Friendly staff who were able to show me their dairy free options! Very clean location!

Great Vibe, Disappointing Espresso (from an ex-Barista)…read moreStepped into this spot looking to grab some genuinely good coffee. As an ex-barista, I'm fussy--I hate spending money and not getting a quality product. Unfortunately, the coffee was a swing and a miss. I ordered one iced latte and one hot latte. In both drinks, the espresso was burnt. I actually watched the barista pulling the shots, and I could tell immediately. To make matters worse, the hot drink was barely a latte; it was essentially a cappuccino based on the absurd amount of foam on top. Plus, the milk itself was ruined. There's a certain temperature and texture for steaming milk, and this was clearly burnt milk that had been frothed way too aggressively. Aesthetically, the café is lovely--it's cute and a great spot to work from home. My recommendation? Skip the espresso drinks. Maybe try the matcha or a pastry instead. I definitely won't be back for the coffee.

I tried the matcha drop, which was a bit on the pricey side (aren't they all these days) and tasted very mild. Overall, I'd give this spot another try for their espresso based drinks, maybe that would be better.

Thankfully, the vanilla bean latte absolutely did the job--and it was genuinely delicious too. The house blend espresso was smooth and creamy, with a rich chocolatey note without tasting overly roasted, exactly the way I like it. The vanilla bean flavour was also really pleasant, adding just the right amount of sweetness and aroma without overpowering the coffee. All in all, it was a near-perfect latte. The only downside was the price--I paid about $9 for a large with three shots, which felt a bit steep. Still, it was a very satisfying cup of java. I also appreciated the fact that it is doggo friendly as it has a jar of treats for your pups. I'll bring little morty over sometimes.

I finally visited Bartholomew Bakery, and it lived up to every bit of the hype. The place has such…read morea hip, vibrant energy, and even though it was quite crowded, the staff remained incredibly friendly and welcoming. I decided to take home several of their most recommended items, and after trying everything, I completely understand why this spot is a local favorite. The Turkey and Swiss sandwich was my first choice, and while the price of 13.00 dollars felt a bit steep at first glance, the quality of the ingredients and the perfect execution made it worth every cent. It was easily one of the most satisfying sandwiches I've had in a long time. The pastries were equally impressive; the pistachio croissant was beautifully flaky with a rich filling, and the espresso cruffin provided a bold, aromatic punch that coffee lovers will absolutely adore. To top it all off, the tiramisu was velvety and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just pure indulgence. It is rare to find a bakery where every single item is a winner, but Bartholomew Bakery manages to deliver on both flavor and atmosphere. If you appreciate artisanal baking and a great vibe, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu soon!

It is a LONG wait if you come to purchase in person (aka not a pickup order). HIGHLY RECOMMEND pickup option. We waited 45-60 mins on a rainy day. It is super popular! Some items were sold out due to popularity, but honestly not worth the hype. It is good pastries and a bit more unique due to their flavor combinations, but the execution feels rushed and dry. We had their croissants, which should be freshly made, but somehow it was dry, stale, and the only thing saving it was the filling. Not sure what happened as I've heard good things about it. Very much a swing and a miss. If we try it again, will definitely try to order for a pickup. Their sandwiches were much better, but there is standing room only in the cafe so its a pickup and go place. It is in an industrial location, so driving and parking is out of the way. For the location, it probably is the better option around (aka Vaughan), but either a bit west or east, there are better options without the long wait times. Try it at least once though, and try at least one of every item, you might find something you like, for me, it was their sandwiches, even though I was there for their pastries.

They offer pastries, drinks and tteokobbi as well. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. I got the Oreo Bingsu, Black sesame Bingsu, Strawberry Matcha latte, and Peach Ade. My favourite definitely has to be the Black sesame! It was really flavourful and came with red bean and mochi toppings. All were super yummy! Oreo bingsu felt like a better version of a Mcflurry. I would love to try their fruit bingsu or croffles next time! Ambiance was casual with a few tables with white and blue modern interior. Easy to find parking, may be chaotic but you will find it! Cups is a great gem added to Vaughan! Great dessert to get after eating or shopping as it's right by vaughan mills.

Lumière Pâtisserie is a Thornhill gem--proof that you don't have to go downtown for great pastries…read more Yes, it's tucked into a suburban plaza off a parking lot, but inside it's light-filled, calm, and smells like heaven. The service is consistently warm, and the pastry case is hard to resist. We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French. Still, this is the kind of place that keeps regulars coming back. We're definitely among them.

We shared the cream & crumb cheesecake (simple, classic, and incredibly creamy!) and tiramichoux (think a tiramisu profiterole - such a fun twist!). Looking forward to my next visit already :)

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

You can tell them your preferred roast and they'll pick the beans based on your preference. They have a wide selection of beans and prices vary based on brand, but they're pretty much between $19-27. I'd definitely pick up some more beans next time I'm in the area! This time I got 42 because I told them I make espresso drinks (eg latte) at home, so they picked something for me. My drink took about 7 minutes and it was full of flavour. It came with some biscoff, so it was a perfect match. They used the Chemex and did a double pour lol The staff told me they recently took over the soup business from a fellow vendor (within the market), so they've been getting busy trying to manage all the orders and customers. There's also these homemade jellys which are good for souvenirs/gifts!

They lack signage for food completely here, so newbies like me will repetitively inquire, "ooh what's that?" over and over. The cakes, the bread, deep fried things all have no signs or prices, so unless you know what it is you won't feel comfortable. The service was patient and friendly, but I caused a back log on the line up, but if they had signage I would know that the cod ball wasn't a dessert filled with cream. Things to try, names are referenced off the receipt. Sweet - Portuguese tarts (Natas) creamy smooth egg and medium torched in a flaky shell. Like a thicker version of creme brûlée - milk tart(quiej. De leite): like a Nata but without egg, so it's a lot lighter, not quite cupcake like as described but good Bread Milk egg sweet bread??: it's right by the cash, big huge top hat sized thing. It's very light inside and a touch sweet. It looks dry and tough on the outside though but it's not.. Makes great French toast if you have leftovers! Deep fried: R. Camarao: teardrop one is cod, flaky and light with mashed potatoes and parsley, even people who can't stand salmon will like this. The patty shape one is shrimp filled, also tasty.
