Paper Route Café located along Kingston Rd near Brookside Dr. is the newest coffee shop in the…read moreUpper Beaches neighbourhood. The neighbourhood café serves up caffeinated beverages (coffee and tea), cold drinks (juice, sparkling water) as well as baked goods (muffins, cookies, quiches, scones). The café is bright and welcoming where the accent wall with the yellow wallpaper brings life to the space. There are a number of tables to enjoy your treats and beverages as well as wifi if you'd like to get some work done. The café uses Pilot Coffee beans as well. I stopped by Paper Route Café on a Monday late morning to grab a cortado. I also ordered a banana coconut oat muffin. The coffee shop only had a few customers and service was friendly where my coffee was made at a reasonable time. I sat down to enjoy my coffee as well as enjoy the space. As the sunlight filtered through the big windows at the front, the brightness of the café filled me with happiness. Such a cute wonderful place to spend some time alone, with friends, or with family. I ate the muffin later in the day for snack and it was moist and delicious with hints of coconut that didn't overpower the other flavours of the muffin. Overall, a great new addition to the neighbourhood! Definitely will become a new favourite among the locals for sure.

Amazing crust, fair portion size, and little pinches of flavour that was delish. I could not taste enough truffle, though. The service was nice. The space was pretty but they put my near the window which decreased the aesthetic a lot.

This one offers a make at home pasta (truffle funghi muffalada) at very reasonable price imo. I was enticed by their pizza offerings as well as they aren't the one's offered at their other location. While a bit greasy I enjoyed the flavors for this vodka pizza. Give them a try if you enjoy their pasta and food at other locations as they are priced well.

This second location is located outside on the beautifully picturesque cobblestone road named Temperance Street. The building is historic and the calm interiors make you feel instantly at home. The staff was really nice and told me about their menu and seasonal items. In addition to coffee and matcha based beverages, the store offers food and merch as well. Apparently this location is a laptop free zone, offering an incredibly welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle of financial district. Today I ordered a cortado. Before you even drink it, the fragrant coffee smell hits you. A bit sweet and almost fruity. When drinking it, the flavours amplify and provide an overall sense of calm, a breath of fresh air. It doesn't just feel like a regular old coffee but that you can take your time with it, like having a conversation with an old friend, it is meant to be savoured. I absolutely plan to go back for one of their seasonal matcha beverages and to get away from it all. 5/5

I did like the flavor of the regular hot matcha latte more, plus they made a very cute bunny latte art on it! Inside is small with minimal seatings but has a cool ambience for hanging out.

This is an amazing place. The store has 2 big rooms: 1 for dogs and 1 for cats. We chose the dog…read moreroom. There are at lease 6 dogs inside, they were friendly and active. 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.

The small coffee shop primarily is doing take out only although they do have about 3 tables inside. They serve a variety of caffeinated beverages as well as baked goods. During their opening day, they were offering complimentary coffee. I stopped by Venom Coffee on their opening day after work ~4:30pm. I had followed them on Instagram and was aware of their opening. Upon entering, although the AC wasn't working properly but staff were extremely friendly and nice. I opted to get a complimentary iced Americano. Staff also stated that I could take home any pastries they had for free as it was end of day as well. I only opted for a butter croissant (that chocolate croissant looked good too - however, it was a hot day and I was not returning home just yet). Overall, friendly staff, great pastries, and good coffee. Do check them out if you are around the area!

I ordered an Americano, what I received was one of the worst tasting coffees I've ever encountered. It was weak , weak, weak so weak that my coffee turned white with a bit of cream. It honestly tasted like drip coffee from a cafeteria, no joke, just awful tasteless coffee. Super disappointed to be honest, as this shop is at the end my street and was hoping to have some great coffee in this area, this area has nothing oddly. But man this coffee was just terrible. Can't say I'd recommend or return. That grind they used must have been the size of pebbles as all it created was brown water. The coffee tasted stale too. If you open a shop that only serves coffee, you should really ensure you know how to make it properly. and that you use fresh beans. beyond disappointed.
