My husband and I enjoy scones, and we sometimes have them with iced lattes or other cold drinks. We have dined here one time, but we usually select takeout as our dining option. The restaurant maintains excellent standards for both food and packaging. read more

It's been a very long time since I found this awesome Cafe. I was worried about this place because the plaza decided to let Starbucks move in within plain view of this lovely shop. Nice to know that it is still going strong with delightful pastries and, AND now BEANS!!! All you slow pour, french press or Aeropress geeks like me get over here and grab a bag. read more

Caffeine - Beans!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A lovely cafe. They make a very good croissant which is hard to find. Coffee and food very good. The store is clean and music kept at a low volume not objectionable. The service friendly and helpful. I love promoting a local worthy of the support. read more

Got a pistachio croissant and a chocolate hazelnut croissant. Both have a perfect ratio of cream to bread that it's neither dry nor greasy. The exterior also is flaky and the bread is very fresh. However the old lady that runs the shop looks really angry. Also as a side note, the plaza also happens to be a g2 driving test center. Be careful on the road as some drivers may be very inexperienced. read more

I have been wanting to try this place as I kept seeing it around. Finally tried it today with a friend and it didn't disappoint. It's a gem in the neighborhood. It's a small Cafe. It was still early and quiet when we went and we were greeted by the guy who works there I am assuming he is the owner as he is a one man show. The smashed avocado butter croissant was a perfect combination with cream cheese. The Muscle Flex sandwich was pretty good. It comes in neat packaging and good enough for lunch. The matcha drink and the pistachio mocha was good too just need a lot of stirring to blend ingredients. Nice Ambience, good customer service and good food. Worth to try. read more

Breakfast Sandwiches are really good, they taste amazing. They were super friendly and the place is comfy read more

It's been less than a year and what was once a tiny coffee shop sharing a space with a convenience store has blossomed into a full fledged cafe/event space. I hosted a small, intimate event here and had them cater. Justin and Sophia were an absolute pleasure to work with. They gave us different options and worked within our group's budget. We were allowed to move the furniture to accommodate our guests. We asked for the lights to be dimmed, we decorated the tables with candles and asked for the faux fireplace to be turned on; it was a very cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service superb. I appreciated that they treated our guests as warmly as they treat their regular customers: like old friends. Everyone in our party had an excellent time. We would not hesitate doing another event here. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for events showcasing local artists and musicians. read more

Cute cafe with some tables and couches. Unique mix of sandwiches, soups and espressos and teas. Got tea (Tea square brand) and my friend and I shared an Italian croissant and brie and cranberry croissant. Good flavours and so fresh and flaky. I never had a croissant quite like these ones, it's not soft and chewy like the ones in the store, it's more crunchy and crispy. Excellent service! Very friendly and great hospitality! read more

So we decided to get some take out lunch, well that's our only choice during this pandemic. So we stopped off at Caffeine and got the meatless meatball sandwich on focaccia, it was absolutely delicious the perfect amount of heat, and great fresh toppings. This isn't a small one either it's rather filling. We also got the Greek salad which we will need to eat for dinner cause we are just too full at the moment. The coffee was solid also. The owners are great and super friendly service. Looking forward to trying more stuff of this menu! read more

Power salad was really tasty! My husband, my son and I were in the neighborhood and looking for a healthy option for lunch. We had pesto croissant, smoked salmon sandwich and power salad. The portion of croissant and sandwich was generous and the salad contained a lot of ingredients and delicious. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. read more

Great little cafe near Vic Park and Lawrence. They have excellent coffee and good food. Friendly service too

I absolutely love everything about this hole in a wall coffee shop. I came here for a meeting but if I lived in the area, this place would definitely be my "second home" for where I'll do my work. The ambience of this coffee shop is super chills and laid back. I love how there's a variety of couches and tables where you can come meet with friends or take your laptop out to do some work--they have free wifi! Prices for the food and drinks are reasonably cheap; I could totally see myself camping out here all day. The staff are super friendly and checked to make sure that my friends and I are having an enjoyable experience. I got a bagel with cream cheese and my friend got a stuffed beef patty, which is a beef patty with lettuce, tomato, and cheese--what a way to dress up such a common snack!! If you're in this area, you've gotta come here!! You won't regret it! read more

Cozy little coffee shop at Victoria Park Terrance, Caffeine is perfect name for one, surprised that it hasnt been taken sooner. The shop has been there for a few years now according to the owner (Justin) but they been part of a convenience store for most of that. They only recently expanded to it current look. (4 weeks ago) Despite not being a big location, it looks roomy and the various sitting like from relaxing chairs near the front to couchs and even tables if you want sit down and eat. I didnt actually eat, I just had an americano coffee (double shot) because I needed the kick to wake me and it was really good coffee. A place I would be a regular if I was closer to area. Props to Justin and his service too, friendly guy, able to talk to people and well its the little things that make the experience better. It could be best coffee in world but if people making it are meserable, you may not visit as often but this definetly wasnt the case. You get both here, good coffee and good service, Got to try the food someday read more

Friendly owner. The inferior isn't great, a bit too cluttered. Too much like a community rec room or basement. Latte was not good at all. read more

I am surprised at such a fancy coffee shop in that plaza. The coffee shop is like a coffee shop in downtown, but the prices are sill Scarborough price. It is wonderful! Coffee tastes good and baking goods are very good. They are baking there. read more

The owner that works here is very lovely, and very nice. The food here is great. Before the pandemic my fiancee and i would sometimes come here to have lunch. We always loved the sandwiches and i liked the idea that i can have that sandwich turned into a salad. I love the renovation they did during the pandemic. The place looks really great! Would definitely recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Ordered 2 coffee, and two breakfast croissant sandwich for me and bf. The croissant was very tasty but the size is tiny....so it's quite expensive for the size. I would like to return but I probably will need to order two just for myself and it would be too expensive for breakfast :( read more

This is a great coffee place! The owners attend you when you come in. There is a wonderful selections of sandwiches, snacks, hot chocolate, cold drinks, cookies, and of course coffee. There is a nice environment, comfortable couches and a great place to sit do some work or just spend time. Overall I had a great time while here. I will be back. read more

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this cafe. The decor looks a little dated and it doesn't have the cozy vibe but as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a guy at the counter. He was friendly, the service was quick and he was so accommodating with my orders. They had scones (I think they're homemade?) and when I bought one, I was expecting it to be mediocre however it turned out to be pretty good which was a pleasant surprise! I'll totally come back again. read more

The owners of this establishment put their heart and soul into every aspect of this place. You can always count on friendly and easy going service. One thing that is really worth noting is how fresh everything has been each time I've been there. Almost everything on the menu is pretty healthy- a super good lunch option if you have to go back to work and you don't want to feel tired after you eat! They are getting busier and have a limited staff (just the two owners) so if you are in a super rush try calling ahead... But always a good sign when a place is busy! I've seen a few bad comments about the décor.....I think it's adorable in there.. a lot of personality... It's always good to support the local "little guys" and this place is much deserving. read more

just went to see Justin this morning to buy chocolate croissants, almond croissants and strawberry croissants, Believe me it is the best patisserie in town, beat the French Guys ! Justin will welcome you with a warm smile on top of the yummy goodies, sandwiches and take aways ! so support our local shops and cafés ! eat and smile ! Best Happy Holidays Pegy read more

Great relaxing atmosphere. Welcoming people behind the counter. Love the decor. Good coffee. Avocado and cucumber bagel has good flavour. Good for a casual date, chilling with friends or you just want to spend some time alone with a book or your laptop. read more

A little bit of a hidden gem, especially when you just want to sneak away for the lunch hour, and find yourself with a drink on the sofa. Service is friendly and welcoming. I would come back as it has a cozy vibe that I like and a good selection of drinks. Next time will be my third time and I will try their coffee/latte and a baked good. Feels good to support a local cafe! :) read more

Stumbled upon this place while waiting for my cousin to do her G1 test. Cute little cafe with lots of comfortable seating. It's gives a quiet atmosphere, would totally chill here on a nice afternoon! I ordered an americano and a muscle flex sandwich (chicken breast, avocado chickpea spread, roasted peppers and pesto). Americano was great! Very flavourful and smooth :) sandwich was pretty standard and a good size for lunch! Would definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

Came here for a quick breakfast. 1 Mocha, 1 latte, 2 eggs over easy 2 sausage english muffin and an Italian croissant. Under $20. ...drinks ok. ...sausage (one)over done dry leathery. (Look at pic) ...egg was good ...salad taste fresh ...croissant with mozzarella cheese cold The odd part was that other customers were served with a plate. I want to support these small places but if it's different with ever customer and no better then a fast food joint. Sorry. Say this quickly 10x... Red leather, yellow leather. read more

I'm actually surprised by the positive reviews listed below. It may be the owners friends he's a nice guy. I really wanted to like this place as it gives a chill vibe but it just didn't do it for me. The interior design doesn't make you want to stay for too long. Behind the cash the area is cluttered and messy due to that I didn't feel comfortable eating from there because of it. The lattes we ordered were not good. I am a bit of a coffee snob and appreciate good coffee, so seeing as I can make a better latte at home I won't be coming back. read more

First visit here since moving to the area and we loved it! Came just for lunch and had a delicious Moroccan vegetable and chickpea soup. They have quite a few vegan options which is a huge plus for me!! My girls each got a meatball sub on pretzel bread and said it was really good. They also enjoyed their watermelon lemonade. We will definitely be back! Lots of places to sit from couches too tables where you can enjoy your lunch. Very friendly owner and staff. read more

I had my order delivered through the Just Eat app, and had I not googled the place, I would have thought that my food must have come from some chic place at the Shops at Don Mills, not from a little place at the Victoria Terrace plaza (within a convenience store, no less!) I used to work at an upscale bakery in Rosedale, and I have been craving a good croissant sandwich since I stopped working... And man, I got some good ones here! The minimum needed for my order was $20, and I got a hot pizza sandwich, red potato salad croissant, ham and cheese croissant, 2 Jamaican patties and an organic chai latte plus 15% tip for around $26... A TON of food. And it was GOOOOOD. Here I am, the morning after, craving it again. Except I will drive over and check it out to avoid having to order that much food again... I don't have my sister with me today to share with. read more

I was a little hesitant to head in, since a bistro inside a convenience store isn't generally a sign of good food. Wow was I ever wrong! I had an iced latte and a wrap, and it was beyond amazing. The owner was so extremely friendly, and you can tell they take pride in the food they serve. I thought getting a little chocolate with my meal was such a fantastic touch too! Shame I don't live closer or else I'd be there daily. read more

Great 30 seat cafe. Coffee, sandwiches (including breakfast sandwiches), salads, sweets. Friendly service.

So pleasantly surprised by how good this place is. So far I've tried their coffee with pistachio syrup, croissant, and snack sandwich. Their hot beverages come with a free little chocolate! The snack sandwich was surprisingly delicious and the perfect amount of food for a light lunch. They have really interesting options that I'm looking forward to trying, such as their coconut latte and lavender london fog. The people who work there are really nice which is a plus. read more

Amazing place to just get a drink at! They have an amazing interior setup with nice art paintings and their lavender lemonade is amazing!!

The wrap I had there was awesome! Will definitely stop by again when I am on that plaza. It's a coffee shop/bistro paired with a convenience store. The quality of food and service is way beyond expectations in the coffee shop! read more

Friendly service with good prices for breakfast and lunch and hot drinks. I appreciate the warm welcome considering this cafe is located in an area where there are line ups of irritated people waiting for the drive test centre and visa application centre. Props to the guy for his great service. The pumpkin spice chai latte is excellent and they do have almond milk which is awesome. My boyfriend had a spicy breakfast omelette sandwich which was good. There is seating area in this cafe as well and there's a lot of artwork by local artists. They also have healthy alternatives for snacks. read more

I love this place, I live in Ajax now but still come back for their matcha green latte and all the amazingly delicious fare they offer. Never disappointed - hands down one of my favourite coffee places in TO read more

What can I say? Delicious breakfast/lunch combo made on spot, reasonable price, neatly decorated ambiance. The owner is extremely friendly. It's a must-go if you're around in places like the DriveTest Centre or Visa Office. read more

I've been here a few times and it's my go-to coffee place if I'm in the area. SERVICE = AWESOME! Super friendly owner who really tries to get to know all his customers. You don't really see that kind of service anymore. AMBIENCE = Cute welcoming decor. Good for those who want to bring their laptops and get some work done. Free wifi is good. DRINKS = I've had a few of their lattes and specialty drinks. They're pretty decent and have some unique flavors (like Bounty Coconut Latte). Have a loyalty card with drink purchases and you also get a little chocolate with it. FOOD = Great variety of food, unlike other coffee places that only serve pastries. They have all day breakfast, sandwiches, salads, freshly baked croissants with interesting ingredient pairings inside (like apple, honey, peanut butter, bananas, etc). LOCATION = I wish for their sake the coffee shop was in a different location. It's in the Victoria Terrace plaza with foot traffic from a certain type of clientele that wouldn't necessarily appreciate what this establishment offers. Spread the word and come support this coffee shop! read more

they have an awesome menu and genuinely kind staff. i got two croissants (one sweet and one salty) plus an iced coffee for like $10 after taxes. that was back in March and i would totally visit again read more

I've been to this place two times now I love it. It's hard in today's world to find people who love what they do and are friendly and outgoing like these two owners are. I've only had bagels there but after having it from there I'm never having it from anywhere else. Their bagels are made the way they should be. I also love the feel of the place because they make you feel at home. read more
