If you are looking for one of the most charming and thoughtfully curated experiences, The Vintage…read moreCat Cafe is a must-visit. We arranged to visit the cats as a treat and enjoyed a superb cup of coffee and lunch today. From the moment we stepped inside, we saw that the café has blended vintage style with modern comfort beautifully, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The cozy décor, soft ambiance, and carefully arranged seating make it easy to relax. Moreover, what makes this café especially unique is its thoughtfully designed, separate cat lounge; it offers a calm, enriching environment for its cats. We were able to completely unwind and appreciated their calming presence as we played with rod toys, introduced tube treats, and relaxed when they napped close to us. It was a happy and soothing experience. The Vintage Cat Café is an ideal spot for a leisurely lunch or a cozy coffee break because the menu complements the relaxed atmosphere. We thought that the culinary offerings were impressive, from expertly crafted coffee to a tantalizing selection of homemade pastries and hearty lunchtime treats, and everything is prepared with care and quality in mind. We recommend the spicy chicken wraps, particularly for guests who appreciate food that combines flavour with a hint of heat; these were delicious. Beyond the décor, the cats, and the food, what truly sets this cafe apart is the welcoming, knowledgeable staff who are enthusiastic about exceptional service and animal welfare. We found that their dedication is evident in every interaction with their customers, and this contributes to an experience that feels genuine and heartfelt. The Vintage Cat Cafe is more than just a café; you leave feeling genuinely uplifted, and whether you stop by for the coffee, homemade treats, charming vintage ambiance, or the one-of-a-kind cat lounge, you will have an unforgettable experience. We were planning our next visit before we even walked out the door.

In August, my team went to Daydream Adventures, an escape room nearby, and had a lot of fun. It was…read morea good team-building event. My manager had a budget for this outing. He wanted us to visit a place after our hour of fun to get something to eat or drink. The funds remaining allowed each one of us to get something for $10. He had a rather tight deadline to meet. He asked me whether I could find something with this restriction. First, I dislike restrictions, especially when it comes to food and drink. Second, what can you truly get for $10? Something on McDonald's value menu? I wasn't feeling it. I said that if we wanted to order something more substantial, that we could shell out ourselves. So, my manager's budget covered beverages. For food or more drinks, we had to pay. Done. I presented a list of places nearby. Unicorn Cafe sparked my interest. It's a quirky Asian cafe that offers drinks, snacks, ice cream, poke, and more. He was good with it, so we headed over here after our escape room adventure. I had parked on a side street where it was free, across from East Lynn Park. You can park on Danforth Avenue, but spaces are limited and it's Green P paid parking. Our group of six was greeted by a friendly woman at the front counter. We wanted to dine in. She said to grab any booth and someone would come over. We sat at a booth and admired this unicorn-themed eatery. The woman came over and asked that we look at the menu online. Someone would come over to take our order. We asked for water to begin. She nodded and left. I ordered the following items: - Unicorn croffle with orange sorbet - Black sesame potted plant I was the first person to place my order in the group. My manager heard what I had ordered and wanted the same thing, but with mango ice cream. Others in the group ordered these items: - Uniroll in mango ice cream, topped with chocolate chips and strawberries - Fries - Banh mi - Korean cheese corn - Honeycomb iced latte We never got our water. A man came over to take our orders. He took two items down incorrectly. We asked for water again. He nodded and left. My manager started to cough. He needed water. I had had it. I went up to the counter to politely ask for water for the third time. He came with me, hoping to get some immediately. Luckily, he was okay. I have CPR certification! We did not get our water until ten minutes after this third request. So sad. I had asked this male staffer to put our drink orders on one bill for my boss to claim it. For individual orders, I asked if we could place them with him now. He said later and left. Later never happened. My friend ordered his banh mi online and got it 20 minutes later. I decided to order my croffle that way. It worked, but I was the last person to get both my drink and croffle. Needless to say, service was horrible. The place was short-staffed. Not getting water to start and asking three times for some was appalling. Here's the scoop on what we had ordered and our verdicts: Unicorn croffle with orange sorbet It was excellent. The croffle was crunchy and flaky. I loved the Kawartha Dairy orange sorbet. My boss got Oreos with his croffle. I did not, which was a bummer. Black sesame potted plant It was creative, but okay. I wanted more black sesame flavour, but the crushed Oreo cookie part (the dirt) overpowered everything. Uniroll in mango ice cream, topped with chocolate chips and strawberries I got my colleague to go up to the counter and record a video on how it was made. She did and enjoyed seeing it being prepared. She enjoyed her rolled mango ice cream and the toppings that came with it. Fries My colleague got a huge plate of fries. It became our communal meal. He felt bad that I didn't get my food until an hour later and said that I could have them all. He was so nice, but I didn't inhale them. I had a few. They were crispy and yummy. Honeycomb iced latte My friend got this drink. It had honeycomb sugar on top. He let me have a bit of it. It's the real deal. It was sweet and cool to see. His drink had an espresso shot. He liked it. We are similar in that he felt the drink was too sweet. It could have done without the sugar in the drink itself. The honeycomb sugar on top would have added the perfect sweetness. Banh mi My friend loved his banh mi. The bread was crusty and soft where they should be. The veggies and meat were to his liking. He devoured it impressively fast. Korean cheese corn The newest member of our team ordered it. My friend had some. They both didn't like it. Shredded mozzarella wasn't melted on top of the corn. If you are going to add cheese, it needs to be melted and oozing all over the corn. It was a hard pass and a huge disappointment. Credit and debit cards are accepted. My boss had no issues with the machine and his transaction. As much as I loved my unicorn croffle, the poor, slow service put a damper on our experience. They need more staff and improvement in service. (378)

Service was a bit slow so they get 4.5 stars. Sakura matcha was layered, which was pretty. Each layer had its own pleasant flavour. After mixing I couldn't really taste the Sakura, but it was still a good rich matcha drink. The chewy pearls at the bottom had a nice texture. Poop waffle was warm & crisp & came in a Japanese style toilet. There was a choice of custard, red bean or Nutella but I chose to hew to the theme. The crumb was fluffy & quite fragrant. It could have more Nutella but it was free with a checkin so I really couldn't complain.

Coming from the western United States, my daughter made a list of about 15 places in Toronto she wanted to go ... And this place was #1 on her list! After reading the reviews, my wife and I told her it might not be what we expected, but it was everything we hoped it to be! We went a little after noon on a Friday in August and the place was completely empty when we walked in. Torched Salmon Bowl - perfectly seared and flavorful salmon in a cute presentation. Mango Korean Snow Bing-Poo - Great dessert! Lychee Korean Snow Bing-Poo - Tasty Ube Coconut Toile Paper Rolls - Yumm! Vietnamese Coffee and Lyche Sakura Soda Downsides -We ordered a Lychee Poop Waffle but were given the Lychee Korean Snow Bing-Poo. We wanted to experience the waffle but were fine with the Bing-Poo because it was good! -If you are tall, going to the bathroom (whether it be 1 or poo) it was not be fun with a shirt ceiling. -I asked if I could hold our six-year-old as they rolled the ice cream (toilet paper), which is something she's never seen before and they said "No, that's something we don't do." I don't think it would've harmed anybody and we wouldn't have been in anybody's way if I just held her and let her watch the process. I know I've watched, other places as they have done this. Our 2 year old spilled the entire Lychee Sakura Soda before we even took a sip and they cleaned it up for us and gave us a new one!

The interior is very modern with a sleek green, black, and silver aesthetic that feels perfectly suited for a younger/trendier crowd. As for the menu... the cheesecake matcha was divine... easily the highlight for me. I also tried the matcha croissant, which was a bit messy to eat but absolutely delicious and not over-the-top. While I'd love to see more seating available next time... the atmosphere and flavors are definitely worth it. I'll be back for sure!

I walked in expecting matcha. I walked out wondering when basic curiosity became a crime…read more The drink itself arrived without context, which is fine -- until you have a question about free gift that came with it. I asked. A simple, genuine question about what had just been placed in front of me. What I got back wasn't an answer so much as a facial expression -- a frown, the kind that makes you feel like you've personally inconvenienced someone's afternoon by daring to engage with the product you paid for. Then came the washroom code. Standard request at any café in the city. Standard frown, round two. At this point I started wondering if I'd missed a memo -- maybe Matcha Matcha runs on a strict no-interaction policy and the menu just forgot to mention it. Look, I'm not asking for a performance. I'm not asking for warmth, charm, or a backstory about where the leaves were sourced. I'm asking for the bare minimum of hospitality -- the part where a customer asks a reasonable question and the person behind the counter doesn't make them feel small for it. A café lives and dies by two things: what's in the cup, and how you feel holding it. Matcha Matcha got one right. The other one needs work.

Went on a Sunday morning for a candle making class with my family…read more We were welcomed by two super friendly staff. We got our drinks (included in the candle making class), while waiting for others to show up for the session. Once in the room, we were instructed by our candle teacher how to mix notes and scents together, it was super fun; especially for my two girls and surprisingly for mr. Tran too. Such a cute thing to bring your family to, or even a date night.

I came on a weekday evening and the class was pretty full (11 ppl). It was a nice activity and the instructor shared some basic candle knowledge with us. Sadly, it's not as hands on as I thought. You first smell the scents on the pre-set sticks, pick three, glue the wick on, mix three pre-measured scent bottles into the pre-poured hot wax, mix, pour into candle jar and wait. I could probably have done this is in 15 min. Majority of the class is the instructor describing the scents, explaining the different notes, teaching how to burn candles, selling things to add on, etc. We then spent another 20-30 min just waiting for the candle to set. I have been to other candle, soap, perfume making classes that were more hands-on. So maybe this felt very beginner. My candle also set funny (sunk in) and I think the wax they provided was clumpy. I did a diy candle making kit at home and it set so nicely so not sure what happened here. I did their glowness lab which is a little more expensive because it "incorporate essential oils, colour therapy and the healing power of crystals". The color therapy meant different color jars to pick from and the crystals were an additional $10 to purchase. With the 50% off it came to $62 for the class. I had fun because it was with a friend but I don't think I would really recommend this or come back. It's borderline worth it for $60, definitely not for $120.

The cafe is a work in progress where there will be coffees available at the front so you can enjoy their vibe without having to book a session and enjoy a latte while doing so. Big white fluffy dogs are definitely not available at Starbucks so this place should be a hit with dog-crazy Toronto!

From the outside it looks small, but the inside is actually a good size with plenty of space. We each tried one of their signature dishes, and everything came out looking really nice. The dessert was tasty but a bit too sweet for my taste. It probably pairs better with tea. But let me tell you the dragon fruit mango drink was so good, one of my friends ordered it twice!
