The only thing I didn't love was the cheesecake…read more Service was super friendly. Paninis are a great size and very good. Breakfast croissant was yum. Bakery items were all great. The cakes looked dry in the case but weren't at all. Very flavorful. Chocolate brownie, lemon bar both good. The cheesecake was fine, too, but it was lavender honey and unfortunately wasn't super flavorful (real whipped cream though). Have pot pies, lasagnas, scones, etc in the freezer that you can take home. Zero complaints. Great stop.

Always yum, never know till I'm ordering if I'll choose the Chicken Pot Pie or the Soup & Sandwich…read more Croissants are perfectly textured, there's always an assortment of terrific desserts...if you're lucky, ginger crinkle cookies will be among them. And of course the coffee is always good--I choose a latte but you can't go wrong. (Aaand, if you're thinking of taking home something more substantial than dessert, there are a variety of frozen meat pies, including a favourite for the hardcore, steak & kidney. Not your thing? No worries, there's plenty more, from steak & mushroom to shepherds pie and of course that famous chicken & bacon pot pie that we started with. All YUM.

Had some time in scenic downtown London, so I decided to grab a coffee at the first place I saw…read more The first place I saw was Commonwealth Coffee. It is a bright and spacious coffee house, obviously very popular with the Western University students. They also have sandwiches, which I did not try, but they have a good selection. B served me, and she was friendly and efficient. They make their own doughnuts and loaves. I got an apple doughnut. It was filled with apple filling, some cinnamon icing on top, and it was fresh and not heavy. As a tourist, I appreciated not feeling rushed. A very pleasant place to have a coffee and pastry, even if you're not a student.

This cafe is very spacious, has amazing lighting, plays good music, and the customer service is…read moregreat :) I ordered an iced SF hazelnut latte and my bf ordered an iced mocha! Also had the banana bread + honey dip donut which were both delicious.

A nice little coffee shop inside the market. They have a variety of beans from around the world…read more I went with the special, a Cuban bean. I hadn't seen beans from Cuba before and it was a nice light roast, my favorite. The only thing missing was those cup holder sleeves as the coffee was quite hot and I trouble holding it single cupped.

A fine place in the Covent Market to either purchase a cup of coffee (roasted on the premises) or…read moreto purchase coffee beans by weight. Some of the freshest coffee I've tried, I was particularly fond of the Colombian light roast (and I'm not even a coffee-drinker).

Excellent food and baked goods! It's almost sinful to be selling such yummy cakes and pastries!…read more Staff is friendly and helpful

Way too expensive, Their Rum balls and Cannoli's are so small now. They are not worth the money…read more And i was really disappointed to find out all the baked goods and pastries are brought in frozen. Haven't been back

We drove 20 min. to come check out this place and were not disappointed! My husband and I visit…read moreParis often and are always looking for a good French place to eat. This bakery has a beautiful assortment of cakes and pastries to choose from. We both had the ham and cheese croissant which had an authentic cheese inside. We do wish it was heated up though. My husband also ordered the cinnamon twist and mentioned that although it looked pretty, it didn't have as much flavor as he would have liked. My cappuccino was so delicious! It is so difficult to find a proper one around here and Pastry Culture gets it right. The art around the main lobby represents Paris culture perfectly and the interior design was very nice. You can see some of the staff hand making pastries in the back room as you place your order at the cash register. At the time of visit, there was a lot of construction going on around the area, but it's totally worth getting through it to try out this spot and setup your laptop for work or have a morning chat with your bestie.

Stopped by for a driving break in London…read more Grabbed a small green tea and a large peppermint mocha latte with oat milk. Comes with two shots of espresso only. C$11.30, about $8.12 or so. Staff are warm and friendly. Looks like I ended up with a bigger cup in the end for my tea. The smaller is what I wanted though. As such the tea was weak and didn't have much flavor. I did a double take on the label, it's Bigelow. The peppermint mocha latte wasn't bad.

I did not think that my Monday could be made after a random search for a cafe in London, ON but…read moreholy moly I was so wrong! The name caught my eye at first because I thought it was Eritrean and my spidey senses were spot on. For anyone who claims to know anything about coffee, you know that Eritreans have a whole ceremony dedicated to this process. I had high hopes and I was not disappointed! I ordered a flat white with no sugar, so I could really taste the quality of the coffee. My drink was smooth, delicious, and sweet. I loved the coffee so much I ended up buying a bag of the same roast to take home. A family-owned business and I was greeted by the owner when I walked in. They're so nice here! There's plenty of seating to do some work, read or catch up with friends. The only thing I'd improve is getting some wifi set up. They also have sandwiches, food, and desserts which I didn't end up getting a chance to try but the options are there. Can't wait to go back!

I love coming here on a summer morning. The staff is always nice, the restaurant is welcoming and…read moreit's nice sitting out on the patio. To me their coffee is mid, but the pastries are amazing, especially their cruffins!!! I would recommend:)

You can tell everything is made in-house, which is impressive given their wide range of offerings:…read morequiches, sandwiches, cookies, muffins; they have it all. The ingredients are high quality, and the flavours are thoughtfully developed. Pink lemonades are often too sweet, but this one was perfectly balanced. The lemon square was nicely tart, the quiche had generous chunks of feta, and the muffin had that rich, buttery flavour you only get from homemade baked goods. Service was bubbly and helpful, and the interior was quaint. There's just enough seating outside, with a setup that lets you choose between sun or shade. Special mention for offering the London Fog iced; my first time trying it, and it is now my new go-to. Prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the quality. Easily the best coffee shop I've tried in London so far.

After a wonderful walk of Museum London we decided to grab a bite at Rhino Lounge …read more Greeted with apathy by the counter girl. Had to explain how to make a beverage that was on the menu.

So when the logical next step happened - a cafe/lounge opening and named after that steel moniker - there was no question that I had to check it out. I'm just kicking myself for taking so effing long!! One word: cronuts. This crazy combo was only a mere puzzlement until today. I saw cronut bites in the display and ordered a Skor chocolate and orange chocolate duo. Humina! Melt in your mouth fluffy yet dense ooey gooey goodness! Unreal. I loved the orange one so much I bought two more for later. If you scan their FB on Thursdays you will see their weekly creations, which are full sized and I'm sure very delightful. My mom and I shared the daily specials of beef barley soup and a grilled cheese made with bacon, pepperjack cheese and balsamic mushrooms. The soup was incredible! So much beef and chunky veg and flavour. Very hearty. I was a little unsure of the grilled cheese because balsamic and I don't get along but the combo was very delicious. I ordered an iced tea made with earl grey and had to sweeten myself (totally fine) but that's a new concept to me. It was good but I probably wouldn't get it again. I should've ordered a hot beverage but after a spell in the toasty room holding the bazaar I needed to cool down. Their drink menu is pretty extensive, booze included. And yes the lounge portion of the name comes later in the evening and it's a very cool space for that sort of thing. I will have to make a point to travel to the Rhino again soon.
