Just upon entering I was greeted warmly by the staff and the interior was charming - with cute messages drawn on canvasses, it really gave a very warm feeling. I ordered their cafe mocha latte (confirmed it came with the latte art - that was important!), and their shredded chicken naan panini. Food and coffee were ready in 5 minutes and I was OBSESSED with the latte art that the barista surprised me with. It took me a lot of mental strength to actually ruin the art and drink the coffee. But the coffee was so delicious that it actually made up for it! It was a rich taste of coffee and dark chocolate and tasted divine! Oh and the panini? Delicious! Perfect balance of chicken, greens, tomato and a flavourful sauce packed with yumminess. I am going to be back for more!

This morning, I had one of the best Parma ham and Gruyère cheese croissants I have ever tasted. It…read morewas perfectly warmed, with stringy cheese on the inside and a beautifully crunchy exterior. You can immediately tell that the butter used in their croissants is of the highest quality, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I paired it with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which had just the right amount of pulp, and a plain croissant on the side that was equally delicious. The true highlight, though, was the pain au chocolat loaded with premium chocolate that melts in your mouth. Arash, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming. He makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. I'm definitely going back soon, and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you have not already.

To be honest, the store and decor are so much better than the original store. Maybe because there's usually more traffic in the PATH, so it takes more time for them to keep up? Anyways, the store was cozy and clean and I felt extra welcomed as soon as I stepped in. I got my usual flat white and of course it came with latte art :) They sell more beans and merchandise than the original store, so definitely check it out if you have a chance!

Excited that Brick Room opened a second location that is NOT in the path and open on weekends!…read more I've had the drinks at Brick Room before and they're always very innovative with their creations. Checking out this location it's all vibe and super adorable inside. They even have a little back outdoor patio space for you to enjoy your drinks. The only reason that this isn't a 5 star is that their drinks are definitely on the sweet side and this is throughout their locations - think they can scale back on the sugar for sure! Opted for their new seasonal mango sticky rice matcha latte which was really good and loved the bits of sticky rice in my drink. But it was on the sweeter side of things. Would've been perfect if they scaled back on the sugar content. Overall, delicious drinks with a rotating seasonal menu. Worth checking out, especially their new space is great for enjoying your cup of caffeine.

I've been a big fan of ACE bakery breads in the grocery store. They have a cafe? Hey, I'm in!…read more The interior is chic and industrial. Service was laid back and a bit slow considering what we ordered, but it wasn't busy and they had only opened moments before we got there. Needless to say, all their breads are amazing! And there is always a special on a different one of their loaves every week. They create a new signature sandwiches every week in addition to their primary offerings. Hello pulled pork!! :L *drool* Unfortunately, I was there in the morning. And while the Brekkie sandwich satisfied, I would have liked to try a lunch option. I will be back!! Hidden dab smack in a commercial zone most would miss this gem. I would recommend stopping by for lunch instead of going to Metro for a soggy sammie. For about the same price you get a gourmet bun.

My favourite lunch combo of all time is a soup and sandwich. Unfortunately, I haven't found…read moreanywhere in Toronto that does a really good one. Some coworkers recommended Ace Bakery due to its proximity to our office, so I ventured out recently to give it a try. The soup of the day didn't sound overly appealing to me that day, so I just ordered a sandwich. I was craving smoked salmon, but when I asked for it without dill, they said it's pre-made and already mixed in. Ok, pass. I chose the Italian grilled cheese instead. When I opened the sandwich, I could barely make out any cheese inside. I found the bread to be too thick for the amount of cheese and it was quite dry as a result. I also felt the type of bread was a bit too overpowering for a grilled cheese, but this is just my personal preference and I'm sure many others would disagree. It was ok, but I prefer a place that allows you to build your own sandwich. This place is better suited to people who want something quick and are not overly picky about what's in their sandwich.

There is a 2 hour seating limit and they have free wifi with paying customers. Got an iced tea and it was refreshing and the perfect pick me up after lunch. Parking is a little tricky since it's street parking right outside of the cafe, which is green P and has to be paid for. Overall, it was a cute environment and had a great selection of drinks and sweets to choose from. Check them out if you're in the area.

It has great natural light and a ton of cool plants scattered throughout. The wifi was strong, but there was a two hour limit for hanging out inside. I grabbed an iced latte to sip on while I worked and it was tasty. The service was very friendly. There's street parking out front but it is limited, so keep that in mind when heading there. I lucked out and got the only spot available at around 2pm. Overall, I would keep this coffee shop on my rotation if I lived near by and I would totally come back to try their adorable macarons.

For starters, the cashier/server greets you in a friendly, Italian way. Secondly, the food itself - it's amazing. I've had a few things - the omelettes, the lasagna and the Baretto panini. All of them excellent. And the service itself, also outstanding. You don't expect table service at a cafe, but Baretto has it anyway. After you've finished your meal, the waiter (who might also be the owner, I'm not sure) asks how everything was. You get the sense that it's not just for politeness, but he really wants to know. All in all, Baretto Caffe is a consistent, pleasant, delicious experience through and through.

Been meaning to try out this Italian cafe after hearing some great things about it. Finally found…read moreit and loved the experience! Staff are very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Expectation wise? Don't expect Michelin star chefs or fancy interiors. It's a very humble setup in a non-traditional office building with staff who go the extra mile to assist customers. My pasta was made on the spot by the same person who took my order and made my espresso. He was a very honest, hard worker who served customers while making the food and drinks from scratch. I watched him meticulously cleaning all the cooking equipment, espresso machine, countertops, surfaces, and cleaning the floors after serving his customers. I was very impressed by his work ethic and dedication. I tried the penne pasta with mushroom and sausage topped with Alfredo sauce. It came with garlic bread and salad. Their number one ordered meal. So good! The penne pasta with rossa sauce (rose sauce) came with chicken and mushrooms. I prefer the Alfredo sauce as it was rich creamy and delicious. However what made my experience a good one was the hospitality and attentiveness of the staff. In today's fast food world, good service warrants a higher star rating!

Food: Outstanding pizza. We had the Calabrese and it was excellent. The crust was perfection. Service: Also outstanding. The server was pleasant, helpful, attentive. Ambiance: The design of the building, inside and out, is lovely. Modern, yet Italian music was playing over the speakers, like one would want in an Italian resto. The bad: Well, not really too bad, but to our taste, the over-all lighting was a bit much. This place would be well served with the light turned down a good 50% or more. Sexier and romantic. And candles, even the battery operated or rechargeable ones, an ambiance would be knocked out of the park. In any case: Highly recommended.!

We came specifically to try their Spaghetti Cartoccio, which unfortunately didn't turn out as well…read moreas we hoped. The homemade squid ink spaghetti only faintly tasted of squid ink and didn't pair that well with the tomato sauce which overwhelmed it. The mussels were not open (sign they aren't fresh) and had sand or pieces of shell in it. Tiger shrimp was a good size and the calamari was tender. It wasn't a hit at the table. The rest of the dishes were much better. I would recommend the pizza or the Vitello Saltimbocca instead. Pizza had great texture and the toppings are creative. Dessert of tiramisu is light and delicious, that was a winners.
