Food and drink were meh, but I guess it doesn't matter if you're just looking for a place to study.

Of all the little dessert spots I've come across lately, this one honestly felt like such a sweet surprise. I never expected this hidden place to be so popular, but after trying it, I completely understood why. The fresh strawberry daifuku was the one I had been craving for the longest time, and it absolutely lived up to the dream. The mochi was thin, soft, and perfectly chewy, wrapping around juicy sweet strawberries and smooth red bean paste in the most satisfying way. It was one of those desserts that makes you pause after the first bite and immediately want another. We also tried the Japanese dango, and I loved that they were made fresh, because the texture was so soft and bouncy with none of that dry or hard center some places have. The kinako one was probably my favorite. The roasted soybean powder and sweet syrup went so well together, and the aroma was so comforting. The black sesame was also really good in a different way, deeper and nuttier, with a more classic taste that felt simple but memorable. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and made with care. This is the kind of dessert spot that makes an ordinary day feel a little brighter, and I already know I'll be thinking about that strawberry daifuku again. read more

Lait Night was a truly special experience. The desserts were exquisite and adorable; the combination of strawberries and cream was instantly uplifting. The tea selection was extensive, with distinctive flavors ranging from matcha to rose black tea, all with a refreshing aroma. The relaxed atmosphere made it perfect for small gatherings with friends or for quiet enjoyment alone. What I loved most was that it stayed open late, creating a cozy, tranquil corner that helped me unwind. read more

3.5/5, drinks and food was delicious! Uji matcha latte had great matcha flavour and just the right amount of sweetness. The strawberry daifuku was so tasty- mochi was chewy, strawberry was sweet and the red bean paste was the perfect combo. As mentioned in another yelp review- the male barista/cashier seemed very impatient and not very friendly. It was our first time here so we wanted recommendations and to take our time deciding what to order. We even offered to let others go before us in line but he told us he already entered in part of the order so we had to order now. Just seemed very annoyed to be there. Soured the experience. Also the cafe itself just seemed very humid, poor lighting and had an industrial feeling. Would come back for the food but not the ambiance. read more

Ohh bless the worker working solo and prepping everything herself. Quite surprised to see a stove behind the register. Lots of tables for studying, but inside is quite dark so not the best during the day time. The dango is rather okay, comparable to the Japanese super Market. I would say the coffee jelly is more worth it as they decorate it fresh and it's quite cute. I got the roasted corn tea latte, and beware of this because instead of a creamy corn latte you are getting a roasted barley tea + latte so its not very strong. Would recommend getting another drink. Overall, stars for the nice service and ample space for studying/night hideaway. Not the most upscale cafe but gets the job done and kudos to the worker holding down fort. read more

Lait Night is a nice spot for people to do work or study late at night, but I was expecting a more lively environment honestly. I was hoping for some board games to play while enjoying dessert with friends but it's actually the opposite. It's very quiet with 9 two seater tables, usually one person occupies a table and is on their laptop. Feels a bit wrong to hold a conversation here in fear of disrupting others. Four Seasons Oolong Tea Latte - first, boba was chewy and slightly sweet but nothing exceptional. The oolong tea itself wasn't too potent, but there was a little evidence. Moreso milky or watered down. My friend however, got a freshly steeped tea (asked if 10 minute wait was fine). Not sure if my ratio was off or if the recipe itself was a bit skewed towards the non-tea side. I'd order another drink but was happy with the boba. Ichigo Daifuki - literally what you expect from the description! Mochi, red bean, and strawberry. Strawberry was plump and juicy but slightly sour. I guess it contrasted well with the sweet red bean but I would've enjoyed a sweet one much more. read more

Came here on a Thursday night after our dinner. I missed the Japanese desserts I grew up eating, and the pictures caught my eye, so we decided to give it a try. According to the staff, their dango (skewered mochi), and ichigo daifuku (mochi wrapped red bean paste coated strawberry) are their most popular item. Dango 6/10 Overall, the dango was okay. It was warm and chewy, but I expected a bit more chewyness, as the texture was somewhere in between a mochi and milk mochi. The kinako was okay, mitarashi was a bit too runny and salty, and the matcha was light in matcha flavor and a bit grainy due to the undisolved sugar. Ichigo Daifuku 7/10 This tasted much better than the dango. The strawberry was juicy and sweet, so that made it pretty tasty. The red bean paste and mochi was fine. Mizu yokan 6/10 I do like this dish but I felt like the texture could be improved and the sweetness reduced. Roasted Corn Late 4/10 First time trying this. It had a nice aroma but it tasted very watered down. Being born and raised in Japan, I am a bit critical of Japanese foods in general, and I think I was a bit too excited, thinking it would be quite authentic. I have yet to find a solid Japanese dessert here in Toronto, so any recommendations are welcomed lol read more

I gotta say, it's pretty rare to encounter places that serves bubble tea till the wee hours of the morning and I'm so glad to have stumble across this shop. For those who get the midnight cravings for tea, make a stop by Lait Night. They got the teas, the smoothies, the sweets, and other yummy delights that can fulfill your craving. My friends and I came here for drinks and overall, it was pretty tasty! We ordered the mango smoothie and I got this rose flavored milk tea. Flavors = fresh and the drinks weren't too sweet. Inside Lait Night, there are places where you can sit/study/chill and I think the best feature of this place, is that it opens till 3am. Super stoked to find this spot and definitely bookmarking it for future reference if I visit Toronto again :) read more

This is a good place if you want to study somewhere or just hang out late at night. However, the male cashier at the time could have provided better service. It seemed like we were bothering him even though he was just sitting down when we came. This was on 3/15/24. Service was a 2. I got a strawberry oolong tea with lychee jelly that was decent. We tried two of the dangos because they looked interesting. We had the honey and black sesame. I'm glad they were cheap because they weren't that good. Aesthetically they look tasty but after you eat it, it's kind of bland. I would not recommend getting these unless they're another flavor. Seats can be limited since you have a lot of young adults here. read more

Haven't come back since indoor dining was allowed again and im glad i stopped by. Finally tried their drinks as well. Ordered the Assam black tea latte with tapioca and 0% sugar. Other places are often sweet even at 0% sugar, but this place is different. the drink was actually not sweet at all, and only slightly sweet depending on the tapioca. For those who truly want 0% (literally just straight up tea)- this is the place. if you're used to "0% sugar" like at other bubble tea franchises around, then it's probably more equivalent to 30-50% sugar here. Regardless, the tea flavour is strong! not watered down at all which i really appreciated. Tapioca was also very soft even for a cold drink. I would definitely come back again for their drinks. Also ordered a daifuku because they're still A+ here! :) read more

If you're in the mood for some delicious Japanese sweets, this place is definitely the spot for you! A nice little cafe with a variety of desserts and drinks that wouldn't hurt your wallet. My friend and I ordered the Ichigo Daifuku, the Matcha Mizu Yukan, as well as 4 different flavours of the Dango (Mitarashi, Kinako, Black Sesame, and Matcha). What a treat! The Ichigo Daifuku was mouthwatering - the tartness of the strawberry balanced out with the red bean paste snuggled in between the outer mochi layer. The red bean paste itself was not overly sweet, which was a nice touch! I do wish, however, the mochi layer was a bit more dense and less doughy, but that's just my personal preference! I never had Matcha Mizu Yokan before, so the texture and taste genuinely surprised me. It had an interesting bite due to the agar-agar ingredients, and the jelly itself was not too sweet. It came with some whipped cream on the side, the sweetness of which helped lift the somewhat-dense dessert. I feel like I missed out by not pairing this with a tea, but will definitely revisit! The 4 Dango flavours offered different pairings to the same rice-flour dumpling. If I were to rank them for favourites, it would be the Kinako (Roasted Soybean) - Black Sesame - Mitarashi - Matcha. Before I even ate the Kinako, I was able to smell the fragrant roasted aroma resting atop, with the flavour matching perfectly. The Black Sesame had a milder, yet sweet taste as I had suspected. Mitarashi Dango is typically my go-to, but I felt like my order was particularly doused in too much sauce. I did, however, taste the char on the Dango to counter the sweetness of the sauce. The Matcha was a mix of sweet + bitter, nothing too sweet and a perfect bite to end the dessert round. read more

Visited this place around 1:30 am and it was still pretty busy. I tried their Matcha Dango and Coffee Jelly and both the items tasted great. We liked the coffee jelly so much that we ended up ordering it thrice. Just couldn't resist the urge to have one more. I wanted to try the Daifuku but unfortunately, it was sold out. Staying a bit far from this place makes it difficult to come back for Daifuku but I do hope to try it in the future. read more

Such a cute place and the friendliest staff. I rarely (maybe never??) see dango sold outside of japan so I was so excited to come try these.

We visited this little dive when exploring some things to do after midnight in Toronto! This cafe is a sweet little spot with some good snacks! I liked the coffee jelly and strawberry daifuku! What's unique about this cafe is that it's open until very late, and has a nice, quiet and calming atmosphere! Service was quick and cordial! Great place to do some late night work or have a late night chat. read more

This place caters perfectly for those who need a space to work late into the night. It is a cafe that opens around the same time other cafes are typically closing. I visited this place a couple of weeks ago, three nights straight, to get a project done. Most of the other patrons were also there to do work or were hanging out quietly. It is lovely to have a place open late, which does not require you to default to buying alcohol to be around. The cafe drinks are nicely crafted and of good quality. Don't forget to start a stamp card if you see yourself visiting frequently. read more

Great place! Visited here one night on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the ichigo daifuku, dango, and coffee jelly with whipped cream - all were super tasty and satisfied my sweet tooth. My fav was prob the coffee jelly with whipped cream - this had just the right amount of sweetness and was so satisfying for something quite simple. Definitely give this place a try if you're ever in the area - they are open late and play anime on the tv! read more

The hardest part about visiting Lait Night and searching it in Google or Yelp is avoiding autocorrect. Yelp search results kept defaulting to late night food. Lait Night is a new kid on the block. It is a 24 hour cafe, hidden in a side street on Dundas. The menu definitely feels like a lot of thought and care is put into it. There are many vegan options and as well as unique offerings like corn tea. I had the original hot milk tea with soy. It has an Earl Grey like aroma to it. If you are looking for this hidden gem, it is on Huron street, on the side where the red chinese pillars are. read more

This was one of the best cafes listed on Yelp, so I bookmarked it, hoping to visit in the near future. I finally got a chance to visit here with my friend and we were excited to try a new cafe! We came a few minutes after opening, but the place was almost full- it was a good sign! There were two friendly young ladies working. One of them took our orders and the other made our drinks. I ordered a Pink Rose Medley with tapioca (A herbal and decaf tea made with rosebuds, ginkgo leaf and beetroot. Floral, sweet and refreshing). My friend ordered a cup of hot latte. I enjoyed my drink- it was not too sweet, so it was a good contrast to the sweet tapioca. For next time, I am going to request to have less ice (there were lots of ice, so as time passed, my drink got diluted and it didn't taste as good as before). My friend said that her drink was good as well, rich and creamy. This would be a great place to meet friends, for a date, or to study. It's also easy to get to by transit. There are also smoothies, tea drinks, and desserts that you can try! Come for a visit to have a great time! read more

Bubble tea just after 3:30am. A lait night indeed. 24 hours cafe with a basic menu of drinks offered. There were a few people inside when I visited. Tried their hojicha latte with tapioca. No complaints, the tea had a faint nutty and roasted taste. I was able to substitute the milk with soy. Friendly customer service especially working during the early hours. read more

YELP TIP: Check-in for 20% off your bill Loved the original daango (thick sweet savoury soy sauce) and black sesame (not overwhelmingly sweet and loved the sesame crunch). 2 daango sticks/$5 is reasonable too. And it seems like they make everything to order & in-house! My friend got the Hojicha Latte which she said was really good! I got the Roasted corn latte with oat milk...IMO it tasted like burnt Tea/water (like genmaicha) which I personally don't prefer. I do appreciate the Soy, almond & oat milk substitutes with no extra fee though! read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem! Not only is it a 24 hours cafe, which is such a rare commodity in this city, but it also serves amazing drinks and snacks. It's tucked away on Huron street just off of Dundas and the interior is simple but aesthetically pleasing. The menu offers a variety of lattes and smoothies, and it is also very accommodating for people who are lactose intolerant and/or sensitive. The highlight for me at this cafe is definitely their snacks, namely the strawberry daifukus, the dangos with a range of toppings, and the coffee jelly! Th daifukus are fresh and the size is very generous, not to mention absolutely delicious! It's not too sweet and the mochi is chewy but also soft. I was also very impressed that the dangos are made fresh, which is very very rare here in Toronto! Lastly, the coffee jelly is to die for so if you have never tried it, you need to go! Overall, I would 150% recommend this cafe, especially if you love traditional Japanese snacks that's are freshly made and of high quality. The baristas are also very friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere of the cafe is relaxing aI already know I will become a regular at this place and I look forward to visiting more often in the future with friends! read more

Close to big trouble and tucked away in a small street, lait night is such a cute find! Their bubble tea isn't super sweet like all the other bubble tea places. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I love the fact that they can make these drinks with milk alternatives! I've tried the matcha, hojicha, early grey and roasted corn bubble tea...all amazing! My personal favourite is probably the roasted corn with bubble tea, you can really taste the corn! And I would recommend trying the early grey with coffee jelly, it's a pretty good combination. I haven't tried any if the desserts yet but I will definitely come back for those and to try all the other drinks! Definitely recommend! read more

Maybe you're a night owl or maybe you just wanna hang out with your friends without the stress of workers waiting for you to leave so they can close. Well, it's never too LAIT to to go to this cute little gem tucked in the corner on Huron street and Dundas because it's open 24/7. YEAH you heard that right!! 24 hours/day...7 days a week The interior of the place is very calming with their blue walls and they have a column of tables for you to sit at The menu has a good variety of drinks from coffee and tea to smoothies and some yummy Japanese desserts. You have the option to pick a small or large size, hot or cold, and additional toppings are $0.50 each (typical bbt toppings). I also really appreciated that they have dairy substitutes as well if you're dairy sensitive and can't have whole milk, there's an option to change it to soy milk or just have no milk at all. I know it's obvious, but the only thing I wish is that they advertised that the cold version of the drinks would be an additional $0.50 as well. For this time around, I got a large cold Uji matcha with tapioca and soy milk. mmmm it was sooooo goood! Matcha flavours were strong and having the soy milk substitute didn't change the taste at all and my stomach is happy about that too. I'm going to be returning if I'm in the area to try out their desserts because those daifukus and dango looked very chewy and cute to eat. 10000% recommend this place. Staff are nice and they have quality drinks. PS: the pictures that I'm posting for this is from a cafe birthday event for Tae and Jin from bts so just to let you know that there usually isn't any pictures on the walls lol read more

This place was overall okay, I first heard about it on blog to and thought it looked so cute and loved the fact it was open late. When we arrived the place looked a bit run down, I genuinely didn't think it was this small with this little seats. The drinks and desserts were on the expensive side which I expected.

Visited On: January 4, 2019 Would I Return: Strong No Ordered: -Kuromitsu Hojicha ($4.50) + Tapioca ($0.50) Thoughts: We arrived around 9:30 PM on a Saturday and it was very busy with only one seat left. While we were asking the cashier if they had more seating, a group left so we were able to get seats. The location itself is small, narrow and caters to many university students. I asked for some of their popular drinks and was told they were the Uji Matcha and Kuromitsu Hojicha. I decided to try the latter. As with usual bubble tea places, I wasn't asked for my sugar and ice levels. Unfortunately, the bubble tea was very disappointing for the following reasons: 1) The tapioca didn't taste fresh 2) The bubble tea almost tasted warm in temperature (I had requested cold not hot tea) 3) The tea itself wasn't anything special I usually never waste food/drinks, but it was so bad I just had to throw it out. For the size, taste and price, it definitely wasn't worth it. Not even with the 20% offer. Tip: Take advantage of the 20% Yelp check-in offer read more

Very good place to get a late night drink. I live nearby and I go often. Good wifi and good vegan food too

Came here on a saturday after dinner because myself and two others were craving some dessert. This shop is tucked into a smaller street along one of the busier streets of Chinatown. The atmosphere was chill and quiet unlike the rest of the area. We ordered the roasted corn tea and hojicha; both were very good and not overly sweet like most bubble tea shops sell them. The roasted corn drink was such a pleasant surprise as it was different than what you normally see but, it was delicious and refreshing. A must try if you're looking for something new! The hojicha was also very good as it was rich and flavourful. For food, we ordered the Ichigo Daifuku and red bean and black sesame dango. The ichigo daifuku was sooooo good!! The mochi on the outside was soft and chewy while the red bean filling was not too sweet, and the strawberry in the middle was sweet and juicy. A must try here for sure. The dango we got was warm and soft, although I didn't like the red bean as much, I would come back again to try other flavours. Overall, I definitely plan to come back and make this place a regular stop when I'm in the neighbourhood. It is also open 24 hrs so its a great study spot for students! read more

Yummy and fresh. Great customer service and ambience. The daifuku and dango were really nice Japanese sweet treats. Had it previously but it wasn't made fresh to order( so it took a while).
