The Origin is a bit sad these days. I was here last Saturday, taking in a flick at the Cineplex. This mall has seen better days. These major players are no longer at this mall: - South Street Burger with La Diperie - Me Va Me Express - Kiu Japanese Restaurant After the movie was over, I felt like a drink. Chatime is still around. However, there must have been fifteen people in the store, waiting for their drinks. I remembered this Lucullus bakery that was next door to the late South Street Burger. I had never been to this location in downtown Markham. I have been to the one on Yonge Street, south of Finch Avenue West. That store had beverages, so I'm sure that this one did, too. You enter and exit using the external doors. You cannot access the mall through this bakery. I opened the door. I was not expecting to walk into a time warp. It felt old-world European, in a period that I was unfamiliar with, but it felt like I knew it instantly being here. I loved the small tiffany lamps that were in front of the coffee area. So quaint! I hit the bakery section. I got a tray that oddly looked far more modern than the interior. I also got a pair of tongs. Just past 6 pm, I was expecting slim pickings with the baked goods offerings. Surprisingly, there were a number of croissants and buns available. My haul consisted of these items: - Curry beef puff - Tuna bao - Chocolate croissant - Luncheon meat bao - Corn and ham bao - Beef bao These six items barely fit on my wooden tray. I found the drinks. They were in the fridge. I got a chrysanthemum flower honey tea. I approached the counter. I got a helpful woman. She asked me if I needed a bag. I said yes. I hadn't expected to come here to get a bunch of baked goods and a drink. I'm glad that I did. I got a straw for my drink. I paid with a credit card. There was a 25-cent transaction charge when you use your debit or credit card here. It didn't bother me, as I rarely have cash on hand. I thanked her, took my bag of yumminess and my drink, and headed to the elevators to fetch my car in the underground lot. I'll start with the chrysanthemum flower honey tea. It's exceptionally Chinese. I grew up sipping it when I had a sore throat. I loved how it tasted. It had the perfect tea strength with a touch of honey. The downside was that the flower in this tea was a choking hazard when I sucked it through the straw. I ended up straining my drink at home to prevent myself from coughing up a lung again. I loved my baked goods haul. Everything was delicious. Thoughts about each one: - Curry beef puff - Flaky. It had the best curry beef filling. - Tuna bao - A lot of tuna filling. Tasty! - Chocolate croissant - It was divine with dark chocolate. It does have black sesame seeds on it. - Luncheon meat bao - Yummy. It would be better if it had egg paired with it. - Corn and ham bao - So good! It had a lot of corn balanced with the salty ham cubes, mixed with mayo. - Beef bao - It was delicious that I took a bite and didn't think about taking a photo of the bao in its intact glory. A definite bao winner. I'd return for more good eats. This store apparently has meals that I'd like to try. Despite how sad it was seeing a few businesses close down at this mall, I am thrilled that this bakery is kicking around. I'm glad that I finally visited it. I'll be back for more! (182)

What I found odd was the fact they didn't have any real coffee beverages available. They call themselves "Roasters" but the only thing they are roasting is drip coffee and Asian milk teas and teas. They said no cappuccino, latte, macchiato, cafe au lait...none of them were available. What kind of weird bakery and roasters is this? It was completely bizarre. Why have signs and a menu if they are not available. Strange experience. Will not return ever.

Cute little hidden gem inside the Farmer's Market!…read more I got the pourover and had a nice little chat with the staff there. They're knowledgeable and it's such a cozy hangout area. 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!

I'd say for over a year, I have seen the Yelp listing for Whole Foods Market in Markham get changed…read moreto WFM Coffee Bar. Every time I saw this annoying change, I'd ask Yelp to change it back to Whole Foods Market because the entire listing is devoted to the supermarket. I frequent it often. I am not just checking into the coffee bar when I'm there. It's the market that I am checking into, which houses this coffee bar. Last week, the business name for Whole Foods Market in Markham changed to WFM Coffee Bar twice. WTH?! After seeing that change yesterday, I had had it. I decided to not only have Yelp change the listing back to the formal market name, I recommended having a new listing for WFM Coffee Bar. Leave the original one for the market as intended. Create a new one for the coffee bar so that I can stop making requests to change the name back to what it should be. The Yelper who is constantly asking for this listing can now use this one and everyone can live happily ever after. Yelp did it. This listing is for the coffee bar. To the Yelper who needs it, please use it. This solution is so much better than Yelp making a lazy, erroneous change to an existing business. Simple. Here's the actual review of this coffee bar... WFM Coffee Bar is located inside Whole Foods Market. You get there by entering the main doors and hanging a right. Walk all the way down, past the self-checkout kiosks. The cafe is after the kiosks and before you hit the sushi counter. You can get coffees, lattes, iced teas and coffees, snacks, and more here. It also does smoothies. I like that it offers dairy-free beverage alternatives, such as almond beverage. You can also get nut substitutes in your smoothies, such as almond butter. The substitutes are an added charge and can add up if you go crazy with them. This cafe also features gift ideas for your coffee or drink-loving friends. I have seen everything from mugs, to drinkware and noodle bowls with chopsticks. If you can't get enough of your coffee, you can buy bags of coffee beans. It may be cheaper to brew your own coffee creations if you can't get to this bar by 6 pm. You can sit down and enjoy your drinks and snacks that you bought from this bar. There are chairs and seats in front of this bar, closest to the windows. Otherwise, grabbing your beverage and snacks is perfectly fine if you need to dash. I am thrilled that this listing is available. I look forward to not seeing the Whole Foods Market listing for Markham change. We have a dedicated business listing for this coffee bar at long last.

While we've only ever gotten their coffee, their dessert style drinks look really great too. This time when we went, we got the egg coffee (cold). Highly recommend!

Make sure to check this coffee shop out if you are in need of a caffeine kick. Their regular viet coffee is amazing as well.
