Lumière Pâtisserie is a Thornhill gem--proof that you don't have to go downtown for great pastries…read more Yes, it's tucked into a suburban plaza off a parking lot, but inside it's light-filled, calm, and smells like heaven. The service is consistently warm, and the pastry case is hard to resist. We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French. Still, this is the kind of place that keeps regulars coming back. We're definitely among them.

The espresso here is excellent - well-bodied in flavour, medium roast (I think?), and pairs nicely with the sweetness of the cakes & pastries. There's also a wide selection of small personal cakes to choose from - just make sure you come early since they do sell out! We shared the cream & crumb cheesecake (simple, classic, and incredibly creamy!) and tiramichoux (think a tiramisu profiterole - such a fun twist!). Looking forward to my next visit already :)

Thankfully, the vanilla bean latte absolutely did the job--and it was genuinely delicious too. The house blend espresso was smooth and creamy, with a rich chocolatey note without tasting overly roasted, exactly the way I like it. The vanilla bean flavour was also really pleasant, adding just the right amount of sweetness and aroma without overpowering the coffee. All in all, it was a near-perfect latte. The only downside was the price--I paid about $9 for a large with three shots, which felt a bit steep. Still, it was a very satisfying cup of java. I also appreciated the fact that it is doggo friendly as it has a jar of treats for your pups. I'll bring little morty over sometimes.

They offer pastries, drinks and tteokobbi as well. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. I got the Oreo Bingsu, Black sesame Bingsu, Strawberry Matcha latte, and Peach Ade. My favourite definitely has to be the Black sesame! It was really flavourful and came with red bean and mochi toppings. All were super yummy! Oreo bingsu felt like a better version of a Mcflurry. I would love to try their fruit bingsu or croffles next time! Ambiance was casual with a few tables with white and blue modern interior. Easy to find parking, may be chaotic but you will find it! Cups is a great gem added to Vaughan! Great dessert to get after eating or shopping as it's right by vaughan mills.

I think service was all right, but I'm happy that a lot of their Bakery items are actually made in house which means it is mostly fresh. I got the ice latte and a couple pastry items. My personal favorite was the almond croissant as for the latte. I think it was quite smooth, i had pay for simple syrup as i like my latte with a bit of sugar, which I thought it was usually free (thats on me, I was just too focused on decor and didn't notice until I got home) The only pain is they don't have parking so it's not the most convenient to get there unless I walk over. Still cute store tho!

Food wise, the pistachio croissant was well balanced and flakey! The pistachio cream inside wasn't overwhelming and it was just the perfect amount of sweetness. Highly recommend this cafe for a quality cup of coffee and a sweet treat.

Note for dairy-free fans: They currently only offer almond milk as an alternative, but it tasted delicious in my latte!

We wanted more caffeine last Saturday, so I looked up Haven Brews not too far from my place. The…read moreratings were high, the photos looked great, and I figured it'd be a safe bet -- so I brought my partner along expecting solid coffee. After trying my vanilla iced latte and my partner's macchiato... I wondered if this place might actually be better known for food or matcha, based on what I've seen in other reviews - the coffee was not good. The espresso beans seemed to be over-roasted, which were quite bitter for our liking as opposed to something more subtly chocolatey and nutty. My iced latte also got watery pretty quickly as the ice melted it seemed, and ended up tasting more like the kind of latte you'd get from a fast-food chain (or the espresso shot was way too long). A bit of a letdown, especially since the two fairly small drinks came to about $18. The space itself is cozy, and I really like the vinyl collection (which earned the 2 stars). That said, the records are noticeably pricey compared to typical vinyl shops like Sonic Boom. A lot of them -- even ones with just Side A -- were priced at $55 and up. I didn't cross-check the barcodes on Discogs, but while I love the curation (especially the focus on Japanese jazz and city pop -- really cool stuff), I find it hard to believe all of them are rare pressings worthy of those $55-to-several-hundred-dollar price tags. As an avid collector myself, I wouldn't come here to buy the records. Service was friendly.

I had a matcha latte with almond milk this time and I was pleasantly surprised, a perfect level of sweetness, and not to mention the foam! I had no idea this was possible with almond milk! I'll definitely be back to try their coffee and a bite.
