There should be a sign or the ramp should be painted yellow for extra safety. I ordered the hojicha latte - it was slightly gritty, but it might just be the hojicha they used? It wasn't the most pleasant texture. Flavor was light, not as nutty or aromatic as other hojicha's I've tried. They were selling the hojicha powder they use for the drink ($28, Kyoto hojicha powder) on the shelf next to the bakery stand, along with other matcha powders, coffee beans, and coffee accessories.

They have an amazing daily special: a hot sandwich with any Americano order! With three flavors to choose from, I got the ham and cheese which was made with a sweet bread and pressed into 2 neat triangles to seal in the mayo, ham and cheese filling. Simple yet satisfying. The other 2 flavors of free sandwiches to get with your coffee were unique, purple rice with cream chese. I have yet to try but the bright purple color was definately intriguing. The store literally has its doors open all day, its very inviting. They even have little doggy bowls filled with water outside the cafe! Will revisit and highly recommend.

The worker was friendly, approachable and was able to explain highlight recommended menu items. Ordered the pistachio latte which was pleasant, not so sweet and yummy! Cozy, cute, but limited seating space. Would recommend if you're working alone or with one other person. Not enough space for big groups. But I also did notice they had an outdoor patio seating area as well! So perhaps a great patio day!

Their coffee/espresso is solid here (Hatch beans!), so you know you're getting a good drink. I went for their sea salt cheese foam latte (iced), which was a perfect blend of espresso, milk, & slightly sweet, salty, creamy foam. I also appreciate how there is some seating available (high top table by the front windows, bench seating along one side of the store). It's not the best cafe if you want to work or have a long chat, but it's nice that there's the option to sit and relax instead of just taking your drink to go. I wish the prices of their speciality drinks were slightly less expensive though, because $8 for an iced drink (while delicious & pretty) is a lot to spend.

Both drinks were great and were prepared beautifully. I can't wait to try their jasmine tea latte that is also on their specialty menu item. They have a large bench seating area that is perfect for a quick chit chat/ catch up with friends. Overall, a great spot to check out and I can't wait to be back.

Thankfully, the vanilla bean latte absolutely did the job--and it was genuinely delicious too. The house blend espresso was smooth and creamy, with a rich chocolatey note without tasting overly roasted, exactly the way I like it. The vanilla bean flavour was also really pleasant, adding just the right amount of sweetness and aroma without overpowering the coffee. All in all, it was a near-perfect latte. The only downside was the price--I paid about $9 for a large with three shots, which felt a bit steep. Still, it was a very satisfying cup of java. I also appreciated the fact that it is doggo friendly as it has a jar of treats for your pups. I'll bring little morty over sometimes.

Looking over the menu I saw that they were offering a strawberry matcha which I had to get. The matcha they use is the viral Marukyu Koyamean's Isuzu, which is refreshing and light. Paired with the strawberry and oat milk it was a perfect blend of sweetness, refreshing, and creamy. As I was waiting for my drink, I walked around and noticed a back section with tables and chairs. Assuming that it's for people to sit down to enjoy their drinks. I was also told by staff at they serve alcoholic drinks after 6PM (if I remember correctly). A cool 2 in 1 spot for coffee /match and drinks. Would definitely go back to try their other drinks since I now they use MK's matcha! Give it a try!

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I didn't have any coffee and was about to catch my flight in a couple of hours. I didn't want the generic tim hortons or balzac's coffee and fortunately Neo Coffee Bar popped up. What intrigued me was the asian coffee bar experience. I think it just refers to the matcha inspired baked goods, which were delicious in their own way. I got a large coffee and a matcha cream puff to boot. The coffee was standard good however the cream puff was REALLY good. Cream was light and airy with a hint of matcha and the puff pastry wasn't stale. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall for a coffee and a pastry, the out of pocket was around $8. I enjoyed the cream puff alot which would alone make me come back.

Is this store associated with The Alley? or is that name just not copyrighted? lol…read more We hung out here for a few hours on Monday morning, and we were the only customers for most of the time. I ordered the Coconut Matcha, while my partner got the Virgin Mojito Latte. Honestly, we didn't love either of these drinks. Firstly, I was surprised to see that my drink was not a latte, but rather matcha poured over coconut water (rather than milk). The flavours still worked together, but it's not something I would order again. The Mojito is not something I would recommend - it tasted exactly as it is named, but my palette just couldn't meld mojito and latte flavours. There are a few small tables, but not a whole lot of space. Ambience was slightly festive and quite cozy, with some merch along the walls. The staff were really nice - the owner even let us sample some of his Yunnan pour over. Maybe I'd like some of their other drinks, so if we're in the Unionville area again, I'd consider coming back.

I'd been to the other location of Cong Caphe on Yonge and enjoyed it, so when I found myself in…read moremidtown, i figured I'd stop in for an iced coffee. I eventually decided to go with the Bac Xiu ("coffee w condensed milk & coconut cream"), and I got that large and to go. It's a tasty concoction. Every sip has some ice in it, which is weird, but otherwise the flavor is really tasty. It's definitely coconut forward but not in an overly sweet way. However, much like the drink I got at the other location, this one doesn't pack much bang for your buck. I feel like I finished drinking it way too quickly, and in this era of Starbucks, this conservative amount of brew isn't really going to cut it. This is a fairly small complaint for a drink I genuinely did enjoy quite a lot. I'm curious to try Cong Caphe's other offerings, that's for sure.
