The coffee was rich and smooth, the milk foam just right; the pastry was warm and crisp, with a rich buttery aroma--a perfect match for the coffee. I found a corner seat and watched the people coming and going. What impressed me most was their attention to detail. From the carefully arranged tables and chairs to the friendly staff who remembered regular customers' names, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. It's not just a place to drink coffee; it's a place to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy a moment of peace. Leaving, I felt refreshed and satisfied, already looking forward to my next visit.

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

They make their own fresh juices and nut milks, which are perfect if you're looking for a healthy pick-me-up. The coffee is fantastic, but the real reason you need to go is for the smoothie bowls. They're bursting with fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, and literally overflowing from their bowls. The shop also has a bespoke bike section in the back with lots of apparel and options to order custom bikes. Up front, there's plenty of seating with a cozy, welcoming vibe, and they've also got some great outdoor seating so guests can bask under the sun! The atmosphere here is fantastic, and it's clear they've put a lot of thought into creating a space where people can relax and enjoy themselves. Owner, Prampton, is always so friendly and has created a lovely community here. Welcome to the hood!

Every time I walk in, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming; they genuinely make you feel like a valued guest rather than just another order. The atmosphere is always so pleasantand warm, which makes it the perfect place to decompress. I also really appreciate their no-laptop policy. Since I visit so often, I've come to love that it isn't just another "office cafe." It keeps the energy lively and social, making it a true neighborhood gem for actually enjoying your coffee and the surroundings. Highly recommend!

Think of a sweet garlic bread although still nice and savoury. I ordered another one to take home. I also had a matcha cookie because I was craving something sweet. The matcha cookie was unfortunately quite cold and dense with only a few white chocolate chips. I think it came from the fridge as this was the morning time and it was still defrosting. A customer sitting beside me had the red velvet cookie and she said she really liked it so maybe their other cookies are better. Will totally return for those unbelievable bagels!

Their jackfruit tacos are superb. SUPERB! And I think that their brunch options are great. Your millage may vary with the pancakes. I know some people don't like the texture, but I love the texture. So, you'll have to see for yourself. Their brownies are also superb. Normally black bean brownies leave something to be desired, but these ones always manage to knock it out of the park. I've been known to make the trip just pick up a brownie. The only downside is that the location is a little small, so it can fill out. But I'm hoping there will be outside options in the summer, or that success will lead to expansion. It's superb to see this location here, and I hope it stays for a long time!

Very spacious for group dining, couples or solo! I definitely wanted to try the Shopska salad and the Cevapi (chevapi) plate so that's what I ordered and it did not disappoint!! A must-order is the bread called lepinja (lepin-ya). It comes with a fresh cheese called kajmak (k-eye-mak) The cevapi plate comes with your choice of 3 sides - coleslaw with oil/vinegar, potatoes, diced raw onions, or baked beans. Everything was fantastic. The cevapi were perfectly done. Lepinja and kajmak were amazing. Kajmak is home-made there, and you can buy some to go! Shopska salad features cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and green peppers in an oil/vinegar dressing with a mountain of shredded feta on top!!! Soooo good!!

We ordered lepinja sa kajmakom, which was a homestyle bread with cream cheese. This was the star dish of the night omg, priced at $5 for 4 pieces it instantly set the meal in the right direction! We then got the shopska salad which was a salad with tomato, cucumber, onion, green pepper, and feta. Salad was mid, but it was nice to have greens as our main was the mesano meso, a grilled meat platter for 4. This platter was so filling and had different varieties of meats. The best meat in this selection was the sausage, I unfortunately found everything else a little lacklustre. Service was great throughout the night, ambiance was nothing super special. Verdict: come for the homestyle bread!! Still thinking about it haha

It is a small family restaurant. has a lot parking places on front and beside the restauran. The environment was very welcoming. The owner and his partner greeted us friendly and smiling. We ordered a mixed plater which was for more than three people. The owner offered us a woody plate with prosciutto crudo and salami that was so good. Then we had a bigger woody plater with mixed meats which was so good grilled and abundant, fresh with chevapi, chicken breast, veal steaks potatoes and so on. The flavors was outstanding. We had the homemade pita bread excellent, warm and soft with some dipping starter. The salad with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and red onion. Outstanding dishes. I think this restaurant is a very hidden gem. It might be the best Mediterranean restaurant in the city. Highly recommended
