If you are looking for one of the most charming and thoughtfully curated experiences, The Vintage…read moreCat Cafe is a must-visit. We arranged to visit the cats as a treat and enjoyed a superb cup of coffee and lunch today. From the moment we stepped inside, we saw that the café has blended vintage style with modern comfort beautifully, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The cozy décor, soft ambiance, and carefully arranged seating make it easy to relax. Moreover, what makes this café especially unique is its thoughtfully designed, separate cat lounge; it offers a calm, enriching environment for its cats. We were able to completely unwind and appreciated their calming presence as we played with rod toys, introduced tube treats, and relaxed when they napped close to us. It was a happy and soothing experience. The Vintage Cat Café is an ideal spot for a leisurely lunch or a cozy coffee break because the menu complements the relaxed atmosphere. We thought that the culinary offerings were impressive, from expertly crafted coffee to a tantalizing selection of homemade pastries and hearty lunchtime treats, and everything is prepared with care and quality in mind. We recommend the spicy chicken wraps, particularly for guests who appreciate food that combines flavour with a hint of heat; these were delicious. Beyond the décor, the cats, and the food, what truly sets this cafe apart is the welcoming, knowledgeable staff who are enthusiastic about exceptional service and animal welfare. We found that their dedication is evident in every interaction with their customers, and this contributes to an experience that feels genuine and heartfelt. The Vintage Cat Cafe is more than just a café; you leave feeling genuinely uplifted, and whether you stop by for the coffee, homemade treats, charming vintage ambiance, or the one-of-a-kind cat lounge, you will have an unforgettable experience. We were planning our next visit before we even walked out the door.

We realized we were running late for our appointment so my friend called and luckily the owner…read moreallowed us to come at the next slot as it was not busy. When we got there, we immediate were ushered to the back of the cafe where the cats were. We went at around 4-5pm and the staff told us that usually at this time the cats would be sleeping so we could not really play with them but just watch them sleep haha. Near the end of the hour, some of them did wake up and so we did get to spend some time with them. We wish we knew beforehand so we could get our money's worth. As for the cafe itself, it was beyond gorgeous. Everything was photogenic, even their washroom! I got the caramel macchiato and it was delicious and I like that it was included with the price of playing with the cats. Sad thing I realized was that I think I am mildly allergic to cats :( but highly recommend for cat lovers!!

The idea is that you can book time with the puppies and help socialize them, giving them treats, petting them and taking pictures, etc. First thing that came to mind was downward dog with a puppy, hmmmmm. The dogs are part of a collab with a breeder where the puppies get to have some fun with guests here while the people get to smile and enjoy their company. The cafe is a work in progress where there will be coffees available at the front so you can enjoy their vibe without having to book a session and enjoy a latte while doing so. Big white fluffy dogs are definitely not available at Starbucks so this place should be a hit with dog-crazy Toronto!

In addition to serving coffee and tea, it's also a concept store that curates a collection of unique and local items for its patrons, such as plants, candles, gifts and baby clothes. With something for everyone, it's easy to walk in and purchase more than a just a coffee (also great to support a local business!) As for the drinks, expect the standard complement of espresso drinks, plus chai and matcha lattes and loose leaf teas. Beans are supplied by Toronto-based De Mello Coffee and baked goods are made locally, too. Although the shop is quiet, the service is friendlier than most coffee shops in the city, which I always appreciate. Those are the little things that make me want to return.

My niece and I had a ton of fun together. It exceeded my expectations. My niece loves unicorns and…read morethe place had it everywhere. She got to pick the booth she wanted and there's even a chair for that picture perfect moment. There are unicorn onesies for adults but I didn't try it on. I did buy her a unicorn headband from the restaurant which we took turns wearing (I'm living out my dream too). They sell unicorn Fanny packs (which I wish I saw earlier-- we'll get matching ones next time), purses, popsicle molds, etc. We ordered: - rainbow grilled cheese (amazing length when pulling- mozzarella) - strawberry milkshake (plenty to share, cotton candy unicorn hair, cupcake to hold the marshmallow horn, marshmallow ears, etc). Adorable and she loved the taste. - crispy fries with a soft inside. It's like Costco fries but more crispy on the outside. It was a hit for us. Housemade ketchup or not your typical Heinz ketchup which I appreciated. - flying magic noodle (typical noodles but it had that wow factor for my niece. The noodles were tender which makes it easier for her to chew. My only suggestion is more noodles so there's more magic in the bowl as my kids don't often eat their veggies). - I did grab a banh mi takeout but it wasn't very authentic as expected. Just wanted to try my luck! In terms of how we order, we scan the QR code that's linked with our table. We look at the menu and choose our quantity/selections. Then they bring the food to your table. You pay at the end. Food came out in about 20 mins. Overall-- 10/10 "best day ever" from my adorable niece. The joy from her face made this visit priceless. I'd come again!!!!

However, I thought the instruction we received was rushed; the way our instructor was speaking was monotonous, as if they instructed the same class 100 times prior. Several times throughout the class, the instructor tried to upsell us (eg "healing crystals"), which I was not a fan of, considering what we already paid for the class. The class lasted an hour; you can select your scent, vessel, and name of the candle. We paid $250 for a couple, plus tip for the Glowness Experience, which is their more premium class. Based on the instruction we received, and the quality of the class, I think this is a bit over priced.

It's a beautiful, large space mainly for playing board games. And you have to go upstairs to second floor and then to the back area to order. My only complaint was the bento deals are for takeout only. But I'm coming back for sure!
