I stopped by the social blend for a coffee and it didn't disappoint! I ordered a cortado and a cheese croissant. The cortado was strong, just how I like it! The croissant was huge and had cheese on top and inside as well! Service was very quick, and inside is clean. The only thing was, the seats were not very comfortable so I didn't stay for very long. read more

I received this for my birthday during the panemic and I've seen so many Instagram contests for this bakery specifically for their macarons. The concept of a macaron cake is very clever and unique. However, the taste of these macarons were soooo mid. The ones that Costco sells I think taste better than these. I was really disappointed. They weren't bad per se but the hype that came with all the social media attention didn't live up to it. read more

They make good tasty lattes and cappuccinos. The latte's and cappuccino's foam are very good. I like that the large size has four shots of espresso, even though it doesn't seem to give me the caffeine kick that I would expect from four shots. My guess is their beans are a darker roast. It's a popular place and lots of people work or study at the tables. read more

Got an iced vanilla latte and a box of their 6 most popular macarons. The latte was great, not too sweet or watered down with a whole bunch of ice. The macarons are unlike your tradition macarons - they have cream fillings and a lot of it. But the flavors are amazingly pronounced, except for the blueberry cheesecake which was very subtle and was hoping would have a stronger blueberry flavor. I would definitely go back and try more flavors, but my favorites this time were the peach lychee and double raspberry. read more

The service was very fast. The barista brought out my macaroon so quick I was still deciding what beverage to get. The macaroon was light and delicate and a perfect little treat, especially with the kitkat stick in the middle. The iced matcha latte was was good was a subtle matcha flavour. The barista asked if I wanted liquid sugar in the drink and I said yes but I wish there was a little bit more sugar because it tasted more milky than matcha + sweetness. There were many tables and seats around filled with people, only a couple tables available. The music playing wasn't too loud, making it the perfect spot to catch up with a friend or a coffee catch. read more

Cute coffee/dessert shop. Each macaron was good and had a distinct flavour (i.e. matcha KitKat actually tasted like matcha KitKat) - I liked that they held their shape. What I didn't like was that only 1 person was working the counter so there was a bit of a wait to get my order. From previous reviews, this seems to be the norm which I think they should change read more

Firstly and perhaps the most important...the coffee is great, not just good, but great. I drink Americano, black no sugar so the bean, grind and prep have to be good. Yes to all. The staff are friendly, the coffee shop is not huge, though not tiny. Comfortable surroundings and not too loud. Seems like a local "hang-out" for those wanting to relax and sip coffee.

Commenting purely from an ordering perspective. Deciding to go with a box of 9 macarons with a coffee dacquoise. The coffee dacquoise held its shape and the espresso buttercream was well balanced. The assorted box of macarons I had 2x tiramisu, raspberry, earl grey, injeolmi, matcha, Oreo, strawberry, blueberry cheese cake. Ones that really stood out for me were injeolmi, strawberry and the raspberry as they were different from your standard macarons. With that being said, all the others were great. Definitely worth trying them all if possible! read more

I ordered a Box of 9 Macarons with the following flavours (in order within the photo): Matcha KitKat, Earl Grey, Tiramisu, Oreo, Strawberry Crunch, Blueberry Cheesecake, Injeolmi, Eggnog (December Special), Stollen (December Special) I must say I particularly enjoyed the Tiramisu, Strawberry Crunch, and Blueberry Cheesecake macarons. They were so delicious, tasted true to their descriptions, and were chewy. I highly recommend these flavours. I felt like the Matcha KitKat, Oreo, and Injeolmi had very muted flavours compared to what I was expecting. They were still tasty, but they weren't standouts. The Earl Grey was potent and noticeable, but I don't think I'm a huge fan of this flavour as it felt a little overpowering for me. Lastly, the December flavours were a huge letdown for me. I didn't enjoy the Eggnog and Stollen macarons as they were not only incredibly sweet but the flavours themselves weren't very pleasant/tasty. All in all, I feel like the flavours are quite hit or miss. The macarons themselves are all large, beautiful-looking, and have a great chewy texture. read more

The Social Blend is a corner cafe on Eglinton serving up caffeinated brews and Korean-style macarons It provides board games serving ethically sourced espresso drinks and gourmet macarons in a modern space. It's the perfect place to post up with a laptop (especially since they close at 9 p.m daily), though weekends can get busy, so don't be a table-hog. The decadent mocha won't disappoint. If you're looking for something iced, the Americano misto is a milky, visual treat. You'll come for the coffee but you might end up staying for the relaxing reprieve from busy Eglinton. A counter seat facing out the window is a pretty sweet spot for people watching, too. read more

I feel like I've been hearing about this place for a very long time before I finally made it here. We tried a few of their famous macarons and they were of course delicious. None of them were extremely sweet, which suited my palate well. I also loved the balanced textures of the delicate desserts: somehow the crust was crisp and moist at the same time, and exquisitely complimented the smooth, mild filling. A little on the expensive side, so maybe not a regular treat - but they offer really cute seasonal boxes which could make a great gift! read more

I love The Social Blend and just realized I've never left a review! Whenever I am in the area, I love to stop by and try the monthly flavors. The space has free wifi, a super chill vibe, and really nice staff. The macarons are beautifully crafted, generous with their filling, and not too sweet! If you're looking to try out a cute cafe or grab a treat to gift to someone, definitely give this spot a try. read more

I was not a macaron person...until I had a Social Blend macaron. I guess it's true. I really do like them thicc. It's kind of insane how next-level macarons are getting. Between these and DaanGo, the aesthetic expectations keep rising. And of course, so do the prices. But you are paying for quality here. Social Blend specializes in "Korean-style" macarons, which I assume mean thicker, creamier centres than your traditional macarons. I decided to treat myself to their $40 special edition Chinese New Year set of 9. Call me converted. I'm not sure I want another macaron unless it's like Social Blend's. While I don't find their flavours super strong, they are less sweet than the average macaron and I love that. The cream in the middle is very velvety, like a buttercream cake. The flavours in our box were Dark Chocolate Orange, Taro Milk tea, Mango, Milk Chocolate, HK Milk Tea, Strawberry Crunch, Boston Cream, White Rabbit Exclusive and Lavender London Fog. They were all pretty good but I wasn't too huge of a fan of the one with the cake in the middle. I want that cream in my mouth. Maybe because they weren't too sweet, but the macaron felt lighter and easier to eat, despite the thickness. And they're all so dang cute, it's ridiculous. The CNY edition has one that looks like a little cow, one that looks like a lucky money pouch, and a lantern. It's a shame I want to demolish them all in 5 minutes. read more

Wow, finally tried this place and I can safely say...it's become one of my top 2 places in Toronto for Korean Macarons! I tried a few of their seasonal & regular flavours: -Injeolmi (my fav, it had a nice thin chewy mochi? In the middle) -Hazelnut -Chestnut The Dacquoise was surprisingly soft (not like a hard meringue cookie texture I was expecting) and I really liked it! The seasonal cinnamon & raisin flavour packed a punch. Looking forward to trying more !! read more

From the first day I saw these macarons on Instagram, I knew I had to have them. The presentation was just too beautiful to pass up! I'm not really in their area, so it took me a while to actually try them. I'm so glad I finally did! They recently came out with their Local Love box, which is a really cool initiative that involves the Social Blend collaborating with other local businesses to create new flavours. I loved this idea, especially with local businesses being hit so hard by Covid, so I took advantage of their free delivery over $50 and got two boxes ($40 each). The Local Love box came with nine different macarons, which were all so unique and delicious. These were the nine flavours and the local businesses they collborated with: -Hojicha Latte (Genuine Tea) -Coffee pandan (Rustle & Still) -Everything Maple Bacon (Brodflour) -Hazelnut Brownie (Soul Chocolate) -Tokyo Fog (135 Ossington) -Piggy Bar (March flavour) -Honey Date (March flavour) -Birthday Cake (March flavour) -Coconut Latte (March flavour) My favourites were the Hojicha Latte, Coffee Pandan and Tokyo Fog. I can't wait to order more and try their signature flavours! A note about the delivery - On the day of the delivery, you don't really know what the time slot will be. Make sure to be available the whole day. They do text you when they're on their way to you, but it's not that much advance notice. read more

Came here to get some work done and found it was kind of noisy. The coffee machines, music in the background and normal cafe noises added up. However, I still got my work done and I enjoyed the vibes here. The service was great. I wanted to try one of their macarons and ended up getting the special macaron that includes all purpose flour in mango flavor. So darn good. I could've gotten 10 more. I will be back to try their other flavors! read more

(Late post) I've ordered their macarons during August and was happy with the flavors, and they looked so cute! They did not taste like traditional macaron cream at all but more like buttercream on cupcakes. The macaron shells were ok, the downside to my order was the fact that the KitKat went stale. read more

This review is based on the online ordering experience. If you access their website, online ordering experience is very straightforward and easy to use. $5 flat fee or free if orders are $50+. They work on a delivery schedule - which gives you flexibility in when you want it to arrive, but also make sure it delivers to your expected area! Ordering includes their signature macaron - which can be customize to your liking or choose from their signature set. And they also have coffee and teas. I tried their custom 9 box - which I selected a few of their usual flavours - matcha Kit Kat, earl grey, injeolmi, and monthly flavors (so check what's available at that time) Delivery was seamless, right on schedule and according to instructions. These are Korean style macaroons - which are usually bigger and thicker than the usual ones you see. Stuffed with buttercream that makes the filling extra tasty and also easy to share if need be. I enjoyed all of their flavours, quantity was sufficient and I can tell they used high quality ingredients. I'm glad I tried it and would love to visit the actual store soon! read more

While on a zoom chat with friends, The Social Blend came up in our conversation. A friend had ordered a box of their macarons for Mother's Day and recommended the rest of us to give it a try as well. So the next morning, I ordered their Signature 9 Box (can mix and match the flavours) and it comes with free delivery if order is $30+ pretax. They do deliveries in different areas on different days and have a few different pickup options too. Life is full of surprises! That same afternoon, a friend stopped by and gifted me a box of 9 she had picked up at the cafe's physical store! The box came with a flavour profile card but a few of the flavours were different to the ones actually picked. I received: matcha kitkat, injeolmi, earl grey, pistachio, strawberry crunch, milk chocolate, dalgona coffee (May exclusive), mango (May exclusive), and blueberry cheesecake. These are Korean-style macarons so the shells are a bit chewier and they are STUFFED. The filling is super fat! They were not super sweet and each of the unique flavours do carry across. When biting into one, the filling reminds me of biting through a butter ball or ice cream. Personally, the pistachio, earl grey, matcha, strawberry and blueberry cheesecake were my favourites. Injeolmi had a piece of mochi on the inside that was a nice addition but I found the injeolmi flavour was a bit lighter and more subtle. Overall, I really enjoyed these and I think you should give it a go too. They have monthly rotating flavours and their June ones look pretty good (creme brulee and red velvet yummm). Can't wait until my own box of 9 arrives haha. read more

Some of the best sweets I've ever had!! I've never had Korean macarons before so on that front I don't have a direct gauge for comparison but as a sweets person I found these fatcarons to be up there among the yummiest things I've tasted! I've ordered from Social blend about 4 times now. Majority of the orders were for gifts but I did manage to get a box for myself the first time. I love how every macaron is so unique and you can really make out each individual flavour. They're so fun to try and so pretty to look at. They seem to have a lot of seasonal flavours and designs coming out from time to time which is exciting to look out for. They have a good variety of products too which are great as gifts. I've so far gifted a custom box of 9 as well as a gift collab with Alethea flowers, which includes their signature 9 box plus a cute succulent. Only reason for the 4 star is because the price point is a bit on the higher end so I would only really order from them for special occasions (less than I'd ideally like to.. lol). I also experienced a disappointing hiccup with one of my gift orders which I would have never found out about unless I asked my friend to give me a breakdown of what they got. I ordered a custom box of 9 and 3 of the flavours were incorrect. More on the minor side, they forgot to include the note that they were supposed to put with the gift. For the price point and considering I ordered the custom box for a reason, it was disappointing to have 1/3 of the box with flavours I did not ask for. I did reach out to them to which they apologized for (they also have fast response times via IG which is really nice), and I acknowledge things are probably hectic for them these days. That being said, I would without a doubt recommend this place for their tasty macarons.. The buttercream is light and fluffy, not too sweet, and the shell adds the nicest crunch. Each flavour has its own adorable additional touch. read more

The Social Blend - Signature 9 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friend and I were in the area and saw that Social Blend was right across the street and so off we went!! The place is really cozy with a few tables around the cafe area. I liked that you can walk in and order the macs, especially if you stop by last minute. It took me a few minutes to decide on what to get as it was my first time trying this place out and to pick which flavours my family and I would like. I got a box of 9 and luckily we went at the end of the month which meant that I got to pick this month's and next month's flavours as well. From their classic flavors, I enjoyed the earl gray and the injeolmi very much. I kinda wished I bought their Dacquoise which look soft and interesting. Service was nice too, the person was by himself where he took the orders and also made the drinks as well. There was a number of customers waiting to order and he handled it with ease. read more

I've been wanting to visit The Social Blend for quite some time but hesitated because of its location and relative convenience for me. As a result, I was very happy to find out that they were doing deliveries during COVID-19, with free delivery for orders over $30! Placing my order via their website was simple, as everything was laid out easily with the online form and all information was found on the site as well (e.g. flavors of the macarons, delivery dates and the associated areas, costs, process, etc). I requested for their Signature box (of 9 macarons) to be delivered to my house on my associated area date and specified for contactless delivery. This meant that they would deliver it to my door and ring the bell to notify me, but I'd be paying via e-transfer (they sent me an email with my total amount and said that anything extra I paid would be given to the driver as gratuity). Lo and behold, on my specified date, I recieved a text from the driver to let me know that he was five minutes away! This was around 7 pm (and I had previously been told via email that they begin deliveries around 4-5 pm). When he did arrive, he not only left it at the door and rung the bell, but texted me and waited to see me pick up my package as well! My macarons were in a cute brown paper box (same as when you usually order from them) and a paper bag as well. Opening the box itself was very exciting as everything was so beautifully packaged and the macarons themselves are stunning! I have yet to try all the flavors, but the ones I have tried are very good so far. More importantly, things taste fresh and the texture is good. Can't wait to make my way through all of these goods. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my well-made cappuccino and individually wrapped macaron, both served with a smile. The strawberry macaron had an unexpected double layer of creme that was heavenly. I savoured every bite. Loved the little sidewalk patio but the best seats in the house are definitely at the window countertop. Such a great spot for people watching :) Anyway, this was my first time at the Social Blend but it definitely won't be my last! read more

The aesthetics of this spot are amazing. Absolutely love the ambience of the cafe and the staff are super friendly and pleasant. The macarons are beautifully made and are literally works of art. I wish I liked these as much as everyone else did in terms of taste and texture. The cookies were delicious, however, the texture of the cookie was very dense and didn't give that satisfying bite I usually get from other macarons (or Korean style macarons in particular). The buttercream filling was just not it for me - was like a blob of buttercream that lacked taste (there were some exceptions though). The toppings like the cheesecake, blueberry, and kitkat honestly helped out a bit with the enjoyability. I love the branding of the social blend and the looks. Definitely willing to give it another shot in the future! read more

I've been waiting to go here FOREVER. I'm so happy it didn't disappoint my high expectations. I had a brown sugar latte which was delicious. My husband had a drip coffee which he also said was delicious. The service was really welcoming and friendly, and super helpful as I asked a lot of questions. We got 5 macarons but there were so many flavours to choose from, it was overwhelming!! They look very delicate but they are easier to eat then I expected, they don't just fall apart which is great. The flavours were all amazing but earl grey really stands out to me. I live no where near here which is really sad but I'd definitely make the trek back out this way just to grab some things read more

Got these delivered with no problems at all! I received a text saying they will arrive in 10 minutes and that I should wait in the lobby. A female employee promptly came to the front door and dropped it off within the time limit. The macarons not only look good but they taste good as well! There was one that didn't taste quite fresh but all of the others were crisp, light and flavourful. My favourite was probably the Hazelnut Crisp. They also do limited time flavours which is fun around the holidays. Great gift to yourself or for a friend! read more

A local dessert spot I've always been wanting to try for a while, they offer thiccc macarons. I've seen their beautiful macarons on my Instagram, and I can definitely testify that they are even more beautiful in person, plus they taste great They offer many unique flavours for their macarons, and sometimes limited edition sets as well. We preordered the Valentines set, and paid alittle extra for the nice packaging. Trust me, it was worth it for the aesthetics (especially for photos ). The macarons were packaged very nicely upon delivery, and I was surprised how tasty each one was. I would recommend leaving it out for a few minutes if you took it out of the fridge for the cream to be softer. I'll definitely be returning for more macarons, I'm in love! read more

I received a set of macarons as a gift and enjoyed it. The macarons were the proper density and structure, and the flavours were delicious.

My order: Oreo, Blueberry yogurt, coffee crisp, honey lavender, tiramisu I originally heard of SOCIAL BLEND when my friend got me a pack of 9. I love that korean macarons aren't as sweet as the French ones. The place was popping. I went to pick up my order and it was a bit chaotic to park briefly while waiting. But of course, that's to be expected. Maybe next time I'll just get it delivered! read more

Really cute and trendy place with beautiful baked goods and coffee. I visited briefly on Sunday morning and picked up a couple of macarons as a gift. The store is beautiful, cozy and welcoming. They have some product in the front like masks, candles, and hair scrunchies available to purchase but I was more interested in the macarons. I saw pictures online so was super excited to order these overstuffed macarons in unique flavours. The people working there were super nice and patient as I picked out my flavours. I opted for matcha, tiramisu, raspberry and earl grey. They came wrapped in a really nice box with a postcard containing a guide with their flavours. This was a perfect little gift for someone as it was packaged beautifully and it added that extra value. The macarons itself were not bad, the cookie wasn't as chewy as I usually like and the cream wasn't so much a ganache but more of a firm whipped cream. The flavours were very subtle as well, I think I would have preferred stronger flavours. The price was on the higher end, around $4 and some change per piece. They do come packaged beautifully and they are heftier than a standard macaron so it's not completely outrageous. I'm not sure I'd order them again but I'd go back to try their coffee and maybe some other treats! Overall a cute place in the Yonge/Eglinton neighbourhood with unique treats and nice service! read more

These macarons have a very thick buttercream filling compared to regular French style macarons. I'm personally not a huge fan of buttercream but these macarons have surprisingly good flavour and are not too heavy. I think these are packaged well and make a great gift. They look beautiful and the flavours are diverse enough that most people will enjoy them. They are a bit hard to eat because of how big they are but it makes them easy to share. read more

I have been wanting to try these "fatcarons" for the longest time now, and I wish I got to try them sooner! These macarons are so thiccc and delicious, and will have you eating a full box in one sitting! My friend gifted me a Custom 9 Box with the flavours: - Matcha-Misu - Lemon Poppy Seed - Raspberry Chocolate - Banana Milk - Creme Brûlée - Yuzu Black Sesame - Earl Grey - Matcha KitKat - Blueberry Cheesecake All were delicious and unique in their own ways but my two favourites were definitely the Creme Brûlée and the Matcha-Misu as I have a very sweet tooth The brûléed shell on top of the Creme Brûlée macaron really hit the spot, especially wth the caramel in the middle. The Matcha-Misu was filled with a matcha cream cheese buttercream with a ganache in the center, and it was matcha overload but had just the right amount of sweetness!

I've been meaning to try The Social Blend for the longest time but their location was way too far for me to drive.. until I found out they did delivery! Super convenient for those who don't live downtown and they also offer free delivery if you spend over $50. The first time I decided to try out the signature 9 macarons and the signature 6 dacquoise. They are super generous with the filling and each macaron has its own "twist" which adds a uniqueness to the flavour. The dacquoise is more simple and softer than the macarons, but personally I enjoyed them equally as much! I've also tried the Santa box which comes with delicious festive flavours - eggnog brulee, marshmallow hot chocolate, gingerbread, etc. Although I still prefer the signature 9, the Santa box is definitely worth trying out and great as a Christmas treat for friends/family. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for the best macarons in Toronto! read more

$35/ custom 9 box Flavours: *Matcha Kit Kat *Earl Grey *Tiramisu *Blueberry Cheesecake *Strawberry Crunch *Injeolmi *Peach Mango *Pistachio *Melona First time trying social blend. All the macarons tasted EXACTLY like the description wow. My favs were the strawberry crunch , injeolmi (rice cake) and tiramisu. The box also came with a super cute printed drawing of the macarons! It is a bit pricier for macarons so I ordered when they had 25% off their store for their 2nd anniversary because who doesn't love saving money! $35 is the regular price for the custom 9 box. Overall, 9/10 for taste, 11/10 for presentation and 7.5/10 for value. Would get again it was on sale. read more
