    Youknowwhat 5.

    Pleasantly surprised they had liquor on the menu! We were ID'd for our Baileys lattes and told how young we look.. and they laughed at our jokes... you know what 5 stars. @youknowwhat5stars

    Stop early for a delicious latte and almond croissant. Staff was out of this world friendly.. a nice change from Canada's top coffee shop.. you know the one! Latte was was excellent and nice art work to boot....the croissant was smothered in almonds and so fresh with almond paste in the middle... yum yum! Just a cozy independent coffee shop that everything going for it, I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Toronto.

    We came here during the summer and had cappuccino in the patio and remembered it was delicious. (The patio is also super nice! Go ahead and add it to your list!) So we came back last weekend while we were in the neighbourhood to get some more. We were greeted by the most friendly staffs (or maybe it could be the owners). They were so cheerful and nice. My husband also ordered a cookie and he said it was delicious. The cappuccinos were perfect! They also took the time to thanked us for supporting their business. Such a lovely coffee shop. Great experience!

    My new favourite coffee shop! They've got great coffee, fast reliable wifi, they welcome those who want to sit and work all day, they've got baked goodies, ready to go meals (which they warm up in a mini oven for you on request), cold pressed juices made in house, and plenty of seating throughout! Best of all, after 11am, you can get a beer, wine or cocktail to make your workday go a little smoother/quicker - colour me a fan! I got a few items here during my work day and meetings the other day including an American misto, Breakfast Burrito, a Tonica Kombucha and a salted caramel chocolate chip cookie. The americano was fire, so sooo strong, I'm glad I added the milk to misto it because it tamed the flavour down but also made for a really enjoyable but caffeine rich drink! The breakfast burrito, made and wrapped in the fridge but warmed up as mentioned and really delicious with lots of scrambled eggs, beans, cheese. Yum! and the tortilla seemed to be more of a rice paper or puff pastry so it got nice and flaky when toasted. The cookie was the rock star of the day though - holy shit. Two chocolate chip cookies, smushed together around a layer of caramel... ughh drooling drooling.... soaked. I could have eaten a bakers dozen of these and not been ashamed. Before the cooler temps come in, be sure to visit and take your coffee out on their amazing patio. But once the winter starts know that they do regular comedy nights which sound like a lot of fun.

    Krave Coffee has fast became my favorite little indie coffee shop in the neighborhood. Krave Coffee, how much do I adore thee, let me count the ways: 1. You serve kick-ass coffee from known, quality roasters such as Rufino, Sam James and Propeller. 2. You have great sitting area, especially the communal "office" space. 3. You have consistent internet. 4. You have an amazing ambiance, with cool grooves playing. 5. Last, and most importantly, your entire staff (from management to all the baristas) are awesome!

    Krave Coffee on St Clair Avenue is amazing. The baristas are so nice and it's such a cute place. There's a parking lot right outside, so parking is a breeeze. I got the Toasted Marshmallow Latte with Almond milk as a recommended flavor from the barista and it was super good! The regular black pour-over coffees are also really great! They have a plethora of amazing sweets & treats; Molasses cookies are ahhhmazinggg, 10 out of 10 would recommend! Cute outdoor seating area and is thee perfect spot for enjoying the BEAUTIFUL summer weather.

    Cute little coffee shop on st. Claire. They have baked goods that you can have like their cookies but I got a matcha latte on a chilly day like today. Great for getting work done.

    A solid 3.5 stars ... definitely better than the average Toronto coffee place. Along St. Clair, Krave coffee is a nice place to grab a cup of coffee. It has a cute little patio and able clean space inside where you can find a table quite easily. The spot is really well maintained and you don't feel any pretentious service here. The service is friendly and quite affordable. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and dying for a good hit of caffeine, Krave coffee looked like the best option. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted with a smile and I noticed they had Sam James and Sloane tea right behind the barista... that's a very good sign. We quickly ordered a dirty chai latte and a simple drip black coffee. Quick note... they only take cash or debit!! Both drinks easily came up to $7 and wasn't so bad compared to downtown core Toronto. The place had a lot of clean tables and if we werent heading to dinner shortly, it would have been great place to sit and relax. My latte came quickly and hot ... the only reason I can't give this place a 4 star is the flavour. Though the dirty chai wasn't bad... it wasn't great either. It was a generic sweet flavour with no spice ... I was at least expecting a subtle hit of cinnamon. I ended up getting my spice later at Pukka but was still hoping more than a generic sweet vanilla-ish latte here. Overall, cute spot and possibly best spot to sit in on St.Clair but in terms of flavour, other Toronto spots definitely have the 4 star quality.

    Single latte!

    Comfy local coffee shop - Krave serves some great coffee and baked goods. Inside is a brightly lit seating area with lots of natural light with a wonderful smell of coffee and vibe from others. I had a single latte which was quite big and paired it with a blueberry scone. Latte was excellent - strong but not overly roasted with piping hot milk. Scone had a nice crust on outside while soft and butter on inside. I saw others order breakfast sandwiches as well. The place is quite busy on a Sunday morning but had great seats inside and outside. If I lived in the area, I could easily see this as a place you can grab a coffee and sit by the window reading a good book or doing work. Overall - awesome spot!

    I really liked my coffee and they had an amazing selection of baked goods. They have a great outdoor patio, but with limited seating.

    Good drip coffee and great scones. I had the medium roast and the orange chocolate scone. What more can I say? The staff were friendly and courteous. And the decor is lovely. Would come again to catch up with a friend. Lactose-free milk available for those intolerant.

    Looks good to me

    A beautiful, bright and open concept space, complete with a patio overlooking St Clair West. The espresso was fine, but tasted slightly burnt for my taste. Krave did just open so let's give them some time to perfect their brew. The venue itself is worth visiting - its breathtakingly modern and refreshing compared to the otherwise regular-looking cafes on this strip. Free WIFI!

I popped in, sat at the counter, and was greeted immediately by a pleasant woman who took my "to go" order and told me the sandwich would be ready in just a few. While I was waiting, she kindly asked if I needed anything to drink. I declined. Shortly after I took home perhaps the best cubano sandwich I ever had. The warm sandwich had a perfect balance of ingredients. The Cuban bread with a thin crispy crust and soft inside made for a perfect mouth-feel. Absent was globs of mayo and mustard, flavors that often override the real stars of the show, the roast pork and ham. In it's place was a light dressing that complemented the meats perfectly. I've had Cubano sandwichs in Miami and NYC. The Cubano served up at LaCubana is as good, if not better. The only shortcoming: malta (a non- alcoholic malt beverage, popular in Puerto Rico and Cuba) wasn't available.

I got 3 sandwiches for me and my family (4 people including me). What we ordered: Mona Lisa: 8/10 For both of the sandwiches the bread was very fresh and delicious! They make them fresh for each order and you can taste the quality. The flavours in the Mona Lisa worked really well together, I loved the truffle cream and burrata. Torino: 7/10 This sandwich was also good, but the I felt like it was lacking something, especially compared to the mona lisa. The spicy eggplant just tasted like plain pickled eggplant and wasn't that spicy. I feel like both sandwiches were a bit salty due to the prosciutto, and were missing some sweet or acidic element. I added some balsamic glaze and hot honey at home which was great! The portion sizes are HUGE, the 4 of us were quite full after splitting the 3.

Return I did on a recent Saturday and we showed up just as they were opening up for the day, which meant we were able to snag one of the two outdoor tables available. It's a small menu, so ordering the Pastrami sandwich was a no-brainer. We also grabbed a small order of the Coleslaw to try. The food was ready to go within minutes. It's a great sandwich. The meat is super tender and perfectly complemented by the fresh bread and tasty mustard. Do I wish the spicing on the meat were a little more prominent? Yes, definitely, but it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the 'wich. The coleslaw is great, too. I'll surely be returning very soon.

It's a take out deli sandwich shop focusing on quality ingredients with a multitude of sides you can choose from. Other than their sandwiches, you can also purchase deli items like pastrami spice, beef salami, or half sour pickles. I've been waiting for Linny's Luncheonette to open since last year! When I dined at Linny's in Dec 2024, the waiters had hinted that there would be sandwich shop next door. I arrived at Linny's Luncheonette around 11:30am on their opening day (May 9th). The place was busy with customers coming in, however, the service was fast and efficient as chef David Schwartz stood by to make sure everything was running smoothy on the first day. In terms of the decor, think deli retro vibes! The interior is cute with bright orange countertops and a mirror on one side of place to make the space appear bigger. There are a variety of random candies and chips on display you can also purchase. The menu consists of sandwiches - pastrami, potato and pickle and smoked fish, as well as sides (knish, coleslaw, potato salad, karnatzel, cookie). I ordered a pastrami sandwich and a small side of potato salad. My order was made at a reasonable time (less than 5 min) and service was friendly. There isn't any seating inside the restaurant but there are a few chairs outside and 2 small tables. The great thing is that Linny's Luncheonette is located along Ossington so it isn't hard to find a table close by the place. I decided to head to the park to eat my sandwich. Foodwise...the pastrami sandwich was deliciously amazing. I loved the pastrami at Linny's so I knew that Linny's Luncheonette would be the same. The pastrami had the perfect meat to fat ratio...which made it oh so tender and juicy! I am not a huge fan of pastrami to begin with but...I would come back for this sandwich again and again again. Anyways...back to sandwich, the bread held the meat together well where there was a hint of mustard spread as you took each bite. I got sad when I reached my last bite. The potato salad was also great, not too creamy with sizeable chunks of potato. Overall, a great new addition to the Ossington strip! The pastrami sandwich is a must get here!! Can't wait to return for more in the future! (tip - go early as they can sell out)

And it pains me to write this review about the bad quality of their entrees. I've been to Naomi twice. The first time I bought the Salmon bibimbap and the second time I bought the Chicken teriyaki. The pictures looked really really good so I opted for them, but both dishes were disgusting. I was really thrown off by how quickly they were able to prepare both dishes. Under 5 minutes?!?! It seemed almost too good to be true. When I opened the container and took the first bite of the meat, I fully understood why. Naomi uses canned meats. For some people, this is okay, but I really could not stand how "plastic" the chicken felt. The meats weren't even seasoned, rather covered in mediocre sauces. The teriyaki sauce wasn't even teriyaki sauce... it was a transluscent orange with a syrupy consistency. The bibimbap was also poorly done. There was no sunny side up egg, and the only veggies consisted of bland bean sprouts, overcooked carrots, and boiled spinach. Although, the "gochujang" sauce was not bad. However, my friends have all claimed that Naomi's sandwiches are extremely tasty, but after my two bad experiences, I'm probably not going to come back. TLDR: don't get any entrees. Stick with the cafe classics.
