the interior of a coffee shop

Beautiful coffee shop, lovely coffee and pastries with a very friendly staff. Highly recommend this place

Patio
Sam D.

Balzacs are generally a step above in ambience, but this location is now my favorite. Airy and spacious, plenty of electrical power outlets with USB, WiFi tested at 100/14. This location fits about 30 people plus a patio. For parents, there is a large playground across the street. All around good option.

Balzac's Powerhouse location is located around Dupont/Lansdowne. The cafe is somewhat hidden if you don't know where it is or live around the area. I've gone to this location several times and always find that the staff was very friendly and attentive, the drinks are good, and that there is plenty of seating if you are looking for a quiet place to work. Moreover, the decor is on point and I have definitely taken a few pictures of the pretty interior!

Another location added to the growing family that Balzac already has. This coffee shops located in what used to be a PowerHouse right beside the heritage Foundry Lofts on Landsdowne (just north of the main intersection Lansdowne and DuPont). Great ambience and unique decor make this location another gem where you can come, sit, relax either alone or with your friends. The quality of the coffee and the service is in line with the rest of the other location so if you are in the area, a visit is worthwhile.

Ordered: Medium lattes, matcha latte, carrot cake, scone and chocolate bar. Pros: - Great coffee selection - Lots of pastries to choose - Beautiful decorated space to sit and enjoy Cons: - A bit pricey Overall: I would visit again and try some of the other items on the menu. The coffee was tasty, so was the matcha latte and the pastries were fresh, a good size portion and delicious. Overall a nice afternoon treat and a must visit!

One of our favourite cafe around the city. Their lattes are really smooth and leaves no bitter…read moreaftertaste. We also like to come and buy their beans, as the beans are good quality and when we make the expresso, it comes out nicely. It's a cozy place, it has a seating area both inside and outside. The service is pretty much like any cafe, you order at the counter and find a seat that you like.

A local coffee shop in Kensington Market area that is super busy!…read more Came here for an afternoon coffee pick me up and got sold on the cold brew that the many working behind the counter recommended. It was a good recommendation, gave e the caffeine hit I needed and was quite delicious. Especially quenched my thirst during the hot summer day I was spending outdoors walking the area. Wait time wasn't too long/ bad and the inside has seating that was packed. They also have a patio out front with lots of seating, but not many people were sitting outside, probably because it was so hot that day. The washroom situation was the most uncomfortable thing for me though, the stall is tiny and I barely fit in there. So skip on using their washrooms if you can, and just get their coffee. By the time I was leaving there was a line out the door waiting to get their afternoon coffee fixes too. A great local spot to check out!

Solid matcha, beautiful latte art, delicious croissant sandwiches…read more Came just before 9am on a Saturday and managed to order before a morning crowd started to form. We got a matcha latte with oat milk, cappuccino, and the breakfast sandwich w smoked salmon (forgot the name). Matcha latte was great, I loved that they clarified whether I wanted sweetened or unsweetened. Sometimes cafes serve them sweetened without me realizing. It's not super crazy high quality but it's definitely better than most cafes. I only had a sip of the cappuccino but I could tell my mom didn't love it. It's just on the fruitier side so it tasted more sour and not creamy/smooth (which is what my mom prefers). Depends on your preference. She really liked the latte art though and didn't want to ruin it by drinking it! The sandwich was big and delicious. There's a hint of dill flavor which paired well with the salmon. I could tell my mom liked it. The cafe itself has a few tables and high top counter seating, as well as seating outside. There's two restrooms in the back. They seem to bake everything in house and it smelled wonderful as they brought stuff out the oven. Loved the all female staff!

This hidden gem in the Junction (Toronto) is a roastery slash space for coffee enthusiasts and…read morenomads. This beautiful spot also boasts some great baristas with so much bean knowledge--ask them anything! Always a great time to chat. I have been here a few times and this time, actually stayed for a few hours to get some work done. Located in the industrial part of the Junction the space presents itself industrial but filled with warmths. When you walk in, you will see immediately a long coffee bar with various coffee machines for your pour overs, cappuchinos, espresso etc. At the far back, giant machines (roasting things perhaps), workspace for the techs (I think) and a beautiful graffiti art on the back wall. The main seating area comprises of high bar stools, a few desks area with sockets and roman theatre style steps with some tables that you can work from (also with sockets) or just chat away. There is a section in the shop that is a retain space with all the beans you can buy to go and various coffee related pieces. Commute wise, it is not the easiest but it is steps away from St. Clair/Keele. Definitely worth checking out--their coffee is so so so good! Drivers, street side parking available :D

I was charged $82.26 for a kilo of coffee. I ordered it on a Monday and paid $10.41 for "1 business…read moreday shipping". I was told in their "chat" that it would arrive on Wednesday (two days later) and, if not, on Thursday. Just received an email from them saying it will arrive on Monday, a full week after I ordered. When I asked what the $10.41 was for if it takes a week to receive, I was told about their process and that "we have this stated in multiple places, including the banner of our home page and every product page". That doesn't explain why I was told something different in "chat". Their coffee is good but not $82.26 and a one-week delivery good.
