As a preface, I'd like to say that I value taste extremely high compared to service or ambiance,…read moreand I weigh price highly as well. Overall, The Alley has a lot going for it. Drinks are amazing and locations are well placed and spaced which makes it easy for me to access as a consumer. Ambiance and service are nothing special, but I could not care less. The alley constantly comes out with new flavors and options for me try, but this is where the problem strikes. They constantly create drinks which appeal to niche demographics and so I regularly do not enjoy the new flavors. The Alley plays heavier to tea enjoyers and less to people like me who hate tea but enjoy fruit smoothies and toppings. I love the ube taro/puff brown sugar bubble tea in particular, because I cannot figure out whether it has tea in it or not. There are a lot of options, so I am sure I can do some searching for a better flavor, but I would say they do not have a lot of drinks that appeal to a wide demographic. The rewards program also sucks, might as well not exist, and so when I talk about pricing, I will not consider the rewards program (12 drinks for 1 free). The drinks are worth the price ($8.5 for a large), but it is on the expensive side of most bubble tea stores. For example, Coco has offers and deals on good drinks to bring the cost down to 2 drinks for $10. The point I am trying to make is that The Alley is premium in flavor and cost which encourages me to go to other locations for an alternative simply because I want to buy food alongside a drink and stay within my budget. Worth going too once in a month or to satisfy a craving, overall great place.

The drinks are fantastic! Genuinely my favourite place to get drinks and I'm CONSTANTLY craving it…read more My favourite is the crunchy strawberry milk tea. Cozy space and lots of seats, but I always have to wait forever for my drink. There were at least multiple times where I had to wait like 20+ mins for a drink since there was only one worker. I can't really blame them because it can get busy at times, but waiting like 30 mins for a tiny little drink is insane. I swear the service used to be much faster so it might have just been the days I chose to go. They have a great bathroom, though. I was shocked at how nice it was.

The vibes were super chill and just felt really good to be in. The interior is beautiful too, lots of pretty paintings and artwork, nice seating, and they even have an upstairs area, which is such a nice touch. As for the food and drinks, I got the Qamaria iced latte. It was yummy, but not my personal favourite, I'd give it a 7/10. I honestly think the hot version would taste better. I also tried the pistachio cake and wow, that was amazing. So flavourful, super moist, and definitely worth it, 9/10 for sure. I also got to try the Dubai chocolate croissant and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly crunchy. Easily an 8.5/10 for me. Overall, this place had amazing vibes and some of the best desserts I've tried in the GTA. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

Although it was nice to sip on, it would probably be better hot since it's a medium roast and the flavor got lost between the ice and cream. I will say I wish it was creamier or more silky smooth as well. It gave me the caffeine kick I needed and the cardamom is always a nice touch. The staff is beyond hospitable and friendly. Worth a try!

My family and I came around 11am, and they were sold out of most of their scones, but were working on a second batch. I suggest to go early so that you can get a wider selection. Every scone was delicious, soft on the inside, buttery, with enough crust on the outside. The cheese and jalapeño ones had a perfect amount of kick but were not spicy overall (which I loved). The sweet scones were also amazing! Every cookie we ordered was soft and delicious. We also ordered the matcha lemonade, as well as the turmeric latte, which I probably won't be getting again. But nonetheless, this place is amazing!

They serve Fortnum and Mason's teas along with baked goods. We didn't try their afternoon tea service but want to come back for that. The cafe was pretty crowded even though we came on a weekday evening so it might be better to try it during daytime hours when folks are at work. The prices are reasonable for an afternoon tea cafe as you are paying for the ambience as well as the food.

Pur & Simple is such a cute breakfast spot. This location was honestly super bustling when I went…read more I've been to this one and the Heartland location before, and both are really nicely done. They have beautiful decorations and such a nice open concept. I love how the natural light flows through the restaurant, it makes everything feel bright and lively. The decor is really pretty, lots of green touches, and just overall really good energy inside. The food was yummy. We tried the breakfast poutine and the fried chicken eggs benedict, which were both unique and different from your typical breakfast options. Everything tasted fresh and good quality. The only thing I'd say is the portions felt a bit small, it wasn't the most filling meal especially for the price. Still really tasty though, just not super heavy. Service was nice and the staff were kind, but it was very slow and not super attentive. It was packed in there, which probably explains it, but it did make the experience feel a little drawn out. Overall though, it's a really cute spot with good vibes and solid food. Definitely a nice place to go for a fun breakfast or brunch.

Compared to the main chains / other options nearby (coco's and real fruit) this place is far better. My go to drinks when im feeling like a fruit tea i would get: divine fruit tea ( this is a fun blend of fruits with aloe and basil seeds) or the grapefruit green tea with crystal boba. If im feeling like a milk tea, i get the triple crown since i love toppings. I'd always adjust sugar to be less. The polar and milkshake ones aren't my favourite since they are too sweet. The cream brûlée dessert, i believe are the ones from costco with glass containers. The cheese cakes are from cheese cake factory. If you are feeling snacky, they are okay. Service is very friendly. I would suggest downloading the app to collect points if you plan to frequent often or order ahead for pick up to save time. There's a couple of seats inside and ample parking.

Tip: This cafe has dairy-free options for your hot chocolate and lattes…read more A recent Yelp experience introduced me to Chocolate and Love. Yesterday, I was in the area and dropped by for some chocolate. Chocolate and Love is at Heartland Town Centre. It's perfect because you can shop, eat, and more. I had an early dinner at Swiss Chalet. I swung by this cafe afterwards. I had no problem finding this cafe. I backed into a parking spot and walked in. It is a pretty shop. It does steady business. I headed to the counter and was immediately greeted by a female staffer during my first visit. I got a different female staffer my second time. This place doesn't have iced hot chocolate. I am guessing that it would be difficult to melt fine chocolate and then ice it to death. I had a small hot dark chocolate (70%) with oat beverage during my first visit. It was excellent. I'm a dark chocolate person and I love hot chocolate. It was slightly sweet, which was perfect. I only wished that I had a larger cup of it. This store has a lot of gift ideas or gifts for yourself. I liked looking at the chocolate bars. hot chocolate gift jars, pottery, and more. The only downside was that there weren't any prices listed. I don't know why. The drink menu does. Everything else in the cafe doesn't, as if you're shopping at Tiffany's. I saw boardgames that you can play if you are hanging out for a while. It was a nice touch. I saw a display full of baked goods that looked yummy. I still haven't got any. Next time! It was recommended by the first female staffer that getting a library set (three chocolate bars) was the better deal than the current promotion of getting one bar, and the second bar goes for 50% off. I went for it. I got to sample the dark chocolate orange. It was so good. The orange balanced out the dark chocolate nicely. You can sample any chocolate that you'd like, which was nice. I also asked about the Dubai kunafa cup. She said that she had it in strawberries with pistachio. I said yes to one. I've had a similar Dubai kunafa cup from Tanghulu Square One. I frankly liked the latter one better. Although Tanghulu uses milk chocolate, I found that you could easily eat the strawberries with the chocolate-pistachio mixture with ease. At Chocolate and Love, the chocolate was of higher quality. It hardened quickly, so you have to work at it to chip out a whole strawberry with the chocolate-pistachio mixture. It was yummy. I was thoroughly impressed by the generous number of whole strawberries in this cup. It was an exercise in patience and elbow grease to set each strawberry free from the hardened chocolate-pistachio mixture. I felt that it could have included more kunafa. It was at the bottom of the cup, so the crunchiness didn't happen until the end. It should have been more evenly distributed. Anyway, I like this cafe. I will probably pass on the Dubai kunafa cup. However, I'll be back for more dairy-free hot chocolate and some baked goods. It was nice being introduced to this cafe. The chocolate is excellent. I hope to return and chill instead of dashing off to run errands. (187)
