coffee flavor. In contrast, the matcha Latte was not as strong as I would expect. Ambiance was was nice but it is a very tight space being next to the entrance doors. Service was fast and the staff are friendly.

    Needless to say, their coffee drinks are delicious. But there's still a long line pretty much every time I go or even just walk by... That said, their service has gotten a bit better -- food and drinks come out a lot quicker now! They seem to rotate their food items and soft serve flavors, which is fun. I highly recommend the soft serve -- both matcha and espresso flavours are seriously good. Not too sweet at all!! Just really smooth and flavourful Also the bright and airy interior? Totally helps wake me up again ;)

    The coffee ice cream was some of the best ice cream we've had. Its super creamy with perfect soft serve texture. It made for a nice refreshing pick me up. The iced matcha latte had great colour and was creamy. With a little sugar, it made for a great mid day pick me up. We'd definitely come back for the ice cream alone. That was the winner for us!

    Due to it being in such a busy mall, you can always expect a long line at Arabica Yorkdale, especially during peak hours. The space itself is smaller compared to other locations, like the Union one, so it can get crowded quickly. I've visited a few times and tried the hot and cold matcha lattes, which were quite enjoyable. However, I was underwhelmed by the sparkling lemonade; it tasted like watered-down syrup and didn't stand out. The service here is fairly average, and while the staff is usually polite, the atmosphere could be improved. The interior is bright and airy, with some branded merchandise on display. Overall, I'd give this location a 3.5 rating.

    3.5 - The two times I have been here had super long lines. What I noticed was that all the staff was wearing the same color and then the next time they all wore another color? I was confused but impressed haha. The ordering is on the left side of the store and then the waiting is anywhere else. I found it a bit awkward because there isn't a lot of space to stand, so when it got too crowded, I just waited outside the store. I have tried several of their drinks such as the matcha, Kyoto and Spanish latte. All were good but expensive in my opinion. Neat that they have their own line of merch (even shoes!) as well.

    Matcha soft serve. Large size.

    Compared to other locations of % Arabica, this location appears to be a bit more crowded with the lineup almost always extending out the door and needing to wait ~ 20+ for your order. People seem to not mind the wait and for the most part are okay to wait. The staff are knowledgeable and polite. The mirror behind the counter definitely makes the space look bigger. Most recently I noticed someone walking out with a matcha soft serve and added this to my order... this might be the trick to making the wait for your drink more bearable. The soft serve was delicious, matcha notes and consistency hitting just right.

    The coffee shop has a beautiful, calm atmosphere with an amazing layout--tall ceilings, great aesthetics, and a really nice setup overall. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and it's conveniently located near one of the mall entrances. My matcha drink tasted good, though it wasn't mixed properly when we got it. Still, a great spot to relax and enjoy a coffee while shopping!

    Finally got to try their Matcha ice cream! The matcha flavour was rich and authentic, but the sweetness level was a bit overwhelming to me. A little less sugar would have allowed the matcha notes to shine even more. Service was efficient and friendly. The layout of this location is quite similar to the one at Union - clean, modern, and well-organized. Overall it's a good spot for matcha lovers, though a tweak in sweetness would make it perfect.

    They have a good selection of coffee (black), latte and cappuccino. They offer non-dairy options or sugar-free options upon request. The prices start from 6.95+tax for small latte. They also sell coffee beans, croissants and desserts. The store is environmentally friendly and all their utensils are recyclable. The lineup to order and pick up your order could be very lengthy at times.

    Busy coffee store with lines out the door but it's fast moving. For the quality it was worth the extra few dollars. A small Americano and a medium cold Spanish coffee came up to $13 + tips. A small handful of seats to sit on while waiting for your coffee but definitely not a place to hang out. A small variety of pastries and matcha ice cream are available as well.

    One of my favourite spots to hit my coffee craving whenever I'm in the Yorkdale area! This chain had opened from Japan and it's been a huge hit since it landed in TO! I love their aesthetics and how they designed the coffee shop. it only occupies a corner of the mall. The mirrors actually make it look bigger and I love how the top it looks like the coffee beans are in round circle. Very neat design! I love how their Spanish and Kyoto lattes are not too sweet and yet aromatic. Their lattes are smooooth no kidding. Drinks like a dream and perfect level of sweetness. Their matcha soft serve is another one of my fav and must get. A huge cup of ice cream like that for $8. The matcha they use is quite delicious staff are always friendly despite most times being so busy they always have a smile on their face! They also have a variety of beautiful coffee beans to choose to take home! They roast their beans in house so it's always super fresh!! If you're craving for some treats you will not be disappointed... coz they are provided by @duo.patisserie ! I love their pastries and sandwiches and do sell out during the day at times! If you're ever at Yorkdale go check it out! They also have a location downtown at front street as well!

    3.5 Came on a weekday during the early afternoon and it was still quite busy! We waited approximately 15-20 minutes to order and then another 10 ish minutes to receive our drinks. There are a few seats/benches around the interior of the shop to sit and wait for your order or to drink it too. Service was pretty good, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a hot matcha latte and the quality of matcha was good, quite comparable to the matcha lattes I have had in Japan.

    So I love coffee. This was not great coffee. Too sour for my liking. Maybe it was just a bad day or new staff.
