    Great coffee place at commercial! Plenty of seating for couples and singles, not that great for big groups. This place has a variety of coffee that tastes great and other drinks such as hot chocolate. As well, they also have an assortment of pastries. For the summer, they have gelatos.

    The location and business hours are great. Situated at a corner with street parking, it is a convenient place to meet friends for a drink. It also opens till late (9/10 pm) which gives them the after dinner or evening crowd. We were looking for a place to have coffee or tea, and the other coffee shops in the area close early like 5/6 pm. Besides drinks, there are pastries and gelato. We only had the coffee and it was ok. They charged extra for iced version and it was not stated in the menu. I only found out after I got the receipt. They also cannot do iced version for the regular coffee. It has to be Americano and latte etc. I had their house latte which was to have condensed milk but I couldn't really detect the condensed milk at all. It must be quite minimal in it. The reason to come here is they open till late and there is ample space to chill and have a nice chat with friends.

    While the fumes of the lacquered counter tops still lingering in the air and paint is just drying, this triplex ice cream shop / cafe and bakery is open for business. As we enter this shinny new cafe, we find it to be filled with enthusiasts. Each with a cup in hand while the other hand on laptops, some on books some on their partners. Alright place looks promising. With wet chilly spring weather, we opted for couple of hot drinks and some pastries. Pause the idea of gelato for another time. Hot cocoa, double baked hazelnut chocolate croissant and cinnamon bun. Let me tell you, they looked good and promising. Also costed a pretty penny. Definitely above average in prices. Then the quality reveal. We found definitely the pastries were at least a day old and gamey. Yup that's right, they do not have the hallmarks of freshness, flakey crispy layers and softness. I'd imagine they might have been great when they just came out of the oven. But not the case here today for us. Service was touch and go. While the cashier was polite, the barista was outright rude. Also the payment splash screen- whats with the 15%, 25% gratuity when they actually do zero service like cleaning the sticky tables or clear way dirty dishes-the 45 minutes while we were there? I know I know this place is just a baby, so they may just be reviving up?!? I am going to be gentle here and give them 2.5 stars. But I will not likely be back.

    It was busy as expected Saturday afternoon, but I was lucky to grab a table right away after I ordered. The interior is warm and not too cramped even though it's small. It looks like there is a patio that they may open during warmer months but it's closed now (January). I'm not sure if it could be called a 100% pure authentic Italian cafe but there is a bit of Italian influence in the bakery offerings, plus of course they serve gelato. The baked goods all looked so good. The food was very good. I had a salmon & cream cheese croissant sandwich, chocolate lava cake, and a masala chai latte. They were out of the salmon sandwiches in the prepared case but they made one fresh for me which was definitely better. I was expecting maybe some greens or onions or something else on the sandwich but it is really salmon and cream cheese only. I do prefer some vegetable on my sandwiches but I will not rate this on something it wasn't trying to be, and if I just judge it as smoked salmon and cream cheese on a croissant, it was perfect. The croissant was very fresh and had a buttery flavour but wasn't oily to touch. They warmed up the lava cake and it was also amazing, full-bodied but not too sweet. My chai latte was spicy and also not very sweet (which is how I prefer it). Just fyi, there was a single vegan baked good (an orange olive oil cake which looked great) and there are nondairy milks for your drinks, but I did not see anything vegan and savoury on offer. There is a "breakfast sandwich" on the menu which is not described in further detail - it COULD be vegetarian but very likely not. So do not count on a meal here if you are veg.

    Just a 10 minute short walk from commercial and Broadway sky train station…read more I absolutely loved the baguette and croissant. The crust on the baguette was amazing and flavourful. The baguette was full of complex flavours and each bite showed it's true colours Their breads are definitely artisan made The croissant was also amazing with its flakey layers. It was buttery but not overwhelming. The bread pudding was also delicious but not my style. I wish it had a few more apple chunks to every bite, I think that would add some extra freshness to the taste. They also sell a lot of goods in the store like canned fish, jams, and chocolates!

I usually do not complain, however the staff was just chatting with there friends and felt zero respect for customer service.

    This bakery is top tier for the area. It's located on a major intersection but tucked away in a…read moreresidential neighborhood. The place is small, with limited seating. The pastries are delicious and crafted so beautifully. I came here for hot chocolate festival and the flavours were spot on. A tad sweet but it's hot chocolate. I also tried their limited time sticky rice croissant which had all the umami flavours one could want! Texture of the croissant was crunchy, butter and full of flavour. Sadly, the sticky rice texture mixed with croissant was not the best. The service here is great. Staff are friendly. The only downside to this store is the way their line up system works. They have 2 store areas, connected by the till. It's a bit hard to pass through when there are people waiting in line to pay, waiting on line to order, etc. Just a bit of awkward spacing

It's always busy but today it looked quiet at random so stumbled in. So glad i finally decided to. Cozy cute cafe where you can study and bring your labtop/ introvert friendly or quick catchup with the girls / cute coffee date etc ... The cafe is currently participating in the hot chocolate festival too but i ordered a matcha latte along with a cruffin apple cheesecake and ooo it was so delicious and bouncy airy. The center had fresh bits of apple and there was a creamy cream cheese filling and you get this texture that's a combo of crossiant and muffin .. if you love apple or even caramel etc i think it would really suit your pallette. I will order some pastries to go next time when i have more time. Staff is super friendly and patient. They handled the loads of questions i had. Super clean place too. Free parking upfront and there's parking downstairs too.

I was glad to visit on a Sunday morning while taking a walk with my boyfriend in his neighbourhood. When we arrived, it was quite busy. The coffee shop is small, but charming with limited seating available. The menu mainly contains basic coffee shop items as well as a variety of baked goods. We ordered an iced specialty coffee with ice cream and a small latte. I also chose the Tiramisu danish and we nibbled on it while waiting for our coffee. The danish was suggested by the cashier as one of the more popular items. She was completely right, because this baked treat was heavenly. The outside was like a croissant, flakey and buttery and paired with a delicious tiramisu custard on the inside. We also grabbed a scone for our walk home (which turned out to be delicious as well). The shop also sells local artisanal goods such as chocolate, sauces, and even loaves of bread. It's nice to gander around while waiting for your order. We enjoyed our coffee on the walk back home. The coffee is quite strong, which would be optimal for most coffee lovers. The flavour was deep and chocolate-y, but not bitter at all. I read on their site that they regularly rotate their bean selection. I would love to return to try more of their food items!
