This place has been open for awhile and we wanted to try for some time…read more Ambiance - 4/5: The place is small but they have maximized the seating area. Prior to this, it was a ramen place. The bathrooms are neutral gendered. Service - 4/5: they sat us pretty quickly as it was quiet when we went. We ordered via the QR code. They checked in on us a few times Food - 4/5: the food was good. At first, I thought it wouldn't be filling because it looked small but it was actully filling. We ordered: - burger steak omurice: the egg was runny like it is supposed to when you crack into it. The burger was medium to medium well but moist and seasoned lightly - curry udon: the curry was flavourful, just a tad salty for me. It carried throughout the whole dish - tako wasabi: the wasabi really packed a punch. I think this is the spiciest I've ever had (not in a bad way, just didn't expect it) - sea salted edamame: lightly salted, the edamame was slightly undercooked in my opinion - Mango Kori: similar to a mango slushy. It was good Overall: 4/5 - a great little place for a quick bite. I would come back

It's located close to my sister's home, so I always make sure to stop by whenever we visit her. It's become one of my favourite places to enjoy a taste of home.

They have amazing pastries, full of flavour, and definitely a touch of uniqueness and creativity. I had gone for Mother's Day with my parents, and they offered free gift bags and a flower for all mothers, how sweet! If you're looking for a place full of love and delicious treats, I recommend this cafe!

There's also a few tables if you want to dine-in. Service was quick with order taken and drink made right away. No additional prompts at time of payment for tips. The lids are also not made of plastic like most other places, so that's pretty unique. The Oat Latte I ordered tasted great, no burnt taste or sourness like some other places. There's a lot of available street parking.

Such an aesthetic café with a clean, bright, and cute vibe. The drinks are not only pretty but…read moredelicious too. I tried the coconut drink with matcha cold foam, super rich coconut flavor that paired perfectly with the matcha. I originally wanted coffee, but the owner recommended it since it's popular, and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend got a hot latte with a strong coffee flavor, which we loved. We studied and read for a bit; the soft music makes it a perfect spot for studying or hanging out with friends. They're only open Fridays and weekends, so be sure to check their Instagram before going for more accurate hours. The owner is incredibly kind and even brought our drinks to the table. Also their prices are tax included which is why on the menu they seem a bit more pricey. There is also no tipping. Definitely coming back!

Venue 4/5 Right in…read morethe heart of old Richmond Hill this cute café has very nice decor inside lots of fresh pastries at the front for when you walk in as well as desserts. Perfect for group or social functions with friends. Parking wise, there are a few parking lots at the plazas nearby. Otherwise it is limited street parking on Yonge Street. Service 5/5 Staff were very attentive and helpful in menu clarifications as well as providing alternatives. The preparation time wasn't too long so we were able to get our food shortly after we ordered. Food 4/5 We have the iced Matcha latte with a chicken Caesar salad today they mentioned they had lattes with fruits that I will certainly try another time . As this is a Persian restaurant, they have Persian favourites and traditional dishes. They also carry a diverse breakfast and lunch menu, catering to Western dishes.

This would be my 3rd time coming here and the experience keeps getting worse and I've hit the final…read morestraw here. Came for a nice brunch with my husband. Lots of seats, booths all around the sides. Great to work in here to be frank. Here we go: - friend chicken energy bowl: too much rice, very little chicken the size of a small chicken thigh. Good taste but the chicken needs to be larger. - Beef Shakshuka: too much bell pepper, over-cheesy, cannot see the eggs and how it's supposed to be. Slices of onion & peppers made it very difficult to pick up; inconvenient to eat - Bread for the shakshuka: my husband ate the top part, didn't inspect it, and the bottom piece had mould, which was disgusting. He definitely ate some but you wouldn't expect to check your food in detail until it's too late. We called the server and he said sorry and got another piece of bread. No recovery service whatsoever, it was as if they gave us the wrong sauce on the side then changed to the correct one. We paid and left. To me, unfortunate things can happen in the kitchen and restaurant, but without real service, it makes the experience horrible. I would not be coming back here again for sure.

A Hidden Gem with NYC Vibes & Central Perk Charm!…read more Took my bestie to Ravine Cafe today for bunch to celebrate her birthday, and we are still buzzing. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere hit that perfect sweet spot, that classy but cozy, with a definite New York City energy. Think lots natural light with big windows, warm and welcoming lighting, and that effortless "cool" that made us feel like we have stepped into Central Perk. Only things missing is the big orange couch and the oversized coffee mugs. The menu? Bougie without the sting. We both had the eggs Benny, while mine was the Cajun shrimp (unique and flavourful), hers was the classic bacon Benny. They were both beautifully plated, yet surprisingly reasonable for the quality. What really sealed it was the service. Staff was attentive and smiley, but the owner stole the show, came by, chatted for a solid 15 minutes, and shared the restaurant's backstory. Felt like old-school hospitality, not rushed commercially influenced like most of the commercial restaurants in the area. Perfect for a brunch gathering, a date, or just pretending you are in a rom-com. We will for sure be back, and with more friends. Thank you for the great service and amazing food!

I love anything lychee, so this was a no brainer and it went well with the raspberry. It was however a bit on the sweeter side and I wasn't a huge fan of all the fondant. I prefer the Garden one, but would want to try out some of their other ice cream cakes too. I did find it odd that they charge for the chocolate plaque where the message was written...and they weren't able to make changes to it even though I called a few days in advance. I was told they already made them in advance so no changes could be made. Not sure why they didn't have the option of letting me pay for another plaque to be rewritten either since they just stuck it on the side of the cake so not like it would ruin the cake..?

I don't recommend asking for less sugar for this drink since it's perfect the way it is. Will come again the next time I'm in Toronto :)

It was my first time here and i was surprised to see that they also have seating here as well. I was intrigued with their seasonal menu and I'm so glad I checked them out because their drinks were delicious and well rounded in flavour. Opted for their blueberry latte and peach jasmine cloud and both drinks were so delicious! The blueberry latte had a nice subtle blueberry flavour with the coffee. The peach jasmine cloud on the other hand was refreshing but had that savoury cheese foam on the top as well that worked well with the drink pairing. What a great local coffee shop with nicely curated drinks in Markham. Worth checking out for sure.

They have a relatively extensive menu for a cafe spanning typical coffee/espresso-based drinks, tea lattes, salted cheese foam (so creamy!), and speciality tea & coffee lattes. As someone who loves visiting cafes, I'm always on the lookout for unique drinks. I tried their Honey Cream Latte, which had the perfect combo of espresso (not too bitter or bold, but it doesn't get drowned out by the other ingredients), foam, and a light sweetness from the honey. Their matcha lattes looked great too, so I'll definitely have to return for those. The main downsides - parking can be tricky in this plaza, and there is limited seating inside.
