If you're looking for a coffee shop to settle into and actually get some work done, this is the spot. The atmosphere is calm, quiet, and conducive to productivity--perfect for spending a few hours on your laptop or just escaping the city noise. I only grabbed a coffee this trip and the service was quick and very friendly. They also offer solid, standard breakfast options for a good morning start. I know they have a unique specialty Korean menu (which I didn't try this time!), and that's definitely bringing me back. While I just had coffee and was on my way quickly, the overall environment and swift service ensure I'll return soon to explore those specific offerings. Highly recommend for the fast service and relaxed vibe!
Such a cute cafe! Tried the mango bingsu. Would definitely recommend sharing! The lady who served us was very sweet and excited to welcome us in. Definitely will be back to try other flavours! Seemed like a good place to hang with friends or even study!
Wow what a cute little cafe with a fantastic bingsu menu! This is the perfect place to share a bingsu (aka korean shaved ice) with your partner or your friends. They've got a large variety of flavours - we went with the Injeolmi and got a large creamy chilly helping of ricecake, bean powder, sweet milk and almonds! It was light and satisfying, and definitely worth having after a heavy meal. If bingsu is not your flavour, come for the drinks and prepared pastries. The cafe has such a comfy vibe with great seating.
This is my first time visiting the Cafe Daily and my first time trying Bingsu. It was after lunch on a Saturday afternoon and I steady craving for some dessert. I searched on Yelp and found this place. The following are the items I ordered. Mango Bingsu: The presentation of the Mango Bingsu is beautiful and the mango is very fresh. I thought the Bingsu is made of shaved ice (water) but it turns out it is made of shaved frozen milk. The mixture of the vanilla ice cream, sweet mango, and shaved frozen milk made this a perfect dessert. I was surprised how light this dessert feels after I consumed the whole bowl of Bingsu by myself. Strawberry Cream and Tiramisu Macaron: Normal taste Macaron, not bad at all. Matcha Latte: The Matcha Latte is just too sweet even compare with the Mango Bingsu. The sweetness totally covers the taste of the Matcha. Overall, Cafe Daily is a nice place to enjoy a chill weekend afternoon. I believe the highlight of this café is their Bingsu, which is much better than I have expected. I also wanted to give a pat on the back to the baristas / waitress. The café was full during that day and she was able to service almost a dozen of tables very promptly with positive attitude.
If I could rate this over 5 stars I would. I love this place, it's my favourite cafe to get some work done in Toronto. The atmosphere is quiet and very minimalist. The bingsu was so good, and their iced lattes are amazing. The only down about it is that it's quite pricey.
I was craving some bingsu today and visited café daily! I ordered their cheesecake bingsu and it was so refreshing. Huge chunks of cheesecake which I love but I wish they added a bit more strawberry syrup on top. Overall, I recommend visiting this spot if you are looking for a place to hang out with friends or even do some work! Decent amount of seating areas and service was great.
TLDR: Quaint vibes, relaxed menu, great for a casual date or just a friend's catch-up. (Slightly) longer review for those not in a hurry: Taste (3.5/5) : They used to have this really yummy sweet potato latte! It was velvety smooth, not too sweet, had a great body to it, and topped with pine nuts. I think COVID kicked it off the menu though :'( I did, however, pick a few other items that were nice, too! Iced Americano I think this simple drink can speak volumes about the coffee a place has to offer! It was refreshing and nutty, but not too bold to be bitter. Makes me feel that their coffee should be of a pretty nice quality :) Injeolmi latte I specifically requested for a less sweet drink, because I don't like it when my drinks are too sweet. They delivered alright :) Injeolmi is rice cake covered with a bean powder! It had an earthy taste that still retained its natural sweetness. I think this effectively filled the hole in my soul that my absent sweet potato latte left. Cheddar Cheese Croffle The croffle is a lovechild between a waffle and a croissant. It's basically the croissant dough cooked in a waffle iron! To be honest, the cheddar cheese, being the regular processed, sliced, american cheese, was a bit plasticy in texture. I sincerely believe that this dish would have been better if it was better cheese! The croffle also came across as a bit ... floppy. If cooked at a higher temperature for a longer time, I think it would have had a wonderful crisp! I don't particularly recommend the Cheddar Cheese Croffle, but I think if paired properly, it could be very yummy :) Place (3/5) : Simple place, nothing in particular notable with the facilities. It seemed to specialize in 2 seaters though, so likely aimed at couples or professional conversations! The service was great, because the waitress was very patient with answering all the questions I had about the food! All in all, not my favourite cafe in North York, but it doesn't hurt to swing by if you're in the area and have already tried the other cafes! Follow my insta @joelyho for more food reviews and derpiness!
I think the cafe's current name is changed to Daily Cafe. They are located on the second floor and only accepts cash and debit. Since they are not under Cafe Bene franchise, I was sorry to hear they no longer served the famous sweet potato latte back when Bene was here. That said it is still an awesome cozy place with yummy drinks to fulfill your sugar crave as you rammage through pages of textbook for that dreaded exam or if you are recovering from a night out with a cute date. I ordered hazelnut latte and literally stayed there till they closed at 11pm. Owner and staff were super nice. Washroom was definitely cleaner than some of the other ones in the Yonge Finch area. They played all of the top 40 Kpop music in the background. If youre a Kpop fan, this is your hood. Place gets a bit busy but there should be seats available on weekend nights! Will def come back to try their other drinks.
September 9th, 2019 - My cousin, friend and I went to a #HappyJKDay event. It was on a weekday and it wasn't busy. My cousin ordered: Chocolate Truffle cake 4/5 Pineapple soda 3/5 Oreo choco shaved ice 5/5 My friend ordered: White chocolate raspberry cake 5/5 Injeolmi shaved ice 5/5 I ordered: Mango shaved ice 5/5 Pineapple soda 3/5 Everything was yummy and the service was good. Staff was friendly and lots of seating.
I dunno why but this is my favourite dessert spot in North York. It has a special place in my heart as I have so many memories here :') Ambience wise yes it's kinda best suited as a plain study spot but the wooden booths infront of the cash area are my favourite spots to meet up with friends or go on late night dates to because there's something so cozy and simple about it. Also lemme tell you, CROFFLE SU-PRE-MA-CY. THEY HAVE MY FAVOURITE CROFFLES HERE. I'VE TRIED OTHER CAFE CROFFLES IN THE AREA AND HELL NOOO DON'T GIMME DAT SHIT. THE ONES AT CAFE DAILY ARE BY FAR THE BEST. So buttery, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love injeolmi (soybean powder) then get their injeolmi croffle!! The mochi pairing and powder is sososososososo good. They also have a variety of bingsu which are amazing, I wanna try all their flavours. So far the injeolmi and espresso bingsu are my favourite. Anyways, lemme calm my ass down, I just miss going here since I moved away. I came here so much when I lived in the area for a bit and the owner ended knowing me as a regular. Shes a super sweet lady and knows I love her injeolmi croffles and bingsu. Also the pricing is amazing for the portion sizing and you also get a discount if you pay cash which makes the value even more worth it. imy cafe daily
Surprisingly solid option for bingsu in the area! LOCATION: 4/5 The location is super easy to miss, despite being right at Yonge & Finch area. Through the first doors, there are about 4 different restaurants, and cafe bene is upstairs. It seems super tiny from the outside, but upon going inside, it is actually a pretty spacious cafe. There are plenty of tables for you to just sit and chat. FOOD: 4/5 It was my first time here but my friend who lives in the area said that their portion sizes used to be larger and around ~$15. The sizes are now regular sized at from $7.99-$8.50. I personally prefer this as you can try more flavours/don't have to share. Their portions are very generous for this price point. Compared to other popular bingsu cafes which would be closer to $10 for the same size, or a cup sized for this price. I ordered the mango bingsu and there were so many mango chunks that they were practically falling out of the bowl. The ice cream it came with was about the size of my fist and there was enough mango syrup for every bite to be flavourful. SERVICE: 4/5 Service is okay. You choose your own spot to sit and they'll come take your order. As its a cafe, people tend to sit and hang out here for a while, so you pay at the front when you are leaving. The only bad thing is they never offered water, which would be nice since desserts can be super sweet and you might need to wash it down. Definitely coming back to try more flavours!
hmm.. I guess they changed their name on Yelp? It used to be called Cafe Bene and it's definitely not closed! Management has not changed and still run by the two sweet ladies. On my first visit, the cafe was hard to find. When you walk down the street, you'll see a black hanging sign and walk upstairs. The cafe door is to the left. This is one of my favourite Korean cafe's (not that I have visited many, but it's a nice cafe) that I visit on a regular basis (mostly because of BTS events), but the owners are soooo friendly and treat you very well. My go to drink is the sweet potato latte and you can't go wrong with either hot or cold because both versions pack in lots of flavours and super creamy. I have also tried the peach and pineapple sodas, yuzu korean tea (cold) and cheese cake which were also super delicious as well. On my next visit, I will definitely to try their famous bingsu with a friend because from the pictures they look really big and it's definitely a portion for 2-3 people. The cafe has a wooden interior and gives a homey vibe with lots of tables and you can even bring your laptop to work. They block off some tables that it's enough that it can be private. Price wise, it is average and affordable. I have left a tip here, but they take cash/debit only. I definitely recommend coming here at least once. You won't be disappointed.
It's a little tricky to find, as it's on the second story... but once you do find it, you will be delighted! This is such a cute and quaint spot with great service. Everything is fresh and the staff is so joyful, generous and accommodating. A wonderful find, we will be back!!
Came here when it was rainy, and it was kind of hard to find. It's on the second floor, at the door to the left. When I went the whole cafe was full! Aesthetic wise it was cozy. We were wet from outside and the staff wiped us off using towels. We were seated very shortly! Note I do notice ppl come here to catch up with friends, making bracelets, working etc. seats r pretty limited. We got the coffee (jollypong) bingsu and the mango bingsu. We (3 ppl) shared them both. The coffee one is definitely unique! I enjoyed it a lot. read more
I've never been a fan of bingsu so I'm not sure if I'm biased We arrived as a group of 6 on a Friday late night (around 9:30pm) and it wasn't busy at all, despite having only a few tables. You order via the QR code on the table. They have some nice bingsu flavours and the bingsu itself is layered and sweet. They also top it off with a scoop of Kawartha ice cream. I'm also not a fan of Kawartha, so... it was alright. I ordered a mango bingsu with grape ice cream but apparently they ran out, so we subbed for strawberry instead, which was just ok. Some of the mango pieces were also a bit sour still so it wasn't the best. They do have some boardgames available if you'd like to play. read more

If you are trying to find Cafe Bene on google maps, you'll see bene 32 instead. I'm guessing they've just changed their name (and probable management). Still the same ol' on the inside. Had myself a slice of double chocolate cake and yuzu Korean tea, neither of which are made in house, but still good nonetheless. Yuzu tea was basically a drink mix you can get from most supermarkets. They do give you a good amount of the mix so it does come fairly sweet. Best to add a few rounds of hot water to dilute it as you drink away. Chocolate cake was quite chocolatey and dense. Happy that it wasn't too sweet. Cake slice was a good size for sharing. Having it all to yourself might be a bit overwhelming but doable. read more
