There's a sign to use the side door, which you can get a taste of the interior decoration. I ordered almost immediately since there was no line, although there were many patrons already seated and some who had just ordered. While waiting, I sat down at an available table, and noticed that there is also a back patio where you can sit as well. Even though I ordered for takeout, the staff brought my latte over to me. They did forget to bring my carrot cake with it, so I did have to ask for it as I was leaving, but they were apologetic about it. The carrot cake was really good! I found the coconut flakes topping a bit overwhelming, but that could be just because I'm not a huge fan of coconut. There's free street parking: however depending on how busy it is, you may need to find a street to turn on to find it on the opposite side (which happened to me today).

This is such a cute cafe, and I feel so lucky to find this hidden gem. The cafe was pretty busy on…read moreSaturday afternoon, so maybe not so hidden haha. We ordered Dandy latte as non-caffein option that was so delicious. So, I even searched the ingredient to make it at home until my next visit to here. They have very spacious back patio. Totally worth checking out during the summer!

I was looking for a place to do some studying cafe, and I decided to stop by STAE Cafe!…read more STAE Cafe was quite busy when I walked in. There's about 7 or 8 tables available, and I sat down at one of the smaller tables since those were the only ones available. There's QR codes on each table so you can order what you want through your phone. They also deliver your food/drinks to your table. I ordered the blueberry matcha latte, which I was pleasantly surprised about! It had just the right amount of sweetness, and the blueberry flavour pairs so well with the matcha. I'd definitely order it again! There is a 75 minute seating policy. however, I'm not too sure if they strictly enforce that. I did work for about an hour and there were people who came before me that were still there. It is a very busy cafe, so if you can't study in a noisy area, I would recommend bringing noise-cancelling headphones or going to a different cafe. Overall, the cafe has a great aesthetic and a short but quality menu. I'll be back when I'm craving a decent matcha!

I have tried their - Americano -flat white -blue pea flower latte -matcha latte -spanish latte -strawberry matcha cold drink -matcha white chocolate cookie And have enjoyed all of them!

The strawberry matcha was extremely sweet and tasted of strawberry milk and not much matcha. But the lime fizz tasted better than I thought and had a good matcha taste. Would go back to try their regular iced matcha though!

decided to check this place out for the first time and came away pretty happy with it. the space is…read morereally nice -- bigger than i expected, and i love the amount of natural lighting. we tried a couple of their drinks and they were solid. i liked the hojicha, but it was a tad bit too sweet for me. they also have some bakery options available. i didn't take photos of it but they seemed pretty standard. one thing to note: it was pretty packed with students when we visited -- laptops everywhere, but people are still chatting and socializing. it's definitely not quiet lol but if you have earphones it should be doable. bathroom was fine -- nothing to complain about. and just a heads up, the wifi does require a purchase to connect (the code is in your receipt), so plan accordingly. overall a good first visit. would come back.

The scones are my favourite par non. Their sandwiches, specifically the Cubano style sandwich, set this place apart from any trendy place in Bloorcourt. A definite must try even if it's just for a subtle coffee while working. A recommend place in my books!

Our neighbours at Futura, have recommended this place for pizza several times and so I finally…read moreplaced an order for two slices, the vegan slice and the Margherita. We live in the area so it was still warm when I got home and boy oh boy was it f*cking great pizza. It was fresh, crunchy, flavourful, and a great size for $5.50. The door di latte was amazingly fresh, it's ridiculous! My partner enjoyed her vegan slice as well and raves about the tomato sauce and the slight hint of spice it had. I really commend this place because not only do they have vegan options but also gluten free options and at reasonable prices and great portions. This has blown other pizza places in the area out of the water so if you're looking for some great delicious pizza, look no further because this is the place to go! We'll definitely be back and I look forward to trying their coffee too!

Ok now there are no words for how amazing this place is. Literally I'm trying to find them but it…read moreseems I must have a tear in my "bag of tricks" and they have all escaped. All I can say is...wow! The coffee was out of this world. I had a flat white which arguably is almost as good as the ones I had in Australia where the drink originated. And the baked goods and breakfast sandwiches, oh my. I had to literally get almost one of everything. Only thing I wish they did was warm up the breakfast sandwiches. But then again I didn't ask for it that way so maybe they do. Who knows. Well there you have it folks. If you're driving past this joint and are thinking...I wonder if they're nay good. The answer is...STOP WONDERING! PUL OVER IMMEDIATELY, LIKE NOW! And get it all and I mean alllllllllllll. Oh and you are welcome.

There's also a few tables if you want to dine-in. Service was quick with order taken and drink made right away. No additional prompts at time of payment for tips. The lids are also not made of plastic like most other places, so that's pretty unique. The Oat Latte I ordered tasted great, no burnt taste or sourness like some other places. There's a lot of available street parking.

I tried the coconut drink with matcha cold foam, super rich coconut flavor that paired perfectly with the matcha. I originally wanted coffee, but the owner recommended it since it's popular, and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend got a hot latte with a strong coffee flavor, which we loved. We studied and read for a bit; the soft music makes it a perfect spot for studying or hanging out with friends. They're only open Fridays and weekends, so be sure to check their Instagram before going for more accurate hours. The owner is incredibly kind and even brought our drinks to the table. Also their prices are tax included which is why on the menu they seem a bit more pricey. There is also no tipping. Definitely coming back!

The croissant itself was sooooo crunchy and can see the layers through but that cream was a sweet surprise. I can't describe anymore that you should go try yourselves. The seating of the cafe is a bit darker inside but then it's probably very inside and no natural light coming thru - should be expected. Otherwise they have a seating (bar style) at the front to soak in the sun on sunny days and have a good read if you are a book worm. The customer service seemed ok, not so impressive. But meh who cares when the coffee and baked goods are this good!

The panini's they all sounded amazing and didn't know what to choose. We ordered one to share and it was so good we decided to order another. The ice cream is also good, they were out of the one we wanted but it was still delicious! Service & Cost: I must say i really loved the service. I don't go to Ajax often as i'm from Richmond hill. But the owner is so nice and sweet! Had a real nice chat. She was informative about the menu and talked a bit about herself. She has special events and 10% off for seniors on Tuesdays. All these cute events: Comedy night, games night, open mic night, date night, meetings, live music... They even have board games you can play for free at the back. The price is fair for the quality of food and service that you receive. I will 100% go back and highly recommend to everyone. A real gem both the Cafe and the owner. Love!!
