The venue demonstrates sophisticated understanding of conviviality: intimate dimensions, curated whimsy via animal portraiture, and meticulous attention to beverage service. The coffee preparation reflects competence without pretension; the wine selections favor approachability over academic rigor. Small plates demonstrate restraint and quality, executed with evident care rather than elaborate technique. The evening transformation into cocktail bar suggests versatility and operational confidence. What distinguishes Buvette Pacey is its refined refusal of grandiosity. This is proficient hospitality grounded in genuine hospitality rather than culinary ambition--a establishment confident in offering modest excellence rather than aspirational spectacle. The Moss Park location appeals to neighborhood patrons seeking quality refreshment and pleasant surroundings. Worthy of regular visitation for those valuing skilled execution, intelligent beverage curation, and the intangible but essential quality of genuine warmth. This represents successful neighborhood hospitality.

This place is a hole in the wall diner that seems to be quite popular but it's also one of the only places in the city that opens up at 6am in the morning. And I love the music selection they have!! All music I've been listening to recently so it was so vibey. They're accommodating with the menu ingredients too. I ordered a smoked salmon sandwich that looks like the bread was made in house and I got to switch out the cream cheese with hummus. (It was delicious by the way.) This place pretty much Had me dancing in my seat. And you can stay for as long as you wish! If you're in a rush for quick breakfast or need a place to chill out for a bit... it's like those diners in movies where you can just make friendly with everyone. So cute. So so sooo cute.

They operate as a café during the day, offering espresso-based drinks, matcha, teas, soft serve, as well as pastries where it turns into a cocktail bar at night with some light and a drink menu. The space is spacious and fully accessible with lots of seating throughout, however, there are some house rules which are fully listed on tables. You must order before seating where each guest must order. If you stay to work there you have to order another beverage or food item every 2 hours. They have 1-hour seating zones which are kept for people staying a shorter time (less than 1 hour). There is no outside food or drink allowed and the business wants individuals to keep chairs clear. Moreover, they only want customers to make quiet calls only to not disturb others. I've been by No 10 Dean a few times for coffee and once for soft serve. The staff are friendly and the coffee is decent, however, not the best I've had in the city. The space is great for hanging around (although there are many people who end up working there with their laptops). It is also in a good location at College and Spadina as well. Overall, a decent coffee shop, good place to get some work done or to hang out with friends. Just have to keep in mind their house rules if you stay longer than 2 hours!

I had visited this cafe last year in Oct when it recently opened. However, I dropped by recently during the pandemic when I found out that they had been converted to a coffee/wine shop with even food for takeout. The space is welcoming and warm. They are now primarily a bottle shop with coffee for takeout (or to stay as they do have a few seating areas here and there). I ordered 3 items on the menu through the app online. These are the items I ordered: - Shrimpy burger. Delicious! The bun surprisingly held up really well from the time I picked up my food to when I got home. I had to run some errands so I did not get a chance to eat my food until an hour later. The bun was still soft and fluffy. The shrimp patty was delicious with the mayo and lettuce. Overall, a solid shrimp burger! - Pork ssam. This was surprisingly light and refreshing, despite me thinking it would be heavy. The radish the pork was wrapped in gave a great contrast to the meat. Overall a solid dish that left me wanting more. - Zucchini summer salad. Super refreshing and simple dish. Overall, great eats and coffee. They do have a lot of wines that I should browse at a later time. Either way, visit them for a delicious time!

For now, coffee then more to come once liquor license is approved and well, the design is completed! So look forward to going back to see what that will be like. Carry 49th parallel coffee as well as some other interesting bean selections. I ordered a latte. It was good but definitely light on the boldness of the espresso flavour. Would have wanted a stronger taste in that cup. There wasn't too much to choose from in terms of pastry to go but it's still a new shop so I'm anxious to see what the place will look like when it's done. A couple of notes. I hope they change the ceiling. Those office like cardboards aren't doing the lovely space justice. The pedestals for coffee remind me of umbra garbage cans. That made me giggle I enjoy the minimalist feel. It has that clean vibe even when you walk in even though it's still under construction. The barista really great fellow. Friendly and gave the space a really positive feel. Pairs well when you have a minimalist interior.

Cork & Bean Oshawa chose to call the police on a peaceful, paying customer for wearing pro-Israel…read moresymbols and having a calm conversation. Let that sink in. My friend -- a Christian, not even Jewish -- was meeting with a pastor for coffee. He was wearing an IDF jacket and a Star of David necklace while discussing a recent trip to Israel. No shouting. No confrontation. No disruption. Just coffee and conversation. An employee called Durham Regional Police. Officers showed up and told him his conversation was "offensive." When asked what was said that violated policy, no one could answer. No rule cited. No clear complaint identified. Just vague discomfort -- and removal. So what exactly triggered this escalation? Not behavior. Not threats. Not harassment. Symbols. And Israel. Calling the police on someone because others don't like what he's wearing or the country he's discussing is cowardly and discriminatory. Businesses don't get to selectively silence viewpoints they don't agree with. And weaponizing law enforcement to remove someone over perceived "offense" is an outrageous abuse of discretion. If Cork & Bean believes visible support for Israel warrants police involvement, they should say that publicly. If they don't, then they owe an immediate explanation and apology. Until management addresses this directly and transparently, this establishment does not deserve community support. Do better.

Guests can enjoy a selection of delicious Levantine-inspired dishes perfect for sharing, along with some creative cocktails. The experience is elevated by captivating music and a warm and inviting atmosphere. My partner and I had an amazing date night! We went to see Takeyce and the Reggae Funkers, a dynamic musical group that blends reggae, funk, pop, rock, Latin, and Afro beats in such a fun way. The lively 2.5-hour set was a fantastic showcase of the band's energetic and diverse sound. During the performance, we sipped on Mossop's Spritz and Victoria Ghost cocktails and feasted on an array of tasty dishes. The Victoria Famous Flatbread, Mossop's Burger, and Hummus Bowl were all fantastic but the standout for us was the 6 oz Takima Steak Skewer, accompanied by Salatim, Tahini Salad, and cumin-spiced rice with cinnamon and caramelized onion. They also offer breakfast and lunch options. This downtown hidden gem hosts other events like the Murder Mystery Dinner and Paint Nights. I highly recommend visiting Mossop's if you're looking for a nice place for some good food, cocktails and entertainment.

I came here with a group of friends on Friday night artound 9pm and luckily there was a gameday special (basically extended happy hour). They didn't match what was advertised their website, but not a huge deal. I started with house white $6 special. My friends ordered some mules and a local beer. For food, we had an assortment of flatbreads, salads, burgers, and poutine. I'm not a big fan of fries so I'm not the best job, but I thought these were tasty and had a good amount of toppings/gravy etc. I thought the flatbread was a little bland, so I only had a slice. My side caesar was a good portion size too. Service-wise, just a bit of room for improvement with attentiveness - our waitress disappeared for a couple of long stretches, even though it was just the four of us at the restaurant. I can see the appeal of this place to anyone actual staying in the hotel but I think I would check out other spots if I came back to the area again. @azfitfoodfun
