Probably my favourite cafe on the strip of Cathedral Town. I love that it's bright, inviting and…read moremost of all dog friendly. I come here a lot and always see so many cute dogs come through the door. Their matcha is great and I'm mostly here playing catch up with friends over a drink. It does get busy so you may not be able to snag a spot if you want, but worth checking out for sure!

You can imagine how busy the place is with lots of music enthusiasts. It's a beautiful space with super high ceiling, and there are tables for customers who dines in. You will hear customers playing the piano or drums from time to time; never a dull moment lol. I ordered a hot chocolate since it's late in the afternoon, and I still got pretty latte art, yay :3 There were no more pastries by the end of the day, so go early if you want a treat!

We had a drip coffee and a cappuccino with lactose free milk at an extra charge, together it came to $10.45. There is a counter and a few tables and chairs for seating which are lined up in the middle of the cafe and music instruments store. There were two tables at the front of the coffee pick up area reserved for people with disabilities. The baristas was informative and efficient. There bags of coffee for sale. Plenty of parking is available right outside along the building.

My favourite thing about this place was the decor and the giant labubu dolls lol. They have so much I want to try on the menu. Parking was a pain in the plaza, but of course that's not the business's fault. I would definitely come back here when I'm in Markham.

Super cute tiny coffee shop. Lots of coffee and noncoffee drinks to choose from! They also have…read moresnacks and desserts as well. I ordered the large Fancy Matcha Latte, which is made with matcha, espresso, and coconut milk. The regular sugar is not too sweet, which is nice. I did taste the matcha and espresso, but not so much the coconut milk. The drink was decent. For $10 for a drink though, it's definitely on the pricier side for a coffee drink. I also purchased the set of 6 bear macarons. They are so cute! It's $23 for the set, no tax, and you're basically getting one for free since one macaron is $4.5. The macarons came frozen. I would come back and try out the other drinks, especially the non coffee drinks. Their specialty drinks sound good. Staff were really nice and they explained a lot of their menu to me.

Paris Baguette is my go‑to spot in the area for consistently solid baked goods and sliced cakes…read more Their loyalty program is a nice perk too -- they run specials often enough that it actually feels worthwhile. The coffee here is good, but I tend to skip most of the sugary drinks since they're a bit too sweet, especially when paired with an already sweet pastry. If you like your beverages on the lighter side, stick to the basics. Weekends can get very busy. If you're hoping to grab a seat and enjoy your treats in‑house, it's best to avoid peak times. Otherwise, it's a reliable stop for takeout pastries, cakes, and a quick caffeine fix.

I was running some errands and noticed that there was a Paris Baguette in this plaza. I wanted to…read morego check it out. The inside was spacious, pastries on the left and seating on the right. There were lots of savoury and sweet options + plus the prettiest cakes too. I chose a sweet milk bun, almond raspberry croissant, and an almond pastry. I love the sweet bun and almond pastry. The buns were so soft and the almond filling was so nutty and good; not too sweet. This is a nice place to get a sweet treat pastry!

Finally, a proper matcha latte! Maybe I just really like my matcha bitter, but The Library…read moreSpecialty is one of the best places to go to for matcha. The service was prompt and efficient, and there were a few spots inside for seating. It was quiet on a Saturday afternoon when we got there, but more people started coming in afterwards, and got some iced matcha (despite the cold, haha)! The hojicha latte was tasty as well, it tasted similar to the ones we had in Japan.

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

Location/Service This place is right in the intersection of…read moreMarkham Rd and 16th - within a plaza strip with a few restaurant (e.g. Ai Sushi) and businesses. The parking situation can be a little crazy during peak hours, so time yourself accordingly. Interior have good vibes - I love the sunlight coming in during the day and there are a few tables available to do actual work. Definitely will bring my laptop there. Staff are also very nice and the orders/drinks were pretty quick. Food/Drink Stopped by here in the morning and was craving a nice coffee and a baked good. They do have different specialized drinks, but I just opted for the classic flat white and an almond croissant. For these basics, they're pretty solid - strong coffee and I like how they have different customizations available to make it your personalized drink. Croissant was surpassingly good - it was packed with almonds and flavour and I was actually full after from eating. I like how it's flaky so you know it's a good one. Overall very nice place in this area, definitely coming back to try more things in the future!

There are a few tables and chairs to sit down to eat or a quick stop for a drink. Service 5/5 The staff were very friendly and helpful. They walked through the options they had and were patient with questions. I really appreciated being able to sample some of the bread before deciding. It made the experience feel welcoming and relaxed. Food 4/5 There's plenty of choices on the menu and everything tasted freshly made flavours are solid and satisfying, and the ability to try samples first helped narrow down what to order. Would definitely come back to try more items. Just keep in mind that some products would be sold out later on in the day, so try to come early in the afternoon if you want to see everything. I had the yuzu and they also have matcha and red bean buns

Tip: Bun Appetit is around the corner from Kinton Ramen in Commerce Gate plaza…read more A recent Yelp tasting event introduced me to Bun Appetit and its baked goods. I bought a couple of buns as a customer since then and I'm hooked! Bun Appetit is located at Commerce Gate. It's located closer to Highway 7. It's around the corner from Kinton Ramen, which I have been to a handful of times during the pandemic to pick up good eats. I found a parking spot steps away from Bun Appetit on a Wednesday evening at around 6:15 pm and backed in to it. It's easier to find parking when it's a weekday, in the afternoon. Bun Appetit's breads are naturally fermented for 168 hours. I liked that all buns and breads are gut-friendly and low on the glycemic index. I'm always interested in lower sugar options. I have sampled these items: - Baguette - Whole wheat walnut vegan bun - Lychee bun - Raisin earl grey bun - Oreo chocolate delight bun - Matcha pistachio pretzel - Whole wheat German pretzel - Yeast loaf with Nutella They were all delicious. They were soft and airy. My favourites were the whole wheat walnut vegan bun and the Oreo chocolate delight bun (also known as the messy hands bun). The former had whole walnuts that were so crunchy and fresh. The bread was chewy and soft. The messy hands bun used dark chocolate. It was also fluffy and soft. It lived up to its name. I had messy fingers just eating a morsel! It has 9 g of sugar, which is practically nothing being fermented. I liked how unique the flavours were. I loved the smell of the lychee bun. I wish it had lychee pieces in it. Instead, it was wine-infused and that flavour overpowered everything. I loved the yeast loaf with Nutella as a dessert option. I nearly picked up a loaf after this event was over! As a parting snack, I got the truffle mushroom one. It was the last one. I love mushrooms. It was super delicious with truffle oil, enoki mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and melted cheeses on top. The bun was soft and perfect. It was such a gourmet bun. I have since returned to get more buns: - Strawberry beetroot - Chocolate arancia The strawberry beetroot bun was fluffy. I decided to cut it in half. To my surprise and joy, it had whole strawberries in it. Wow and yay! I love fruit, but I wasn't expecting so much of it in this bun. I loved it. It was naturally sweet from the strawberries. The beetroot wasn't noticeable in flavour. I feel it added colour to the triangular bun more than anything. The chocolate arancia was equally as unique slicing it in half. This bun had candied orange bits in it. It tasted so good with the chocolate morsels on top and the subtle chocolate flavour in the bun itself. It was delicious. I need to return for more. I have found the buns of my dreams, which sounds odd and funny. It's all true! I paid with a credit card. You can register your phone number to collect points towards goodies. I'll be back. (185)

Despite being jampacked, as it often is, there was a good supply of the pastries we sought. New to the mix, is their version of a tiramisu. It is off the charts! The pastry chef is truly an artist. If you wish to try possibly the best pastries in the entire GTA, this is the place to go. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful.
