CAUTION: during the winter months, watch your step at the front. It was extremely slippery with the snow melting and short ramp to get in through the front door. 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. read more

My hubby and I were exploring the area and stumbled over this coffee shop. It's located on Bloor Street West and it was quite busy during a long weekend. We visited in the afternoon around 2pm and the shop was busy. They have a couple of tables outside and inside there were about 3 tables, two tables by the window and some individual seats with a single table each. I ordered the hot hojicha latte and it came in a ceramic Japanese inspired bowl which i thought was different from a usual mug. They served a few small pastries which I didn't try because I was too full from lunch. The customer service is very good and I really likes the interior decor - simple and clean. It's a great spot to catch up with friends, people watching or getting some work done. I would highly recommend this spot the next time you're in the area! read more

Cute, chill cafe that's conveniently located in the heart of Korea-town. They have the best iced matcha lattes around and a fantastic selection of non-dairy milks (macadamia milk anyone?) Their pastries are just as delicious as their drinks. My boyfriend bought me their dorayaki on a different day and it was so soft, moist, and yummy. I loved the dorayaki so much that I came back to try their Financier which was amazingly buttery and moist. The baristas and cashiers are all very kind too. A must-visit spot if you're in the area. read more

A cute small coffee shop in Ktown, this place was a nice spot to rest after a long walk. This is a nice spot for chatting with friends but also quiet enough to do some studying or work while drinking a cup of tea or coffee. I got the hojicha latte in this cute large cup, and it was the perfect temperature to immediately start drinking. I think the only concern I have is if I let it sit for more than 5 min, the drink will become cold. Also tried the iced vanilla latte, a solid drink that was surprisingly lighter than I expected, but not an overpowering sweet vanilla flavor. read more

We stopped by on a whim for a quick caffeine boost and ended up not only staying for the delicious drinks but also the immaculate vibes. My girlfriend got the yuzu-ade and on a hot sunny day, this yuzu-ade was refreshing! If Ninetails mass manufactured this and put this in a can, I would guarantee you I'd grab a couple of cases. As for the ambiance, I love it. Everyone is doing their own thing, there's lo-fi (I think?) being played in the background, the staff is also relaxed but ready to help any customers; overall, it was just a relaxing place to either get work done or just hang out with some friends. Yes, it's a bit small but there's amazing use of space and despite it getting busy, people were able to find seats. I'm glad we stopped by on a whim because whenever we return to Toronto, we'll be back! read more

Ninetails is a cafe that specializes in japanese desserts, savoury food and drinks. It's a cute local cafe along Korea town with welcoming vibes. Although, I didn't try out their drinks, I really enjoyed their dorayaki. As I tried it out awhile ago, I had their monthly special dorayaki that consists of gelato, homemade chocolate drizzle and fruits. It was a nice light dessert that would go along with a drink such as tea or coffee. Overall, a positive experience with friendly service and great variety in their menu to choose from. The only minor issue is that its limited seating so if you do plan to sit, it would be advisable to try to come early or during non-rush hrs to get a seat. read more

This is my favorite coffee spot for all things matcha, and I'm definitely coming back when I'm in the area! They make their traditional matcha tea just right. It comes in a traditional bowl, still foamy and the flavor is rich and bitter, just the way I like it. It pairs very well with their matcha financier, which is lightly sweet and has a matcha flavor you cannot miss. Their matcha cookie is more like a shortbread in taste and texture. It was very buttery and at first bite that was all I could taste. However, the matcha gets more prominent as you take more bites and it begins to taste like a creamy matcha latte after a while. It is on the sweeter side so make sure you pair it with a bitter drink--like traditional matcha! read more

It was my first time trying Ninetails Coffee and I can happily say I want to come back! I ordered an iced latte and the brew was nice and strong, plus she made it extra sweet for me when I asked :) The food is displayed very nicely and the coffee bar is so aesthetically pleasing with the decorations. The service was awesome and it was quick, the baristas are so pleasant and confirms your order as well. The ambiance inside the cafe is very nice definitely a good place to study, have a coffee date or even just catch up with friends. They have seating in both indoor and outdoor! read more

We were in the area so dropped into Ninetails. Being a fan of Neo, we had to check out their sister store. I love the decor - French tile pattern coffee bar with bare wood flooring and walls. Their coffee selection is great with some unique in-house drinks. What is a show stealer are the desserts. They have macaroons that have animal faces on them and some unique cakes like black sesame cheesecake. I picked up three dorayaki (typically two small pancakes with red bean sandwiched in between). Ninetails makes unique dorayaki though - custard and strawberry shortcake! Good for: coffee, sweets read more

Best matcha latte in town! I stumbled upon this little and quaint coffee shop while roaming K-Town. I don't drink coffee so I cannot comment on those items, but their matcha latte is a must-try! I can tell that they use high quality/ceremonial grade matcha thanks to the vibrant green colour and the crisp and slightly astringent taste. They have a good selection of plant milk (oat, macadamia, soy and almond) for those who are lactose-intolerant like myself. Also, highly recommend trying their matcha financiers as a treat to go with your latte. :) read more

Very calming place for a tasty and flavourful coffee. They offer various coffee beans with particular glamorous notes. It's a remiss not to mention about their pastries, one of the most popular menu is Dorayaki (red beans, matcha and custard), tastes not so sweet but flavourful. The staffs are very welcoming, and willingly to suggest if customers don't know what to choose. The atmosphere is very calm and chilled as the concept, according to one of the staff, is a "short trip to Japan". Lofi songs are played to contribute to the surrounding. Wifi is fast enough to work or study. Highly recommend if you are looking for a Japanese style coffee shop with Zen concept and delicious drinks. Cheer ! read more

Ninetails Coffee Bar is a new coffee shop that is located in Koreatown near Bloor/Euclid. This new Japanese inspired coffee shop uses de mello palheta for their coffee/espresso beverages and serves a variety of food items (like dorayaki!). The interior of the coffee shop is welcoming and warm where there is ample seating throughout. There are about 8-9 tables where the café has around 20 seats. I stopped by Ninetails Coffee Bar on a Saturday around noon where the café was half full. I ordered a flat white (with oat milk) and an avo toast with a ramen egg. After ordering I sat down and my food was brought to me at a reasonable time. The flat white was made well and the avo toast with the ramen egg was unique! The toast had avocado topped with nori (seaweed), a ramen egg (that had a slightly runny yoke), and spicy mayo. The combination worked well together and the bread that the café used was not hard to cut through. Overall, a pleasant meal that was filling. Overall, service was friendly at Ninetails and the coffee/food was great. Would definitely come back to try the dorayaki! read more

Came here on a whim as I was in the neighborhood. I've been on a latte/coffee shop hunt lately and I was not disappointed! I got their matcha latte and apple turnover. The latte was tasty, the latte art was on point and I love their apple turnovers, the crust is flakey and buttery! And not only is the interior filled with apples but it's also jammed packed with apple sauce too! What better way to start the week than with the perfect cup of latte, and some pastries in this little chic coffee bar! read more

3.5*? GREAT...if you're having a seat to enjoy your caffeinated drink. Décor is a mix of Scandi meets Japanese minimalism. Clean, bright, & simple. Pricey if you're just doing a grab 'n go. I believe the baked goods towards the back wall are made in-house, as per signs. Whereas the pastries in the display case at the cash, may be delivered / made elsewhere. Latté art will be lost underneath the plastic lid. Expect to pay $11 for a tea latté + a made elsewhere pastry. Pear danish was good! The Hojicha latté had an initial great flavour, but it soon faded and all I tasted was milk. So personally, I wouldn't order this again 'cause I just felt like I paid $5.50/6 for a glass of hot, flavoured milk. I wanted to try their dorayaki, but I was being thrifty after seeing the size - it was probably the size of a sand dollar for $5.25. Unique concept café, wouldn't be opposed to going back, spendy for just takeout! read more

Yummy red bean Doriyaki. A creamer take on it. Friends also enjoyed Americano and espresso tonic.

This cafe is such a good spot to just study and get work done. Although it is placed in a slightly busy location, the cafe is calm, and usually only has a few people there. Ninetails is also open during COVID, as well, so that's a plus :D soft jazz + great pastries = productive day （＾＾） read more

Visited ninetails coffee bar and ordered their cinnabon croissant and matcha latté! Their cinnabon croissant is a must if you visit!!! Frosting was delicious and the inside of the pastry was so soft just like a cinnamon roll. Their interior is really pretty and cozy as well! They have a decent amount of seating places but I do suggest going early if you plan on doing some work and staying for quite some time! read more

Cool little Japanese coffee shop. I really like the vibe of the place and the energy of the barista. He was really friend and made good conversation. Ordered an Americano and croissant combo, which is available before 12pm for $6, and a matcha latte and dorayaki combo for $8. The matcha latte was expertly poured and was probably the best matcha I've had. The dorayaki was soft and not overly sweet. read more

I visited Ninetails for the first time yesterday and will return. The café is beautiful and relaxing. It is busy, so seating may be a little tight. I ordered a latte but accidentally grabbed another poor customer's cappuccino and took it to my table. After I had already started drinking the cappuccino, one of the friendly baristas let me know I had grabbed someone else drink and brought me a latte without making a fuss or making me feel stupid for my mistake. Thank you, Ninetails. read more

Ninetails is a new cafe on Bloor West in Koreatown. The cafe itself seats about 15 people. Their single washroom is wheelchair accessible and is nicely decorated in beautiful tiles. Coffee is from local de Mello Palheta coffee roasters. Pastries come from a French catering company in Richmond Hill, and these include almond croissants, caneles, ham and cheese croissants, and pain au chocolat. I believe their dorayaki are made fresh daily in house. Ninetails has been described as Japanese themed. However other than a couple of menu items and some Japanese-like decor, i failed to see the connection with this description. Drinks range from $3.50 for an espresso or Americano, $4 for flat white, $5 for a mocha or matcha latte to $7 for "traditional matcha with sweets". When I inquired what the sweets are, I was shown some Japanese candies that are served with the matcha beverage. I ordered a mocha with oat milk (available for 75 cents extra) and purchased the last canele and dorayaki,. The dorayaki pancakes were soft, not too sweet, with a slightly caramelized flavour and an ample amount of custard between the pancakes. I enjoyed the soft bread pudding-like texture inside the canele but the exterior was not as crunchy and caramelized as I would normally expect a canele to be. The coffee in my mocha was strong, not too acidic, with an unsweetened deep chocolatey flavour. I enjoyed the creaminess of the oat milk. My friend had a matcha latte which was also unsweetened and served in a nice earthenware bowl. Overall my friend and I enjoyed our experience at Ninetails, and I would like to return to try their avocado toast with ramen egg. read more

Superb! Especially now that my favourite barista is working here. I love how their pastries are also so tasty and on-point. Hopefully they will also carry drip coffee soon. Being a coffee purveyor, I love all kinds of coffee depending on my mood. They are also one of the far and few places that has the selection of Macadamia Nut milk as substitute instead of milk...which is Awesome!!! I hope in here whenever I am around this area. read more

I was looking for a place to warm up and get an early start on some work and this was the first cafe open in the area. I warmed up with a cup of delicious cappuccino, complete with beautiful latte art and a chocolate spoon on the side. The space is cozy and warmly lit. There are lots of spots to sit and work; the wifi is fast and the outlets are a plenty. It's also very nice to see an accessible washroom in ktown where everything is more cramped. Love this new addition to ktown! read more

I passed by this cafe everyday while staying near K-Town and was intrigued by its minimalistic style. The coffee and food were however just slightly above average.

Found this cafe on Blog Toronto. Tried the Apple Turnover and Red Bean Dorayaki with Traditional Japanese Matcha. The pastry was good. The outer crust was flaky and the apple inside tasted delicious. The red bean Dorayaki paired well with the traditional Japanese Matcha. The bun of the Red Bean Dorayaki was moist and soft and the red bean paste was creamy. One could tell it's not made from a machine. This is a nice and relaxing place for snap or afternoon tea. read more

My new favourite place for a coffee. My friend and I picked up the habit of going on walks on Sunday ever since the lockdown happened and we decided that Ninetails was going to be our go-to spot based on serveral things. 1) it was conveniently located right in the middle of both our places 2) they have dorayaki 3) the aesthetic !! 4) yummy coffee (and tea options) 5) their other baked goods are awesome too 6) THEY HAVE DORAYAKI!! - try the special flavours so yeah! If you want dorayaki and coffee definitely check them out. read more

Wohoo! New cafe in the Annex area! Ninetails is a new cafe in Koreatown and it is pretty great! I had the cortado which was rich and creamy - just the way I like it. I had a croissant sandwich. It was filling, fresh, and delicious!! I would definitely come back and try out their other baked items as everything looked amazing! The staff members were very patient with my many questions and they were both very genuinely kind people! The space had many tables and outlets, allowing for a pleasant work space and it was not too crowded when I was there - & I was there for an entire morning! It is a smaller store, but quite cozy and the aesthetics of the cafe is simple and pleasing to the eyes! I would definitely recommend coming to try out the great coffee and food at this cute cafe! read more

Honestly feel this owner is inept and unprofessional. Have been here several times and usually I get the Asian barista who is super friendly and genuine. Then I come in and get the owner (confirmed later), who not only doesn't know how to make a cappuccino, he seems more interested in doing Tinder or whatever on the phone or whatever. Anything except engaging with customers. Really disappointed and embarrassed to find that this great shop is run by a person like this. shouldn't be working with peopKr. anyways, if you want an actual "Asian type cafe" , go down the street to Rustle and Still. 100% better in every way and cool Vietnamese vibes. Those who know know. Obviously. read more

Although I've only been here once so far in the winter, I'm definitely coming back in the summer time when I'm in the area. It's a really cute coffee shop near Bloor and Bathurst if you want to go somewhere to kill some time or read a book. There's a decent amount of seating, but I guess depending on when you go, it might be fuller or emptier. I got the flat white and a croissant, both which were very tasty. One of the baristas, pretty sure it's the owner, was kind enough to bring my warmed up croissant and even picked up the plate afterward. He also asked how I liked my food. I feel like these types of interactions are rare with customers and baristas because I think coffee shops are typically just grab and go. Flat white was fantastic, I'm no coffee snob, I like when the beans don't taste too acidic or florally. I also like that they didn't ask me what size I want because a flat white should only be in the 8oz size. read more
