They operate as a café during the day, offering espresso-based drinks, matcha, teas, soft serve, as well as pastries where it turns into a cocktail bar at night with some light and a drink menu. The space is spacious and fully accessible with lots of seating throughout, however, there are some house rules which are fully listed on tables. You must order before seating where each guest must order. If you stay to work there you have to order another beverage or food item every 2 hours. They have 1-hour seating zones which are kept for people staying a shorter time (less than 1 hour). There is no outside food or drink allowed and the business wants individuals to keep chairs clear. Moreover, they only want customers to make quiet calls only to not disturb others. I've been by No 10 Dean a few times for coffee and once for soft serve. The staff are friendly and the coffee is decent, however, not the best I've had in the city. The space is great for hanging around (although there are many people who end up working there with their laptops). It is also in a good location at College and Spadina as well. Overall, a decent coffee shop, good place to get some work done or to hang out with friends. Just have to keep in mind their house rules if you stay longer than 2 hours!

Fast forward to a few years later, I decided to hit up Goldstruck Coffee again recently since I was in the area looking for a coffee shop that opened early in the morning. This particular location does have seating for about 25 customers where you are able to dine in or take out. Menu wise, Goldstruck Coffee has your classic espresso based drinks (espressos, lattes, cortados, flat whites, cappuccino), drip coffee and pour over, teas, matcha, and other alternative drinks like the mushroom latte or hot chocolate. Signature drinks include the halva latte, cayenne latte, and caramel latte. They also have canned sparkling waters as well. Food wise there is a display filled with pastries (muffins, cookies, scones, croissants) as well as sandwiches from Feast (a Toronto based company). They also have pre-made crepes as well. I stopped by Goldstruck Coffee close to their opening time around 7:30am (it's great they open that early!). When I arrived, surprisingly there was another customer already enjoying their beverage there. I opted to get a cortado and an egg and sausage sandwich (from Feast) which the staff heated for me. Staff were friendly. Enjoying the quiet space, my cortado was made well and even came with latte art. My sandwich took longer to heat up but that was okay. The sandwich was decent. I wasn't a huge fan of the taste of the sausage where I should have opted for the egg and bacon sandwich instead. However, I finished my food as well as my coffee and placed my dirty dishes in the container clearly labeled for dirty dishes. Overall, a decent place for coffee in the area if you are looking for somewhere that opens early!

I don't think it was a cookie it was probably something different but it tasted so yum! The drinks were also really good and I liked how pretty the straws looked lol, very aesthetic.

I found the baristas often recognized people and knew their favourite cafe, or had some small talk. Therefore, I think it's a better cafe than Starbucks, lol
