    Ordered: Iced Sweet Corn Latte (~$8 CAD) Aya's take: Project Seoul is a Korean cafe located on the second floor. It's bright, minimalistic, and surprisingly spacious! They have a few signature drinks but the Iced Sweet Corn Latte stood out to me the most. Koreans tend to use corn in desserts and drinks for its subtle sweetness and what better place to try it than here! The espresso is naturally bold & bitter while the corn flavor gives it that buttery, sweet flavor. It was also super creamy, smooth, and comforting. Definitely a good try!

    This is a Korean café. It is located on the second floor. We ordered the following: 1. Chocolate Croffle ($10.99). 2. Earl Grey Chocolate Cake ($9.99). 3. Sweet Corn Latte (iced $7.49). 4. Hojicha Latte ($5.79). The Chocolate Croffle is freshly made with Banana, Chocolate Ice Cream, and Chocolate Syrup. The Croffle was crispy and airy. It was delicious. The Earl Grey Chocolate Cake was also delicious. The Sweet Corn was a layer below coffee. The Sweet Corn on its own was subtle but requires an acquired taste. It was good when mixed with the coffee layer. The Hojicha Latte was good. The customer service was good. The interior has a modern vibe. There are many tables. There are electrical outlets with 2 USB-A charging ports each outlet. There is quiet piano music playing in the background. If you show them a Google review, they will give you a free handmade Dalgona. We got a heart-shaped one. There is free WiFi. The cafe is not wheelchair accessible. There are two female washrooms and one male washrooms, all of them are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-263

    We stumbled upon Project Seoul right when it opened! It's on the 2nd floor, so you take the stairs up to the entrance. The menu and variety of pastries are displayed right when you enter - the space is very very cute! If we had more time, I would've loved to sit and take in the atmosphere. If I lived in Toronto, I think I would also love this cafe as a study spot. We got the pistachio bow pastry, a sweet corn latte, and a regular latte. My only complaint is that although they had just opened, they only had a few pastries in the display window, and when we tried the pistachio bow, it tasted a couple days old.. I hoped they would have freshly baked pastries. The drinks were really good though!

    The inside of this cafe is a lot bigger than I expected! The space feels really open with tons of natural light. When I visited they had a cute Christmas tree up and light Christmas jazz playing which set a super cozy atmosphere. There's a lot of seating and when I arrived around 1 PM on a Sunday it was maybe half-full. By 2 PM though it got really crowded and most of the seats were taken. This is definitely a popular study/work spot as I saw a bunch of people on their laptops. Just a heads-up though, there is a 2-hour seating limit on weekends, so plan accordingly. They had a nice display of pastries and cakes, but I ended up getting one of their drinks. I tried the sweet corn latte (less sweet). I'd rate the drink 7/10, the sweet corn flavor wasn't too strong and the latte felt a little bit watery. I think I was expecting something closer to the creamier SooSoo latte style, where you get the sweet corn cream topping. Here, the corn sits at the bottom and the drink is lighter overall without the cream top. I did notice a lot of people ordering their matcha lattes, and they have some fun flavours like blueberry, banana, etc. So I'd come back to try one of those next time and perhaps do some work there as well.

    This is located on the second floor of another restaurant and it's easy to miss the signboard that says it's on the second floor. We climbed the stairs and we were surprised to see so much seating capacity inside the cafe. And the place was packed on a sunday evening! The barista was really friendly and sweet - I ordered a mango matcha iced latte with less ice and he made sure it had less ice and more of the drink lol! It was my first time trying mango matcha and I was happy with the taste but I think I prefer strawberry or regular matcha over mango. Just my preference. They also had a variety of desserts like basque cheesecake, orange cake and so many more items that looked so delicious but I was full so didn't give them a try. Maybe next time!

    Project Seoul is one of the best workspace cafes in the city. Located on the second floor off of Spadina, they have a front to back facing space along the whole building. The front has bar seating facing the street down below while the back has a small balcony area and the place just flows with energy and fresh air. There are tons of individual or 2 people seating (with bigger tables reserved for 3-4 people to share) that has to seat at least 60+ people. Most of the patrons are there to chat/meetup or working on their laptops. The music is a nice ambient level and when the place gets busy near lunch or the after work/school rush, you won't be hearing your neighbor much anyway. They have some plugs available (maybe 20ish outlets, nearer to the front), but those seat are normally held down by the regulars, so get there early or come with a power bank. Their free wifi is great, no issues and you get the sense that people are there to work, no drama, just do your thing too. Their drinks were great, the sparkling nades and lattes are pretty spot on, they are tailored more to the Asian flavor tastes. Like corn and match lattes, etc. My go-to cafe to get work done. Have a look and see if you enjoy the vibes.

    The space is bigger than I thought, laptop friendly, and 99% same style with cafe I've visited in Korea! Love their matcha drinks, not overly milky, and the foam is rich!

    A very cozy chill cafe, great for both chatting and studying! It has free wifi with a purchase and outlets along one wall. The matcha itself is decent. When I went it was quite busy and there were only 1-2 seats free, understandably as it was around 2-3pm.

    Project Seoul is a new Korean coffee shop located along Spadina near Baldwin St., near Kensington Market. It is located on the 2nd floor above a Korean BBQ shop where there are a sit of stairs to navigate (not fully accessible). The aesthetic of the place is calm and relaxing where there are hints of green and wood throughout. The coffee shop has plenty of seating available where it is the perfect place to do some work or hang out with some friends. The menu has both caffeinated or and non-caffeinated beverage options, baked goods (cookies, croissants, cakes, etc.), as well as bingsu (Korean shaved ice). They do open later in the morning but close late at night. I stopped by Project Seoul after seeing the place on Instagram on Thursday morning a few minutes after the shop opened. The place is popular as more and more people started showing up. I opted to grab a cappuccino as well as matcha financier. Staff provided me with a buzzer to notify me when my order would be ready (which took about 5 min). I picked up my order at the counter and sat down. The atmosphere of the space is super relaxing. The hints of green and wood bring the indoors inside. The plants fill the space which creates an inviting and welcoming place. There are also cute framed prints all over the coffee shop as well. Coffee wise, my cappuccino was okay. Not the best I've had but not the worst either. The matcha financier didn't have much of a matcha taste. I'd be curious to try the bingsu and matcha drinks next time. Definitely do love the ambiance of the place - a perfect place to work or get together with friends!

    The absolute best strawberry matcha drink I've ever had. The creamy layer of matcha on top was unique and definitely a great take on this type of drink. They also have a lot of seating and enough space to come with a group and they are open till 10PM. I'm definitely going to go back.

    Hazelnut Latte
    Susan L.

    I am a huge lover of cafe workspaces and Project Seoul hits off all of my wants. It's a beautiful space with LOTS of seating. I can definitely see myself working here lots and there are spots with outlets as well. Additional they have free wifi which isn't always the case for some cafes. It does feel like it's been designed as a nice workspace. I got the hazelnut latte which was a bit sweet for me, but the size was good and price is comparable to something you'd get at Starbucks. Service was quick and easy as well. Definitely a great work space and just as lovely of a hangout/coffee date place as well.

    What a hidden gem. you would not know it until you get to the 2nd floor! It's so nondescript from the outside street level you would miss it. Once you get upstairs it's huge from end to end and I think there's a patio at the back. Super busy on a Sunday afternoon with lots of students (?) all working on their laptops. It's got good lighting. Clean. 100% like cafes in Korea. This one is very minimalist but still got good vibes. And they offer all kinds of hot and cold drinks and snacks like slices of cake and cookies. Like a typical coffee house.

    Hazelnut iced latte & pear tea
    Kateri

    My friend and I came here yesterday and we enjoy it. It was super super packed when we got there but lucky we were able to get a seat on the patio. They have lots of seats and 3 smaller tables on the patio. We got the mango bingsu, blueberry cake, hazelnut iced latte & pear tea. I really liked the apple mango bingsu and the latte. I think the tea could have been a bit sweet but it was still really good. I wish the cake was a bit more moist and fluffy but other than that it was good! The staff was nice and our order was made pretty quickly every though it was busy. They're very organized because they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. They have WiFi and lots of outlet so it would be a good spot for studying as well.

So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

    One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

    Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

    I heard that this was a must have when traveling to Toronto. BeaverTails did not disappoint…read more I went straight for the BeaverTails, although they do offer other delicious options. We ordered the Bananarama and Coco Vanil. They are both awesome, although if I could only choose one, I'd go with Bananarama. It was amazing. I'll be coming back for more in the days to come. The service was fantastic. The individual that helped me was very nice. She had several recommendations. There is a nice patio to enjoy your treat, along with the views. Like I mentioned before, I'm definitely coming back for more. I highly recommend you visit BeaverTails when in Toronto. You will not be disappointed.

    I'm so glad I FINALLY got to try Beaver Tails when I came up to Toronto. I remember seeing it from…read morean old Cartoon Network show (Anyone else remember "Stoked") and I knew I just had to try it when I finally got up here. I got the Avalanche (Skor,Cheesecake, and Caramel) and I loved that they stretched the dough when we ordered and then start frying it right there. It really ensures that we get freshly fried Beaver Tails at the peak of their deliciousness. After I got mine slathered with the toppings I ordered, I dug in and as expected, it's really hot but SOOOOO good. It's like the concept of a donut only thinner and crispier, thus resulting in a much better texture and crunch throughout which I very much prefer over a donut actually. The cheesecake spread mingling with the sweet caramel, crunchy toffee bits, and crispy hot dough is just such a perfect combination. It's a bit of a mess to eat but sooooo worth it. It really is such a shame that there isn't an establishment like this in NYC because it could seriously do some REALLY good numbers over here I reckon. I HAVE to get this again when I come back up to Canada (unless ya'll want to build a place down across the border haha).

When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!
