    Loved everything about this place! The drinks were phenomenal, especially if you get them with oatmilk. The food was great. The Benny with avocado was soft and flavorful since they use a croissant as the base and top it with creamy hollandaise sauce. The ambience was wonderful, very much cute cafe brunch vibes. The interior is a bit small so I wouldn't go with a large party of 5 or more. I wouldn't get the french toast again since it was quite dry and made with a baguette that was hard to bite through. The flavors were all there; but wouldn't recommend if you like traditional eggy toast.

    I've been going here a few times now and the quality of the food and service is always consistently good! I ordered I ordered multiple things off the menu, but my constant order that always draws me back is the iced matcha latte. It has a strong alive flavour it always brings me!

    This is the kind of place that makes me wish I lived in the neighbo(u)rhood! The DeCourses Café is an intimate little spot that provides delicious breakfast items in a beautiful little dining area. The staff are amazing and provide fast and high quality service. The menu items are incredible from food to drink. We ordered a couple of crêpes, chocolate croissants, and some delicious lattes. We can't wait to come back! It's awesome. Enjoy.

    Had the Flat White, great coffee, great service, great cozy cafe with breakfast lunch pastry options. My girlfriend had the turmeric latte and French toast.

    Pinoy Eggs Benedict
    Melodee C.

    The food was pretty good! Those pinoy sausages were the best thing to have on a croissant eggs Benedict. I could have done without the salad. I don't mind greens, but they were flavourless and only came with like 2 strawberry slices and 2 pecans and like 0 dressing. Maybe a bit more hollandaise, to dip those bomb potatoes into. The iced latte was good but I don't know if those black flecks were espresso particles or vanilla beans from the syrup. I like the atmosphere a lot, and the masala chai latte was really good. I know they're hard working young people who are often overwhelmed by the numbers they serve, but I didn't love the wait time (felt like I waited 25 minutes, saw people who arrived after me get their food before me. That is always frustrating)

    Caramel latte with oat milk to go
    Megi M.

    Can never go wrong with this place. My favourite spot for a caramel latte with oat milk. For a bite to eat, I recommend eggs Benny on a croissant with longanisa or any of the savoury crepes. The place is really clean, the staff are super nice and respectful if all the usual Covid precautions.

    Grilled cheese (very oily with tiniest amount of cheese)

    Confused. This place is high rated so I was expecting a better experience. Ordered a grilled cheese and breakfast sandwich with soup (as the menu offers). The waitress said they don't do soup as it wasn't popular but ok. Ordered just a sandwich. Both sandwiches were bland, just oily pieces of white bread with very little cheese and filling. Not worth the calories. Also ordered an almond milk cappuccino and asked twice for almond milk and somehow still got oat cappuccinos. Although it was really good, it was not what we ordered...

    9" breakfast sandwich (with avocado added), and a matcha latte with coconut milk.
    Candice F.

    Came here on a whim and can say this is now going to be one of my favourites! I got the 9" breakfast sandwich with a matcha latte (with coconut milk), and it was extremely delicious! The bread was fresh baked there, and was toasted perfectly with the perfect balance of cheese:egg:meat ratio. The latte was pretty good too, and my boyfriend got an iced cold brew with vanilla and it was also very good (it didn't have that artificial vanilla taste come flavoured coffees have). The prices were also very reasonable, as two hefty sized meals and two drinks (I also added avocado and customized my drink) only came to a bit over 30 bucks. The atmosphere was also nice and seemed very clean inside. It was also neat that the kitchen where they prepare food was out in the open so you could see them making it. The servers were very friendly as well and were patient with my indecisiveness lol Will definitely be coming back!

    Iced coffee yum
    Joy S.

    Cute small quiet brunch place! Great customer service! Very personable and outgoing. No parking so park on the side streets. The food was fresh and flavourful. Good portions and great prices. Clean! Vegan options available! Amazing iced vanilla coffee and espresso!

    I love this cozy place! Their bakery is fresh and tasty! Whenever I go there I order Avo Benny and Gothic Latte! You should try these! Yum!! It's not busy usually and you can easily find a table!

    Avo Maria

    I can see what they're trying to do here. Cute hipster cafe, a variety of menu items you would more likely see at a brunch spot in Queen West, Insta-worthy lattes (like the Gothic Latte with activated charcoal), etc. But, for me - while I understood the concept and saw what they were trying to strive for, I think execution itself fell a bit flat. We visited on a Saturday morning while it was relatively busy - there's a good amount of seating, free WiFi, and a variety of menu items to choose from. We ordered the Avo Maria (avocado toast with sweet potatoes and pomegranates), a sweet potato benny, and a Gothic latte. With tip, we paid around $29. Honestly - I saw the vision of what they *wanted* the dishes to be (think of the pizzaz of Early Bird downtown), but the dishes themselves felt really rushed, lacked the flavour I was expecting, and overall execution felt uninspired. The Avo Maria looked and felt like something that could have been made at home (and while there's nothing wrong with that, I'm not sure if that's what they were going for). The one item that really stood out to us was the hollandaise sauce on the eggs benny - savoury, flavourful perfection. Otherwise, everything else we had was just fine, but not extraordinary. For those wondering - I got my Instagram photo of the Gothic latte obviously, but besides that, if you're looking for depth, the coffee doesn't shine through as much as espresso lovers would like. I'd come back here and give it another chance one day, and it's always nice to have cute cafe options in the west end - overall, average with room for improvement, but a decent enough experience that I'd come back.

    Americano & hazelnut Cappuccino
    Amelia F.

    I feel so lucky that attend the college campus right beside this place, as it's one of the best cafe's I've ever been to (and I've been to quite a few!). Not pictured were a piece of banana bread and a massive croissant which were both incredibly delicious--by the time I thought to take a picture there were only crumbs. Aside from the food being fresh and delicious, I'm a huge cappuccino fan but have learned that they're very hit or miss depending on the place. DeCourses café truly makes one of the best cappuccinos I've had, and has a lot of different flavours that can be added (I recommend hazelnut!). Anyways, I'm definitely a fan of this place and plan to go many times in the future. I think the prices are fair for the quality and size of the food and drinks ordered, and they have quite a big menu compared to other cafés.

    Gothic latte. Made with activated charcoal
    Kristian U.

    Cute little café that opened up recently replacing several other failed businesses in this very same location. The failures of the others really doesn't make sense as this location is kiddie corner to Humber College Lakeshore Campus, and a massive neighbourhood of young professionals and young families within walking distance. The failings of DeCourses predecessors maybe had to do with their choice in odd operating hours and lack of service. I do not predict DeCourses having the same issues as they offer EXACTLY what students and young families are looking for; good coffee, tasty fresh treats, all day breakfast and wholesome quick meal options (oh and bubble tea). If the gents working the counter were the owners they're young, energetic and eager, if not then they've hired really really well - these guys were awesome. The design is so trendy, it really steps the area up quite a bit, and instead of the rustic industrial charm that most spots seem to overdo now, the've gone with a more modernist/minimalist approach and it totally works! They've got an extensive menu with lots of hot sandwich options, crepes and baked goodies to go along side an impressive coffee menu. I went with a freshly baked croissant which was HUGE and a unique latte option they have called a Gothic Latte which uses activated charcoal in the brewing process for a kick and cleansing effect. The croissant was amazing, so buttery and flakey, wow. And the charcoal/gothic latte was so black but surprisingly easy drinking and tasted great! They've got this figured out! I hope this place lasts, it's really a great neighbourhood coffee joint and I look to spend many afternoons here in the future Eatcrest out!

Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

The line moved quick, even though it wrapped around, we waited for about 20 minutes only. The menu has some cool items, a few fusion dishes and trendy items. Awesome presentation and definitely Instagram worthy. I got the huevos rancheros, it was more like an egg burrito with beans, sauce and potatoes on top. The potatoes were probably my favourite out of everything. It was good but not the traditional you would expect. My friends sadly did not like their eggs benedict. The coffee was also average, not very strong or fragrant. Service was absolutely terrible. Our sever took so long to come, we see him just chatting in the corner.

Very friendly service (server was Crystal). Sat outside and still was attended to attentively - typically worried that patio seating gets less attention but that wasn't the case here.

Got the Indecisive with the eggs poached medium ( would recommend soft for future or sunny side up). The pistachio latte was yummy but with the matcha pancakes it became too sugary of a meal. Overall a casual yet put together vibe. Great for friends, dates, solo, or family. Washrooms not the cleanest, but the dining area was good. Did notice a few more birds than typical patios (tried to eat our scraps as we were waiting for the bill).

Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing. A cosmopolitan menu of diverse items from many different cuisines. - Baja Caesar Salad - baby romaine, corn, caesar dressing, agave bacon, croutons, grana padano, chili spice. This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready.
