Had some time in scenic downtown London, so I decided to grab a coffee at the first place I saw…read more The first place I saw was Commonwealth Coffee. It is a bright and spacious coffee house, obviously very popular with the Western University students. They also have sandwiches, which I did not try, but they have a good selection. B served me, and she was friendly and efficient. They make their own doughnuts and loaves. I got an apple doughnut. It was filled with apple filling, some cinnamon icing on top, and it was fresh and not heavy. As a tourist, I appreciated not feeling rushed. A very pleasant place to have a coffee and pastry, even if you're not a student.

You can tell everything is made in-house, which is impressive given their wide range of offerings:…read morequiches, sandwiches, cookies, muffins; they have it all. The ingredients are high quality, and the flavours are thoughtfully developed. Pink lemonades are often too sweet, but this one was perfectly balanced. The lemon square was nicely tart, the quiche had generous chunks of feta, and the muffin had that rich, buttery flavour you only get from homemade baked goods. Service was bubbly and helpful, and the interior was quaint. There's just enough seating outside, with a setup that lets you choose between sun or shade. Special mention for offering the London Fog iced; my first time trying it, and it is now my new go-to. Prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the quality. Easily the best coffee shop I've tried in London so far.

okay so, my girlfriend and I have given this place multiple chances but here's the thing... we…read moreusually order a matcha and an iced coffee, I like it black and she likes it with oat milk. every time she orders the matcha it's a gamble on how much damn milk They make it with (typically 90% milk) doesn't matter which server makes it. On top of that, requesting light milk doesn't seem to resonate with the server or change the outcome of the drink. We like the outside patio but it's usually just pestering with bees bc of their open lid garbage can sitting directly in the middle of the patio. So although I want to give this place a good review and rating, it seems quite difficult to do so. P.S. why do they serve jamaican patties?

During our holiday visit to London, our family recommended the Happiness Café. So one rainy…read moreafternoon we parked across the street hopped over some road construction and blew thru the doors. The first impression of décor and display, it is clean, intentional, thoughtful and cozy. We perused the menu and I decided on the fig and cheese croissant, accompanied by an espresso martini. We found our seats at a table and I could not take my eyes off the artistic desserts on display. One in particular was a tree ornament, made of cake, it was shiny and beautiful, almost too pretty too eat. Almost. My only regret is that I didn't enjoy one, but I was too full after lunch. Our meals were delivered to our table and even though I wasn't very hungry when we arrived, the look and smell of the food fueled my appetite. My croissant creation was filled with fresh ingredients and the decadent combination of savory and sweet hit the spot. The espresso martini was wonderful, even my picky husband liked it. To our delight, we had the opportunity to meet the owners, a husband and wife team. Both very stylish, with warm smiles and welcoming conversation. The wife is the pastry chef, I had to wonder if she ever had time to sleep considering the array of beautiful desserts on display and what it must take to perfect them, individually. We look forward to returning on our next visit to London hopefully during the warmer months to enjoy their patio, and THIS time, dessert first! And maybe second! Now that we are back home in Los Angeles, I find myself wishing we had a Happiness Café. I was in Beverly Hills yesterday at the Rodeo Collection and I visited a café with hopes that it might compare, but it was missing the warmth and artistry of Happiness Café.

It's in the Old East Village, past Adelaide St, and they're really revitalizing this area and I think it's wonderful, this establishment is located in an old warehouse, which was turned into Fire Roasted and the Old East Grocer. I came this afternoon for a Yelp event and I brought my mom. We parked in the back, since there wasn't any parking on the road, which was fine, you just have to pay to park. We walked into the place and Fire Roasted is on the left and the grocers is straight ahead. Smaller café, but there were plenty of tables and chairs available for our small event! I had ordered two small coffees for my mother and myself and we tried the bagel bombs they had, jalapeno, and garlic & bacon, both of which were delicious. I believe all the food items are outsourced, but they are delicious nonetheless. The actual Roasting plant is in the back of the building, I took a walk down to see what it looked like, and it was really interesting to see how they do it. This is such a unique building, and how they've renovated it to help revitalize the whole east end is amazing, bringing in the local business to help this area thrive again. I'll definitely be sure to come back, the ambience is wonderful, and the coffee is delicious.

I think the coffee itself could use some improvements though. Food: My friend had the avo brioche and said it was the most bland sandwich she's ever had. I had a good experience with the ham and cheese brioche though. So if you're deciding between the two, definitely go for the ham and cheese because it has a great basil sauce. Drinks: drip coffee- wasn't really anything special, just tasted like black coffee with no specific notes. ginger latte- a little too spicy, I was expecting it to be infused with ginger taste within the drink, but it seemed to just be the spiciness of the ginger with none of the sweet. pumpkin foam (iced)- this was my favorite of the 3! A good amount of sweetness, enjoyable, I would order this again. I would come back to try their other seasonal drinks. I think that's where they shine. Overall, nothing really blew my mind for the price, but I might come here to get some work done.

**Urgent Custom Cakes For My Friend's Birthday**…read more I was in a bit of a bind trying to find a customized cake shop in London, Canada, for a close friend's birthday. After two weeks of fruitless attempts to contact other shops without a single reply, I was panicking a little bit since my friend's birthday was coming in 2 DAYS!! Then luckily, I stumbled upon Tia Bakery by chance - it felt like a miracle! Even though I'm from the USA, Tia made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. She was amazing, understanding my vision perfectly and creating a cake that was exactly what I wanted. While I didn't get to taste the cake myself, my friend was thrilled with both its appearance and flavor. He said it was delicious and beautifully decorated. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Tia Bakery for anyone in need of a customized cake. Their attention to detail and customer service are top-notch!
