It's summertime so I tried Coconut Island. It's Cold brew coffee with some coconut cream on top and…read morea sprinkle of coconut flakes. I enjoyed it, not too sweet and it tasted coconutnutty! Here is a hint always ask for light ice they still give you plenty of ice, even if the cold brew comes out cold. Otherwise you get a cup full of ice. De Mello coffee is expensivei. However, in the scheme of things it is a good value because the coffee beans they use have a good solid caffeine kick and it tastes good! (My overall favorite place is still across the street a couple blocks North at Himalayan coffee. It's folksy, a lot less expensive and I always feel happy there, especially after I get a cute latte art on my drink.). The Coconut island cost $8.50 plus tax or $9.60! De Mello Coffee is creative marketing their coffee beans. They have crazy names by cotton candy, lolipop, birthday cake, dead, man, walking, etc. however, a small bag of beans is super super expensive. But their marketing makes you wanna try it and then afterwards you're like oh I guess I taste something but it's still not worth the cost. I'm sorry if this review leaves you puzzled to go or not. It's worth trying. The baked goods look amazing and as long as you get one that is moist, are excellent. Well, I return? Yes.

We went to Paris Baguette to work on a couple things and to get some pastries and drinks. When we…read morewalked in, all of the tables with the booth were taken. It seems like this is a popular place to work remote. I got a hot Matcha latte with oat milk and my boyfriend got an Iced Matcha Latte with almond milk. Our drinks were pretty good, they were sweet, earthy, and creamy. For pastries, we got a croissant and coffee bun. I really liked my coffee bun, it was pretty large for a pastry. And the coffee flavor was really nice, it was sweet but nailed the "not too sweet" sweetness level as well. I absolutely loved my coffee bun. They have a huge selection of pastries to choose from, from sweet to savory. Everything looked good. For me and it seems like I'm not the only one, pricing was a little bit more expensive than I anticipated compared to other cafes in the area. Despite this, I would come back again. I don't think I'd be a regular here because it can get pricey. But I'd definitely come back to try their different pastries and cakes.

Brew + Brie Cafe located in Midtown Toronto along Castlefield and Yonge is a new cafe serving up…read morecoffee, pastries (lots of croissants, cupcakes, etc.), and will soon offer charcuterie. They share a space with Uptown Brie (a cheese and deli meat store) next door. They have some indoor benches where you can enjoy your coffee and pastries but they also have some outdoor seating available (when the weather is nice). The previous business in this space was also a coffee shop but the interior has now been renovated where it feels light, airy, and feminine. I stopped by Brew + Brie Cafe on their opening day. The barista was extremely friendly and the space looked amazing. I opted to grab a cortado which was made well. There were several pastries for sale at the counter. I did overhear that they will be doing take out charcuterie in the future (makes sense as they share a space with Uptown Brie) as well as lunch sandwiches! I was also able to browse at Uptown Brie which was nice as well. Overall, cute space, great coffee, and friendly staff. Can't wait to return to try their charcuterie!

Stumbled upon this place (in a relatively quiet location on Mount Pleasant) when I was looking for…read morean early Mother's Day gift. What a serendipitous discovery! I ordered their pastiera napoletana after the owner recommended it as a dessert which was not too sweet and unequivocally stated that he made one of the best in the city. He was definitely right to be confident. Light and fragrant, the smooth aroma of the orange balanced very well with the crispy, delicate crust. I only got in a few bites before the rest was devoured by my family. It is a slightly expensive treat, but one I can see myself not being able to resist on future special occasions. Speaking of the owner, what a charming and delightful character! Extremely amiable and welcoming, giving the place the vibe of an authentic Italian bakery. Give this underrated spot a try!

Sweetcultura may have just become my favourite Italian bakery in the city (and with all the amazing…read moreoptions here, that's saying something). It basically boils down to this: Chef Andrea knows his flavours. You could put a blindfold on me and I'd be able to tell you what flavour the cannoli or cookie is - it's that distinct and powerful and satisfying. My wife and I have had stuff delivered twice now, and both times were a big hit with our tastebuds and tummies. We got: - Cannolis: All assortments of flavours (I liked the ricotta, tiramisu and amarena ones the most). The filling was consistently smooth and creamy, and the shell was perfectly crunchy. - Cookies: Tried the mango cream and coconut ones. But were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And wow did the flavours burst when you bit into them. - Chocolate Babka: A tad dry on the edges (though the inside was moist) but I loooooooooved how much dark chocolate there was swirling in and around the whole loaf. - Strawberry Tart (mini): Good amount of strawberries, really smooth base cream, and the shell was melt-in-your-mouth awesome. - Bolognese Lasagna and Garlic Bread: The lasagna was super cheesy, which I love. And the garlic bread, despite being delivered, tasted freshly baked and had just the right amount of garlic. Also, at $17 for a small tray of lasagna (good for 2-3 people), it was definitely great value for money. In addition, they gave us a couple of free mini samples to try: - Linzer Torte: Good quality raspberry jam with a nice nutty crust. - Torta Ricotta, Mascarpone and Chocolate Chips: Just the lightness of the cheese mixed with the sweet hits of the chocolate chips was a great balance. As you can see, we've tried quite a lot of the stuff on their menu, and every single one of them was a hit. That's really really hard to do. Sweetcultura's world may revolve around sweets, but its culture is surely grounded in excellence.
