Blue ocean latte
Carol Y.

Popped by for an afternoon caffeine fix! This little cafe nestled on a side street near Yonge & Sheppard can be easily missed if you aren't looking for it, but the espresso roast was lovely! The espresso was mellow, balanced, and perfectly complemented the sweet blue syrup & milk in the latte (also, how aesthetic was this?!). It was busier than expected even for a weekday, so I'd recommend it as a cafe for meet ups rather than to work (tables aren't that large).

Iced vanilla latte (L) and Einspanner (R)

Dropped by Cafe Inside on a Sunday afternoon and it was bustling! They are located a bit north of Sheppard-Yonge on a small street so easy to get to. The cafe is a bit quaint and has 20 or so seats so was happy we found a seat. We ordered a Einspanner (which only comes iced) and an Iced Vanilla Latte. They gave us a buzzer and we found a seat. Drinks were made really quickly which was nice! The Einspanner tasted like an iced coffee with a sweet cream cold foam on top. If was good and quite a large cup, but I prefer the einspanner from Forest Cafe more as it has a nice strong hazelnut taste. The iced vanilla latte was textbook, and perfect amount of sweetness. Staff were friendly and not intrusive at all. Solid cafe to add to rotation in the North York area!

Came here from a friend's recommendation to try the macarons. The macarons here were hands down some of the best I've ever had! Not only are they cutely shaped, but they are so flavourful. The standouts for me were the coffee and pistachio flavoured macarons. I also tried the blue ocean latte, which was pretty good. The coffee had a distinct taste and honestly tasted better than Starbucks in my humble opinion. Inside it is a bit small and crowded, so keep that in mind if you're planning to sit inside.

Cafe Inside was on my list for a while so I was happy to try it finally! I got the sweet potato latte and tried the earl grey chocolate macaron. The weet potato latte was okay, they used the yellow sweet potato (compared to usually purple) which was a nice touch. There were chunks of sweet potato and good flavour but for $6.50 it wasn't anything special. The macaron was also A-OK as it was chewy though a bit dry. I do appreciate the aesthetics of this cafe and the beautiful work space inside. A lot of people were talking and working on their laptop so this place is definitely popping!

Blue ocean latté

Café Inside is a cute and cozy Korean cafe located at Yonge & Sheppard! They serve various drinks and desserts such as cute flower macarons. I ordered their blue ocean latté and it was perfectly balanced! I also got their black sesame flower macaron and it was delicious!! You can really taste the black sesame and love the thick filling! I would highly suggest visiting this cafe if you are in the area or looking for a place to chill & study!! It is very spacious and they have so many cute plants around the store.

Quiet cafe in North York. Easy to find a spot to sit and do some work during the workday. Their macarons are such an eye candy and a nice treat on top of a latte. I don't know why they didn't decide to turn on the white noise machine until much later, as our conversation likely carried throughout the room. I could find a plug near the front table though I don't think it's across all the spots. Paid street parking nearby and easily accessible by subway.

I visited Cafe Inside and enjoyed a good cup of coffee in a cozy setting. The cafe has a rather unassuming exterior, with black and white signs showing the name of the restaurant. The large window outside didn't help people see inside as there was a curtain blocking the view. It was cozy inside, with enough space to move around. Reading the menu was tricky because it was in fine print and positioned well below eye level at the ordering counter. For those who need to review the menu, I suggest checking the one printed on the wall on the way to the counter. Iced Americano: The drink was well made, with none of the unpleasant bitterness often found in coffee. I also personally loved that they had plastic straws available for sipping. The overall ambiance of the cafe was calm and peaceful, and I enjoyed my stay here. I would not mind visiting again to try some of their other drinks and enjoy a lazy afternoon with my friends.

I've tried the matcha macaron and it's very delicious! It is very aesthetic as you can see in the picture and the filling is thick! At the time there was only 2 options for macarons. I believe it was just chocolate and matcha. It would be nice if they had more!

Dumas

I went here with a friend to hang out. The place is nice and cozy with plenty of tables. At the time we went, the cafe was quite busy. Luckily we were able to get a table. I ordered an americano with a medium roast beans while my friend got a green tea latte. We also decided to share a small cake, Dumas cake - thin layer of cake topped with chocolate and white chocolate mousse, enveloped with chocolate glaze. On the outside, there are pistachio and hazelnuts. The cake was too sweet in my opinion. The first couple of bites were okay, but then it became harder to finish. They offer other cakes and macarons which I didn't get to try but did look interesting, and also Bingsu, which is a shaved ice with a variety of topping options. I would definitely come back to try the bingsu and macarons. P.s. they only took cash or debit card

My go to korean cafe at yonge and sheppard. Always grab their vanilla iced latte's and its right on the spot.

Flower Shaped Macarons
Raien L.

I was in the North York area so I decided to drop by Cafe Inside. It's a cute little cafe under a condo. It has a few tables for people to enjoy their drinks and desserts. I ended up getting half a dozen of the pretty flower shaped macarons. My favourite flavour was the coffee macaron. Checkout my IG Foodie account @wanderandeatwithme for more foodie adventures.

Peach-Ade, Iced Lemon, macarons
Riaria C.

A lovely relaxing Cafe to hang out in and do some work! I particularly like their decor full of plants. The drinks are the standout here. I got a Peach Ade and Iced Lemon. Both were very refreshing with touches of garnish just to brighten your day with some beauty. I will have to come back on a day that isn't as hot to try the coffee. They have a selection of cute pastries and mini cakes if you want a little treat. The macarons are flower shaped and have so much filling! My favorite flavor out of the ones I got was black sesame. Pistachio had a light nutty flavor and Earl Grey tasted mostly of chocolate. Note!!! They have a rule for 1 drink per person dining in. You should also return your tray of glassware/plates back to the front counter. They have a sign for returns there. I'm sure the ladies will still pick up after you if you leave it at the table, but when I see a cafe with signs like that I just respect their preference for helping to keep the place neat.

Blueberry Cheessecake

Double Double Coffee (Iced) - Strong coffee taste (not diluted at all) and overly sweet either! - I'd definitely come back to try more of their coffee :) Yoghurt Ade - So pretty! - The yoghurt is yakult I think - Tastes like one of those fizzy asian soda candies Blueberry Cheesecake - The waitress gave me a pretty big chunk so I was happy LOL - Overall pretty good!! I found the blueberry sauce and the crust a little thick but I just scraped off the extra blueberry sauce :) Other If you're looking for a study spot around the area, I think this is the perfect place. I've passed by a few times and looking in, there's usually not a lot of people sitting inside, so it's definitely quiet enough that you can just take out your laptop, sit for a few hours and get some work done with their free wifi. There's also some patio seating if you prefer sitting outside. Overall, I definitely wanna come back another day and study here while I try more of their food (esp their macarons - they're really pretty and shaped into a flower)!

The ade drinks are delicious and the macarons are a hit gift. Usually a little crowded inside but otherwise a great place to sit.

Back again for another visit after a little while! They've partnered with LSDR for a fun new…read morerefresher drink I was interested in trying. Confirming it was fun and it was tasty. I love ginger beverages- it wasn't overpowering here, I mostly tasted the kiwi and sparkling lemonade. It was busy in there but we still got our orders and drinks quickly, I appreciate how fast the service was. My friend got one of their banana bread drinks - if you like the taste of hojicha, this was particularly strong which I personally enjoyed! Love how the store also has sections where it is like a little market selling local goods and always fun to see the dogs that are sitting outside. The prices are a little expensive (my refresher before tax was $7.5) but typical for what you'd pay in Toronto for a fun drink, from what I've seen.

I think this is one of the cutest coffee shops in Toronto with a cozy, artsy atmosphere. It does…read moreget busy every time I visit, but there's actually a good amount of seating inside if you're able to snag a spot. I'd absolutely come here to get some work done if I was able to get a seat. One thing I really love is that they sell handmade goods from local artists and host craft nights, it feels very community driven and adds such a fun, unique touch to the café. Drinks I tried: Maple Goguma Latte - Slightly nutty, lightly sweet, and super comforting. I added a shot of espresso, which made it perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Dalgona Latte - A really fun drink with great texture. Just make sure to stir it well since the sweetness settles at the bottom. They're known for their creative, seasonal drink menu, and I'm already excited to come back to try what they release next season. Definitely a must-visit if you love cozy cafés, unique drinks, and supporting local artists.
