    Regular small coffee with almond milk and a protein ball
    Abigail P.

    I got a regular small coffee with almond milk and a protein ball for $5. The coffee and protein ball were fine, nothing special, a bit pricy for what I got in my opinion. I read a lot of reviews complaining about the bad customer service... I did not have that experience, but I only interacted with the staff for a few minutes when I ordered. Also apparently they do not offer wifi which is not ideal if you are trying to study here. They also had indoor seating capped at 30 minutes, but I stayed for an hour and it was fine. I am not sure if this is because of covid or if this is their usual policy. The main attraction for this place is the ambiance of the location. The coffee shop is located in a cute courtyard in Byward Market which you can enjoy on their patio. They also offer indoor seating. Overall, I would go here again on a hot summer day to grab a coffee and pastry with friends maInly so I can enjoy the nice ambiance on their patio.

    Dirty Table

    Well here we go again, This is Planet Coffee. Why planet coffee if your coffee options are so sad? I was skeptical about visiting this place just because it seems like there is nothing special about this place. I have this thing about feeling if the place is great or not, but maybe because I studied and worked a lot in customer service industry. Their stuff is fine, but not really welcoming and the overall atmosphere is not great. The only table that was available was next to their washrooms and I decided to take a chance. You can see a picture of a dirty table I included with this review. That's it. Oh yeah, there was a tramp next to the washroom who tried to say hi to me.

    Vegan cookie with cooked spider I guess - A close-up image shows a chocolate muffin with a cooked spider attached to the bottom edge, held in a person's hand. The background includes a white plate and a bowl with some remnants of food. The setting appears to be a casual dining area, and the focus is on the muffin and the spider.

    The customer service was not friendly at all. I was with my friend we had lemonade, ice coffee and vegan cookie. Drinks were not great they were just okay. The cookie tasted good but there was a fly in the cooked dough of cookie. When I show it to stuff working there, they didn't care, they didn't even say sorry. They were looking into my face like what you want us to do. I was very disappointed by their attitude. I added a photo of the insect. Guess what?

    a coffee grinder and a menu - The image shows the interior of Planet Coffee, featuring a black wall with the business name in white script. A menu board lists prices for hot drinks, and various coffee-making equipment, including a grinder and a large stainless steel fridge, are present on the counter. Overhead lighting illuminates the workspace, and shelves with cups and supplies are visible in the background.

    This is the best place for true "Italian " coffees. No Starbucks here. Thank you xoxo

    Stumbled here one night recently and this placed looked very cute, especially with the outdoor seating right into the market. If you're looking to have a long outdoor chat with some old friends without using your phone, this is the place to be. If you're looking to get studying done and you're alone, not the best as it has no WiFi and only one power outlet. The black coffee is mediocore, but the prices are fair. The staff are very nice and the place is decently clean inside with nice seating and space. Cons- Theres no Wifi Theres only one power outlet, in the corner Poor place to study Pros- Staff were nice The location is beautiful as its in the market Theres gorgeous outdoor seating Would i come back again? Yes, If i haven't seen a friend in a while and want to catch up for a few hours outside.

    Chai latte and americano

    Umm.. I don't really have much to say about this place so I'll keep it short. We decided to try the coffee at this place because it looked cozy from the outside. However, it was nothing cozy on the inside - the tables were dirty and ours had crumbs on it. The customer service was not very friendly - the cashier just wanted to get done with our order as soon as possible and wasn't really helpful with suggestions. I won't be returning to this place again.

    See all

    Moo Shu Ice Cream & Kitchen - Vietnamese coffee & brownie ice cream sandwich in packaging

    Moo Shu Ice Cream & Kitchen

    (111 reviews)

    Yummy!! Always fun to go and try the new flavours. The new location is spacious (I would say at…read moreleast 5-10 tables for seating) with warm lighting (and strong air conditioning!). There's also a small public square with some benches outside that will absolutely be useful for busy summer nights. My recommendation is to grab an ice cream sandwich bar from one of the freezers where you line up to order - great textures, fresh flavours, and lots of fun. Easy to split with a loved one! Prices are a bit high, but Moo Shu sources local ingredients (with the names of local farms on the flavour signs!), and pays employees a livable wage. It's a great place to stop by and support, while trying a delicious new flavour. Their new location is absolutely a step up :)

    It really pains me to write a partially negative review of a really cool place like Moo Shu Ice…read moreCream & Kitchen, but if a flavor is inedible, that's a pretty big deal. I showed up around 9:00 on a random Tuesday and the place was impressively packed. The line was snaking out the door but it moved quickly. I've always been a huge fan of French Onion Soup, so when I saw a flavor called French Onion Scoop, I obviously had to get it. It's not good. The quality of the ice cream itself is top-notch (i.e. it's super creamy) but the flavor is just kind of gross. Plus there's a lot of sautéed onion in there and I think there's a reason onion and ice cream have never been combined before. I ate some of my cup but wound up throwing most of it away. To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, Moo Shu was so preoccupied with whether or not they could make a French Onion Soup inspired ice cream flavor, they didn't stop to think if they should. (I should note I also tried a couple bites of their DunkaMoo's ice cream sandwich and it was really delicious, so obviously they are capable of making an excellent product.)

Ended up getting the pistachio and Dubai chocolate croissant. As for the drinks, we got the matcha and the Hojicha with espresso shots. They serve coffee from Hatch (which is probably one of my favourite back in Toronto). Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the croissants fresh but they were still tasted buttery and flakey. The flavour and sweetness was the right amount (perfect for my Asian tastebuds). The drinks were also really good! It was pretty busy inside but there's plenty of seating (might not be great if you want to chill and study but great for hanging out with friends). Service was good, staff is friendly and our order was made fairly quickly. I would come back and try other things on their menu if I'm ever around the area.

Plus, their croissants are big in size and are great for sharing. Their place is beautifully decorated with lots of seating. The workers were kind and friendly.

The Dubai Chocolate was decadent while the Pistachio Rose was nutty with a delicate taste of floral.

I was in the mood for a Sfogliatella (lobster tail pastry), so my husband and I went to Little Italy to get one. Pasticceria Gelateria Italiana has been around since 1979, but I had never been there before. They had a large selection of desserts and gelato. We took our pastry to-go, but they have some seating both indoors and on their raised front patio and street-level side patio. The Sfogliatella was $7.49 which is the most I've ever paid for this pastry. Fortunately, it was delicious. Very crispy and flakey on the outside and softer on the inside with a generous amount of cream. I prefer the ricotta cheese filling slightly more, but I like the cream filling too. It was light and airy and not too sweet. Service was efficient and pleasant. The shop has a one way flow, you enter one door and you follow the arrows and exit a different door. The area to wait for service is narrow, so this process prevents congestion and crowding. I like it. Great for the occasional treat, but a bit too spendy for me. (77)
