Came to do some work at Jilani place and needed a pick me up. Grabbed a matcha latte - so good!!!!…read moreNext time I'll have to try the flavoured ones, I've heard good things about the banana and mango... I also had a tuna melt sandwich ; loved every bite of it. The great thing was I could take my food back to where I was working. The service was good. I did have to wait a little but the place was busy, so that was fine. The cafe is up the elevators. So you'll have to park and actually make your way up there. No problem if you're going to the co-working space but could be a hassle if you are trying to be in and out quick. Though it is a really good cafe that one should try! You can also get a free parking pass so you don't have to pay for parking. Honestly, there was so many other things I wanted to try so next time I'm in Etobicoke, I'll have to do a quick stop. A definite must try place!

Cafe 295 is a great spot if you're looking for a place to work remotely, study, or catch up with…read morefriends. The back room has beautiful views of the city and provides a quiet, comfortable atmosphere that's perfect for getting work done. The quality of the beverages is excellent, and the sandwiches were very fresh and flavorful. I tried the pistachio matcha, which was delicious with a rich pistachio flavor, although I found it a little on the sweet side. The only downside is that the prices are on the higher end, but the quality and atmosphere help make up for it. Tip: Be sure to ask the staff for the code for free parking before you leave. It makes visiting much more convenient.

For a cafe on the second floor, it was spacier than I thought and the ambiance was very nice…read more For the drinks, I got a strawberry matcha and my friend tried the lime fizz matcha. 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.

Was in the area over the weekend and needed an afternoon pick-me-up, so decided to try this place…read moreout. Interior was designed very cute and aesthetically. 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.

Such an aesthetic café with a clean, bright, and cute vibe. The drinks are not only pretty but…read moredelicious too. 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!

Great vegan friendly option, peaceful ambience. Most importantly, unique and tasty dishes.read more

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!

Was in the area yesterday and decided to try out a few items…read more Had we not been to a different café just before where we had a milk-based drink, I definitely would have ordered a latte here. But still ended up ordering a drink since I saw they had Hong Kong Lemon Tea. It was really refreshing! Also ordered a cookie, which had the tea and floral flavour to it. The rice krispie was definitely a bit salty, you could taste the seaweed, and sweet from the marshmallow. Both indoor seating and their back outdoor patio were packed! Will probably go again someday to try some of their popular items like their milk bun sandwiches and mochi cakes.

First visit to Butter & Blue and it's a bit of a mixed bag, but promising…read more The cheddar and chive bun was really good, nice balance of savoury with a slight sweetness. Coffee, though, I'm not sold yet. I had a cortado and the espresso-to-milk ratio felt way off, so hard to judge overall. It also seemed like the barista might've just been having an off day. That said, the vibe is great. Tucked away, cozy, with some hidden outdoor seating too. It's the kind of place you'd come to get work done or catch up with friends. Overall: Strong on atmosphere and food, but I'd need a second visit to properly judge the coffee.

Love everything about this place!…read more Cozy ambiance and located in the popular midland plaza in Scarborough. They have a $12 Vietnamese coffee flight which I think is such a good value for money as you get to choose and try three different coffees. I went for the ube coffee, salted brulee coffee and the spring special vanilla cream coffee. My favourite was the salted brulee followed by ube. So so good and creamy! Perfect balance of caffeine and flavour. I also tried the breadsticks and I think they're really good! Service is also quite fast.

My friend who lives in the area told me about this place. The vibes are great--it's a cozy spot to…read morehang out or get some work done. I ordered the Banana Pandan Matcha, and I was pleasantly surprised that it actually tasted like banana and pandan instead of just being sweet. My husband got the Egg Tiramisu Coffee, and it was so good. Both drinks were beautifully presented too. The service was super fast, and I also love that they open at 8 a.m., which makes it an easy morning coffee stop. They have a points rewards system as well, which is always a nice bonus. Overall, a great little café with tasty drinks, quick service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely coming back to try out other drinks on their menu

Stopped by around 11:30am to grab a drink as it was on my way to somewhere I needed to be…read more Cozy spot that you can tell locals frequent. Very unique in that it's run out of a century house. 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!

Beautiful cozy ambiance with a relaxed seating, designed for long coffee chats. Or a date night…read more Kids and pets friendly!!! You order at the counter and they serve at your table format, cosy menu but each item is carefully crafted and selected, they had huge crofles and slice cakes. Wide range of coffees & teas with a few other drinks. The staff is super friendly & nice. There are 2 hammock chairs, maybe your kids enjoy those. I tired their veggie sandwich, dalgona coffee and tiramisu slice cakes. I will give sandwich & cake 5/5- all good- taste, portion size, presentation. They do better with coffees. Overall, had good evening time with family. Will visit with a girlfriend for some quality time.

4/5 Warm, Cozy…read moreAtmosphere with a Meaningful Story Sukoon Ghar truly lives up to its name. The interior is beautiful, cozy, and inviting, making it a great spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy a calm café experience. The space feels thoughtfully designed and welcoming, perfect for casual conversations or a quiet break. During our visit, we had the chance to meet one of the owners, Kunal, who was incredibly friendly and kind. Hearing the story behind how Sukoon Ghar came to be added a special touch to the experience and showed the genuine passion behind the concept of this café. Food & Drinks: We ordered the Strawberry Iced Matcha, Iced Caramel Macchiato, Veggie Sandwich, and Avocado Toast. The drinks were refreshing and enjoyable, and the food was nicely presented. However, the side salad served with the avocado toast wasn't properly washed, as there was some spoiled spinach mixed in, which should definitely be addressed. One recommendation would be to increase the filling in the sandwiches. Given the price point, the portion of the filling felt a bit light and could offer better value. Overall: Despite a few areas for improvement, Sukoon Ghar is a lovely café with great ambiance, friendly ownership, and a strong concept. With small refinements to food preparation and portioning, it has the potential to be an even better experience. I'd still recommend this place and would return again.
