We came here because my boyfriend said that the banh mi was super good here and we had to try it…read more We shared the BBQ beef banh mi, the bugolgi beef banh mi, and the ube coconut smoothie. All of these sounded super promising however we felt a bit disappointed because it didn't taste like actual banh mi - more like a fusion sandwich. They didn't use the traditional banh mi baguette but rather we got a cut of a longer baugette. He did say how the banh mi before was really good here so unsure why they changed their products. :( I did appreciate how they warmed up the meat. The ube coconut smoothie's first sip was also really good but then we were left with a large chunk of shaved ice. This drink was definitely 80% ice and 20% liquid. Service was nice though and the cafe is super cute.

4.5/5! Tried this place for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. I had the…read morebang mi box and shared it with a friend, and we also ordered the signature milk teas. Overall, we really enjoyed the food! I loved how the box was filled with lots to try - there was the banh mi, the waffle fries, the spring rolls, the fresh rolls, and the mango/shrimp salad. You can customize the specifics of what goes inside your box btw. At the end, we were very full after the meal. I definitely think the box is a great thing to order and share between two people. Our box also came with a cute little message inside! Fun fact: this cafe is used a lot for local kpop meet ups and events. When we visited, the place was being set up for an ATEEZ event for the next day. For any anime/kpop fans, there are also sticker and photo card machines here!

Visited this cafe with my friend recently to grab some breakfast and catch up. It was extremely…read morebusy and we were barely able to secure a table. We got a mocha, latte, pistachio croissant and chocolate pistachio croissant. The cafe had several wonderful pastry options. The interior was beautiful and the chairs made it feel like you were transported to Europe. Two drinks and pastries ended up being $25 so a little on the pricier side but normal for Toronto. The only thing I didn't love was the fact that my latte was not hot at all and I was disappointed there wasn't latte art on either drinks. Other than that this place will definitely be worth revisiting

However, we stayed in here waiting for 15 mins for our 2 coffees. As people were coming in, he would take more orders instead of making the drinks for those who already ordered. Some people ended up leaving from the line. It's a shame because the cafe is nice, staff is friendly and coffee is good. But extremely SLOW service due to being severely understaffed.

Absolutely loved my experience at Mik Cafe--I'll definitely be coming back!…read more Food: The drink and pastries were delicious! I loved the Lavender Latte and the Blueberry Danish--will definitely be coming back for that combo. I also got the Mocha Latte which was also good! The pastries are made fresh everyday and you could definitely tell Service: Amazing service! The owner and the barista working (apologies, I forgot to get your names) when I arrived were super nice and friendly. Answered all of my questions thoroughly with a friendly smile and interacted with every customer that came after me in the same manner. They were super quick, despite it getting a bit busy at times. Ambiance: Adorable decor with a good amount of seats! There is wifi (if you choose to stay a bit to study or work, which is permitted) and outlets for your convenience. The interior is modern with a lovely red theme--you could tell that the owner loves this cafe! If you're worried about parking, theres plenty of free parking in the back. TLDR: Absolutely loved everything from the friendly owner and barista to the amazing food and drink. Will definitely be coming back to study and sip on a good drink. If you're in the area or live nearby, definitely stop by and say hi! Note: because they just opened a few weeks ago, they're having a promotion every Sunday from 10am - 12pm until the new year (Dec 31) where you can get a free coffee as a little "hello" to the neighbourhood. Additionally, they have a stamp system where if you buy 10 drinks, your 11th is free!

Compared to most cafe's that charge you a lot for a single sandwich (ie grilled cheese) it's cheaper than you'd think. It is great to see a more healthier business come into a spot that's been otherwise "shady" or "grungy", this one has healthy options as well as a good selection of soups (not all available everyday sadly). So far I'm pleased with the prices and options they serve and you can't get any more local than this single establishment that's the only one of its name!

Re-visited Tea One Cafe and this time, my friend and I got the three croffle with an ice cream for…read moredessert (5/5). The texture of the croffles had a crispiness on the outside which made this dessert delightful to take a bite into. We chose the Honeycomb, Tiramisu and White Chocolate Matcha. We thoroughly enjoyed each flavour but a personal favourite of mine would be the tiramisu. My friend's personal favourite was the honeycomb. We're both not into white chocolate but to our surprise, we enjoyed the White Chocolate Matcha flavour as well. The matcha's earthiness really complemented the touch of sweetness of the white chocolate. The cream on top of the croffle was also rich and smooth. The ice cream was a good addition. As mentioned in my previous review, the server was friendly and had a warm smile. The place encouraged people to connect with each other and I thought it was a cozy place to do just that. Overall, I would come back again to try out their other desserts.

While waiting for my order at The Empanada Company, I saw Fair Grounds Cafe and it intrigued me. I…read moredecided to drop by a week later, as I was in the area to get more empanadas. I found parking right in front of the cafe. It's diagonal, pull-in street parking. I walked in. It's a push to get through the door. I was immediately greeted by a friendly, accommodating staff member. I wanted a hot chocolate and asked about the four different ounce sizes. He showed me all the paper white cups. I went with the second-largest size. I also asked that I get soy or some non-dairy beverage added to it. Done! I have a weakness for baked goods. This cafe has vegan options, including pumpkin vegan muffins during my visit. Everything looked so goods, from brownies, to cookies. I saw the large cookie jars staring at me. My gosh, each cookie is larger than the palm of my hand and I have big hands! I wanted a s'mores one so badly. You basically take the tongs, grab your cookie, and place it in a paper bag. I got my hot chocolate and cookie that came to $9. It's not cheap, but it's fair trade goods. I expect to pay slightly more. There is a draft in the cafe, so the merchant bill that I had ripped off the machine before getting my bill blew off the counter and onto the floor. I let the man know, which he appreciated. You can pay by cash, and debit and credit cards. I also provided a tip. As usual, it's up to you. It was a bit of a challenge with full hands to get out of the cafe when you need to pull on the door handle to get out. Luckily, I put my hot chocolate on the bar-like table, pulled the door open, used my foot to keep it open, grabbed my drink, and moved quickly through the door. Problem solved! The hot chocolate is dark chocolate. I happen to love it. If you are more of a milk hot chocolate lover, you might find the hot chocolate to be missing sugar and perhaps taste bitter. I loved it. There was probably more soy in my drink than there should have been, but it was perfect for my less sugary needs. The s'mores cookie is extremely yummy! OMG, if I lived in the neighbourhood, I would buy the jar of cookies every day. It was buttery, chocolatey, and marshmallowy (I know, not a word, but whatever) delicious. It paired nicely with my hot chocolate, as it had slightly more sugar. I would come back just for this cookie alone. There were plenty of seats to sit down. If you sit by the bar-like area with stools, you get a nice view of the area. People-watching is casual in this cafe. It has a nice vibe. You can get a number of fair-trade coffee varieties. I am personally not a coffee connoisseur, but I appreciated both the selection and the cause. I like this cafe. I'd come back to give the muffins and more drink items a taste the next time I'm here.
