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.

I think this is one of the cutest coffee shops in Toronto with a cozy, artsy atmosphere. It does…read moreget busy every time I visit, but there's actually a good amount of seating inside if you're able to snag a spot. I'd absolutely come here to get some work done if I was able to get a seat. One thing I really love is that they sell handmade goods from local artists and host craft nights, it feels very community driven and adds such a fun, unique touch to the café. Drinks I tried: Maple Goguma Latte - Slightly nutty, lightly sweet, and super comforting. I added a shot of espresso, which made it perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Dalgona Latte - A really fun drink with great texture. Just make sure to stir it well since the sweetness settles at the bottom. They're known for their creative, seasonal drink menu, and I'm already excited to come back to try what they release next season. Definitely a must-visit if you love cozy cafés, unique drinks, and supporting local artists.

My favourite thing about this place was the decor and the giant labubu dolls lol. They have so much I want to try on the menu.

So much tea and matcha that you can grab to make drinks at home with as well. They also seem to brew fresh tea pots as well which is super cool. Team was very nice - kept the place very clean , including the bathrooms. - I think there could be a tad bit more lighting, but just a personal opinion. Hojicha latte was the perfect temperature for a cold day - and just the right amount of sweetness - Will drop by again in the future to explore the menu!

This is a tiny spot with minimal seating and the back area is currently under construction. They…read morehave outdoor seating area but not comfortable and inviting enough for you to enjoy your lattes. I have high hopes that the matcha here will be good since I always see this spot packed with people but was really disappointed when I tried their popular Strawberry Matcha Latte. It's incredibly frustrating to pay a premium price for a matcha latte only to end up with a dull, muted matcha flavour and overly milky drink. This is also one of those places that doesn't let you customize ice level so you're left with an over diluted drink that you can barely taste the matcha flavour. Their cakes aren't any better specifically the matcha roll cake. Tasted blah and has an underwhelming matcha filling. Yes the cake is soft but at the same time tasted gummy and has a dense texture which gives off a floury flavour. Unfriendly, unwelcoming and rude staff who leaves your takeout order on the counter without handing it over directly to you. Definitely will not return back to this place.

We got the Hojicha latte to drink as well as a chai latte and a breakfast cookie with a spinach and cheese brioche pastry. It was all delicious and everything came up to around $28. I did find the prices to be a little high, however the quality of the drinks and food were worth it. There is a decent amount of seating inside however it does get pretty busy (we were there on a Saturday afternoon). The drinks and snacks were prepared fairly quickly given how busy it was.

As a matcha lover you know I had to pay this spot a visit! I've already been to their other…read morelocation before and loved it, and their new location is just as good! The interior is really pretty, and there are a few high tops and tables to sit at. I tried two of their specialty matchas: Blu (Lavender Ube Blueberry) Matcha Latte: One of my favourites! Definitely very blueberry forward, I can taste the ube but I don't get much lavender. However, I'm not a fan of floral flavours so this was perfect for me. Coco Panda Matcha Latte: This has to be my favourite matcha in Toronto. The coconut taste is not too strong and the pandan flavour works really well with the drink. Just a note: with their specialty matchas, I feel like there are a lot of flavours going on so that matcha isn't always the star of the show. Personally, I don't mind that as I can make regular matchas myself at home, and I enjoy getting specialty ones when I'm out. Also, the drinks can also lean towards the sweeter side.

There should be a sign or the ramp should be painted yellow for extra safety. I ordered the hojicha latte - it was slightly gritty, but it might just be the hojicha they used? It wasn't the most pleasant texture. Flavor was light, not as nutty or aromatic as other hojicha's I've tried. They were selling the hojicha powder they use for the drink ($28, Kyoto hojicha powder) on the shelf next to the bakery stand, along with other matcha powders, coffee beans, and coffee accessories.

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.
