Best espresso coffee in town, great food as well. The staff is super friendly. Julia, Enny and Francis are the kindest people ever.
I’ve gone here twice. The first time I went here, we got an vanilla iced latte upon the recommendation of the barista and it was really good. She was really accommodating at the time. Today we went back and we were so happy to see the same barista helping us. We specifically went to get the croissants and they did not disappoint! It was delicious and flaky! I got the chocolate almond croissant! The location and the ambient of the restaurant is plus points!! I would definitely go again!
This cafe is a hidden gem!!! Went down for a coffee just to find a whole restaurant on second floor. The amazing food options makes you want to buy everything off the menu. The kale pasta was AMAZING!!! 10/10 would recommend this place.
A hidden gem in downtown Toronto: The service at this cafe is exceptional. Andrea, Catherine, and John are always kind and welcoming, their attention to detail and ability to stream line service is outstanding. The food is always fresh and deliciously prepared. The Chef and his team create different lunch dishes weekly, and aim to accommodate costumer's requests.
Glad to find this gem - friendly service, fresh pastries and good coffee. There's an elevator to access upstairs seating and washrooms. Also a sunny patio. Will definitely come back.
A beautiful cafe with a vibrant vibe and friendly staff. This is my regular stop for coffee. We tried their food for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The chicken in the sandwich was moist and tender. The tomato basil soup and the garlic bread was refreshing. Will definitely come back! EDIT: We did come back! Tried their wild mushroom pizza and can say it was the best we've ever had! The veggie sandwich and KFC (Korean fried chicken burger) were on point too! Julia was lovely as usual and served us coffee and dessert on the house to add to our celebratory lunch! My favourite place for a delicious meal, amazing coffee and for having a lovely time! Thank you!
Great place for lunch, consistently good service and great food no matter what you get. I highly recommend their soups of the day and salads, value for the price. Their coffee is good as well, but nothing to rave too much about. Lovely casual place overall.
The service here was incredible. Andrea definitely made the mundane task of going to a cafe much more enjoyable with her friendly demeanour. I will 100% coming back.
