I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so I went for their red velvet cookie, pistachio croissant, and cappuccino. The croissant was my favourite - flaky, buttery, and had just the right amount of pistachio filling. The cappuccino paired nicely with these pastries, though it was pretty standard. While the red velvet cookie was also tasty, I wish it was slightly chewier, but I loved that there was cream cheese frosting in the middle. This is one of those cafes that while the interior decor looks a bit basic (and there's nothing wrong with that in my books!), I think their pastries stand out and make it worth the visit :)

So yeah trust me on this, get everything all at once. I crave them every day. I have a problem. A delicious one.

The plaza itself is such a vibe, reminding me of Unionville Main Street for those familiar with the area. The signage throughout the plaza is excellent, making the place easy to find. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately captivated by the decor. It has such a unique aesthetic that's perfect for photos. I also noticed they have a patio with umbrellas, making it an ideal spot to enjoy on a breezy summer day without worrying about the sun. I originally came intending to order the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap ($15.99), but after spotting a table advertisement for their new Pizza Caesar Salad Wrap, I couldn't resist trying the pepperoni version ($16.99). My sister ended up ordering the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap instead, so we got to sample both. They also offer cookies, croissants, coffee, and matcha, along with 16- and 20-ounce iced drinks that are reasonably priced. I'm definitely intrigued to come back and try one. Even better, they've recently started serving breakfast, giving me even more reasons to return. The portions were generous and satisfying, and both wraps were packed with flavor. They struck the perfect balance of textures; crisp, creamy, and incredibly fresh. Honestly, no notes. They were perfection. I'd happily order them again, though I'm equally tempted to work my way through the rest of the menu. To top it all off, the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making for an all-around excellent experience.

I've never had mortadella before so I ordered the 4 Seasons as well as a hot dog. The hot dog is decent. The sausage is nicely grilled so it enhances that smoky flavor. The bun was a sesame bun but dry - just OK. Not sure it is worth the price or that I'd order it again. But when it comes to the sandwich, the ingredients were so fresh, the meat was delicious, the sauces were yummy, and it is overall composed really well. I'm a very saucy girl so it's slightly on the dry side for me, though. If I had to equate it to another well-known chain, I'd put this up there with Jersey Mike's, but perhaps with an edge because of the curated sauces and freshness. I love you too, Grandma!

I was looking for a spot to sit and study on a Friday when I came across Metropolis. The photos…read moreshowcased a beautiful, aesthetic space, and the reviews suggested it was a great place to work thanks to its ample designated laptop seating, plentiful outlets, free Wi-Fi, and lack of time limits. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of free parking behind the café, with direct access to the entrance. Even at 10 a.m. on a Friday, it was busy. The café has clearly designated laptop seating, while other tables are marked as laptop-free zones. I thought this was a fair system as it creates space for everyone, whether you're studying or working like I was, or simply meeting friends for a casual catch-up. I also noticed that groups of three or more are welcome to sit anywhere, which is a nice touch. Between 4 and 6 p.m., laptops are also permitted throughout the café. Thankfully, despite the crowd, my sister and I managed to find two neighboring seats in the laptop section. These areas consist of large communal tables with plenty of outlets. While everyone sits together, people generally keep to themselves, making it a productive environment. That said, the café can get quite loud due to the constant flow of customers, conversations, and the occasional work call. I couldn't resist ordering quite a bit of food to fuel my study session. First was the pesto sandwich (which contains walnuts). It was incredibly flavorful and cheesy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how hot it was served and it even had a satisfying cheese pull. For my drink, I ordered an iced caramel latte. It wasn't quite bold enough for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I simply prefer a stronger coffee flavor. For dessert, I tried the pistachio cookie. Aside from the centre, which contained plenty of crushed pistachios, I didn't find it particularly pistachio-forward. It tasted more like a chocolate chip cookie with white and milk chocolate pieces. I also sampled some of my sister's order, including the chicken Caesar wrap, which I would absolutely order next time. The iced strawberry matcha, however, was also lacking in flavor. The standout dessert was definitely the cinnamon bun. It was massive, perfectly made, and something I'd recommend over the cookie any day. Oh, and both the sandwich and wrap came with Lay's chips, which turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable pairing. I also want to mention how clean the café was despite the heavy foot traffic. During my several-hour stay, I constantly saw staff wiping down tables, clearing dishes, and tucking chairs back in. The washrooms were also clean, had a good number of stalls, and were well maintained. I especially appreciated that they provided paper towels instead of air dryers. Overall, Metropolis is an excellent place to spend a few hours studying or working. The thoughtful laptop-friendly setup, abundant outlets, free parking, and welcoming atmosphere make it easy to settle in. While a couple of the drinks and desserts fell a bit short on flavor, the sandwiches, wraps, and cinnamon bun more than made up for it. I'd definitely return, both for another productive work session and to grab that chicken Caesar wrap again.

Thankfully, the vanilla bean latte absolutely did the job--and it was genuinely delicious too. The house blend espresso was smooth and creamy, with a rich chocolatey note without tasting overly roasted, exactly the way I like it. The vanilla bean flavour was also really pleasant, adding just the right amount of sweetness and aroma without overpowering the coffee. All in all, it was a near-perfect latte. The only downside was the price--I paid about $9 for a large with three shots, which felt a bit steep. Still, it was a very satisfying cup of java. I also appreciated the fact that it is doggo friendly as it has a jar of treats for your pups. I'll bring little morty over sometimes.

The interior is cozy with a mix of lounge chairs and bar stools with a dozen or so tables. The menu consists of sweet and savoury crepes and the staff were eager to share their recommendations. I had one of their savoury crepes as a 'sandwich' (following their recommendations) - chicken Caesar I believe. The chicken was tender and soft, grilled to perfection. Add to that crisp romaine lettuce and creamy dressing wrapped in a soft crepe and I have to admit I think they're on to something! The accompanying latte was delicious probably one of the first I've had where additional sugar was not required. The staff were extremely friendly and kind enough to let me lounge.

We sat and chatted for a few minutes until our drinks were ready. I forgot to ask if the sugar level could be reduced but full levels of sugar wasn't too bad. I just would've preferred it less sweet. I was surprised that I could actually taste ginger in the drink. I saw in another review that the hot drink was not actually hot. I can confirm that mine wasn't hot either, more on the warm side.
