I ordered the acai bowl and the vanilla smoothie. I found it hard to eat the acai bowl, as it did not taste very good. The vanilla smoothie was more palatable, but it fell flat for me, especially at these premium prices.

I was in the area looking for local cafes, and I stumbled upon this place…read more First off, the desserts and sandwiches looked amazing! I've been trying to watch what I eat, so I only ordered the praline and hazelnut croissant, even though there were so many items I wanted to try. The croissant was amazing! It had a nice fluffy texture, and it was very sweet. Highly recommend! I also ordered the lotus latte. The latte was sweet, but not overly sweet. It had a biscoff like cookie layer on top which gave it a unique flavour. I enjoyed the drink, but I probably wouldn't get again. The service was quick, and the server was very helpful in helping me choose which drink I should select :) Definitely will be coming back to try more of the pastries!

second time coming here and it didn't dissapoint! I randomly called on a rainy weekday around 2pm…read moreto see if they had the nutella "cronut" croissant, they didn't have it but offered a alternative. The person behind the phone was kind enough to hold 3 pastries down for me, I think I only got lucky because it was rainy and not as busy. If it was a sunny busy day it definitely wouldn't have happened. Finally got to try the famous crossiant x cookie mix. It was honestly just okay. the two chocolate croissants were yummy! And i did get the matcha strawberry latte, personally wouldn't recommend as it tasted too artificial. Would definitely check them out since they're a local gem. Service is always nice and effective.

The spot was cute on the first floor and heard there's a second floor for larger tables. The interior was cute and decorated prior to the holidays. Menu is large with lots of food options to choose from. We got: Oxtail Marmalade 4/5 - This was delicious, braised and had a deep flavour of oxtail. It was a bit sweet and paired perfectly with the griddled bread and dijon. French Toast 4/5 - A thick 2 layer French toast with blueberry compote and marscapone cream. Great for sharing, tasty but definitely can't finish it on my own. Fries 5/5 - The fries were great and tasty. Cooked well and great for sharing. Overall, thought the place was a great neighbourhood cafe. Service was good. Make a reso ahead of time.

Went to Manita (Rosedale location) for brunch. Comfortable space with a homey vibe. The problem is…read morethat tables are quite close together and it gets loud. The volume level was such that it got difficult to converse with others at my table. Had to speak quite loud so others could hear me. Lots of tasty looking options on the menu. I decided to order the falafel plate. service was attentive and the food came out quickly. The pita and falafel were tasty, while the vegetables that it came with were fresh. I just felt like it was missing more of a sauce to tie everything together. Overall, brunch was a good experience and I would like to come back to try other items.

This place is cute, quaint, and also cozy. I had to do some online work so we came here. It was…read morequite busy when we arrived, almost every seat and table was taken but we managed to find some stools against the counter in the back. I got the Lavender Latte with oat milk and my boyfriend got the Apple Cider. I really enjoyed my latte: it was smooth, the oat milk was creamy and complemented the espresso, and the lavender shined through. It was a great latte. They had a vast menu with many drinks and breakfast items. They had so many pastries to choose from! From croissants, baklava, bread/loaves, I'm sure there's something for everyone here. The further you go inside, it gets dimmer and there's not as much light. The interior has alot of yellow lighting, so that paired with working in the back on my laptop was a little straining on the eyes for me. I would've preferred working by the front but all those tables were occupied. Also it seems like there's a good amount of people working remotely here. All in all, I liked it here and I would come back to try their pastries and Turkish coffee.

It's the perfect…read moreexcuse to step away from the laptop, conveniently located at Redpath and Eglinton (just a few blocks from the Line 1 station) and a 5 minute walk from my place. The staff is always friendly, and the mocha is a reliable afternoon pick-me-up. The interior is pleasantly dark and welcoming, with large cozy tables and low lighting that give it a snug, English-pub vibe. I often see other remote workers camped out with their laptops, though I've yet to commit to a full work session myself. My visits are strictly of the grab-and-go variety so far. What really sets this place apart is the authentic selection of English pastries. While I'm not a meat pie person, I love that they have them here. It's a nice little nostalgic nod to my time in the UK, even if I'm just ducking in for a coffee and croissant. A solid choice for a caffeine fix, a friendly face, and a brief change of scenery from your home office.

Clean, stylish decor, great service, and comfortable seating. The coffees and pasties pictured added up to about $25+tip, and a latte would run you about $8+tip, which is a bit expensive compared to other cafes. When I stopped by the other day the attached condo had its garbage day so the stinky bin was sitting outside and there is heavy construction going on at the intersection but normally the patio is a much better experience.

I used to frequent their old location often and the new location is even better. Creeds coffee how much do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. Your coffee is amazing. 2. Your coffee is consistent! You make the identical cup of coffee every time. You even have a timer to time the brewing. 3. Your space is inviting. There are plenty of seats and the place is warm, vibrant and hip. The Wi-Fi is consistent and the music is HIP. 4. Your staff is amazing. 5. You have excellent food (try the avo toast) 6. You have an excellent gourmet grocery store under the same roof. 7. You have dry cleaning services under the same roof. I do have one small suggestion. Please offer some cheaper alternatives to all the hipsters who can't afford some of the prices. Keep being awesome!

first thing i noticed walking in was how much space there was -- not just seating, but actual room…read moreto move around. a lot of coffee spots feel cramped the moment you step inside, so this was a welcome change. plenty of places to settle in without feeling like you're in someone's way. lots of work areas with power outlets! i ordered the turmeric tea and it was really good. didn't know what to expect going in but i'd get it again without hesitation. the spot also seemed to have another business connected to it -- or at least that's what it felt like. there were all kinds of things for sale: pasta, meat, soaps, lotion. it had this little market feel to it. they also had cooler drinks toward the back, which is worth knowing if you're looking for something cold. location is solid too -- about a 7 minute walk from the ttc station, which makes it easy to work into a commute or an errand day. bathroom was fine. nothing notable there. one small thing i noticed -- they were mopping the floor while customers were still around. i'm sure it's just part of keeping the place tidy, but it did have me watching my step a little. nothing major, just something to be aware of. would come back, mostly for the space and the tea!

A juice and smoothie bar that serves up frozen matcha!…read more I came here with one purpose only and it was to try their frozen matcha. The staff here were young but all very nice and welcoming. The frozen matcha itself was icy with really tiny ice pellets in it (wasn't as smooth as I'd like), but over I enjoyed the flavour. It was definitely extremely cold to drink since the ice pellets were larger than anticipated. The storefront is nice, selling lots of healthy snacks, whereas the back juice bar area had lots of seating. Overall, loved my very first frozen matcha here and could come back for more!

Twin sisters, Sydney and Ashley, founded The Hut in order to bring consistent quality products to the Muskoka area at first and now have expanded their business to Toronto. All the products featured in their shop are all curated with thoughtful ingredients and goods in mind. There are also some tables to enjoy your smoothies, coffee, and food as well. I stopped by The Hut Smoothie and Juice Bar on a Thurs mid morning. Upon entering the shop you walk past the many healthy grocery items on display where the cashier and coffee and smoothie bar is at the back. I decided to order a dragon fruit smoothie bowl (banana, dragon fruit, dates, and milk of choice topped with banana, strawberries, housemade granola, and natural peanut butter) as well as an Americano. My smoothie bowl and coffee were made at a reasonable time. The smoothie bowl was a good portion filled with the good stuff and I thoroughly enjoyed it (loved the housemade granola and the peanut butter!). My Americano was also made well. I sat inside enjoying my bowl. Overall, a nice addition to the midtown area for smoothies, coffee, and healthy snacks. Would return to try their smoothies!
