    I went to Forest cafe and ordered a dedelicious latte. I typically order drinks without alterations when I try them for the first time and I found this a little sweeter than preferred. I'll get it with less syrup next time. The cafe is definitely cozy with a very inviting theme. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area!

    Regular Dalgona Iced
    Jennifer K.

    Came here on a Sunday morning at around 10:30am and it was already quite packed! I got the iced regular dalgona coffee (around $5.65) and was able to find a seat to do some work for a few hours. The service was quick and friendly, and I appreciated the self serve water station. There are lots of people studying, and some people talking and catching up. I really enjoyed the dalgona - it wasn't too sweet and the little candy bits on top added a nice crunch. Some of the food items run on the pricier side similar to other cafes, but I would definitely come back to try other drinks and their cookies.

    Dalgona Iced Coffee

    This is a pretty standard IG cafe with aesthetically pleasing decor and Korean inspired drinks. I got to try their dalgona iced coffee, which was good but not much more than a sugary iced coffee. One thing that all the online videos do not mention is the parking. There is not a clear spot to park your car near the cafe, you would have to park on the street nearby at your own risk. I would have considered coming back but parking is quite precarious.

    Biscoff croffle
    Carol Y.

    This Korean cafe caught my eye the moment I saw a post about it on social media! From the urban forest vibes, to the beautiful drinks, and all the way to their croffles. The smaller, curated menu always gives me hope because it means the team takes more effort to dedicate to a couple of key drinks/dishes. The croffle was presented so cutely, but it did take a bit of time for it to be ready. Not pictured here was a dalgona latte, but the grapefruit-ade is shown in this photo. I think their fruitades are more of an aesthetic thing - I would pass on it because it just tasted like any other pop. This place gets packed even on weekdays, and one of the frustrating pieces is that it is SO hard to find parking because it's very limited (not the cafe's fault, but definitely a deterrent for me). I also did think the croffles were bit overpriced.

    Came here with some friends for a meet up! We tried some of their cofffles (lotus biscoff - $11~ and apple crisp - 13~) and found both of them delicious! The apple crisp had a very 'apple pie' like vibe to it while the biscoff was sweet! I also had the iced dalgona coffee ($5.25) and found it very tasty as well! The dalgona melted into the ice coffee a bit adding to the flavor and I found that they mixed very well together. Had fun and the cafe itself was super cute! Wish I took more pictures but I definitely like the spot!

    The iced dalgona latte was so good & so nostalgic as it is reminded me of the covid days! I loved the cafe vibes as there is free wifi & lots of seats with plugs available. This is the perfect spot to study, work or catch up with friends. I was greeted upon entry which left a positive experience for me considering the great service.

    Located by the condos, Forest Cafe is a busy local cafe that is not only a great place to chill, but to also grab some bites and drinks. The difficult part about visiting, is probably finding road side parking on the weekends as it's usually full. We came on Sat around 2:30pm, and it was quite full inside. The food menu consists of simple sandwiches, croffles and snacks on display. We opted to try the Beef Sausage Sandwich, Chocolate Croffle, Brownie and Dalgona Coffee Latte. The sandwich was quite tasty - a toasted croissant sandwich with a big piece of beef sausage, wrapped with tomatoes and lettuce. Nothing special, but was satisfying enough to be my brunch meal. The croffle was very tasty, and inside was filled with Nutella - one of my favourites! The fudge brownie was also a hit, it wasn't too sweet, but had big chocolate chunks filled inside. My only complaint was that I wish it was bigger haha. The Dalgona Coffee Latte was also a great drink to complement what we ordered. We got the cold and hot, and personally I liked the hot just because cold drinks usually comes with ice, which would dilute the drink a little bit. Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm in the area, and need a place to relax. IG: Ayeween

    Really nice and stylish place. My first time there was a Saturday afternoon and it was packed and I could barely find a place to sit, but another day was a weekday morning and it was plenty spacious and pleasant. Great drinks and even some great food. I had a nice Chocolate Croffle with my Sesame Latte last time. The staff are pleasant and they seem to enjoy their craft so of course I'm game to keep supporting this local biz!

    food: 4/5 the coffee here is always great! Compared to other independent cafes, they have a relatively large menu composing of both drinks (coffee and smoothies) as well as food. They also offer oat soy and almond milk alternatives. The dalgona latte here is very smooth and not too milky or sweet, if you like the taste of espresso, this one's a great choice. I believe they also offer online mobile ordering as well, which is very convenient and rare for independent cafes. Service: 4/5 pretty standard coffee shop service. The baristas here are generally pretty efficient and friendly. I do appreciate that there is water available to self serve within the cafe, so you don't need to bother the staff for it. Atmosphere: 4/5 location isn't ideal for a ttc commute and parking is not great... so keep that in mind. However, they really do pack a lot of seating in here, as well as some outdoor seats. There's also a few outlets around the cafe which is a must have for me in a cafe evaluation. If you're someone that values the seating and comfort of the cafe over food, this place may be for you. However, I will note that it does get a bit crowded and seating may be competitive depending on time of day. I've also noticed that every time I've come here it's generally full with people getting work done and not really social gatherings, which keeps the volume relatively faint. Overall such an adorable spot to grab a coffee and get some work done!

    I spent a week or so in the apartments/condos in the area and spent my mornings at Forest Cafe drinking coffee and doing some work. I got to try most of their offerings except for the Dalgona coffee and any of their food. Their coffees are better than other places within walking distance. However, I don't think it's anything special. The cafe itself is very pleasant and aesthetic (korean aesthetics). They have a huge Monsterra plant inside. It's super bright inside with natural light as they are a corner unit with two glass walls. I recommend this place for doing some light work/reading. Would I go back? Maybe if I'm stuck in the area..

    Matcha Cream Cheese Cookie
    Aswini K.

    This is a cute aesthetic cafe near Fairview Mall with friendly staff. It's a great spot to study, but you'll need to parallel park if you get here by car. I tried the: 1) Tropical Fruit Tea - this tastes so good! It's one of the pricier drinks, but it has slices of strawberries, grapefruit, lemon and lime in it. It also has popping pearls which was a nice surprise. I would recommend this drink. 2) Forest Ade - this is lime and mint flavoured. The flavour is really light and refreshing. Not too sweet or sour. 3) Matcha Cream Cheese Cookie - this cookie has a soft texture with cream cheese filling. I did wish the matcha flavour was stronger though. Overall a great spot I would consider returning to!

Their croissant was so flaky & delicious, ordered 1 to try first then went back to order a 2nd Dad ordered a royal milk tea which was very smooth, mom ordered a sweet cold brew latte. I love this place !!

    The breakfast sandwich combo is one of a kind. Fantastic deal - the sandwich is tasty, and so is the Americano. In fact, it was so good I got the 50$ prepaid membership card

Parking can be a bit busy but usually okay. The service both times has been patient and kind to explain the various options. We decided to go with a milk cake with half lotus and half Dubai chocolate. The cake is soaking in milk which gives it a "wet cake" texture. I imagine it may not be everyone's favorite texture but has decent flavor. The crunchy topping contrasts against the soft, moist cake. The lotus has that nice cookie flavor and crunch while the Dubai chocolate with pistachio offers that chocolate and nutty flavor. I prefer the latter but both are good. We also got a matcha strawberry latte to go. Both really nice to look at and to drink. The matcha has good flavor without being overly bitter while the strawberry provides that fruity sweetness to the drink. Overall, it's a pricier experience but I enjoyed it and will be back.

Arriving at 11 opening time and being the first table seated we were excited to order. We ordered the sweet potato fries to share and found it standard and delicious. Fried well to crispiness and not too salty. But when we tried the Taiwanese meat sandwich and the Mushroom Sandwich and found them lacking in flavour and most importantly cold. I've tried these korean style egg sandwiches before and the main thing is that the bread is and the egg is warm when serving. So it really threw us off that the egg was fridge cold. Cold eggs and stale bread that honestly tasted oily was a disappointment for this spot. We ordered the ice cream sandwich for dessert which WAS enjoyable and the saving grace of the meal.

Expectation wise? Don't expect Michelin star chefs or fancy interiors. It's a very humble setup in a non-traditional office building with staff who go the extra mile to assist customers. My pasta was made on the spot by the same person who took my order and made my espresso. He was a very honest, hard worker who served customers while making the food and drinks from scratch. I watched him meticulously cleaning all the cooking equipment, espresso machine, countertops, surfaces, and cleaning the floors after serving his customers. I was very impressed by his work ethic and dedication. I tried the penne pasta with mushroom and sausage topped with Alfredo sauce. It came with garlic bread and salad. Their number one ordered meal. So good! The penne pasta with rossa sauce (rose sauce) came with chicken and mushrooms. I prefer the Alfredo sauce as it was rich creamy and delicious.
