In fact, I almost missed it when I first came by! There's a good amount of seating inside if you want to sit down and work or chat, and the space gives off a somewhat urban-rustic, cozy vibe with the exposure brick and pipes. I opted for a flat white and enjoyed it! Though I haven't had the chance to try their baked goods yet, I've been assured by friends that they are delicious.

We'd just finished eating a tasty brunch at the nearby Undefined and figured we should try to get…read moresomething for dessert. Chocolat on James seemed like a perfect solution, since we could get something sweet but not insanely filling. A quick perusal of their many offerings led me directly to their Tortoise, so I went with the milk chocolate version and it was fantastic. I've always been a fan of turtles (who isn't, really?) and this was absolutely one of the best versions I've ever had. The chocolate was delectable and the pecans and caramel inside was just as good. I'm almost glad that Chocolat on James is so far away from my apartment, because I could see myself eating those Tortoises on a daily basis.

I tried the bombon which was espresso with condensed milk and I really liked it. The service was warm, which is actually fit the vibe of the cafe.

Came here with a vegan friend for dinner. We had the fried cauliflower, which were coated in a…read morethick layer of batter and deliciously sweet and spicy sauce. Definitely did not taste like chicken but still tasty. The big mac burger was however, phenomenal. It tasted exactly like a big mac and was covered in special sauce, lettuce, and vegan meat crumbles. It was quite expensive at $15, and was not particularly large, but I would get it again because it truly was so delicious. The smores desert cake we had was much too sweet, but still fun to share with a friend. Atmosphere was nice, with board games as well. The staff was very friendly and I would recommend this place for any plant based enthusiasts. The only issue is that it is quite expensive for the serving sizes.

I asked for a shot of espresso in it (they do it at Starbucks!) but they looked at me like I was an alien or something.

I like the coffee better than Tim Horton's (they're actually right beside each other) and I would stop here again.

We've been pretty happy with our Door Dash meals from 8090 Tea House. We like to get a bunch of…read moresmall dishes to share and usually get the beef wrapped enoki mushrooms as a starter. I love enoki mushrooms and I usually only get to eat them in ramen soups, so it's fun to have another way to enjoy them! We've also have tried the edamame and chicken wings. But the star of our meals has been the ramen. Our tip for anyone ordering soup / broth from any restaurant is to heat it up again once it's delivered, and serve in your own dishes. You will have a few extra dishes to wash but there's nothing like piping hot soup. It's almost like going to a restaurant. Thanks to the staff, delivery drivers and chefs for helping feed Hamilton during the pandemic! We appreciate the effort and variety offered.

I also ordered a lychee black iced tea and it was in a huge beer stien and so fresh. Took a while to get but you could see why when you tasted how fresh it was. My only complaint is that they didnt have the A/C on and it was definitely hot and sticky in late June. But besides that this place is great. I cant wait to go back and try more iced teas

StoHo's social media account showed lovely photos of beverages and meals, and a trendy atmosphere; reviews from other sources showed promise. Upon arrival, it took quite a while for the server to take our order. She was the only one servicing the other three tables in restaurant during Sunday brunch. Once our orders were taken, we were off to a good start with lattes and chai lattes, both showing a degree of artistry. The server was very friendly. However, the menu was extremely limited. Our table of three decided to try the Festive Turkey Sandwich with Potato Leek Soup (soup of the day). Unfortunately, the turkey was extremely dry and chewy for all orders and overcooked (or likely reheated from previous days). The server brought the sandwiches back to the kitchen, which were replaced with large, moister pieces. But, there were still occasional bites of dry turkey in between. Additionally, there were large chunks of carrots placed in the sandwich which was awkward since most of the carrots slid out of the bun onto the plate. And while the soup was smooth and tasty, the portion was extremely small. Needless to say, we will likely not return.

I ordered the #21 Kinako Matcha Latte with Black Sugar and added chesse foam, it was so good! The flavors were very well balanced, it's like a tiger sugar/brown sugar milk drink you get at boba shops with matcha. It had the perfect level of sweetness and you can tell they don't use cheap flavorings to mask anything. The guy working the front was also super kind and patient with all my questions.They're also open a bit later (until 10pm) than average cafes in the area which is nice if you're feeling a sweet treat after dinner or while walking around. I like that I don't have to drive all the way to Scarborough to enjoy their matcha. Great spot, will be on my cafe rotation moving forward. ヾ(*^v^)ノ
