I'd walked passed Loveless many, many times in the past, but somehow I'd never stopped in. So when…read morewe were making plans to meet up before a night out, it seemed like a pretty obvious place to start. I showed up around 5:00 and people were still drinking coffee. (Side note: who are these folks that can drink coffee that late?? If I attempted that, I wouldn't fall asleep until the following morning.) Anyway, I sat down and eventually realized I was meant to go up to the counter to order a drink. So that's exactly what I did, and I wound up grabbing a tasty, refreshing pint of beer. The vibe in Loveless is so laid back and easygoing, too. It's a really cool little place.

I went around 5pm on a weekday. Had a $10 martini (HH price), half dozen oysters, endive salad, French onion soup, and their crème brûlée... ate everything. Would have licked the plates. 1) it was a strong martini. Lovely 2) BEAUTIFUL oysters and I eat a lot of oysters 3) sweet and nutty endive salad. Crunchy from the nuts, crispy from the endives, sweet dressing with some chili flakes to wrap it all together. Didn't lick my plate, but I did lick my fork all the way to my fingers 4) hearty French onion soup. Wasn't too salty. Good amount of bread and cheese. Fabulous. Comforting 5) ended it all with crème brûlée. Not the smoothest, but they had vanilla bean in it and a nice crust on top, so I'm not complaining.

Food wise had an espresso, hot chocolate and some cookies. Here was an espresso where you could actually taste all the flavours. Hot chocolate was above average and cookies were alright. Staff was friendly. There is only a little bit of seating. Maybe 20 seats in the whole place. Highlight was the WiFi at 330/30. That's the fastest for any café I've ever tested. I saw a power outlet by my sofa seat so I think they've planned for working in the cafe. Definitely recommended. They've made it into the Toronto cafe list.

In addition to serving coffee and tea, it's also a concept store that curates a collection of unique and local items for its patrons, such as plants, candles, gifts and baby clothes. With something for everyone, it's easy to walk in and purchase more than a just a coffee (also great to support a local business!) As for the drinks, expect the standard complement of espresso drinks, plus chai and matcha lattes and loose leaf teas. Beans are supplied by Toronto-based De Mello Coffee and baked goods are made locally, too. Although the shop is quiet, the service is friendlier than most coffee shops in the city, which I always appreciate. Those are the little things that make me want to return.

There are a few tables along the wall, as well as a back room with additional space for bigger parties. It is family owned, and their cute corgi wanders the place looking for crumbs. I always appreciate when a cafe's drink menu is not basic. We got the lime cream coffee and soursop jasmine iced tea. I liked the coffee more than I thought I would. A good refreshing twist on a traditional viet coffee. The iced tea was a lovely, not-too-sweet combo. My only experience with soursop in the past was with ice cream, so I was happy to see it again. We also got a roasted pork banh mi, which was freshly heated and delicious. With the quieter space and free wifi, we had a pretty productive visit. I can't wait to come back and try more items!

Perfect amount of sweetness, so strong, perfect temperature. I literally devoured it. I did not try the durian coffee but my partner got it. It was fragrant enough for me to point it out without getting too close to it. He did really enjoy it though! We also got the lemongrass banh mi. It was warm and toasty. Great amount of toppings inside. Made a perfect afternoon snack for the two of us to share. There are outlets to plug in laptops and complimentary fast wifi. It's a cozy little cafe. There's also a self-served water station. The service was great and very friendly! I would not hesitate to come back here.

The croissant itself was sooooo crunchy and can see the layers through but that cream was a sweet surprise. I can't describe anymore that you should go try yourselves. The seating of the cafe is a bit darker inside but then it's probably very inside and no natural light coming thru - should be expected. Otherwise they have a seating (bar style) at the front to soak in the sun on sunny days and have a good read if you are a book worm. The customer service seemed ok, not so impressive. But meh who cares when the coffee and baked goods are this good!

With the citrus name they also offer fresh squeezed OJ. And also beer, wine and cocktails too, including espresso martinis yum, along with friendly chatty service. Sounds pretty typical for Toronto right? So here's the unique thing. They are open late for an art party on Fridays! And better yet, NO COVER!! That's right, come in and relax with a glass of wine and paint something using their supplies. A DJ deck replaces the baking case so there's music as well to make it a fantastic social experience bringing together the Dufferin Grove neighbourhood, one of the coolest family-oriented hoods in Toronto.

I love ginger beverages- it wasn't overpowering here, I mostly tasted the kiwi and sparkling lemonade. It was busy in there but we still got our orders and drinks quickly, I appreciate how fast the service was. My friend got one of their banana bread drinks - if you like the taste of hojicha, this was particularly strong which I personally enjoyed! Love how the store also has sections where it is like a little market selling local goods and always fun to see the dogs that are sitting outside. The prices are a little expensive (my refresher before tax was $7.5) but typical for what you'd pay in Toronto for a fun drink, from what I've seen.

They also have pastries that you're able to grab as well while grabbing a drink. This particular location is not accessible as there are some steps you need navigate in order to reach the entrance. However, the small patio at the back of the cafe is the perfect space to spend some time when the weather is warmer. Having been to Forget Me Not several times, their espresso based drinks are always great. However, I tried their banana bread matcha latte last year when it went viral and it wasn't bad. This year, they have their banana bread latte series again but they now have a banana bread hojicha latte. Being a huge fan of hojicha, I had the banana bread hojicha latte recently at Forget Me Not and it tasted pretty great! Price wise, it is on the more expensive side. Service wise, the staff at this coffee shop are always friendly and service is efficient where drinks are made at a reasonable time. Overall, a solid spot for coffee along the Ossington Strip! Definitely love the small patio they have at the back, the perfect place to escape to during the warmer months.

Forget Me Not seemed quite promising, so we popped in and I began perusing the menu. I knew I wanted some cold, so I was immediately drawn to the Vanilla Dream Cold Brew ("cold brew brewed for 12 hours topped with house-made vanilla sweet cream"). It's delicious. The rich coffee and that vanilla sweet cream balance each other out perfectly. It's a refreshing, satisfying concoction that reminded me a little of the similar drinks I just quaffed at Disneyland. The fine folks at Forget Me Not Coffee obviously know exactly what they're doing. I'll be returning very soon, that's for sure.

A staff to maintain and guide the guests. There are different prices, dog/cat room is $29.99 per hour per person; and if half and half hour for each room, it will be $42 per hour per person. The dogs in the room are from the owner or from the shelter. The guests can adopt the dogs/cats from the store if you want to bring it home. The owner was really thoughtful to help with adoption. The guests also can just get a drink or snack and sit outside of the room and watch the cats and dogs. If guests write some reviews on Google review, they will get some dog snacks to feed the dogs.
