Cute little cafe that's fairly close by to the Humber Lakeshore Campus! It was my first time visiting here and instantly loved the ambiance of the place and the decor. There was only one worker that catered to the guests in terms of cashing them out and making the food and drinks. She did really well in serving guests in a timely manner. I ordered the truffle avocado grilled cheese and a matcha latte and enjoyed both. They have a variety of food and drink options for you to choose from. I definitely will be coming back to try more of their items! Overall, its a cute small quaint cafe which I would say is a hidden gem! read more

My new favourite cafe for baked goods. I work in the area, so I'm always looking for new bakeries and pastries to try, to enjoy with my coffee during my break. Black goat is no stranger to me. I visited this cafe only a handful of times more than 5 years ago, as I was not working in the area yet but would come down for meetings. During this time I distinctly remember they had an Oreo cheesecake cookie that was aaaaamazing. So amazing, I never forgot about it, 5+ years later lol. Well I came back this year, sad to find out they were no longer selling it. So on my first visit, I decided just to get a chocolate chip cookie. To my surprise, I actually really liked it. I'm very picky with my chocolate chip cookies. The bonus was the price point. It was only $2 something for a delicious, generously sized cookie. On one of my most recent visits a conversation was sparked with the owner. I thought it was appropriate as I was in there so often, I should at least learn her name lol. I learned so much from her and all the struggles she faces as a small business during these times of COVID and inflation. The owner is soooo nice and sweet. Okay this review is getting so long lol let me tell you about some of the other treats. Which again, her price points are so refreshing during these expensive times. Banana chocolate chip muffin- I don't like these, but I love them at black goat. The muffin top has the slightest crunch and they use chopped Belgian chocolate instead of chocolate chips. All this makes it's so delicious and so different than any other banana chocolate muffin I've tried. Carrot muffin- again that slight crunch on the muffin top is such a winner. And the muffin is not too sweet, like those store bought one. It tastes fresh, like your actually getting a serving of vegetables lol making you feel even better about eating a muffin. New menu item, croissants - so wonderful! It has the perfect slightly crunchy outer layer while the inside is so soft and all around buttery. AND great news, the Oreo cheesecake cookies are coming back this week!! Back by popular demand, she informed me that these were coming back, as she was rolling out a whole load of new bakery items. (Brownies, hello dolly bars, other cookies) I'm sooooo excited, take all my money! Hot tip: all baked goods are 50% off after 1:30! This place is going to be a problem because I was already here 3 times in one week....even twice in one day. Hahaha. I love supporting local :) read more

A sweet small business cafe! It is usually quiet during the weekdays, but is the best place to sit, relax and enjoy a nice coffee. They have tons of food options! Service is kind and welcoming. Love this place as a Humber student! read more

Such a cute little coffee shop ! Stopped by to work while I waited to check in yo my hotel and everyone was so friendly. I ordered a cortado and a water and sat by the window while I worked. I didn't try any sandwiches but they do have some in the menu. I wish they had a restroom but they don't. read more

Excellent iced Americano! Easy to find parking. Yummy baked goods. A few spots outside to sit and as well as inside

I love this place. Super chill and cozy with great decor. It's pretty small--3 comfy bar stools along a (wide) window table and one big table that fits 4. But the 3 times that I've been, it hasn't been too busy (most likely because the Humber students are out for the summer). Their menu is quite extensive. They have all kinds of hot and cold drinks including Thai iced tea and iced Hong Kong milk tea! Their Thai iced tea is . Would definitely get it again. And their coffee is real smooth. I love buying a drink, a snack, and settling down at a window stool to get some work done. read more

Not perfect, but the ambiance here was enough to make me fall in love. Located in Etobicoke/Long Branch area, just west of Kipling Ave and Lakeshore Blvd. West, this place has a super inviting feel, very welcoming, rustic (some of the furniture looked straight out of a Restoration Hardware catalogue), and friendly service. We visited on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy. Street parking was $1.00 per hour. We were battling a minor flu bug and instead of coffee, we ordered: a) the HK Milk Tea, b) HK Lemon Tea, and c) a banana chocolate chip muffin. First, the drinks. They have a pretty extensive menu (see menu attached). It looks like they specialize in making the drinks we ordered cold - but because of our flu bug, we asked for it hot instead. Not sure if this is how it should be, but the drinks were so-so. The HK Milk Tea was nice and sweet but the HK Lemon tea tasted like regular black tea with lemon. Nothing too special. However, I will definitely be back to try their actual coffees instead. Second, the snacks and baked treats. I was totally blown away by how delicious the muffin was - it was so moist and fresh, the chocolate soft and melted at the touch. Normally with these coffee shops, I end up with a pretty dry pastry outsourced from another shop. But Black Goat Cafe makes everything IN-HOUSE and it actually tasted that way!! It was so delicious! I'm definitely coming back and trying the rest of their baked goods. Lastly, the atmosphere and MUSIC. I found myself Shazam-ing basically every song that came on. Great vibe, a nice place to do work, peaceful and quiet. There's not a lot of seating so perhaps best only for a pair or smaller groups. We paid a little over $10.00 for 2 drinks and a muffin. I will definitely and certainly be back soon to actually try their coffee and other treats! read more

Black Goat Cafe - Americano misto and Cuban sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Here's the problem.. If you want to do sandwiches/be a restaurant and still operate as a coffee shop; get 2 people as staff. Waiting 12 minutes for a latte is (first world problems...) ridiculous. High maintenance couple needs their sandwiches cut in half, waiting for toasting, etc... Painful. What's nice about take out coffee is its a SHORT TERM stay, or at least u hope so... The employee is super nice (blonde) and it's not her fault. Having sandwiches is cool, ready made sandwiches or make the leap and hire more staff. The location adds to the area (boring). Wouldn't return for coffee, more headache than anything.. read more

I must say, I was really impressed with this place when I first walked in. It has a super cozy, hipster atmosphere and the windows let a lot of light in. There is comfy seating in the corner with pillows as well as a nice bar table by the window. I was surprised that they sold hong kong milk tea here actually. I was not expecting it. It was a nice surprise. For $3.50, it's a fairly decent price. Plus, it's a good size and served in a cute mason jar! I'm not sure if it ever gets busy here, but the seating in the corner is pretty limited, and the tables are a little close to each other which might not be great if you don't like sitting too close to other people. But other than that, I really enjoyed this place! The workers are all friendly and the atmosphere is great. I will definitely be coming again, and many times after that! read more

Pulled pork burger, salmon and cream cheese bagels, super good cookies (chocolate chip is the BEST but Oreo cheesecake is good too), and amazing coffee options. The food is very cheap, but the drinks are overpriced. They also say the close at a certain time- 7pm on weekdays, but if you go around 6pm, the employees have already stored everything away, and you can hope they get you coffee at least, because they don't always. read more

I've been here twice and tried the mocha, oreo cheesecake cookie, and a chocolate coconut cookie. Everything has been delicious, especially the oreo cheesecake cookie - it's a must-try! My favourite thing about the baked goods is that they're not overly sweet. The flavours are enjoyable because they're not overpowered by sugar. The cafe itself is clean and quiet. The owner, who served me both times, is very sweet. The Black Goat Cafe is a wonderful addition to the Lake Shore! read more

I stopped into Black Goat Cafe on a Tuesday afternoon for a quick pick me up. I had a mocha with almond milk and a day old cookies & cream cookie. It was decent, but I found it to be a bit pricey as I spent $6 on a small (maybe 8oz) mocha and a cookie from yesterday. It is a cute spot, and I would stop in again once in awhile but probably can't afford to be a regular here :p. read more

Close by, convenient and pretty cool inside. I've been driving past this location since moving into the neighbourhood wondering what the heck this unnamed business was with a wooden sign. Finally, Yelp helped me to figure out that the unnamed spot was in fact, a coffee shop named the Black Goat Cafe. As others have mentioned, it's very small. Maybe 3-4 bar stool seats and perhaps 2 tables. The wifi is free and there are some plugs if you plan on plugging in your device so you can get some work done. Despite having A/C running it was crazy hot in here and definitely limited my desire to stay any longer than I had to - perhaps it'll be a cozier place by winter? I didn't get anything fancy, just a green tea on ice to help cool me off. I think it was a standard tea bag, nothing crazy, definitely not anything that can fairly help me build an opinion on this place. With that said, I'm starting them off with a 3 star A-OK and will try their coffee before I give them a boost up or down. read more

My new favorite local cafe. Their HongKong milk tea and ice tea are authentic and taste great. The cafe is cozy and clean. Baked goods are all made in house. Chocolate Chip muffin is very filling. Eat one and you are pretty much good for the whole day. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Cute location, however it is quite small. The staff is very welcoming and there is actually quite a bit of variety in beverages and food. As a normal passerby I never really noticed this shop but I would go back again. read more

Great little cafe! I had the pulled pork sandwich and coffee. Amazing value for the price you pay, and it was probably one of my favourite sandwiches I've had. If you're into rustic spaces, you're going to love this place. Only thing I will mention is that seating can be a little limited (but so far I've always gotten a seat right away). read more

The girl working today doesn't know how to make a cappuccino! Ordered and she made a latte, asked her to remake it and she tried giving me back the same exact drink with literally a spoon on foam on it. When I told her she was like"oh did you want me to remake it?" I told her yes and she made another latte, left the cup on the counter and didn't even tell us it was ready. Then she said that her cup won't let her make a cappuccino? Seriously? we waited over 30 min for 5 drinks. Don't waste your time, just not worth it today. Hopefully they actually train the ppl that work there. read more

Delicious cappuccino and banana chocolate chip muffin, also tried the Oreo and chocolate chip cookies; all equally tasty! Very nice and helpful barista, comparable to Starbucks products with slightly cheaper prices! read more

Great little coffee shop. They make you feel special every time, even though they don't write your name on the cup. Their specialty coffees will make you jolt and dance the Macarena all day at work. read more

I usually don't write bad reviews, but the mocha I had tasted like nesquick and my friend had gotten a matcha latte that tasted like flavorless cup of grass in warm milk. read more

My favorite cafe in the area. A great place to come to sit and have a coffee with a snack. Great service as well, highly recommend!

Amazing coffee! Amazing service! It's refreshing to see such a modern and sleek looking cafe in this area, my new go to place for coffee, and the owner is an absolute angel! read more

This spot is super cozy with super nice corner seats for a laptop and hot cup of tea. It is small but warm. Good atmosphere.

I discovered this place while exploring the area. It's not very big and does not have much seating but has a really cool hipster feel. The girl working the counter that day was very nice and provided great service. However, none of that mattered when I noticed that my coffee was warm at best. If you can't go to a cafe and get a hot cup of flavorful coffee then what's the point. Unfortunately I will not be going back. read more

Hidden gem. Hong Kong milk tea and vietnamese ice coffee is legit! So happy to have found this place.

Just like Fairgrounds, more expensive than competitors despite being in worse area that should have lower rent.

Great little addition to Lake Shore. Amazing coffee shop that was definitely needed in the area. Enjoyed all of my humungous tuna sandwich with an oreo cookie on the side with my americano brewed to perfection! read more

My girlfriend and I love discovering new cafe's around town and even though it's quite far we find ourselves going back. It's hard to please us when it comes to coffee but this place has SUPERB coffee. Try the fresh baked homemade cookies the one with coconuts. read more
