I tried this place for the first time and I was definitely blown away. I was drawn to the simple and minimalist aesthetic, it was nice and clean in there. Although a little busy, there were many places to sit. Ordering was fairly simple, I wanted to try a bunch of things on their menu but I just picked the Cafe Latte with oat milk. I chose the smallest size and was astounded to see that my latte was over $8. I swore I got the 9 ounce, like as in single digit 9, and it was $8.76? This had to be the most expensive latte I've ever ordered in all of Canada. I will say though, that was the smoothest latte I've had in a while. Their roast is amazing, the oat milk complemented the espresso so well. It was so smooth yet rich. That was an incredible latte and the barista that made it did a phenomenal job. You really do pay for the quality. My latte did take a little bit more time coming out compared to the other orders, but it was most likely because of the oat milk and how it was prepared. Other than that, service was friendly and fast, depending on what you ordered. That being said, 5/5 stars is "that was extraordinary, I'll spend my paycheck here every time without regrets". So it's going to be a 4.3/5 because I will always look at this place and think about how expensive a small 9 ounce latte is. I'm pretty much paying close to $1 per ounce. So paying that much for a 9 ounce latte? In this economy? I would recommend this place to anyone but not as an everyday cup of coffee. Would I come back? Absolutely, but sparingly. read more

First time I visited this shop after I pass-by so many times. At 8am Friday, there is no lineup. Right after I finished the order, there were at least 20 people in the line with 1 cashier. I ordered Americano for 4 oz with oak milk. 4 oz is like kids size in star bucks. It costs close to $6 . With that cost, I have high expectation. While waiting for my coffee, this place is big and clean with not much seat. There is high bar seating mainly. After a minute of wait, I got my coffee the coffee is smooth but bland, So disappointed....... read more

Arabica is conveniently located inside Union Station. The design is minimal and bright; there is plenty of high top seating throughout the cafe. I ordered the Kyoto Latte - it was delicious with a rich and sweet flavour (even though I did not add sugar). The service was quick, especially for 9am in the morning. I docked one star as the latte, which is about 8oz, costs over $7 which is quite expensive. read more

I just can't resist stopping by Arabica for an espresso macchiato every time I arrive downtown from Markham. The café is bright, inviting, and surprisingly spacious--there's always seating available, which makes it a perfect pause before heading out. Service is consistently fast and efficient, with drinks ready in about 5-10 minutes. My macchiato is always spot-on. Nothing beats that caffeine boost to kick off my downtown adventures. Arabica has become my go-to ritual at Union Station. read more

I got an iced Kyoto latte that was extremely overpriced ($8.48). Sure, it was better than your average Starbucks latte, but it was nothing special compared to the other local espresso specialty cafes. The service was quite rude (both the baristas and the cashier). Not recommended. read more

Went here for a quick drink, the atmosphere of the cafe was amazing, i liked the theme. The matcha latte on the other hand was quite disappointing, i had high expectations going into it, especially when it was $8. It tasted like super low quality watered down matcha with high sugar content. I personally wouldn't recommend the drink. read more

I love everything about Arabica. Their coffee, matcha, and soft serve are all so good! The drinks are on the creamy side, which I really enjoy. I like stopping by whenever I'm in the area, though I only visit occasionally since the drinks can be quite pricey. The interior feels bright and open with its fully white design. There's limited seating along the side, it was probably designed as a quick grab and go. read more

Arabica - Kyoto latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'd been curious about Arabica for a while, so when I happened to find myself in Union Station on a chilly February morning, I knew I had to pop in for a cup of joe. The place was quite packed when I walked in, so I was worried the wait would be u reasonable. But it was about a 10 minute wait from the time I ordered my coffee to when I got it, so clearly they know what they're doing. I wound up trying the Kyoto Latte ("Uses the % Arabica Single Origin as its base, paired with a little condensed milk, giving it a hint of sweetness, stronger aromatics, and a richer body"), and I also got a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. It's great coffee. I was really impressed by its smooth, rich flavor. The coffee flavor was fairly subtle, at least compared to other store-bought coffees I've had, but it's just addictively drinkable. The cookie was fine, but it's the coffee that's the big attraction here. I'm curious to try some of their other offerings. read more

Tried arabica for the first time. I got the cafe latte, it was pretty good, nothing special tho. Thankfully there wasn't a line so I didn't have to wait, but a line formed after getting my coffee.

This location is conveniently situated by the entrance of the Bay St Promenade of the Union Retail area right in front of Union subway station. It's great for making a quick stop before and after your commute. I haven't tried their coffees, but personally think they serve one of the better matcha lattes in the city, and would purchase one whenever I pass by. The staff here are friendly, but the service is pretty average. The Union Station location is quite spacious complementing its modern, bright and airy decor. read more

Despite passing by Arabica so many times at Union, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I was looking for a small dessert right before a concert and this seemed to be a good option. The menu is a bit limited to mostly drinks as it is more of a grab and go type of location with limited seating. However they did have the matcha soft serve! Matcha Soft Serve: I got the regular size and it was the perfect portion. The soft serve was the perfect amount of matcha flavour and creaminess. Overall, I would come back again to try out their drinks. The matcha soft serve pleasantly surprised me with how amazing it was! read more

A pretty convenient location in Union, was very happy that it wasn't busy. I didn't try the coffee but a friend said this was probably one of the best drinks she had! The soft serve was the perfect amount, wished they had matcha at the time though. Will try and go back and get one of their drinks next time read more

They're conveniently located the north entrance of Union Station, so it's a perfect spot to grab your morning coffee on the way out, unless there's a huge lineup. 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. read more

Lots of seating area , surprisingly not occupied! Good coffee, but pricey, their matcha canele was quite good as well.

Not bad but also not my favourite place for matcha latte. The matcha soft serve is really good though! The place sometimes has long lineups.

Amazing spot for coffee. I've tried the Kyoto, Spanish, and they had a maple while I was in Toronto. All were great, but my favorite was the Kyoto. Also, try the soft serve! They had the coffee one when I was there and it was delicious. read more

The smell pulled us in. The streamlined simplicity peeked our curiosity. The taste wowed us and invited us back. I wished my Maple latte had a bit more maple syrup. The Kyoto was bold and rich. We all loved the Dark (chocolate) latte, which had a gentle sweet note at the end. Each staff member has their precise task. One person takes order, another measures the EXACT amount of espresso ground for the coffee, another steams the milk, and the very last one pours a PERFECT latte time after time. It was mesmerizing! read more

Hands down, this is one of my favourite spots to grab coffee in Toronto! From the clean, simple, bright aesthetic of the store, to the beautifully crafted espresso drinks, and to the balanced taste of espresso roast, Arabica offers a relaxing, comforting experience sipping on their coffee -- even in the midst of a busy train/subway station. Be warned though, there usually is a long line. However, it's definitely worth the wait. I always go for the Kyoto latte because I prefer unsweetened, but the Spanish latte is a great choice for those who like their coffee sweeter. *BONUS - you need to try their matcha soft cream on hot days! It's a premium price (more so than the coffee), but the quality of the matcha and balanced sweetness are wonderful. read more

Very overpriced drinks, and often long lineups. The matcha is mediocre tasting, and the coffee doesn't seem to be anything special either. During rush hour you can expect to wait for a long time. Expensive prices for the size of drink as well. Not a lot of seating, it's more of a takeout fast food coffee place. read more

I never want to line up at yorkdale for this but since it opened up at union station and it's not too busy in the mornings, I finally got to try. Not a coffee drinker so I got their hot matcha latte which only comes in one size. I think it was $7 ish or so. The service was fast for a weekday morning with the rush of everyone grabbing before work. It is VERY flavourful and a good quality matcha which I enjoy. It was sweetened perfectly or maybe could even be a little less. I would be interested in trying their iced one when it gets warmer. I guess it's kinda expensive for what it is. The size of the hot is kinda small. read more

Super convenient to have a cafe like Arabica at union station as when I am going to Toronto by train I can stop by. My boyfriend got the kyoto latte and I got the maple latte which is a Canadian exclusive. The maple latte was super delicious and was on the sweeter side of drinks so if you like your coffee sweet this might be for you! The service was good as the cashier was very sweet and we did not wait very long for our drinks. Cafe was. very clean and organized (with also very good lighting!! haha) read more

Arabica - Maple latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Took me a while to finally try this very hyped coffee, and it was okay. Arabica is always very difficult to miss with the blindingly bright stores--and especially so with the high traffic location. I found the best times to come here are weekdays around 2-4pm. I got a matcha latte, so not the usual Kyoto or Spanish coffee that folks order. I would say for matcha it's actually pretty solid, very good matcha strength and the sugar compliments it. But that's not to say the matcha flavour is unique compared to other cafes that serve it as well. However, the matcha is mixed really nicely to feel quite smooth. Overall, not bad. I personally wouldn't visit again, but it was a fun bucketlist item. read more

Visited the Arabica at Union Station to see what all the hype was about! The interior is nicely decorated and brightly lit. Of course, there's usually a line out the door so it took a while to reach the cashier, however, the baristas do try to work quickly. I ended up getting the Matcha Latte, and it was probably one of the best Matcha Lattes I've had. It was creamy but with the pleasant grassy matcha notes. You can also add more sugar and milk/cream if you need on the side (which I did add more sugar). It is on the pricey side, however. I was planning on buying some coffee beans as a gift but I didn't think it would be worth it. I understand the fan base however, with such beautiful branding it looks like some of the most premium stuff you can get around here. I would come back to try the other drinks but definitely not something I would get regularly. read more

I have been wanting to check out Arabica because I heard that they were a shop from Kyoto. It's probably similar to their Yorkdale location, but be prepared to wait. I got here at 8:25 and there was already a very long line. In total, weight time was probably around 35 minutes until I was able to order. The aesthetics of Arabica is beautiful; it's simply and clean. I love their logo too. They have a little tuck shop too; not sure who is buying $100 white sneakers with their logo? I ordered the Kyoto Latte (large) and a croissant. The croissant was delicious; I was hoping to share it with my son, but he gobbled all of it and I had a minuscule bite. It was fluffy and very buttery. As for the Kyoto Latte, it was okay. The person at cash explained the ingredients and how it's made. Maybe my mistake was ordering the iced version. I could only taste the milk for a number of sips and then some coffee followed with a hint of condensed milk. I have to give kudos to staff though! It was so busy, but they were all very calm and made everything quickly after customers ordered. Good for: coffee, baked goods read more

Sometimes branding is everything. If you look from far, it looks like APPLE store. It has the same clean and simple feel of APPLE store, instead of selling phones/ computers/ technology, it sells coffee. I really like the presentation, it gave me a feel that I got something nice. The service is excellent and on point. We got Kyoto Latte and Spanish Latte cold, the Kyoto Latte is more blends not as strong but easy to drink. The Spanish latter has strong coffee flavor with little more sweets. I also like they are some merch for the store, they clean looking but expensive. Last thing is the only complaint that I got is that I got cold latte in a paper cup with ice, I think I can see the cup was not handling it too well over time. I like this and can't wait until they expand more location to USA or other city. read more

I found the latte very good. The coffee aroma was so pleasant and strong, the coffee was very rich and you really taste the aroma. However even the Kyoto latte was not sweet enough for me so I would suggest their Spanish latte if you're used to sweeeter lattes - that was the staff suggestion. However, they do have sweetener on the side for you to add The matcha soft serve was good, the matcha was strong but I felt that it was too sweet. Overall, the coffee is super aromatic and tastes amazing. read more

Solid, modernist space. I thought everything was in point. Not too many offerings so it's much easier to choose. The Spanish latte itself was okay and although it was supposed to be sweet ..

Before it was my turn each person before me had so many questions and they were quite patient in answering them. read more

Came across this rather large coffee spot while walking in the PATH and wanted to give it a go. There were tons of people inside despite the day and time I went to acquire some much needed caffeine. There really is not much seating space and there is a long counter area so it really is more catered to people who are on the go. I ordered the Kyoto Latte and I was not disappointed! The coffee had a subtle sweetness to it and just the right amount of milk to espresso. It was a soothing and lovely beverage that I highly recommend you give a try!! I didn't have the pleasure to try any of their treats or other coffee specialities but it was a great surprise! Just note that this place can get super busy being so close to Union and Scotiabank! read more

I got to Union Station around 10AM and, to my surprise, there wasn't the usual lineup. If you are in a hurry to catch a connecting ride, this place gets busy fairly quickly. My first experience with Arabica was in Hong Kong, and then I had the opportunity to check out their flagship in Kyoto, Japan. It's hard not to feel welcome in any Arabica shop with their chic and minimalistic interior and friendly service. They have a very simple, straightforward menu that includes espresso, specialty lattes, drip coffee, matcha, and this unique Maple Latte they have here. Arabica is all about loving coffee, appreciating good design, and travel, and they nail it. I've tried their matcha latte, the Spanish latte, and the Kyoto Latte -- all worth a sip! read more

Stopped by Arabica before work today to try for the first time. The store was spacious and had a creative ambiance. I opted for the Kyoto Latte, which is a popular item at the shop. Lines weren't too long, even at 8:30AM which would be around peak morning hours, so drinks were going by fast. However, I asked for a cold latte, but got hot instead. Not the most stoked about that but the drink tasted great regardless read more
