Everything was well-balanced, flavourful, and plated with care. This is comfort brunch done right -- relaxed vibes, quality ingredients, and attention to detail in every bite. A great spot to slow down, eat well, and truly chillax. Richmond Hill Highly recommend for brunch lovers

This is my first time at Chillax Coffee & it was a great experience. There is an option to join a…read morewaitlist on Google but on our way there (15 minute drive), we checked & both times it said that there is no wait. We arrived at the small plaza with a small parking lot today (Saturday) around 10:15 a.m. & luckily enough, it was a quiet start to the day as parking was plentiful though I can imagine it being a bit hectic during busy times. This location (there are 2 others) is in the plaza right next to the Richmond Hill location for AI Sushi. As soon as we entered, we were promptly greeted & seated at a nice corner table. Shortly after that, a nice gentleman came to placed a QR code at our table asking if we've been here before. After we said no, he explained to us how to order using the QR code. We can all scan and order individually then it shows up as one large order for the table. I think he said he can split the bill if needed & we would just need to let him know. The place itself was nice. A bit above casual with around 20 tables inside. Well light and seemed clean. I ordered the Thai red curry pasta with clams, hubby and our friend both ordered the chicken and waffles, and my cousin ordered the mushroom benedict. We all ordered a drink (hubby a flat white with the rest ordering some type of latte). Our food came pretty quickly. My pasta was delicious and had good heat (spicy kick) to it & the red curry sauce was full of deep rich flavors. I enjoyed the clams but they were a bit small so it's taste got overpowered by the sauce. I would have preferred it if they gave me fewer but larger clams. I had a taste of my hubby's fried chicken & it was really good. The batter was well seasoned & crispy but not oily and the chicken thigh was moist. The staff know what they are doing there. We were asked whether we are enjoying our food & they always made sure our water glasses were full. I highly recommend this place & am looking forward to my next visit there!

Finally, a proper matcha latte! Maybe I just really like my matcha bitter, but The Library…read moreSpecialty is one of the best places to go to for matcha. The service was prompt and efficient, and there were a few spots inside for seating. It was quiet on a Saturday afternoon when we got there, but more people started coming in afterwards, and got some iced matcha (despite the cold, haha)! The hojicha latte was tasty as well, it tasted similar to the ones we had in Japan.

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

I would love to come back more often, but my only problem is that it's a little pricier than typical bakeries. For that reason I save it for special occasions to treat myself, rather than making it my go to spot. They have seats (probably only up to 10 or 12 people or so) and I (personally ) didn't notice free wifi or plugs so might not be ideal if you're looking for a cafe to work or study from. Cute aesthetic and vibe, great for chatting with friends or a solo date. The service is friendly, they'll bring the food to you if you dine in.

We tried to seasonal yuzu espressi tonic which was on the pricier side, but I thought it was worth it. The service was great. The drink was made quickly. The barista taught us to not use a straw for the drink, but rather drink it as is until half is left and then drinking it mixed. There are about 8 tables for two available for seating. We were here on a weekend so many people were playing and trying out instruments, which was really nice ambient noise. Very relaxing to enjoy coffee with live music. The parking lot was large and we easily found parking.

I ordered a hot chocolate since it's late in the afternoon, and I still got pretty latte art, yay :3 There were no more pastries by the end of the day, so go early if you want a treat!

I have not tried their coffee before, but seeing the reviews, I think it's worth a try. Relatively new at hand drip and Aeropress, so I asked the staff for recommendations for beans based on my liking and brew. She was very friendly at narrowing down to two bean types for me. She mentioned that most of the beans here are balanced, and the origin of the beans can be single or multiple, depending on the roast. The flavour profiles, strength and origin are all printed on the packaging along with the roasting date. Along with fresh beans, this location also sells a variety of loose leaf tea and also a large selection of coffee equipment and accessories. Having been searching for a milk frothing container, I have stumbled onto the right place. Brewed the coffee right away at home and the flavour was bright, smooth and fragrant. I'll definitely come back for sure to pick up more supplies! Note: Although there are equipment and a bar visible, the location doesn't serve any beverages. I think it'll be a great idea for customers to sample their beans before buying, so I hope that will come in the future!

And I haven't even begun to talk about the flavors. Their signature dish/pastry is the Mont Blanc. It is highly sought after, and often run out before the afternoon. We made a point of going there yesterday, from my partner's birthday to get some special treats. We were not disappointed. Despite being jampacked, as it often is, there was a good supply of the pastries we sought. New to the mix, is their version of a tiramisu. It is off the charts! The pastry chef is truly an artist. If you wish to try possibly the best pastries in the entire GTA, this is the place to go. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. It also pays a call ahead to ensure that you can get the products that you're looking for.

The coffee here is good, but I tend to skip most of the sugary drinks since they're a bit too sweet, especially when paired with an already sweet pastry. If you like your beverages on the lighter side, stick to the basics. Weekends can get very busy. If you're hoping to grab a seat and enjoy your treats in‑house, it's best to avoid peak times. Otherwise, it's a reliable stop for takeout pastries, cakes, and a quick caffeine fix.

My friend also ordered an extra drink (sesame hot drink). After we ordered our food, the manager gave us a Santa balloon to my baby. So cute. And my little loved it so much. The drinks came fast, and it is really a super size. Good for 2 ppl to drink it together. My cold drink no ice and less sugar was fantastic, that's what I liked the temperature and sugar level. Perfect! The food came after the drinks. We got our pictures and then started eating them. Size of each dish was just right to our family, and they were all tasty. We really enjoyed the night, the meals, the service, and it was not loud not crowded the whole night. I only knew it was a place to drink tea, but I didn't know it was restaurant before. Now I know that.

Listen, I give a lot of grace to servers because I know they probably have some kind of sad story, they've worked very hard all day, they have a hard job, and they've probably dealt with a bunch of bad customers. But when a smiling, friendly, courteous customer comes your way and you treat them like crap, it's a deal-breaker. The crappy service honestly did not make the decent meal worth it. For that price, I could get treated badly anywhere. We'll post pics anyway, but I sure hope things look up the next time I come back to try and give it another chance. The daily special is not even worth it anymore with the inflation of it to $17 plus $1 for every single thing you want different in your drink.
