    Flat white was not great
    Soleil S.

    Chill and cool spot to sit down for your coffee. It's only open during the weekdays near Liberty Village so no hopes of getting that coffee during on a Saturday. I was finally able to try this spot after seeing it on several coffee spot lists for Toronto. It has a hipster industrial vibe and lots of tables for your to sit down to work. When I went it was a light crowd so there was more than enough tables for a few lap tops. The noise wasn't too much so it isn't a distracting spot. In addition to their coffee, they had Glory Hole donuts, some packaged salads, and a decent amount of baked goods. I did spy PB so for those who are having nut allergies, unfortunately you probably need to head somewhere else for a snack. Service here is friendly and plentiful. There was at least 4 people behind the counter on a random late Thursday afternoon. Usually I only spy one or two at most in other places so this was a pleasant change. Flat White with almond milk - Though it was made quickly, I probably wouldn't have mind if the barista spent a few more minutes on it. I'm not sure what happened but this was not a good drink. When it was handed to me, it was just warm and by the time I walked to my car just parked outside on the street on a summer day, I could have chugged it if I wanted to. Also, there was way too much overfrothed foam that looks more like a Starbucks cappuccino. The flavour was unfortunate as well... diluted heavily by too much milk. It was closer to a latte... I think it could have been decent. From what I tasted, the beans lean towards a nuttier note but I really can't tell cause it was so watered down. 3/5 For Liberty Village, there's a vacancy of any good coffee spot... Starbucks definitely doesn't count. Sadly Louie Craft doesn't quite get the drinks either to make this one a spot to come back. It's sad to say head to over to Ossington for a good cup but it's the only one nearby.

    A much needed coffee spot, let me rephrase that, proper coffee house in this area of king street west. Walking in definitely blares an indie feel with its logo prominent on the wall and cute little idioms on napkins but especially above the door. 'this is a coffee shop.' Pretty funny. Great to see the line ups of folks waiting for their order. It's unsuspecting sign and mini sandwich board might make you think people haven't discovered this little gem. Worthwhile place to visit. They use social coffee for their brews. Solid latte and an assortment of treats to choose from.

    This is a trendy place. There are many young crowds and this seems to be very popular place in local. Small coffee is $2.00. It is okay. I can work there for a while. Staff are pleasant and kind not super friendly. Many people are relaxing and chatting. Even though there are people with laptops, it is more socializing place than working place. They have baked goods and these are typical items for coffee shop. It is a standard non franchize coffee place.

    Louie - Toronto. Great tea lattes. Pastries and coffee not so good, it was kind of acid.

    Excellent coffee with the accuracy and perfection of a great barista. The pastries are excellent from the brownies, cookies and carrot cake. For lunch they have a series of fresh baguettes with different fillings. Cool atmosphere and free WiFi.

    Louie Craft Coffee is a quaint little gem on the outskirts of Liberty Village/Parkdale and it is one of the nicest coffee shops around!!! With a nice, warm decor + a fantastic layout, his place is sure to be a success for many years to come!! They have such a warm, friendly staff on board, and I always leave here with a smile on my face to start my day! :) Opt for ANY java-based drink of choice, and make sure to pair it with any of the mouth-watering desserts or sandwiches available (I usually go for the Brie and Walnut sandwich w/ balsamic and the iced carrot cake for good measure!) Louie easily has my vote for BEST coffee place in Liberty Village!

    I found the espresso bitter. They did have almond and coconut mil though which is a plus. I also enjoyed the strawberry scone I had. Didn't have to wait long either for the drinks to be made.

    This is a neat little coffee shop in the carpet district, literally right beside the shoeless Joe's, this place used to be a hair salon Called Redd, it is now the home to this neat indy coffee shop called Louie, named after one of the owners's dog. Jo, one of the owners, boasts years of experience in the bean and tea industry, yet still has the passion of a green bean. What's super cool is that most of the store's renovation, including the long wooden bench with gas pipe stand just outside the stores east walls, are all hand made, mostly by Jo's father.

    Amazing drinks amazing service! BEST PLAYLIST love the atmosphere. coming back soon even though my friends and i live far -The girls who kept taking selfies

    Flat white is pretty

    Very authentic flat white here, friendly staff, comfy environment. It is a small gem on King St west, I was here only for a while but already liked it here. Free wifi available and just enjoy the coffee time for a little bit leisure

The entrance is two sets of doors so no draft when people come in and out! They have a very extensive cocktail and wine menu. There are also plates du jour (an entree and dessert). I ordered the duck confit over crispy rice and orange sauce. My companions ordered the chicken with maitake mushrooms and the burger. We shared the crème brûlée and basque cheesecake. I really enjoyed my dish! The duck was cooked perfectly. Duck was moist and flavorful. The crispy rice gave it a nice texture and helped make it a more filling dish. The orange sauce is a classic pairing with duck. The basque cheesecake has some delicious cherries! But the cheesecake itself was a little more burnt than I personally prefer. The crème brûlée had a very thick caramelized layer on top. But the creme was smooth and sweet. It'd be a great spot for a date night. But those with sensitive ears should proceed with caution. For three people I think it was about $135 CAD maybe $160 CAD after tax and tip.

For me, atmosphere and ambiance are just as important as the food and drinks, so I was more than a little disappointed when we were shown to a small table right by the door. We were so close to the door, in fact, that I found myself making awkward eye contact with everyone that walked in. Far worse, our table was about six inches away from the table next to ours, which made private conversation impossible and essentially killed anything resembling an intimate vibe. Thankfully the food and drinks made up for the lackluster atmosphere. I started with one of their martinis and it was absolutely fantastic. If there's a better martini anywhere in the city, I'd be surprised. The food was just as good. We started with their delicious bread and delectable butter, and followed that up with the above-average French Onion Soup. The Bitter Greens Salad managed the impossible: it made radicchio delicious. And finally, the Steak Frites ended the meal on an absolutely jaw-dropping note. I can't remember when (or even if) I've ever had steak this flavorful and this tender. Absolutely incredible. Aside from the far-from-romantic feel, I very much enjoyed my meal at Milou. Maybe we'll return someday and I'll request a more intimate table.

For the dessert, I could not appreciate the durian taste but the cheesecake itself wasn't too sweet and quite rich. I think we maybe came here on an off-day and would come by to try it again. The actual store is quite pretty and I love how they decorated everything Vietnam-themed. There is one washroom as well.
