It was my first time here and i was surprised to see that they also have seating here as well. I was intrigued with their seasonal menu and I'm so glad I checked them out because their drinks were delicious and well rounded in flavour. Opted for their blueberry latte and peach jasmine cloud and both drinks were so delicious! The blueberry latte had a nice subtle blueberry flavour with the coffee. The peach jasmine cloud on the other hand was refreshing but had that savoury cheese foam on the top as well that worked well with the drink pairing. What a great local coffee shop with nicely curated drinks in Markham. Worth checking out for sure.

We got a hot rose latte and an iced dirty matcha. The rose was subtle and not too sweet which I enjoyed. I thought the dirty matcha was a little too sweet for my liking but it was smooth otherwise.

Let me just start by giving a huge thanks to our server, Adam, who was beyond friendly and ever so kind. He was such a huge part of why my friends and I had the best time during our session. This quaint shop has a vintage aesthetic and is quite cozy. The food was simple and delicious and frankly, the afternoon tea set was more than enough however the Quiche just sounded too good not to order. That quiche was PHENOMENAL; I'd go back for that alone! The prices were very fair given the set (and compared to other afternoon tea sets).

I was looking for a place to do some studying cafe, and I decided to stop by STAE Cafe!…read more STAE Cafe was quite busy when I walked in. There's about 7 or 8 tables available, and I sat down at one of the smaller tables since those were the only ones available. There's QR codes on each table so you can order what you want through your phone. They also deliver your food/drinks to your table. I ordered the blueberry matcha latte, which I was pleasantly surprised about! It had just the right amount of sweetness, and the blueberry flavour pairs so well with the matcha. I'd definitely order it again! There is a 75 minute seating policy. however, I'm not too sure if they strictly enforce that. I did work for about an hour and there were people who came before me that were still there. It is a very busy cafe, so if you can't study in a noisy area, I would recommend bringing noise-cancelling headphones or going to a different cafe. Overall, the cafe has a great aesthetic and a short but quality menu. I'll be back when I'm craving a decent matcha!

There are limited parking spots on the street, and more parking spaces behind the shop. I opted in for the Buckwheat Croissant and a Black Sesame Latte during my recent visit. The croissant was super flakey & delicious, and I absolutely love that subtle buckwheat flavour ^^ The latte was also lovely. Service was friendly and courteous, and was able to heat up the pastries for me! The shop is bright, spacious and clean. There are a few tables for customers to dine in, and a designated area to put away dirty tableware and garbage when you are done.

I prefer my drinks on the sweeter side so I didn't enjoy the matcha and went up to the cashier to pay for another drink, a coffee instead. She kindly switched my drink out for a mocha cold foam iced coffee, but that wasn't sweet enough for me either and the cold foam was more cheese foam so not what I was expecting. If you like your drinks on the less sweet side, this place may be for you. I'd be back to try more pastries, but not a good place for drinks I'd say. It's a nice open space to work or study.

This is a family owned business and the entire family is amiable and warm. The owner, Brian, is an absolute sweetheart. The vibe inside is quaint, cozy, and cat themed. The chicken wrap (with free range chicken) has always been my favourite but everything I have ever tried from here has been great. They also have many ice cream flavours and usually have freshly baked butter tarts as well as a couple different kinds of cake slices depending on the day. You don't get this level of quality for prices this reasonable at many places any more. This café is a true hidden gem.

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)

I ordered the large Fancy Matcha Latte, which is made with matcha, espresso, and coconut milk. The regular sugar is not too sweet, which is nice. I did taste the matcha and espresso, but not so much the coconut milk. The drink was decent. For $10 for a drink though, it's definitely on the pricier side for a coffee drink. I also purchased the set of 6 bear macarons. They are so cute! It's $23 for the set, no tax, and you're basically getting one for free since one macaron is $4.5. The macarons came frozen. I would come back and try out the other drinks, especially the non coffee drinks. Their specialty drinks sound good. Staff were really nice and they explained a lot of their menu to me.

A Ok Cafe is more than A-Ok -- it's genuinely excellent!…read more Tucked inside Markville Mall, this café feels like a little oasis in the middle of a busy shopping day. The interior is surprisingly spacious, with trendy décor and a clean, modern vibe that makes it easy to settle in and relax. It's the kind of spot that feels thoughtfully designed rather than just another mall coffee stop. Service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which adds to the charm. On this visit, I tried the Ube Latte and the Matcha Banana Latte, and both were standouts. The ube latte was smooth, fragrant, and beautifully balanced -- not overly sweet, with that signature earthy ube flavour shining through. The matcha banana latte was equally impressive: creamy, well-crafted, and surprisingly harmonious, with the banana adding a gentle sweetness that complemented the matcha instead of overpowering it. Everything tasted intentional and well made, which isn't something you can say about every mall café. Whether you're grabbing a quick drink or taking a moment to recharge, A Ok Cafe is the perfect pit stop inside Markville Mall. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.
