I went with the Medicinal Hot Chocolate and it caught me completely off guard in a good way. Cinnamon, cardamom, maple syrup, and Himalayan salt are not the usual suspects in a hot chocolate, but the mix worked surprisingly well. It was soothing, comforting, and felt like something made with intention. That said, anyone not familiar with the raw cocoa flavour might not immediately think of it as a traditional hot chocolate. The cafe itself is warm, scenic, and very welcoming. I really liked the decor, which feels like stepping into an old Canadian home with a lot of charm. It is the kind of place you could sit for a while without feeling rushed. I would definitely like to come back before winter sets in again.

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

Eggs were cooked properly and the potatoes are tasty with their spice mixture. My only real gripe, which you will see in the photos. Is that the place looks upscale from a standard breakfast diner. BUT they were serving our drinks(water and coffee) in paper cups! We saw others in the restaurant that ordered hot and cold beverages and they got take out cups for their drinks. While this doesn't really ruin the tase, it does ruin the vibe and atmosphere.

For drinks, we ordered a matcha latte and a tiramisu latte. The food and drinks are plated/ presented very beautifully, and is also delicious!

We were nearby strawberry picking, and decided to drive the extra 10 minutes to come here for lunch. Tried 2 of the sandwiches, and 2 pastries (croissant and apple rosette) The pastries were pretty good, though not that memorable. They were about $3 each. The sandwiches were $14 each and they were just ok. We felt they were very overpriced for what they were - it was just a sandwich with a few things inside, doesn't come with any sides. We paid inside at the counter - it was a bit confusing because they had 2 counters and the one we went to didn't have staff there. We waited a while and someone came though. After we ordered, the machine prompted to tip (min amount was 18%, or there was option to skip). We tipped the 18% as we were planning to eat on their picnic table outside and they said they'd bring the food out to us. After tax and tip, everything was around $45. The food took very long to arrive though. Had to wait at least 15 mins and then to find that the sandwiches were not that substantial. And we left still hungry. The plus side is that while we were waiting for our food, there was stuff to check out such as their little fruit and veggie market, and their gift shop. All in all, a cute place! For us, food was meh and overpriced, but you definitely get an amazing ambiance. If I come back I don't think i would order the food again, but probably just some drinks to enjoy the outdoor space and soak in the nature.

It feels like the kind of place you can sit and enjoy a slow brunch or a casual dinner without feeling rushed. For brunch, two dishes really stood out. The braised pork eggs Benedict was fantastic. The pork was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the creamy hollandaise and poached eggs. The gochujang fried chicken brioche burger was another highlight. The chicken was crispy with just the right amount of spice, and the soft brioche bun tied everything together. We also came back for dinner and tried the seafood paella, which was rich, comforting, and packed with seafood. It's definitely a great dish to share. For drinks, the cheesy mango ice matcha was surprisingly good. The mango adds sweetness while the cheese foam makes it creamy and indulgent. A really unique combination that works well. Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, with most dishes around the $20-$30 range. Overall, it's a great spot for brunch, dinner, or just drinks. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

Food wise it was a mix. The pizza and appetizer were good but sadly our pasta mains were really bad. I would recommend their pizzas as they have a stone pizza oven but the pasta was so sad. I got the Cacio Pepe which was their special that day... and there was basically no pepper, a bit of parm on top and the sauce was super watery. There's also suppose to be guanciale in it but I saw maybe 3 small pieces. I also added chicken to the dish which was cold chunks of chicken breast. I was so sad with my pasta . I don't think all the food is bad but avoid the pasta. They had great drinks. We got a orange rosemary Moscow mule which was delicious.

Not sure if this is just local tastes/traditions, but the pastas was all over the place, one was way overcooked, the other had terrible sauce, being underwhelming, missing cheese/cream/whatever the menu indicates and is overall poorly executed. We got extra protein and for the price was very disappointed to received cold cubed chicken instead of an entire chicken breast! All in all, great place for large groups, the decor is nice, but really stick to just the apps, pizzas, and drinks, nothing else. The pizza menu has two options for firing, the wood or limestone ovens, they are light and crispy and the pizzas with toppings are well topped. Pizza sizes are about 12". The drinks were a great blend of familiar and modern takes of the classics. Example, they have Moscow Mules, but also have it with orange and maple syrup. Staff was great, they came around often and the bill splitting was easy, no random extra charges for the group fee or a bill split fee. The range is about 50$ per person for a good time, it's about medium priced, nowadays. If we are in the area again, will stop by for pizza!
