De Mello on Bloor opened recently and I had a chance to stop by. It's one of my favourite cafe places in Toronto - so them announcing a new store, I had to go. It's easy to miss at first, so keep a look out when walking around Bloor and Sherbourne,
Inside, De Mello keeps the same vibe I like - calm, stylish, and cozy, complete with wooden accents, concrete, and the iconic tiger logo. The service was very friendly and warm for my morning visit. I usually order the Nomnom coffee, a Vietnamese-style coffee that's strong, rich, and always hits the spot. I also tried the Matcha Kumo, a seasonal drink that blends sweet and earthy notes nicely, thought the matcha itself is on the lighter side.
I also ordered their almond croissant. It was very flavourful and satisfying, though I do wish it was served warmer for extra kick.
Overall, De Mello on Bloor is a nice addition to their franchise. It's perfect for your morning coffee and baked goods run. read more
