Hojicha latte
Cherrie T.

Really enjoyed the specialty lattes here, with creative latte art :) The drinks menu is large- there is different something for everyone. The lox bagel was also nicely done, made with Montréal bagel. There are a few other breakfast/brunch items, as well as, pastries/sweets. Really cozy space for relaxing and catching up with friends. There is a seating limit of 75 mins... I guess it applies on crazy busy hours :p Service felt a bit abrupt... perhaps staff was having a bad day *shrugs*

Almond milk latte
Philip L.

Went on a busy weekday morning. Nice latte with great service. A little noisy though. Not that easy to chat with others, as in the morning is usually crowded. Still recommended because both the drinks and service are great.

Small and cozy cafe with some premium coffee, and tea offerings. They also have a seasonal menu for drinks. They also serve food. Hojicha Latte - Good roasted tea flavour and balanced with milk. Tea did settle pretty quickly, so got to keep mixing or drink it quick. Corn Hojicha Latte - Added corn flavour to the hojicha. The added syrup helped reduce the settling as well. Fun to try. Will have to come by and try their food menu.

Stae is a little cafe up on Copper Creek. It's relaxing, lovely, and VERY busy. One thing to note is that they're not like a restaurant where you get seated. It is very much a cafe where you grab your own seat and during peak hours, it's very hard to do that. Fortunately, they've also implemented a 75 min seating limit which helps. Stae specializes in beverages, but they also serve some brunch items and pastries. For autumn, they had a seasonal menu so I went with their Corn Hojicha Latte. As someone who loves Chinese corn drinks, I was a little sad it wasn't more corny. But the Hojicha was nice and roasty. As for brunch, my friends and I tried the Poke Toast and the Spicy Eggplant Sammy. Both were very good! The Eggplant Sammy had good portions and was quite the comfort food. The Poke Toast was bright and flavourful and I liked the jammy egg they added. My biggest regret is forgetting to grab a cookie to-go. Their cookies look bomb, with huge chocolate chunks and a chewy texture. Hoping to comment on that next time!

Niju matcha latte & regular latte
Carol Y.

Still one of my favourite cafes in Markham! I don't often get the chance to stop by this area, but whenever I do, I try to pop by Stae Cafe for one of their gorgeous & delicious lattes. The latte art here is incredible. They also have a wide variety of lattes from espresso-based lattes (e.g., regular, Spanish) to tea lattes (hojicha, 3 types of matcha lattes, butterfly pea). It's a perfect spot to chill, chat, or do some light work. The cafe can get quite busy though and finding parking can be tricky, but they have a 75min seating time limit to allow more customers to enjoy the space.

Stae bagel

Finally had a chance to try this cafe. Lovely little spot located in the Copper Creek neighbourhood. The cafe is nice and warm and very welcoming. Drinks are smooth and sweetened just enough. I ordered the Spanish latte and it was really nice with the cinnamon coming through and condensed milk to making it creamy. The Stae Bagel was also delicious, all the flavours balanced quite beautifully. The food is a bit pricey for what it is, but its a nice treat once in a while.

Lattes

Hands down one of my absolute favourite local coffee shop in Markham beautiful shop and ambience with relaxing music I love their pour over options and staff are usually great with their recommendations. Their lattes are also amazing esp Spanish, lavender oat and London fog - they have lactose free milk options too :) They also have a nice brunch menu too. Stae bagel and poke toast are my favourites! Bonus - for moms: they have high chairs AND a diaper change table in their washroom!

Coffee to start the day

I'm back at Stae Cafe! It really never disappoints. I love it here. The people here are super friendly. Their drink selections are always on point and they keep updating them! That's what makes me coming back. The interior is stunning and so vibey. I just love it here as a "second" office.

A small Asian inspired cafe with seating for 20 max located near 9th line. They have a menu that changes by season. I tried the black sesame French toast. Imagine my shock when it came it was one slice of toast divided in half. Came with sprinkles of dehydrated banana and maybe ? one full raspberry. Now I'm all for the artistic vision but this was really mid in my opinion. How are you going to charge $15 for one slice of bread, I know times are tough but dang. On top of that, the black sesame filling was so light I could barely taste it. I would never order this again as if I did I will consider that as robbing myself. Rating: 4/10 Stae Bagel: 8/10. This bagel was really delicious and packed with veggies and smoked salmon. I would definitely order it again. Additionally, the table next to me complained the pork meat on the sandwich they ordered wasn't cooked properly so that was not a vibe. All in all I would be back to try other things because the menu is interesting. But don't expect to leave here being full as it's a cafe more for drinks.

A cute cafe that is all the vibes with delicious drinks. Came for a weekend work session with some friends and it was busy in the morning before noon! There's also not a lot of outlets other than at the high top area, so keep that in mind if you're planning to work here all day, your laptop may run out of battery. Got the matcha latte which was great! Good matcha taste and had a beautiful green colour. Ube latte was also delicious and had a beautiful purple colour. We also got a french toast item to share, which wasn't that great so can probably pass on that. However, I'm interested to try their other food items in the future as it looks amzing!

Happy Three Years! Definitely my go to coffee shop in the neighbourhood. Love their seasonal menu but can't go wrong with a basic latte :)

Steak banh mi
Jonathan A.

Nice little cafe, but seating space is limited. They can accommodate maybe 20 people sitting down in groups of 2-4 each. Service is decent and the washroom is very clean. Coffee was good, Spanish latte is light, a little sweet and not dulled by the milk. Steak banh mi was good. It had a nice acidity flavour with the steak and veggies. Bun was on a 3/10 toast level so mostly soft with a nice chew. Was maybe a little too much garlic aioli for me, but more sauce is rarely ever complained about. Flavour was nice but something texturally inside was gritty for me. Not sure if it was the pate or the garlic aioli, but still overall a good sandwich. Longanisa sandwich was pretty textbook. Soft bun, Longanisa sausage and an egg loaf. I just wish they would have thrown a little twist on it by adding a vinegar dressing or something acidic to balance out the flavour. Decent sandwich but didn't have anything special about it. Overall worth trying. Worth sitting in if there's space. Vibe gives very modern cafe with a bright atmosphere.

Iced matcha
Charu G.

The drinks and cookies are good, especially their matcha. It's a great spot for takeout because it's always crowded between 12-4pm.

La Fonte - Calabrese Pizza

La Fonte

Unionville

After grabbing coffee with my friend on Main Street, we decided to sit down for a small bite. While…read morewalking around TooGood Pond, we came across La Fonte, which is tucked right alongside the pond. We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. We initially asked for a table at the back, but were informed there was a reservation coming in, so we were offered a table for two by the door instead. Thankfully, it wasn't too chilly, and since foot traffic was minimal, the door stayed closed for most of our visit. When we arrived, there was only one other table of two enjoying coffee. The space itself is quite small, which isn't what you'd typically expect from an Italian spot. They do have patio seating, but it's not really suitable for this time of year. That said, the service was excellent. We were promptly offered drinks, given menus, and had our order taken within a reasonable timeframe. The server also introduced us to the daily specials, kept our waters topped up, and cleared tables as needed. Our waitress was very friendly, and what appeared to be the manager also stopped by to thank us for coming. For food, we shared the sausage pizza. It's meant to be personal-sized, but we were pretty hungry. The flavors were solid, and the pizza wasn't too heavy. The crust was nicely crispy yet chewy, and the toppings were well balanced, not too much, not too little. We also noticed their pastry display; the apple muffin in particular looked tempting, though we didn't try it this time. Definitely something to come back for. All in all, a pleasant experience and a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area.

The owners, husband and wife are very warm and welcoming when you walk in. The menu is small yet simple but with so many great options. The pizzas were fresh, hot, generous toppings. The sauce was incredible and not too thick, meats and cheeses were so delish and the crust was perfection. La Fonte is small in size, with limited searing, but very cozy for a quick meal next to the water in the Summer or a cold winter day to enjoy their cafe, soups and sandwiches. This is what we have ordered so far: Calabrese Pizza: $29 - San Marzano DOP, fior di latte mozzarella, Spianata Calabrese salame, Nduja, red onions, scamorza, pecorino, EVOO - incredibly fresh ingredients and so much flavor - pizza perfection! Margherita $ 23 - San Marzano DOP, fior di latte mozzarella, basil, EVOO Looking forward to going back - I finally have my go to spot for authentic Italian pizza in Markham!

This cute little cafe is the perfect place to come meet friends and get some delicious drinks. The aesthetic of this cafe is so cute, and I love the way they have just decorated this entire place.

Would definitely recommend you checking it out if you get the chance! 9/10 recommend!

They have a sign outside promoting the first 3 customers get dessert/bagel/croissant, but don't honour it. I was first in the store, not because I was trying to get the promo, but the lady behind me came actively trying to get the promo. Instead of the items promised, and only after asking, they reluctantly handed us panda keychains. The lady asked again for the promo after she got her order and they told her that they weren't giving the food items because keychains are more useful. She then asked them to remove the sign for false advertising, they (angrily) said they would, yet the sign continues to be outside half an hour later. You really shouldn't be making promises you can't keep, and getting upset at your customers for it. Please consider removing this false advertising sign and just letting your cafe and food speak for itself. If it wasn't for this, this cafe would be 4 or 5 stars, but the fake promo and dishonesty has really soured my experience here.

We shared the Mango Bingsu, and it was huge--easily enough for the five of us. The flavor was a solid 9/10, super refreshing and delicious. If they had crispy corn flakes on top, it would've been a straight 10/10 for me. We also got two Dalgona Lattes, one with oat milk, and she differentiated them with the coasters, which was such an adorable touch. Now I need to go back just to try more drinks! Parking was free but a little awkward--spots are at an angle, and the plaza can get busy. But honestly, it's worth it. When we went, a few moms were catching up over bingsu, and it was such a wholesome vibe. Can't wait to be back and explore more of the menu!

Was happy to see they still carry the same menu items - especially my favourite injeolmi bingsu! (which I highly recommend). We tried the matcha croffle for the first time today. The croffle was nice and crispy and not too sweet. It was topped with matcha whipped cream(?), which was nice and light but feel as though matcha ice cream might have paired better. Service was friendly and quick as usual. There's free parking at the plaza, though a bit tricky to find a spot during peak hours (dinner-time to closing).

Although this is a busy brunch restaurant, the turnover happens fast, and we have never waited more than 30 minutes for a seat. Starving Artist has a wide array of coffees and teas as well as waffles and 'Bennies. We have tried quite a few of the drinks during our visits, and we have tried many of their signature dishes. The staff are great and always accommodating and very patient when my kids can't make up their minds about what they want to eat or drink. The servers have helped my kids on more than one occasion make up their minds. This is a great place for breakfast, brunch or even late afternoon coffee, and we try to go at least once a month.

You pass through a charming patio to enter, which was shaded nicely thanks to the size of the Shoppers building. Given the recent heatwave, we opted to sit indoors. We were greeted at the door and offered the choice between a two-person table tucked farther inside or a four-person table closer to other diners. We chose the smaller table for a bit more privacy and ease of conversation. Menus were provided right away, followed shortly by tap water. When our server checked in to ask about drinks, we let her know we were fine with just water. Later, when we were ready to order, she came promptly when we called her over. A standout moment: we ordered just one smoothie, and she kindly asked if we were sharing, then offered to split it into two cups without us even asking. A thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The Pineapple Banana Smoothie was a highlight. It was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, and incredibly refreshing. My sister ordered the Halloumi Benedict. She noted that while the waffles leaned toward a sweeter flavor on their own, the combination of waffle, egg, and halloumi was well-balanced and worked beautifully together. The egg was jammy and spot-on in terms of taste, texture, and presentation. I had the Fully Loaded, which features a potato waffle topped with bacon bits, sour cream, chives, and cheese. It leaned a bit salty, but not overwhelmingly so, still quite enjoyable overall. I loved the potato waffle which has the slightly crispy edges but was soft to bite with a texture that resembled mash potatoes. As someone who isn't usually crazy about waffles, which was such a nice alternative. Each of our mains came with a side salad (lightly dressed and refreshing) and a choice of fruit salad, maple baked beans, or potato salad. We both chose the fruit salad, which was impressively varied with orange, grapefruit, watermelon, blueberry, blackberry, and banana. Note: Payment is cash or debit only.
