Salmon Croissant
Kerry L.

This new spot in Markham at Hwy 48 and 16th Avenue is clean, with a vast drink menu and also offers a brunch items. There are a few high tables with two standard ones. I really enjoyed the iced London meets Kyoto iced drink. Perfect amount of sweetness made of earl grey with earthy matcha and oat milk. The salmon croissant is always a good choice!!! Make sure to come early especially during the weekend.

New coffee shop in Markham! There's a very calming aura when you enter the shop. There's some tables to sit at, with some outlets along the walls. The menu is extensive, with lots of variety from coffee shops, iced tea drinks, and smoothies, and refreshers. They also have a display case with some pastries. My order: London Meets Kyoto ($7.75). Very refreshing! You really taste the mix of earl grey and matcha with a hint of sweetness. Dirty Coconut Jasmine ($6.75). The espresso is strong and there's a floral aftertaste from the jasmine. This was also a good mix of flavours. The staff recommended us the top drinks (anything from the Barista Special menu). Overall, very clean space, free parking, fare prices, nice staff, and a calming/quiet space to get work done if needed.

Really nice, clean, local coffee shop with chill vibes. I appreciate the beautiful latte art and also the interesting scone flavours.

Such a lovely new addition to the neighborhood! The space is beautifully designed with a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying some quiet time with a good cup of coffee. I tried their Latte and it was smooth, rich, and well-balanced. The staff were super friendly too, which made the experience even better. Definitely a new go-to spot for me. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Didn't realize this place only opened up 2 weeks ago. I was looking for sun tea. I ended up trying the strawberry matcha which was quite tasty. I'm glad there is a nice coffee shop in my neck of the woods. The barista was friendly and it had a chill vibe.

I've been here a few times and their selection of baked goods is amazing. The staff are friendly and efficient. The filling in their baked goods are really well portioned, and I don't find their sweet pastries too sweet. I've loved every single item I have gotten here! Definitely work checking out.

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 Library Specialty Coffee - Matcha Latte

Finally, a proper matcha latte! Maybe I just really like my matcha bitter, but The Library…read moreSpecialty is one of the best places to go to for matcha. 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)

This cute little cafe is the perfect place to come meet friends and get some delicious drinks. The aesthetic of this cafe is so cute, and I love the way they have just decorated this entire place. The staff are so kind and gave me some options for caffeine free drinks! I got a chance to try this Peach Oolong Milk Tea and the Dirty Pistachio (has caffeine)! Both were delicious and fairly well priced for the portion sizes. They also have some amazing deals like if you sign up for their app, you can receive a free keychain, mug or totebag! Would definitely recommend you checking it out if you get the chance! 9/10 recommend!

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.
