Ediya is finally open in Toronto! How I missed this Korean chain cafe for its reasonable prices and ah-shot-chu (shot of espresso added to peach iced tea).
This is a takeout-only location with a neat display case with clearly shown bakery items and prices. Minimal decor, and everything is new and shiny. Prices are so reasonable for coffee and snacks in Toronto nowadays.
What I love about this chain is its zero-calorie sweetener drinks, like coffee and iced tea. Watch out for caffeine though, iced tea + espresso can be quite powerful.
I tried their iced americano and the buldak cheese sandwich. Americano is americano, no comments here. The sandwich was actually quite spicy, which I loved. Not too filled, but alright for $7. Cheesiness was quite lacking though, so I added a slice of cheese at home.
I visited the first day they officially opened (soft opening for two days before that, I think) and the line moved steadily. Not too slow, but also not fast, just alright. They opened slightly past 9am, so some customers who had been waiting for the opening got a little annoyed. read more
