    Stopped by yesterday and cafe has a nice interior. The further you go back, there is a area with a fountain, a book with a table and a little room with books filled up. I got their Lychee Rose Matcha for 8.5. Its a cute drink but the lychee flavour is a bit hidden. I like the matcha though. Its a bit noisy so I would consider maybe more off times if a quieter vibe is more your scene. Don't come with a big group, maybe just you and another as seating can be quite hard to find.

    This place is definitely living up to the hype, but damn it's busy! We went on a Saturday afternoon -- limited seating, limited food menu -- but definitely had a good time! This checks all the boxes for an aesthetic cafe afternoon with a cute date ;)

    I think the cafe is absolutely beautiful! The interior is very well thought through and has a very calming feel. The only thing is that the place has become overcrowded with a ton of influencers sitting here for hours just to get the perfect shot while there are people lining up to get coffee. We ordered their lychee rose matcha and I could taste the good quality matcha in the drink. The lychee flavour was very subtle but it was nice. The drink was served in a nice glass but the quantity wasn't great for close to a $10 or maybe that's just me!

    Such a cute spot with great vibes. Got the salted cream Vietnamese coffee -- strong and tasty, just a bit too sweet for me personally. Would definitely come back to try more from the drink menu.

    The downtown crowd is already eating up this aesthetic cafe (including myself). The antique-y decor, vinyl wall, full size indoor trees, and fountain are just a few of the elements that make this space so inviting. I came here on opening day, and it was busy as expected, but they were well-staffed. Per the cashier's recommendation, I got the lychee rose matcha. I don't always love rose flavoured items, but this drink had a good balance of sweet and fragrant. I'd really love to come back and try one of their condensed milk drinks, given that its owners are viet. There is quite a bit of seating, including two hidden rooms in the back if you're looking for a more private experience. Once it's less crowded, I could see myself coming here for working or socializing. Fantastic addition to queen street!

    Botanic Coffee and Caphe located along Queen St. W. near Palmerston Ave is Toronto's newest coffee shop with garden-inspired vintage decor and a hidden library in the back. Despite only opening a few days ago, the cafe has become pretty popular due to it's beautiful aesthetic (there's a chandelier near the back of the space!) and unique drinks. Being Vietnamese owned, the space is completely accessible where there is seating throughout to enjoy your beverages and pastries. They are open daily where they even open at 7am from Mon to Fri (Open Sat/Sun at 8am) and close pretty late (around 7-8pm). Menu wise, Botanic Coffee and Caphe has your classic espresso based drinks, caphe (Vietnamese coffee), matcha, affogatos (think strawberry matcha, matcha matcha and even black sesame hojicha), as well as a unique lineup of signature drinks (cocoano, peanut butter lattes, hojicha black sesame cloud, lychee rose matcha latte, a matcha lavender cloud, etc). They also pastries (croissants, danishes), as well as desserts like tiramisu, banana pudding, and ice cream. I stopped by Botanic Coffee and Caphe the first weekend they opened on a Saturday. Despite it being only 9:30 in the morning, the cafe was half full with customers already enjoying their drinks and pastries. During my time there, there was a steady stream of customers coming and leaving. During their soft opening a few days ago the cafe opened where you could also get free flowers with a drink, where it became super popular on social media. I decided to grab a condensed milk caphe and a butter croissant, where I opted to have my beverage and pastry there to enjoy the space. For the Vietnamese coffee, I did ask for less condensed milk as I prefer it to be less sweet, knowing that Vietnamese coffee is quite strong. Staff also asked me if I wanted my butter croissant warmed. Once my items were ready, I picked them up from the back but didn't have enough hands to grab my croissant. Staff (I believe one of the owners) was super nice and also helped me bring my items to the table I was sitting at. Service wise, the staff are so friendly despite it being busy! You can tell that they are genuinely happy that their coffee shop was busy with customers. They also asked for feedback on the items I had after I finished everything. In regards to my Vietnamese iced coffee and croissant, everything was great! The vibes of the cafe were so relaxing and chill. I loved all the plants and the overall interior of the space. The small details in each part of the coffee shop added to the overall aesthetic of the space. Overall, a beautiful new coffee shop located along Queen St. W. near Palmerston Ave. I will definitely be back for sure to try their other unique drinks as well as enjoy the space. I already anticipate that they will do extremely well and that the cafe will be busy for the weeks to come.

    Botanic is such a cute cafe! While their drinks are great (I tried the strawberry matcha & lavender matcha lattes), what makes this place special is the ambiance. It's a pretty large space with tons of books, records, plants, and even a fountain in the middle! There are plenty of seating options, though not all are laptop-friendly so keep that in mind if you're planning on getting some work done from there. I also tried the chocolate almond croissant which was way too sweet for my taste, but the drinks and vibes definitely made up for it. The prices are a little expensive - over average - but I'd still recommend checking this place out if you're looking for somewhere to chill and chat for a couple of hours. Make sure to walk all the way inside and see their (somewhat secret) library rooms!

    Tried Botanic cafe and overall... it's solid, but didn't fully win me over. The space is impressive, but finding a seat was a bit chaotic, probably because they're still new. There's a back room with a library setup that's much quieter than the front, which is where I ended up working. Coffee-wise, I tried a cortado, it was fine, but leaned a bit too bitter and threw off the balance. Not the best. I also had a peanut butter latte, which was actually pretty good, but I'll need to retry the cortado to really judge their espresso. Food was the highlight. The peach danish was excellent, literally half a peach on top, really well done. Service was good, no issues there. Overall: A decent spot with a cool concept, but a bit too mainstream for my taste. Worth a visit, especially for the pastries.

    we were looking for dessert after dinner and came across this place for bingsu. we got the seasonal…read morechestnut tiramisu bingsu (which only had the large size), and we also got the small injeolmi bingsu to share between 4 people which was the perfect portion. i really liked the brownie bits in the tiramisu, the bingsu itself isn't too sweet so the brownies added a nice bit of sweetness. the injeolmi one was also pretty good. i really liked the mochi toppings that it came with. the inside of the place is really cute. there are some seats upstairs and more seating downstairs. the downstairs area was decorated with flowers and photocards hanging around, and there's also a photobooth there. we chose to sit upstairs since it was a little dark downstairs. we came around 7pm on a saturday and it wasn't too crowded. you order at the kiosk when you enter and the desserts came out pretty fast. i would definitely come back here to try the other items on their menu, such as their toast and other bingsu flavors.

    It's a cute cafe in the Spadina strip. We tried the mango bingsu and the beargato which was…read morebasically affogato poured on a bear and I am editing this review to add a few things around the taste... So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

    One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

    Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

    I heard that this was a must have when traveling to Toronto. BeaverTails did not disappoint…read more I went straight for the BeaverTails, although they do offer other delicious options. We ordered the Bananarama and Coco Vanil. They are both awesome, although if I could only choose one, I'd go with Bananarama. It was amazing. I'll be coming back for more in the days to come. The service was fantastic. The individual that helped me was very nice. She had several recommendations. There is a nice patio to enjoy your treat, along with the views. Like I mentioned before, I'm definitely coming back for more. I highly recommend you visit BeaverTails when in Toronto. You will not be disappointed.

    I'm so glad I FINALLY got to try Beaver Tails when I came up to Toronto. I remember seeing it from…read morean old Cartoon Network show (Anyone else remember "Stoked") and I knew I just had to try it when I finally got up here. I got the Avalanche (Skor,Cheesecake, and Caramel) and I loved that they stretched the dough when we ordered and then start frying it right there. It really ensures that we get freshly fried Beaver Tails at the peak of their deliciousness. After I got mine slathered with the toppings I ordered, I dug in and as expected, it's really hot but SOOOOO good. It's like the concept of a donut only thinner and crispier, thus resulting in a much better texture and crunch throughout which I very much prefer over a donut actually. The cheesecake spread mingling with the sweet caramel, crunchy toffee bits, and crispy hot dough is just such a perfect combination. It's a bit of a mess to eat but sooooo worth it. It really is such a shame that there isn't an establishment like this in NYC because it could seriously do some REALLY good numbers over here I reckon. I HAVE to get this again when I come back up to Canada (unless ya'll want to build a place down across the border haha).

    Another level of AMAZING!…read more Croissants and drinks were a 10/10 across the board. We loved everything so much we had to come back the very next day to buy more. They have so much drink and dessert options to choose from! My favorite was the potato bacon croissant, such a delicious savory combo. Everything else we tried was just as great. They have so much cream filling inside.

    I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!
