Let me just start by giving a huge thanks to our server, Adam, who was beyond friendly and ever so kind. He was such a huge part of why my friends and I had the best time during our session. This quaint shop has a vintage aesthetic and is quite cozy. The food was simple and delicious and frankly, the afternoon tea set was more than enough however the Quiche just sounded too good not to order. That quiche was PHENOMENAL; I'd go back for that alone! The prices were very fair given the set (and compared to other afternoon tea sets).

On our most recent visit I tried their new iced strawberry matcha latte as well the strawberry matcha French toast. Both were delicious. My husband had the smoked salmon bagel and he really enjoyed that as well. Seating is a bit limited so if you come during peak hours expect a wait or might need to take out the food instead. Some tips - You can collect points and earn free baked goods, coffee, etc. They also have high chairs for little ones.

I arrived right at opening time on a Saturday, and they had all their food items out, and were just placing the description cards on the display. Another family had entered just before me, but otherwise the place was empty. The interior of the store is minimal and clean, very nice quiet spot to enjoy some of their goodies. I ended up getting 3 pastries in addition to the mini-cakes since the staff reminded me that any order of 6 items would be tax-free, and the selection was so appealing that day that I couldn't resist! Flavour, quality, and presentation was amazing, just as I expected based on the birthday cake I had tried from here. I loved everything! Such a spot for great pick me up treat. Prices tend to run pretty standard for the GTA, $6-10 per item. Staff told me their night baker had made all items the same day, so no wonder their quality is top notch.

The service was prompt and efficient, and there were a few spots inside for seating. It was quiet on a Saturday afternoon when we got there, but more people started coming in afterwards, and got some iced matcha (despite the cold, haha)! The hojicha latte was tasty as well, it tasted similar to the ones we had in Japan.

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)

I ordered the large Fancy Matcha Latte, which is made with matcha, espresso, and coconut milk. The regular sugar is not too sweet, which is nice. I did taste the matcha and espresso, but not so much the coconut milk. The drink was decent. For $10 for a drink though, it's definitely on the pricier side for a coffee drink. I also purchased the set of 6 bear macarons. They are so cute! It's $23 for the set, no tax, and you're basically getting one for free since one macaron is $4.5. The macarons came frozen. I would come back and try out the other drinks, especially the non coffee drinks. Their specialty drinks sound good. Staff were really nice and they explained a lot of their menu to me.

A Ok Cafe is more than A-Ok -- it's genuinely excellent!…read more Tucked inside Markville Mall, this café feels like a little oasis in the middle of a busy shopping day. The interior is surprisingly spacious, with trendy décor and a clean, modern vibe that makes it easy to settle in and relax. It's the kind of spot that feels thoughtfully designed rather than just another mall coffee stop. Service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which adds to the charm. On this visit, I tried the Ube Latte and the Matcha Banana Latte, and both were standouts. The ube latte was smooth, fragrant, and beautifully balanced -- not overly sweet, with that signature earthy ube flavour shining through. The matcha banana latte was equally impressive: creamy, well-crafted, and surprisingly harmonious, with the banana adding a gentle sweetness that complemented the matcha instead of overpowering it. Everything tasted intentional and well made, which isn't something you can say about every mall café. Whether you're grabbing a quick drink or taking a moment to recharge, A Ok Cafe is the perfect pit stop inside Markville Mall. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

They have a sign outside promoting the first 3 customers get dessert/bagel/croissant, but don't honour it. I was first in the store, not because I was trying to get the promo, but the lady behind me came actively trying to get the promo. Instead of the items promised, and only after asking, they reluctantly handed us panda keychains. The lady asked again for the promo after she got her order and they told her that they weren't giving the food items because keychains are more useful. She then asked them to remove the sign for false advertising, they (angrily) said they would, yet the sign continues to be outside half an hour later. You really shouldn't be making promises you can't keep, and getting upset at your customers for it. Please consider removing this false advertising sign and just letting your cafe and food speak for itself. If it wasn't for this, this cafe would be 4 or 5 stars, but the fake promo and dishonesty has really soured my experience here.
