Matari is definitely my new favourite coffee break. This spot has some unique drinks on the menu and a great selection of desserts/treats to have with your cup of tea/coffee. I love that they're able to modify your drinks based on your preferences. There's quite a lot of options to choose from as well. I really enjoyed the honeycomb and the portion was good to share. It wasn't too sweet but the honey on top was the perfect addition. The drink is served in a beautiful cup and was delicious + worth the wait. Our order was a bit of a long wait despite it not being busy, but it was 100% worth it. Looking forward to coming back! One of my favourite coffee shops in the GTA that I keep going back to over and over again. I especially love their adeni and their croissants. However, I find that everything I've tried on the menu has always been sooo good. It's a little on the pricier side but the atmosphere/ambiance of the place and quality/taste of the products make up for it. They also recently introduced a loyalty program where you can collect points with every purchase. Tried their pistachio cake and loved every bite!

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!

The shop itself is quite small, with just a few tables and seats toward the back. I really enjoyed the iced banana bread latte with regular milk, perfectly balanced and not too sweet. One of my friends got it with oat milk, but it muted the banana bread flavor a bit, so I wouldn't recommend that version. Our group also tried the donut holes, and honestly, they might be the best I've ever had. Definitely grab a few when you visit!

You grab a tray with a parchment liner and use tongs to pick out your food items. Drinks are ordered at the same counter where you pay. If you're planning to eat in, they're happy to toast your pastries for you. There's plenty of seating, although I'd avoid the section closer to the bathroom, which had a noticeable smell. I tried the Dubai hot chocolate topped with pistachio cream and it was fantastic! It's on the pricier side, but honestly, it's a perfect chocolate indulgence.

I ended up ordering a Matcha Mochi Donut to go along with my Ice Coffee and the donut was delicious! However, the ice coffee was kind of mid.

The cake was spongy, and the cream cheese frosting was spread evenly. However, I would have preferred if the frosting was less sweet although this wasn't a deal breaker for me and I would buy this cake again. The coffee is self-served in a corner of the store by the front door, but you pay at the register. There are also two chairs by the front window but the overall space in the bakery is quite small so I wouldn't imagine a lot of customers staying to enjoy their drinks and baked goods there. We also got a latte and they offered to add cinnamon on top which was a nice touch. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was good, but I wouldn't say that it's the best croissant ever. I would want to try other bakery items and will definitely be returning soon!

The location isn't great as it's tucked away in a pretty empty plaza. Even the ambiance upon entering doesn't give off the impression that the coffee will be THAT good but I'm here to tell you it is! I got the Iced Spanish Latte which was sweet and creamy and the espresso was so balanced and didn't get lost in the condensed milk. We also tried a Pourover and I like that you can choose any beans they offer! We went with the Loco Series Lychee Pop and it was outstanding. I'm a big fan of lychee and rose, both flavors are very palpable and even the aroma/color of the pourover were proof that it would be good. We ended up buying a bag of the whole beans. They're some of the best beans I've ever had. The barista is not only hilarious but definitely knows what he's doing!

Solid bakery! I…read moreordered a variety of dishes from them via UberEats. Tried tiramisu, pistachio and chocolate chip cannoli, chocolate eclairs and Portuguese custard tarts. Delivery handoff was good. I have to say, all of the items were pretty tasty. I liked the cannoli more than expected, shells were fluffy and not too hard. Easy to bite into and filling was good. Pistachio wasn't my favourite flavour (just personal preference but it was well made). I would reorder the chocolate chip and maybe their plain one. For the chocolate eclairs, custard is inside and a slight dusting of gold on top. Tiramisu was properly layered, soft and moist. Pretty yummy! Custards not as sweet as the others, shell is flakey and light. Overall, I would recommend! I think they are a nice little bakery.
