No 10 Dean is a coffee shop and cocktail bar located inside the lobby of The Waverly, an apartment…read morerental building. They operate as a café during the day, offering espresso-based drinks, matcha, teas, soft serve, as well as pastries where it turns into a cocktail bar at night with some light and a drink menu. The space is spacious and fully accessible with lots of seating throughout, however, there are some house rules which are fully listed on tables. You must order before seating where each guest must order. If you stay to work there you have to order another beverage or food item every 2 hours. They have 1-hour seating zones which are kept for people staying a shorter time (less than 1 hour). There is no outside food or drink allowed and the business wants individuals to keep chairs clear. Moreover, they only want customers to make quiet calls only to not disturb others. I've been by No 10 Dean a few times for coffee and once for soft serve. The staff are friendly and the coffee is decent, however, not the best I've had in the city. The space is great for hanging around (although there are many people who end up working there with their laptops). It is also in a good location at College and Spadina as well. Overall, a decent coffee shop, good place to get some work done or to hang out with friends. Just have to keep in mind their house rules if you stay longer than 2 hours!

Loved it!

Wonderful local resto on Gerrard west of Woodbine…read more The food is wonderful. We tried it out for brunch last Sunday. Lots of options including some creative options and a lot of Benedict's. They also make a lot of baked goods to take away (cookies, scones and beignets). The roasted potatoes with the brunch offerings were sooo good. One of the best I've had. You can reserve online during the week but on the weekend it's waitlist only. Just keep in mind. It's a rather small establishment maybe about eight tables. Having said that well worth the visit so do check it out sometime. Parking is on the street nearby or you can get there on the TTC via street car.

They also have a decent selection of liquor. But the best thing about this place is the cool hippie and hipster ambiance. With great background music of War on Drugs and Whitest Boy Live. The sound system is good. There's a very nice back patio that's open in the fall. Plus some old vinyl and vintage cloths for sale for extra hip factor. The barista is hip and friendly.

For a brunch spot, Mia delivers…read more What can I say? In many ways, it's your typical quaint brunch spot...eggs bennies, avo toast, caesars, mimosas and what nots. What I like is the following: you can actually make a res (although only 2+ weeks in advance and through IG); the back patio, with a large tree as its centrpiece, is awesome; and the food itself is very good! Those side potatoes are much better than your average brunch place, in my opinion. And I really enjoyed my benny (I subbed peameal for crispy strip bacon) and my Caesar, itself served with a strip of bacon. Overall, does Mia have the wow factor of certain notable downtown brunch spots? Not exactly. But it's solid for sure!!

The server was very sweet and found me a table. I had the Lemon Ricotta & Pear French Toast. I wholeheartedly recommend this one. Next time, I walked in again around 2 pm on a Saturday. Sat at the Bar and had to wait one hour for the Crunchy French Toast. I liked it but not as much as the other one. The crunchiness is awesome but very heavily doused in whipped cream. Book ahead for the weekends.... it's a weekend haunt. Service is friendly. Next time, I wanna sit in the backyard patio and have pancakes.

Buvette Pacey merits appreciation as a cultivated third space--neither home nor formal…read moreestablishment, but something altogether more companionable. The venue demonstrates sophisticated understanding of conviviality: intimate dimensions, curated whimsy via animal portraiture, and meticulous attention to beverage service. The coffee preparation reflects competence without pretension; the wine selections favor approachability over academic rigor. Small plates demonstrate restraint and quality, executed with evident care rather than elaborate technique. The evening transformation into cocktail bar suggests versatility and operational confidence. What distinguishes Buvette Pacey is its refined refusal of grandiosity. This is proficient hospitality grounded in genuine hospitality rather than culinary ambition--a establishment confident in offering modest excellence rather than aspirational spectacle. The Moss Park location appeals to neighborhood patrons seeking quality refreshment and pleasant surroundings. Worthy of regular visitation for those valuing skilled execution, intelligent beverage curation, and the intangible but essential quality of genuine warmth. This represents successful neighborhood hospitality.

What a great little spot!…read more Our food order took awhile on a busy Sunday morning, but there wasn't a lineup out the door to contend with, so that was nice! The portions are very generous. We tried the stuffed French toast and the jerk chicken sandwich; both were very shareable! Perhaps in the future, we would split one dish. The brunch items were around $15-$18 each, so this would be a good deal for two people! The reason for 4 stars: fries were unevenly heated; some were noticeably colder than others. Also, the tables on the shared plush seating are super close together, which is a bit uncomfortable if you're not with a big group, The servers were terrific, but the highlight was talking to one of the chefs outside while he was on his break; it was nice of him to ask us how we liked the food. I'm curious about the dinner menu; there are some interesting things on it. Will come again!

We tried the "Matcha Latte", "Cappuccino", "Eggs in Purgatory", and "Queso Benny"; and it was the best Eggs Benedict I've had, especially with that rich duck-fat fried bread. The menu is creative, the flavors stand out, and the "Sticky Toffee Cake" was both beautiful and delicious to finish the visit.

We found this spot last minute, and it was absolutely stunning. The seating was super comfortable, with large velvet chairs. These were perfect while studying for hours.

Our server was also very kind, and made our drinks pretty quickly. I had ordered a latte with oat milk, which gave me just the right amount of energy to keep studying. I definitely would go back for a study session, or even a night out with friends for a few fun cocktails! The atmosphere was stunning, better than expected. 10/10 experience!!
