    Beans!!!!
    Shane S.

    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.

    Sandwich packaging.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious croissant!

    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!

    Vegan Meatball sandwich!

    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!

    Stuffed beef patty--so delicious!

    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!

    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

    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.

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.

The line moved quick, even though it wrapped around, we waited for about 20 minutes only. The menu has some cool items, a few fusion dishes and trendy items. Awesome presentation and definitely Instagram worthy. I got the huevos rancheros, it was more like an egg burrito with beans, sauce and potatoes on top. The potatoes were probably my favourite out of everything. It was good but not the traditional you would expect. My friends sadly did not like their eggs benedict. The coffee was also average, not very strong or fragrant. Service was absolutely terrible. Our sever took so long to come, we see him just chatting in the corner. It was hard to flag him down for anything. It was not a nice experience. The menu does have some other cool items I do want to try (pancakes and french toast)... so maybe I will give it another shot if I am in the area one day.

Very friendly service (server was Crystal). Sat outside and still was attended to attentively - typically worried that patio seating gets less attention but that wasn't the case here. The menu excited me as brunch usually is a choice between sweet or savoury, but they have various options with both. Got the Indecisive with the eggs poached medium ( would recommend soft for future or sunny side up). The pistachio latte was yummy but with the matcha pancakes it became too sugary of a meal. Overall a casual yet put together vibe. Great for friends, dates, solo, or family. Washrooms not the cleanest, but the dining area was good. Did notice a few more birds than typical patios (tried to eat our scraps as we were waiting for the bill).

However, when i got off the elevator, there were 3 hosts at the stand, heads down or when their heads were up, they were talking to each other just total ignoring me. Dont even acknowledged me a tiny bit. I ended up just ignoring them back and walk in as my party was already here. I didnt exactly know where they were seated, ao i had to look around. Not the best experience. Food wise -- nothing on the menu stood out. But I wouldn't say we picked this spot for their food. Drinks were at best mid for the price. Could definitely get a nice fancy cocktail at that price point. Service was lacking, had to constantly look for our server. Table beside us was a couple whom were also not happy. But again, come for the views.

This place looks like a fairly typical breakfast spot, offering a good amount of seating, large menus for both breakfast and Lunch, and of course, a ton of different pancake options! I'm usually not someone who orders temporary menu items or specials, but the second I saw the S'More Toffee Lava Pancakes I almost had a heart attack, so of course, I ordered the stupid pancakes to avoid such an problem. The food didn't take too long to come out, and they looked even better in person than they did in the menu. Maybe I'm just a little over enthusiastic about these pancakes, but I can pretty confidently say these may of been the best pancakes I've ever had. They were big, fluffy, and this plate did not skimp on the toppings at all. Overall, Stacked Pancake & Breakfast has definitely become a go-to spot for me when returning to Toronto. The food here was phenomenal and even though it took us almost 30 minutes for someone to give us a bill and let us pay, the pancakes were too good for me to get hung up on that. If you need some breakfast in the Queen/Spadina area, this is the place to go!
