    Brunch
    Tiff E.

    Like it's other locations, Cafe Landwer delivers good presentations! The dishes were fresh and delicious, also very nice on picture, service was alright, we didn't make reservations for a Monday Lunchtime, one of the servers told us to sign up for wait list, while another one took us right in as soon as he saw us LOL... But cute interior good lightings and brunch ambiance.

    London Fog

    We came here on a whim around lunch time. It was a pretty large establishment when we walked inside, and it was packed. There was a tablet by the door so we just put our names on the wait list. We waited for a couple minutes before we got seated, so wait time wasn't too bad. I really liked the ambiance and design inside. Originally I wanted to get a tiramisu, but the waiter told me that they were already sold out. It was around 11:30 in the morning and they were already out of tiramisu? I was so disappointed, but I knew that I had to come back because I'm sure their tiramisu was that good. For drinks, we got a London Fog with oat milk and I got an Iced Latte with oat milk. Both drinks were good, the oat milk blended well with the espresso. It was rich yet creamy. I forgot what exactly my boyfriend ordered. But it had eggplant. I think it might've been the Sabbich Bowl. His entree was very good, it was flavorful and savory. Since I had my heart set on the tiramisu and something along those lines, I just ordered the Belgian Waffle. That was pretty good too, the waffle texture was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. All the components were great, I loved the sliced bananas and nutella with the waffle. There were so many different textures on this dessert plate but it came together so well. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. Lastly, service was excellent. I was actually impressed. Though they were very busy and the staff were running around the place for a good couple minutes, we got seated quickly. Our server was awesome, he was helpful and funny. We were taken care of and had a pleasant experience. This was actually my last meal before heading to the airport, so I'm happy that my trip ended on a good note. I look forward to coming back again and trying other things on their menu, and the tiramisu!

    Stopped by this cafe after walking around Toronto with some friends. They have a good deal in the afternoon where you can get any coffee and pastry for 7 dollars. The drinks and cocktails are all 7 dollars as well which was listed outside on a sign. My friends ordered coffee and pastries for 7 dollars and I got a croissant and red sangria. For the price this place was good and the service was decent. A lot of people were working or meeting up with people in this location.

    Mediterranean omelette

    Went on a Sunday morning, they were very busy so the waiters were slow. The kebabs shakshuka was so so, meat was more of a strong flavour like lamb taste, the Mediterranean omelette was good. Breads are made fresh and delicious. Cappuccino was really nice and creamy. English breakfast tea was too light, stronger would be much better.

    Iced Matcha Latte

    It's a perfect spot for your warm weekends! They have indoor sitting and outdoor sitting for you to enjoy! It's was a very hot day when i visited so i only ordered Iced Matcha Latte! I will definitely recommend to try this, it was amazing :) Service wise i will say they are good. I will say 7/10.

    Cafe Landwer is always a reliable spot. The menu is extensive with lots of choices. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space has a nice café feel. Overall, it makes for a solid default option when you want a dependable meal in the area.

    I had searched for a nearby breakfast cafe in yelp and came across Cafe Landwer. I read through some of the feedback and thought I'd try it out myself. I ordered the Merguez Shashaka and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I also ordered an OJ and Espresso. Team are friendly and service is great!

    Halloumi Shakshouka

    Came in at 10 on a Sunday and seated quickly but it's crowded. Halloumi Shakshouka was amazing. Service was quick and attentive with waiters and manager both checking.

    Aperol Spritz
    Terry C.

    Located at the corner of Front St and Scott St across from Berzcy Park, even though the address is Yonge St. It was late afternoon so not busy. We were immediately seated on the outdoor patio. A Mediterranean place. They have brunch which I hear is good, pastries, various drinks and coffees, pizza, burgers, pastas and Mediterranean options. Service was attentive and friendly. We had: Sharwarma sandwich: 4/5 - this was nicely prepared. The chicken was tender and you can taste all the various sauces and ingredients individually. Served with a basic salad which had fresh. Chicken skewer main: 3/5. The chicken in its own didn't have much flavour. You needed the sauce to help it along. The rice was flaky but nothing exceptional. Kofta skewer main: 2.5/5. The beef and lamb ground meat texture was a bit rough. Needed more seasoning. Like the chicken, it needed the sauce to improve it. Aperol spritz - 4/5. Nicely done. Serving sizes were reasonable. Reasonable prices.

    Mediterranean Sea Bass with Mujaddara & Labneh

    This Yonge & Front location is Cafe Landwer's newest location. The interior has a more retro diner look compared to the other locations, but still with the same bright and casual ambience. There are patio seatings outside in the summer, with good view of the park nearby. The menu is the same as in all other locations. Excellent food as usual - everything is delicious. They're most famous for their shakshouka, bread, and breakfast / brunch items, but other items on the menu are also equally good (fish, sabich bowl, falafels, etc.). There are lots of vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based options. Their vegan omelette (made of quinoa and chickpea flour) is one of my favourite items to get here. It comes as part of Farmer's Breakfast (if you ask to make it vegan), or it can be ordered as a stand-alone item. The sides are also really good - mujaddra (rice with lentils and spices), rice (with carrots, almonds, and caramelized onions), green vegetables (freshly cooked broccoli, green beans, and spinach), side salad, chopped salad, etc. Everything is fresh.

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing. A cosmopolitan menu of diverse items from many different cuisines. - Baja Caesar Salad - baby romaine, corn, caesar dressing, agave bacon, croutons, grana padano, chili spice. This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready. Atmosphere (4.75/5) - you really cannot top the view from Kost. It has multiple look out areas besides the patio dining area by the infinity pool. They have a raised photo pedestal which is ideal to take pictures with the Tower, Rogers Centre and lake in the background. They also have some trendy couches and sitting areas as well. The interior dining area is also pretty good with window views outside and a California vibe to it. Overall (4/5) - Yes, the food is on the average side for the price. However, it really is a great atmosphere for dining, even if sitting inside. It is a bucket list destination at a minimum and worth a repeat imo.

They definitely could've used some more seasoning. The pancakes were good with maple syrup- I think the fruit topping was delicious. The pancakes themselves were a little on the drier side but the fruit made them tastier. The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant definitely made the experience worth it.
