I ordered the acai bowl and the vanilla smoothie. I found it hard to eat the acai bowl, as it did not taste very good. The vanilla smoothie was more palatable, but it fell flat for me, especially at these premium prices.

I came here for a Yelp event before but they ran out of pastries. I was in the area with a friend…read moreand decided to give it another try. This time, I got the vanilla villa smoothie and my friend got the pistachio matcha drink. They were both great! The vanilla villa was tasty, creamy, healthy and full of protein. Also ordered the pizza pastry and the chicken cheese pastry. They were very fresh, crispy and both really good. They continuously replenish with new pastries. I was there from around 11-1pm and saw them bring so many different ones out from the kitchen. There's a small restroom that's located downstairs. There's some seating in the cafe but not very spacious. It's a cute corner cafe, in the summer it looks like they have some chairs outside too. I would not hesitate to come back here again.

I've been trying to watch what I eat, so I only ordered the praline and hazelnut croissant, even though there were so many items I wanted to try. The croissant was amazing! It had a nice fluffy texture, and it was very sweet. Highly recommend! I also ordered the lotus latte. The latte was sweet, but not overly sweet. It had a biscoff like cookie layer on top which gave it a unique flavour. I enjoyed the drink, but I probably wouldn't get again. The service was quick, and the server was very helpful in helping me choose which drink I should select :) Definitely will be coming back to try more of the pastries!

The spot was cute on the first floor and heard there's a second floor for larger tables. The interior was cute and decorated prior to the holidays. Menu is large with lots of food options to choose from. We got: Oxtail Marmalade 4/5 - This was delicious, braised and had a deep flavour of oxtail. It was a bit sweet and paired perfectly with the griddled bread and dijon. French Toast 4/5 - A thick 2 layer French toast with blueberry compote and marscapone cream. Great for sharing, tasty but definitely can't finish it on my own. Fries 5/5 - The fries were great and tasty. Cooked well and great for sharing. Overall, thought the place was a great neighbourhood cafe. Service was good. Make a reso ahead of time.

Went to Manita (Rosedale location) for brunch. Comfortable space with a homey vibe. The problem is…read morethat tables are quite close together and it gets loud. The volume level was such that it got difficult to converse with others at my table. Had to speak quite loud so others could hear me. Lots of tasty looking options on the menu. I decided to order the falafel plate. service was attentive and the food came out quickly. The pita and falafel were tasty, while the vegetables that it came with were fresh. I just felt like it was missing more of a sauce to tie everything together. Overall, brunch was a good experience and I would like to come back to try other items.

This place is cute, quaint, and also cozy. I had to do some online work so we came here. It was…read morequite busy when we arrived, almost every seat and table was taken but we managed to find some stools against the counter in the back. I got the Lavender Latte with oat milk and my boyfriend got the Apple Cider. I really enjoyed my latte: it was smooth, the oat milk was creamy and complemented the espresso, and the lavender shined through. It was a great latte. They had a vast menu with many drinks and breakfast items. They had so many pastries to choose from! From croissants, baklava, bread/loaves, I'm sure there's something for everyone here. The further you go inside, it gets dimmer and there's not as much light. The interior has alot of yellow lighting, so that paired with working in the back on my laptop was a little straining on the eyes for me. I would've preferred working by the front but all those tables were occupied. Also it seems like there's a good amount of people working remotely here. All in all, I liked it here and I would come back to try their pastries and Turkish coffee.

It's the perfect…read moreexcuse to step away from the laptop, conveniently located at Redpath and Eglinton (just a few blocks from the Line 1 station) and a 5 minute walk from my place. The staff is always friendly, and the mocha is a reliable afternoon pick-me-up. The interior is pleasantly dark and welcoming, with large cozy tables and low lighting that give it a snug, English-pub vibe. I often see other remote workers camped out with their laptops, though I've yet to commit to a full work session myself. My visits are strictly of the grab-and-go variety so far. What really sets this place apart is the authentic selection of English pastries. While I'm not a meat pie person, I love that they have them here. It's a nice little nostalgic nod to my time in the UK, even if I'm just ducking in for a coffee and croissant. A solid choice for a caffeine fix, a friendly face, and a brief change of scenery from your home office.

The cafe itself, while tiny, is brightly lit from the large windows and offers a wide range of menu items, from their drinks, to baked good like muffins, to energy balls. I got a regular iced latte with almond milk ($5.25 plus $0.50 for the milk alternative). It was not overly sweet and was a great midday pick me up! I've heard great things about their iced sweet latte, so definitely will be coming back to try that. Their scones also looked delicious! Service was quick and the staff members were super friendly. There were some office workers on their lunch break here and some bar stool seating by the window as well.
