A lot of well known cocktail spots either don't have anything on their menu other than charcuterie or the taste of the food don't make the cut but this place was different. The food and the drinks both were quite good. Their drink menu is curated by the bar team with a lot of thought and it shows in the presentation as well as taste. Tried quite a few drinks including their negroni where they added a scoop of sorbet inside the drink and it blew my mind. The pork sliders were gret, highly recommend getting that for food. The prawn ceviche had a lot of flavour too so make sure to try that as well. Good location, good food and great drinks!

A nice, convenient spot for a drink and/or snack, close to the subway and many other amenities.

This place is a hole in the wall diner that seems to be quite popular but it's also one of the only places in the city that opens up at 6am in the morning. And I love the music selection they have!! All music I've been listening to recently so it was so vibey. They're accommodating with the menu ingredients too. I ordered a smoked salmon sandwich that looks like the bread was made in house and I got to switch out the cream cheese with hummus. (It was delicious by the way.) This place pretty much Had me dancing in my seat. And you can stay for as long as you wish! If you're in a rush for quick breakfast or need a place to chill out for a bit... it's like those diners in movies where you can just make friendly with everyone. So cute. So so sooo cute.

We'd both previously been to their…read moreFinancial District location and I'd also visited their Harbourfront venue a couple of times as I live close by. We arrived around 3:30 pm when it was fairly occupied; they feature 'Happy Sour Hour' from 4 to 7 pm, during which all of their sour beers are reduced in price to $7.00. We ordered and shared two beers, the first a lager, the second a sour beer in order to take advantage of the discounted price. The venue is long and narrow, with two floors and a distinctive looking back patio. Our service was fairly prompt and they are located in a quite convenient location, literally across the street from the subway and the historic, flagship LCBO location. So I can recommend a visit if you're in the area and desire a drink and/or snack.

This is new boutique café that opened in Feb 2025, in Toronto Chinatown (Spadina Ave). They offer…read morethe typical coffee/latte drinks but also have a set of interesting Matcha drinks; they import their Matcha ftom Japan. They also offer a few pastries. You can see them making the drinks. They definitely take pride in making their fresh Matcha drinks, such as Strawberry Matcha, Mango Matcha, and Coconut Matcha. I ordered the Iced Mango Matcha ($6.75). It was absolutely delicious! My wife and son also loved it. The drink itself looked beautiful. The Mango taste is not overpowering. The service was good. Starting May 2025, on a Sunday (possibly morning), there will be themed events. The interior is bright and clean. There is limited indoor seating: 3 seats at a very low counter and 3 seats at a high counter. They also sell packaged coffee from De Mello and packaged tea from Genuine Tea Co. The cafe is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are no washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-068

Next time we will try a regular roast as I expect there to be more rich flavour profiles. Very aesthetically pleasing with some seating along bright windows. There are some pastries available as well. I tried a chocolate chip cookie $3.25 and it hit the spot. They were able to heat it up for me, too. All on all, pleasantly surprised by this new shot! Really enjoyed the drink and ambiance. Service friendly. We will be back.

Or if I need a stiff cocktail to forget some things - also my stop. It's obvious that this small shop is a passion project for the owner & manager of the bar and you can feel that each night, while sitting at the bar. Also to note is they have fun theme nights, like bring your own Vinyl night as well as others. I would 100% recommend stopping by for a fancy cocktail

Cork & Bean Oshawa chose to call the police on a peaceful, paying customer for wearing pro-Israel…read moresymbols and having a calm conversation. Let that sink in. My friend -- a Christian, not even Jewish -- was meeting with a pastor for coffee. He was wearing an IDF jacket and a Star of David necklace while discussing a recent trip to Israel. No shouting. No confrontation. No disruption. Just coffee and conversation. An employee called Durham Regional Police. Officers showed up and told him his conversation was "offensive." When asked what was said that violated policy, no one could answer. No rule cited. No clear complaint identified. Just vague discomfort -- and removal. So what exactly triggered this escalation? Not behavior. Not threats. Not harassment. Symbols. And Israel. Calling the police on someone because others don't like what he's wearing or the country he's discussing is cowardly and discriminatory. Businesses don't get to selectively silence viewpoints they don't agree with. And weaponizing law enforcement to remove someone over perceived "offense" is an outrageous abuse of discretion. If Cork & Bean believes visible support for Israel warrants police involvement, they should say that publicly. If they don't, then they owe an immediate explanation and apology. Until management addresses this directly and transparently, this establishment does not deserve community support. Do better.

Goldstruck Coffee located along Carlton near Yonge St. is a Toronto coffee chain with 3 locations…read more I remember trying their Yorkville location many years ago where it left me underwhelmed. Fast forward to a few years later, I decided to hit up Goldstruck Coffee again recently since I was in the area looking for a coffee shop that opened early in the morning. This particular location does have seating for about 25 customers where you are able to dine in or take out. Menu wise, Goldstruck Coffee has your classic espresso based drinks (espressos, lattes, cortados, flat whites, cappuccino), drip coffee and pour over, teas, matcha, and other alternative drinks like the mushroom latte or hot chocolate. Signature drinks include the halva latte, cayenne latte, and caramel latte. They also have canned sparkling waters as well. Food wise there is a display filled with pastries (muffins, cookies, scones, croissants) as well as sandwiches from Feast (a Toronto based company). They also have pre-made crepes as well. I stopped by Goldstruck Coffee close to their opening time around 7:30am (it's great they open that early!). When I arrived, surprisingly there was another customer already enjoying their beverage there. I opted to get a cortado and an egg and sausage sandwich (from Feast) which the staff heated for me. Staff were friendly. Enjoying the quiet space, my cortado was made well and even came with latte art. My sandwich took longer to heat up but that was okay. The sandwich was decent. I wasn't a huge fan of the taste of the sausage where I should have opted for the egg and bacon sandwich instead. However, I finished my food as well as my coffee and placed my dirty dishes in the container clearly labeled for dirty dishes. Overall, a decent place for coffee in the area if you are looking for somewhere that opens early!
