The pawn shops and thrift shops are disappearing and the cafes with avocado toast and Nutella waffles are showing up. Go now before the place is ruined. Cafe Central keeps a low-key vibe with friendly service, great cofffee, drinks, brunch and breakfast items, cookies, and treats, lots of natural light, vintage furniture and happy green plants everywhere. There's also Wi-Fi and tables so you can work here as well. The vibe here is chill but happy.

I am so charmed by this wonderful cafe…read more In terms of food, we had: pastries, coffee, smoothie, salad, and a kids faux chicken nugget meal. The toy included with the kid's meal was a sweet touch. All non-dairy milks were included in the price as well, love that. Everything was tasty and affordable. The service was impeccable. Bilingual, friendly, and patient. A real contrast to the cold shoulder we got at Cafe Nevé in the Plateau. My three year old had a great time playing with the toys downstairs. The play lounge is thoughtfully arranged so child-minders can sit, eat, and converse alongside their charges. I will say some of the seating could do with a good cleaning though. Even the other patrons were friendly; we had two positive interactions downstairs. If you're looking for a place that is welcoming to your kids instead of looking at them disdainfully, this is it!

The husband and I visited Café Lazio for a late breakfast last weekend and immediately fell in love…read morewith the place. What a relief it is to finally have a great independent coffee shop/café so close to home. This delightful new addition to the South Shore opened about a year ago and has already become one of our favourites. Being a small family-run business, we were welcomed with so much warmth and hospitality that we did not want to leave. Inside it is warm and cozy with mismatched tables and chairs, coffee-shop blackboards and charming decor, great for getting some work done or catching up with family and friends. We ordered a chicken panini, mocha and cappuccino. The chicken panini was one of the best I have ever had - a generous size full of flavour and fresh ingredients, served alongside house potatoes - delicious! The owner himself prepares all the meals and from the big smile on his face, it is obvious to see he does so with so much love and passion. Being an Italian coffee shop, it is no doubt that the drinks were also spot-on - I just wish the cups were larger as for the price, they were a little on the small side. Seeing the rest of the menu and the talent of the owner & chef, we have already decided to return again for lunch/dinner. For fresh homemade food, lovely atmosphere and exceptional hospitality - Café Lazio is the place!

Best chai in the southwest, hands down!…read more Their vibe is elevated, but not in a pretentious way, which I appreciate. It's spacious, nice natural light, variety seating and great music selection and at a reasonable volume, compared to most places. Sometimes in a place like this, the bathroom doesn't match, but gratefully, it did and includes a baby changing station and the best picture I've seen in a washroom in a long time. Also, they invest in good hand soap. That's an easy thing to skimp on, but they thought of the details. The service is above average, in terms of at least smiling and being happy to take your order. Unfortunately, the bar is that low these days, but they're above it, which is a pleasant and unexpected surprise. There's a couple opportunities that can be reworked, but my main thing is accurate hours on sites where their business is listed. Nothing is worst than showing up at an establishment, thinking you have a couple hours, but they actually close in 30 minutes. Nonetheless, it's still my go to place to get some work done in the Southwest! P.S. They also serve food beyond pastries, but I haven't tried them yet. The chai is house made and haven't gotten past it to try the other options on the menu.
