One of the most viral cafes on Instagram and one that the PM himself has visited…read more The interior is very charming and the staff are very welcoming and will explain the menu to you very nicely. The coffee was average though. I tried their mocha and thought it would be a little more chocolaty but I was a little disappointed. The natas were good but my favourite was the chocolate mousse. Very creamy and the flavour was really good. We also tried the ham and cheese sandwich and I thought it was very well done! Overall a pretty good cafe to spend some time at.

Even though I have never been to Portugal this place certainly has that European vibe. It's a cozy…read morespot that has really good sandwiches and Portuguese tarts We ordered the Carnita sandwich and it took about 20 minutes to heat up. The sour dough bread was perfect with the meat and cheese. We also tried the Portuguese tarts and they were super fresh. Right out of the oven!! We loved it so much :). The custard wasn't too heavy. We also ordered these tiny pastries that taste and look like mini empanadas. They were amazing too :) We went back to order more food because we enjoyed it so much. The wait was longer this time round so they offered us a box of Portuguese tarts for the wait - which was so sweet and kind. We try appreciated that! Total unexpected. The latte was amazing too. Definitely would go back!!

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars…read more Ambience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied This is one of those places that makes you question why you haven't tried it all this time. I am trying to cut back on sweets but for what they serve here in willing to break that rule. This place is not that big but the side is very cozy. We were seated in the back area and it was a very bright and comfortable spot. It seems like it would be nice to just order a crepe and a beverage and just relax here. For food I ordered the biscoff crepe while my partner ordered the pistachio. The biscoff crepe tasted exactly as you would imagine what a biscoff crepe would taste like. It was a bit on the sweet side but not overly so and I really enjoyed it. All in all, a good place to grab a drink and some dessert and just hang out. If you want to order a crepe cake you need to do it ahead of time in case you were wondering. Definitely worth checking out.

Cute little creperie and brunch spot that makes a lot of their own stuff. I haven't tried their…read morebrunch but went here for crepes and drinks, and liked it. Got the biscoff cheesecake crepe and golden latte. The crepe was small but reasonable for the price, had a good amount of cream cheese filling and a generous amount of biscoff spread and crumble. The golden latte was smooth and creamy and a tasty jumble of spices. The space itself is comfortable and homey. Service is quick, friendly and informative. Menu has a lot of interesting and inventive items. Overall, a very warm and welcoming spot to lounge around, chat away, and enjoy yummy food.

The restaurant is on the second floor, and the entrance is on the side of the building…read more It's a very pretty cafe, and there was a good mix of people working there on laptops, as well as couples on dates and families getting brunch. They have an extensive menu, and it all looks really good! We got the Chicken Karaage and Croffles, which really hit the spot if you like sweet and savory food! The Karaage was really well done and complimented the croffles. We also got the creme brulee souffle pancakes, which were well done! However, I do wish there was more of a caramelized top for the creme brulee. In hindsight I do wish I got a more interesting flavor like Ube or Pistachio since they have a good selection of flavors, but the creme brulee was still pretty tasty! I'd say order another flavor instead though. The souffle pancakes also take 20min to prepare which took longer than their other dishes, but as long as you're sharing plates and can eat something else until it comes then it's all good! Staff was really nice and attentive. Definitely coming back and trying more of their menu!

CAFE N ONE . …read more Cafe n One is probably one of my favourite "new" restaurants that I tried recently. Located on the 2nd floor at Yonge and Finch, Cafe n One is a bright, cute cafe serving Japanese inspired brunch items, drinks, pastas and desserts. . . Classic Breakfast 4/5 Chicken Karaage 3/5 Croffles 5/5 Green Tea Soufflé Pancake 4.3/5 Latte 4.8/5 . . We arrived around 10 minutes after open and there were already a handful of people seated. The drinks and food came out pretty quickly except the soufflé pancakes which takes 25minutes to prepare. My favourite was the croffle. For $10, you get 2 big pieces of croffle which tastes great with either whipped cream or syrup. The chicken karaage was kind of dry on its own, but dipping it in the syrup and eating it with the croffle made it better. If you want a hearty breakfast, the classic breakfast is a solid choice. The soufflé pancake was fluffy and delicious, well worth the wait. I was amazed by the detailed latte art as well. Highly recommend this cafe!

Fika!!! Swedish coffee break! Cool coffee shop and cafe in Kensington Market. Very eclectic…read moreinterior with both a front and back patio. Came on a nice cool Saturday morning. Service fast.

Fika located in Kensington Market along Kensington Ave near Dundas St. W. is a Swedish-inspired…read morecoffee shop. The word "fika" is Swedish meaning "to take a break from activity by drinking coffee, having pastries, and relaxing with others". There isn't a comparable word in English to describe having a fika. Having gone to Fika for a number of years, the coffee shop is not accessible where you do have to take a few steps to enter the shop. The space inside is inviting and comforting, where the best room to sit in is at the back where they have an accent wall full of open books. Moreover, the cafe also has seating outdoors as well on their front and back patios when the weather is nice. There is also plenty of coffee beans/accessories/tshirts to purchase. They also have frozen Swedish cinnamon buns if you'd like to have some at home. Lastly, there is also wifi if you'd like to work a bit in their space. I recently stopped by Fika for an afternoon coffee. I hadn't gone in a while and it was nice to see that the coffee shop wasn't too busy. I ordered a cortado which was made at a reasonable time. I also purchased a bag of coffee beans as they now roast their own beans. Sitting in the back room looking at the book accent wall, I casually sipped my drink, feeling the caffeine kick in. Staff were friendly and service was great. Overall, a nice place for an afternoon fika!

The meal was good but I wish the bread came buttered. They also have desserts and board games which I haven't tried yet but would definitely come back for it!

Cute North York cafe that serves brunch as well!…read more The service is a little slow, but it's a great place to meet up with friends as you can play with their board games for free as long as each person is spending at least $10 at their venue. Serving portion and quality is standard. Pro: Free wifi and accepts credit card payment.

Comella cafe brings some Italian flair to Markham…read more The pastry and sandwich selection is large and all fresh. The coffee is equally great with Lavender Mint Latte hitting the right spot. There are options for milk alternatives for those who aren't down with lactose. The smoked salmon on focaccia was great and a huge portion. You can even split a sandwich if you're not hungry to leave more room for pastries. The selection of desserts was amazing. The croissants were crispy, light and tasted authentic. Best of all, there's tons of parking and as it's located in a nice supermarket, so you can pickup your weekly supplies after. Skip Starbucks and come here instead. It's a level up in every way. From sandwiches, to coffee to desserts. Just don't forget to pickup a cannoli!

The place was packed but we were able to get a spot at the long communal table near the fountain. We ordered the matcha latte, Lavender cloud latte, hojicha latte and got an extra free cold hojicha latte on the house along with some pastries. Each drink came on a wooden plate along with water and served in different glasses. It was very aesthetically pleasing in taste and sight. Even though the place was buzzing there were lots of spaces between tables. The fountain with flowing water added a touch of class and character to this cafe. It took a while for one of the drinks to come but we got an extra free drink at the end so it was a nice surprise. Would definitely be back! Don't miss the additional room in the back opposite to the wall of pictures frames.

At the back there's a small room to sit in with books all around. I got an iced strawberry matcha latte with a chocolate croissant. The strawberry iced matcha latte was delicious but I felt like the croissant could've been a bit flakier. The server brought me a tray of my drink and food when it was ready which was nice as I can be quite clumsy and the drink glass made me a bit nervous. It's a great space to sit and relax it. It was quiet when I went during weekday. I would def come here again if I want a relaxing coffee or tea break. Prices I think are on par with other cafes in the area. I think I'd be more interested in returning more often if they got better baked goods.

There is a tree swing, plenty of shade and cafe tables throughout the patio. There are stairs that lead up to another seating area. While we enjoyed the patio on a summer day, there is plenty of seating options inside as well. The decor inside is fun and chic. They offer a unique beverage menu along side the classics. The coffees were great! They have a wide range of milk offerings, which was nice as skim milk wasn't a common offering at other Toronto cafes. The pastries looked delicious (even offered 45% off day old pastries) but didn't try them this visit! Both workers were very kind and the barista did a lovely job keeping up with the orders on her own!

Lots of artwork, knickknacks, and rooms meticulously decorated. Pastries looked incredible but did not grab any (45% off day old pastries are offered too). Went on a weekday and there was a bit of a line. Only 1 barista so it was not super speedy service. I can imagine this place would be packed on a Weekend morning.
