He was very interested in their "Monkey Bread" which is highly reputed, but by the time he went in, it was sold out.... but he got # Butter Croissant # Pain au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant) # Vanilla custard croissant All are very good, as their croissant base was very good. If things are wrapped or topped on this base, everything will be good. Just that it is monotone when I wanted to try variation and creative twists. But I should not ask this as encountering quality croissant itself means i am lucky enough! A well-made croissant is the touchstone for bakery quality. I want to try their well reputed Monkey Bread. It should be good! :)

The tart was really delicious, I'd highly recommend. My friend really enjoyed the croissant; it was super crispy and filled with Nutella.

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

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.

However, they don't really check on you throughout the meal or ask if you need a refill, you just re-order on the app. At the end, you pay at the front. On to the food and beverages. They have a small bar serving craft coffees and cocktails. I've had the latte there and it's delicious. I also love their sangria. I get it for brunch every time. I've been for both brunch and dinner and loved it. For brunch I got the shrimp cake eggs benedict. I love their shrimp lollipops at dinner, so I knew this would be a hit. The shrimp cake is crispy and delicious and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly with a very balanced hollandaise on top. I like the side of potatoes that are crispy to soak up the yolk and hollandaise. A tossed frisee salad rounds it out with some freshness and brightness. I also had their Banh Mi on another visit and I love their take on it. It has chashu pork belly, and fried chicken that is crispy and juicy. The Vietnamese pickled vegetables, cucumber, and cilantro balance the rich meatiness with some brightness and crunch. Very tasty sandwich. The tuna mashed potato salad is a nice variation on traditional potato salad, and the spring mix salad is a perfect accompaniment. For dinner, I've had the shrimp cake lollipops -- these are just amazing. Crispy and light, but flavorful. With a bit of tartar sauce on the side. We also had the Foie Gras and Chicken Liver Parfait which is luxurious and heavenly. It's layered with berry jelly on top and served with crunchy baguette and house pickled shallots which give it a shot of acid and brightness to offset the richness of the dish. The steak tartare is also delicious, with quail egg, capers, onions and fresh herbs. The star is the crispy dumpling skin its served with. What a fun take on tartare. Lastly, we got the tarragon fried chicken which is crispy, juicy, flavorful and herby. There's really no way you can go wrong having a meal at Chillax and Co!

I originally came here looking for somewhere I could enjoy coffee and Japanese curry, much like…read moreLeBlanc from Persona 5. Yes, that was actually my motivation for finding this place. I ordered the Tori Katsu with Curry, which normally comes with udon. I asked them to remove the noodles since I don't particularly care to load myself up with unnecessary carbs. The katsu was nicely crispy, and I enjoyed the curry. My wife had the Hamburg Omurice with brown sauce, which she ate most of, although I managed to steal a taste. She preferred the brown sauce, but I actually liked the omurice better with the curry from my dish. Here's why. Eggs have a wonderful mouthfeel, especially when cooked properly, but their flavour on their own is rather blah. The curry really brings out and maximizes the flavour of the egg. The brown sauce was fine, but the curry made the whole combination much more interesting. Which brings me to a suggestion for the restaurant, assuming someone there actually reads these reviews. Why not offer a Hamburg Curry Omurice? Combine the hamburg, egg, and curry into one dish. Better yet, offer a version without the mountain of rice for us carnivores who are healthier than those who still think we need to stuff ourselves with carbohydrates. More meat and eggs, less filler. You're welcome. One little detail I appreciated was the subtle Christian reference to John 3:16 in the WiFi information. It's nice to see a business that isn't afraid to show a little of its Christian identity without making a big production out of it. The total came to $50, including taxes and tip, after the cash discount. Considering justinflation, along with people who don't understand economics thinking that raising the minimum wage is somehow a good idea, has helped jack up the prices of practically everything, I would say this wasn't too bad. Would I come back? Absolutely. Perhaps not on a Sunday, though. I normally avoid coffee on Sundays so I can sleep in more, which is rather unfortunate considering that coffee and curry were the whole reason I looked for this place in the first place. Next time I'll make sure it's a coffee day so I can properly enjoy their Americano alongside the curry and get that LeBlanc experience I originally came looking for. Now, about that Hamburg Curry Omurice. Seriously, put it on the menu.

When I went in I was greeted with a wonderful aroma of baked goods, they had a wide selection of different cakes, cake slices, cookies and other frozen items (I went in after dinner so I imagine the selection was a bit less). The cakes all looked so good and ranged in prices, I was originally interested in a lotus cheesecake or tiramisu, which were $10 a piece. I found these cake slices, I think it was 3.99 or 4.99 each and as I wanted to try a few things I picked 2 flavours. I tried the pistachio one and a berry one (sign said red velvet but I think it was incorrect as it tasted like a mixed berry cake). I really liked the berry one! It was a good mix of being not too sweet, a good flavour profile and not being too dry due to the jam like top. The pistachio one was a bit on the dry side, it was good but I would say that I would gravitate towards the berry one if I had to pick. The staff were really nice and they also had some hot drinks, I think they were close to closing as everything was turned off but I would like to try it in the future. Overall I would return, maybe I would try a cheesecake if I was eating in the store with a nice coffee.

Composing my out-of-office auto-reply is, quite…read morehonestly, my favourite workplace ritual, since it is always the last thing I do before departing on holiday/travel. The café sits in Cathedraltown, Markham. The suburb may be sleepy, but it is undeniably picturesque, with the Cathedral of the Transfiguration rising in the background and gilded by the afternoon sunset. As a relatively new neighbourhood, it is serene and immaculate. The café itself is small and cozy, with charming interiors, including a wall of faux cacti behind the seating area. I adored the palette: warm and inviting, refreshingly free of the affected pretension that besets so many boutique cafés these days. On the barista's recommendation, I ordered the iced tiramisu latte, whose cold foam is evidently a favourite among regulars. It was surprisingly light and refreshing, the house-blend espresso settling nicely over the milk and lending a subtle nuttiness, never bitter or harsh. That said, I do prefer my espresso drinks bolder and more velvety. The pricing leans steep: $7.50 after tax for an eight-ounce drink. Still, the barista was delightfully gracious, and the space is so welcoming and restorative that I left unbothered.

Free parking behind the coffee shop as well. The only downside was the lack of outlets in the shop to charge your laptop. I sat beside one outlet but it didn't take my plug and kept coming out. It was also warmer than usual, so I wish the AC was turned higher because it was very hot inside the coffee shop. I ordered the matcha latte with oat milk. It was OK. It seemed more like a milk drink than a matcha drink based on the ratio. I would definitely come back and try out their desserts though. They look very good.
