Sisters Cafe located in Midtown Toronto along Hillsdale Ave near Yonge St. (south of Eglinton Ave)…read moreserves up coffee and pastries in a casual space. The local shop is owned by two sisters who run the cafe. There is both indoor and some outdoor seating and the space is accessible. The interior is cute where there are small touches throughout making it feel cozy and welcoming. Menu wise, expect your usual espresso based drinks including a lavender latte as well as pistachio latte. Signature drinks include a Persian saffron masala tea, chai latte, matcha latte, a strawberry banana matcha and a mango matcha. Pastries wise, they have a variety of croissants (almond, mango, strawberry banana, sausage, pistachio, dubai chocolate), sourdough bread (that uses no yeast, only water, salt and flour), and signature treats like a saffron cake and rice pudding. They also had a hazelnut chocolate cake as well. I stopped by Sisters Cafe on a Tues afternoon for a coffee and pastries. I opted to grab an iced lavender latte and the saffron cake. My drink took a bit longer than usual but it was nice to just enjoy the cozy space. Both the lavender latte and the saffron cake tasted great! The latte wasn't sweet with hints of lavender throughout. The saffron cake was moist and so delicious! Service was friendly and the owners asked me to take a seat after I had ordered. Overall, a great new cafe in the Midtown area! Perfect for a morning coffee, afternoon treat, or evening pick me up (they close at 7pm daily). Also, a nice cozy and warm space to enjoy some solo time alone or chill with friends and family. Love to support a small new cafe like this! Definitely recommend checking them out if you are in the area.

Isle of Coffee is a super modern and trendy café with such a beautiful aesthetic. The space is…read moreminimal yet incredibly inviting and thoughtfully designed. The walls and counter are a soft warm beige that instantly creates a calm and cozy atmosphere. Most of the seating is made up of benches along the walls paired with small cute black tables which makes the space feel both open and intimate at the same time. Every corner is aesthetically pleasing and honestly it is such a vibe from the moment you walk in. The café itself is quite spacious with plenty of seating which makes it a great spot whether you want to sit and relax catch up with a friend or get some work done. Despite how stylish it looks it still feels comfortable and not pretentious at all. The staff were kind calm and efficient which really added to the overall experience. You can tell they care about what they are doing and about creating a pleasant environment for customers. I ordered a matcha and asked for vanilla to be added and it tasted absolutely lovely. It was smooth well balanced and genuinely tasted like it was made with care and intention. The location is also great as it is on Queen Street East near Broadview which makes it easy to access and a perfect stop while exploring the area. Overall this is a gorgeous café with great drinks friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it if you appreciate good coffee and beautiful spaces.

Isle of Coffee ("I love coffee", get it?) is a beautiful coffee shop just east of Queen East and…read moreBroadview. There's limited seating, making it not-so-optimal if you're trying to take meetings or get work done, but perfect if you're catching up with a friend or dropping by for an espresso. Depending on what you're expecting from a local coffee shop, you're either going to be very impressed or completely underwhelmed. It's thoughtfully designed, very elegant/minimalistic, and makes great use of its limited space; I'm a fan personally. The coffee is great as well! I've tried the Brew Coffee and the Americano and I was impressed with both. Don't get me wrong - you're paying typical third wave coffee shop prices, but you'll be happy with what you get. Give Isle of Coffee a try next time you're in the Leslieville neighbourhood.

Came here to try their regular matcha. They offered to put sugar in it, but after being in Japan, I…read morewanted to try without and asked for their recommendation, and they said at least half sugar. Right away I know it wasn't going to be good matcha. However, I really like their Madeline, it wasn't buttery and not too sweet. The perfect snack. Just wish it was bigger for the price you pay for. I like their hojicha matcha more. This one is more smooth and you don't taste much of the bitterness to it. The cafe itself is a cute little cafe. It doesn't have too many seatings available.

There is free visitor parking in the building but you just have to let them know you're here for Vanta. I tried their bestseller/one of their most popular drinks, which is the iced military matcha but I preferred their strawberry matcha! I also tried their raspberry lemonade which to my surprise tasted more like a mocktail made with sparkling water and I didn't really find the "lemonade" taste there, so it wasn't what I expected. It was still good regardless. Staff was very nice. I found the iced Toronto Fog okay. I also tried some of their pastries and really enjoyed that crunch and freshness of their almond croissant. I love that they've got both a selection of sweet and savoury items to choose from, as well as lots of options to go. The sundried tomato savoury makes a great treat and you can ask them to warm it for you. I love the design and space, and although it's got limited seating (which makes sense since it's in a corporate building and I find most people just come to grab and go), I really enjoyed this place and would come back if I'm ever in the area.

Such a hidden gem in the area! Absolutely loved this cafe…read more It quietly sits inside the Mentes building and serves some of the best coffee and matcha in the area. I tried their strawberry iced matcha and the military iced latte and trust me when I say the military latte was the best drink I have had in a very long time. The coffee was smooth and rich yet it wasn't too sugary which was perfect! And the matcha? 10/10. Again, not overly sweet and you can taste the matcha in it. You can sit and work here as well which is an added plus!

Tips: - This beverage place is inside Hee Kee Seafood…read moreRestaurant. Use the restaurant entrance to access it. - This business is on Fantuan. On Friday, I was meeting up with a couple of friends at Hee Kee Seafood Restaurant for lunch. I had parked my car in front of both Cotti Coffee and the eatery. I walked into the latter. There was a woman with her two kids. They were going to Cotti Coffee through the restaurant. They held the door open for me. I thanked them as we all entered the restaurant. I noticed the latest Cotti Coffee offering. It was the double coconut collection. I was hungry and needed lunch. However, double coconut was calling out my name. I was intrigued. Our table was near the Cotti Coffee stall that is between the corridor to the washrooms and the tanks with live fish, lobster, and more. It's brilliant having a beverage place inside a restaurant. One of my friends and I are huge beverage people. We both got drinks after our meal to get us through the rest of the day. We were the only folks dining at the restaurant. It was fairly steady business at Cotti Coffee. My guess is that things get busier at the restaurant for dinner. Maybe folks getting a drink may want to do takeout. I would after dining at this restaurant! We both placed our orders online. My friend went first, as she had to go to work. She got a large iced stardust oat latte, which looked amazing. It had jelly in it. She told me later on that the coffee was strong, but she enjoyed this drink. If I had her drink, I'd probably not sleep for a full day. Before I left, I ordered a large iced strawberry matcha coco latte. There was the option to not add any sugar, which I chose. Fantuan gave me a pickup time of twenty minutes, which seemed excessive. The woman behind the counter was taking a breather. I decided to use the women's washroom and return to see if my order was ready. I got word that my order was ready in under ten minutes. Much better! I headed to the counter and matched the last three digits of my order with the receipt on the table next to my drink. I thanked the woman and grabbed my drink, thinking that it was in a sippy cup. She asked if I wanted a straw. I needed one, as it wasn't the type of drink that you could drink without one. Thank goodness my hearing is decent! The straw was a paper one and extremely sturdy. I poked it through the lid, stirred my drink, and had a sip. This drink was excellent. It had bits of strawberry in it. The matcha was smooth. The coconut beverage added a creaminess that I enjoyed. It was iced and delicious. On Fantuan, the regular size was discounted by 30%. I upgraded to a large, which came up to $6. Not too shabby! I'd come back and get more drinks. I like that it's a part of the restaurant. I can see myself getting takeout at the restaurant and a drink from Cotti Coffee. (364)

We came back and this time there were a few tables open to work. My boyfriend got the Strawberry Matcha, I got their Spring Blossom Latte with Oat Milk, and a Ginger Molasses Cookie. Everything we had was pretty good. The Strawberry Matcha was delicious, sweet, and the matcha was good. I love flowery flavors so the Spring Blossom Latte was perfect for me. I'm not sure if I've had a latte with citrus notes in it, but it paired well with the floral in there. And lastly, the Ginger Molasses Cookie was just great. It was like a Gingersnap cookie but richer. Also the cookie was huge! All their pastries looked really nice but I'm happy I got the cookie. There's many seating options in the cafe. There's a few stools lined against the wood counter by the front door facing the street. There's small tables in the middle, and there's also a couch in the back which I was surprised to find. I liked the photography that lined the walls back there too, it was like a surprise gallery. It was a very nice touch. I look forward to coming back and trying their pastries and drinks. If I was in the area, I'd definitely be a regular. It's a 4.5/5 for me.
