Found this cozy Italian cafe overlooking Toogood Pond while exploring Main Street Unionville :) We had the Cuore Panini, Soup of the Day with Sourdough bread, Apricot Croissant, Hot Apple Cider, and a Camomile Tea The 'bread' for panini sandwich was actually a pizza dough; it was a very tasty dough! We also loved how hearty and loaded the soup was with beans, veggies, and sausages!

Love this!

I stumble upon this italian cafe gem the other day, and I absolutely love it. This place used to sell burgers and hot dogs near Toogood pond in Unionville. If you happen to be taking a stroll by Toogood pond, please stop by this place for a quick pit stop and enjoy some of their yummy pastries. I didn't get a chance to try the coffee/latte today as it was already in the late afternoon. But their pastry is so flaky and so good! The staff is so friendly, chatting with me and letting me know how long they have been opened for etc. I love the environment and the location, you get a nice little view of the pond in unionville. Would definitely come back to check out their brunch menu.

La Fonte is a hidden gem tucked by the Too Good Pond--part bakery, part café, part pizzeria, and completely delightful. The space is small, cozy, and romantic, with a beautiful view of the water. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret worth sharing. If you're grabbing a coffee or a cannoli, outdoor seating is your best bet (and honestly the best option on a sunny day). But if you're there for the pizza--and you should be--make a reservation and dine in. The pizza looked next-level, and we're already planning to come back just for that. Perfect date spot material: sip something good, share a bite, and take a peaceful stroll around the pond afterward. Maybe even wander into the nearby boutique shops in Unionville. In short: take your wife. Thank me later.

A cute, quaint lunch spot right beside Toogood Pond. I think it's been open for quite a few months now but I didn't hear much traction about it until I saw a recommendation on Tiktok. It's really close to me so I said I have to go! We went here on a rainy day (unfortunate, because I wanted to see the beautiful views of the pond) and sat down shortly after lunch menu started at noon. There are not a lot of seats so be sure to come early or be prepared to wait (they do not have reservations), but I think this will be less of a problem when summer begins and patio seating opens up. The menu has an assortment of pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and soups. We got the following to try: - Rapini and Sausage Pizza: This was delicious. The rapini was slightly charred, the cheese was ooey gooey goodness, and the sausage was very flavourful, a little spicy. Dare I say this was better than the pizza I had in Rome? Very impressed. 9/10 - Soup of the Day: We got this with the sourdough bread (which was perfectly toasted and not too chewy, just how I like it). The soup had spicy sausage, some potatoes and vegetables. A nice addition to the rainy weather outside. 8/10 The price is a little bit steep (more on par with downtown Toronto restaurants) but I still think it is very worth it. Service was excellent and quick. They also have a cute pantry where you can buy some pastas and tomato sauce to support small businesses (I found it a little funny since none of the menu items were pasta - maybe soon?). Definitely worth a try if you are here on a nice summer day and walking along Main St Unionville!

Carpaccio with burrata ....always one of my favourite salads!

Located next to the pond in Main Street Unionville this place is so unassuming. Honestly looks like you're going to dine in a public bathroom but when you walk around the corner you are presented with the CUTEST restaurant wtih patio seating outside and a few hightops inside. Love it! Authentic Italian coffee (I had 2) Delicious desserts (had some to go) pizzas / pastas / paninis or sandwiches...to die for. Love this place! And the service staff arrival soooooo friendly! LOVE IT!

Fantastico! Popped into this new waterfront Italian cafe at Toogood Pond one weekend afternoon, and we had a marvellous dining experience. La Fonte offers a gorgeous view of the calm pond waters, authentic pizza, and irresistible Italian pastries. Service was very friendly, and the pizza was incredible! The dough was thin but still held its integrity, and it had such a wonderful chewiness to it. The vegan Italian almond cookies were also a hit. Note that there is limited indoor seating, but why not order a pizza to go and enjoy an outdoor picnic around Toogood Pond?

Came here on a quiet weekday afternoon. A small little cafe…read moreat the start of unionville where you can catch up with a friend or get some work done! The worker was friendly, approachable and was able to explain highlight recommended menu items. Ordered the pistachio latte which was pleasant, not so sweet and yummy! Cozy, cute, but limited seating space. Would recommend if you're working alone or with one other person. Not enough space for big groups. But I also did notice they had an outdoor patio seating area as well! So perhaps a great patio day!

They have a sign outside promoting the first 3 customers get dessert/bagel/croissant, but don't honour it. I was first in the store, not because I was trying to get the promo, but the lady behind me came actively trying to get the promo. Instead of the items promised, and only after asking, they reluctantly handed us panda keychains. The lady asked again for the promo after she got her order and they told her that they weren't giving the food items because keychains are more useful. She then asked them to remove the sign for false advertising, they (angrily) said they would, yet the sign continues to be outside half an hour later. You really shouldn't be making promises you can't keep, and getting upset at your customers for it. Please consider removing this false advertising sign and just letting your cafe and food speak for itself. If it wasn't for this, this cafe would be 4 or 5 stars, but the fake promo and dishonesty has really soured my experience here.

Outside the cafe I see a group of Italian's in their 40's to 50's having a passionate discussion. You can hear curse words and their outdoor voices were definitely being utilized. But turns out they were just having a casual discussion. I walk inside and see more people of the same age playing cards and enjoying some coffee. There is only about 3-4 tables upon entrance and a few bar stools. Towards the back of the cafe there are many more tables BUT there is a large sign above the entrance that says "Members Only." - I wonder to myself, how I can become a member. I order up a cappuccino for $3.50 - The gentleman behind the counter made it right in front of me and it looked like it was done to perfection. He scooped up some foam into my cup and poured the rest of the cappuccino. Then I was asked if I wanted sugar, chocolate powder and cinnamon powder. I said, sure why not. The drink was scolding hot and I burned my tongue. It was served in a small styrofoam cup and I took it to go as there were no more seats available in the non-members area. Don't be deterred by the styrofoam cup. The cappuccino was excellent and I wish it came in a larger size. I would put this cappuccino up against any of the chained coffee joints any day of the week. The place may sound intimidating but its a great place for a caffeinated drink. I did not see any food or snack items so if your hungry then this is not the place for you.

He made the Java. He talked me into getting an espresso instead of coffee. The rest is history. This *was* my secret espresso place, until Chris told the Yelp world about its existence. Frankly, does the old man look like he needs more money? No. He looks like he freaking owns the building, and is just killing time here with his old friends. And keep an eye on an Italian young lad who sits there often. And serve the occasional lost souls who wander through his door. P.S. I often wonder what goes down in the nice seating room in the back. Take a peek.

A true coffee bar. Plenty of cafés make that claim, but Behind the Alley actually delivers. Here,…read morethe baristas are more like mixologists, swapping alcoholic sedatives for caffeine stimulants and treating every drink like a carefully crafted cocktail. I was greeted immediately upon arriving and, after struggling to decide because every section of the menu sounded interesting, was recommended their Orange Coffee. It was excellent. The preparation alone was worth watching. Fresh orange slices were coated in brown sugar and caramelized with a torch. A sprig of rosemary was then lightly torched, releasing its oils and filling the room with fragrant herbal aromas. The orange was placed into the glass before what i think was San Pellegrino Aranciata was poured over it. Finally, an Americano was carefully layered on top, keeping the two liquids beautifully separated, and the drink was finished with the rosemary garnish. I was told not to stir it, but instead to enjoy it from the bottom up. The first sip is light, sweet, and gently fizzy before giving way to the rich, earthy bitterness of the coffee. It's a combination that sounds unusual but works remarkably well. The service was five-star from start to finish, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it an easy place to linger over a thoughtfully crafted cup. This coffee shop is the perfect complement to picturesque Unionville.

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!
