    I was surprised at the vast selections of Japanese and Latin inspired stuff! They also have smoothies, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages! Almost every night, they have events from live music, trivia nights to movie nights. I love the Tokyo Omelete (taste and presentation), Chicken don (flavor),, Taco (filling and huge) and the Lychee Peachy (refreshing). Details of what we had: Tokyo Omelette Roasted Seaweed, Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Mushroom, Sun Dried Tomato, Grilled Onion, served with Japanese Onigiri (Multigrain Purple Rice Ball) & Miso Soup Captain Croissant Toasted Butter, Smoked Salmon, Avocado, Red Onion, Cucumber Slices. Mayo and Arugula, Coleslaw House Special Teriyaki Chicken Don House Special Teriyaki Chicken, served with Multigrain Purple Rice, Miso Soup Fish Taco (2 pieces) Crispy tilapia, guac, coleslaw, spicy mayo and lime Mango Lemonade Lychee Peachy

    My cousin and I visited this cafe and fell in love with their drinks! This place is cozy with friendly staff and offers a diverse menu. Although, we only tried the drinks and a bagel, I will definitely go back one day to try the tacos and other dishes. Their pastries looked very fresh too! Located in the Kensington Market area.

    Film Cafe is a casual spot in the middle of busy Kensington. It hits all the right notes with an eclectic mix of Japanese, breakfast, tacos, and Sandwhiches. The mojito was well made and a good size. Perfect for relaxing in the heat or on the patio. The japanese poutine was amazing. Big in size and popular all around. It puts an interesting spin on a classic. The chicken and fish tacos were also authentic, tasty and popular. To cool off the smoothies were also a nice touch and fairly large in size. If you find yourself in Kensington, consider hitting this place up.

    The food menu here is deceivingly small but the drinks menu is quite extensive. 3-7pm is happy hour and you can get $8.50 drinks! They have all day breakfast which is interesting, as well as sandwiches and bagels, but also a small latin/spanish menu and a small japanese inspired menu. It's an interesting concept but the execution didn't wow me. We got the takoyaki, veggie gyoza, and chicken tacos for food, and the marshmallow hot chocolate, strawberry brownie shake, and the berry smoothie for drinks. The strawberry brownie shake was quite sweet but didn't feel artificial, and you could tell there was actual fruit in it which was nice! It felt more like a chocolate strawberry smoothie than a shake. I enjoyed it. My friends liked their drinks as well. The takoyaki was very creamy inside with a few small bits of octopus. The gyoza tasted not homemade and was probably frozen but the sauce had a good kick. Food overall felt very average but it's probably best for drinks anyway since it's a cafe. Although they do have lots of cocktail options! Service was quick and efficient and seating inside is pretty ample. It's a very casual spot, probably not a good place for a sit down dinner. More of a quick bite/snacks and drinks type place. There were people on their laptops even around 6:30pm, so it'd probably also be a good place to work remotely while sipping on one of their many interesting lattes.

    -Came here in 2022 while on your from nyc and forgot to post this review. -Walked by this cafe and thought it looked cute so stopped in for a bite. -The omelette was really solid and for a good price. -Miso soup was just ok. -I thought onigiri usually has filling, but it was just rice and purple rice so that was a little disappointing, but I think that's on me for assuming -Service was great. They answered all my questions and were attentive.

    The café is rather small, so you need to reserve if you're going in groups. They offer all day breakfast and also have live music on Thursday and Friday nights. They support young musicians which is amazing. Their menu has Japanese fusion option and also vegetarian/vegan options. Also good variety of cocktails, hot cocktails, milkshakes and smoothies. They also offer cakes and cookies, which you need to ask staff about them cause they're not listed on the menu. We ordered "Japanese Poutine", "Teriyaki Chicken Don", "Tiramisu", "Hot Mojito" and "Avocado Banana Smoothie". We wanted to try some cake after our meal, but we were so full that we need to go back to try some. Lol

    Kensington market /Augusta street has a lot of food. There's so many options. This coffee spot is a nice place to just sit back and unwind. They have an upstairs seating area and you can order downstairs. The coffee was good but a little bit too sweet but pastries are good. Busy and great service

    This is one of my favourite places for drinks in Kensington market! I've tried a few of their drinks so far, with the latest one being the Pink Sakura Latte. Their drinks are well priced and the service is fast and efficient! Above all, I like the ambiance within the cafe, it's a great cozy spot to hang out with friends :)

    tokyo omelette was decent nothing too special. lil pricey for a brunch (was cheaper when i went since tax break)

    "Market poutine" with Japanese curry
    Koji S.

    I'm Japanese and this is a *very* interesting cafe and restaurant! The coconut butter coffee (which I asked to be less sweet) was *amazing*, reminiscent of what the Japanese would call purin (crème caramel, basically) without being sweet. The curry poutine was also quite innovative - replacing gravy with a creamier form of curry really worked out. The other ingredients (parmesan, bacon, and an egg) made for an odd combo with the curry, but I didn't mind it. It was a warm and calming space, that wasn't too crowded in the evening, and offered WiFi and outlets. The microphone in the middle suggested they hold special events as well? Excited to return and try more menu items.

    Cool casual vibe with a solid menu. Breakfast/brunch food with some Latino/Asian fusion options for lunch. Awesome drink options, everything from specialty cocktails to unique lemonades and smoothies, as well as a variety of coffee and tea options. Service is good and fast!

    Food was decent, not that amazing but not terrible. Took forever for the food to come but all the servers and staff were super nice. Got charged $2.50 for 1 slice of cheese so I was kind of disappointed by that. The fat in the prosciutto sandwich was so thick that I couldn't bite into it and had to remove it :(

    5 star! I AM IN LOVE with this place. This is less than 10mins walk to where I work so I tend to go there most times for breakfast with my coworkers after a long night 12hr shift. What is not to love? Food: the food, beverages, and dessert presentations are... WOW!!! And they taste sooooo GOOD. I love the transparency; you can see when they are preparing your dish. Customer service: They are friendly and professional. The food gets serve so quickly. The place is warm, cozy, and clean. The bathroom is always clean. I mean I don't like using public bathroom, but I use theirs! I definitely recommend this place and almost everything on the menu. I still need to go back and get the gold ice cream, I heard it tastes good and expensive, but I'll get! :-D Bonus: Free WIFI!

    The Japanese curry poutine might be one of the best things I've ever eaten. I miss it every day.

    Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab…read morea hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

    This pains me to write but I have to. I love Neo coffee! It's one of the best ones in the city…read more However, I recently visited to try their ube latte and doesn't even begin to cover it. I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family
