There was only one worker that catered to the guests in terms of cashing them out and making the food and drinks. She did really well in serving guests in a timely manner. I ordered the truffle avocado grilled cheese and a matcha latte and enjoyed both. They have a variety of food and drink options for you to choose from. I definitely will be coming back to try more of their items! Overall, its a cute small quaint cafe which I would say is a hidden gem!

My new favourite cafe for baked goods. I work in the area,…read moreso I'm always looking for new bakeries and pastries to try, to enjoy with my coffee during my break. Black goat is no stranger to me. I visited this cafe only a handful of times more than 5 years ago, as I was not working in the area yet but would come down for meetings. During this time I distinctly remember they had an Oreo cheesecake cookie that was aaaaamazing. So amazing, I never forgot about it, 5+ years later lol. Well I came back this year, sad to find out they were no longer selling it. So on my first visit, I decided just to get a chocolate chip cookie. To my surprise, I actually really liked it. I'm very picky with my chocolate chip cookies. The bonus was the price point. It was only $2 something for a delicious, generously sized cookie. On one of my most recent visits a conversation was sparked with the owner. I thought it was appropriate as I was in there so often, I should at least learn her name lol. I learned so much from her and all the struggles she faces as a small business during these times of COVID and inflation. The owner is soooo nice and sweet. Okay this review is getting so long lol let me tell you about some of the other treats. Which again, her price points are so refreshing during these expensive times. Banana chocolate chip muffin- I don't like these, but I love them at black goat. The muffin top has the slightest crunch and they use chopped Belgian chocolate instead of chocolate chips. All this makes it's so delicious and so different than any other banana chocolate muffin I've tried. Carrot muffin- again that slight crunch on the muffin top is such a winner. And the muffin is not too sweet, like those store bought one. It tastes fresh, like your actually getting a serving of vegetables lol making you feel even better about eating a muffin. New menu item, croissants - so wonderful! It has the perfect slightly crunchy outer layer while the inside is so soft and all around buttery. AND great news, the Oreo cheesecake cookies are coming back this week!! Back by popular demand, she informed me that these were coming back, as she was rolling out a whole load of new bakery items. (Brownies, hello dolly bars, other cookies) I'm sooooo excited, take all my money! Hot tip: all baked goods are 50% off after 1:30! This place is going to be a problem because I was already here 3 times in one week....even twice in one day. Hahaha. I love supporting local :)

The Sydney Grind is a cozy Australian‑inspired café in Etobicoke, offering great coffee with…read morefriendly staff, and a warm, minimalist space. It focuses on third‑wave coffee, fresh baked goods, and a relaxed community vibe. The café is bright and welcoming, making it a nice spot for a quiet break, a casual meet‑up, or getting a bit of work done. We attended a private coffee tasting event here and it was very well-organized; the owner was very friendly and made sure of everyone enjoying their time.

This was our first time at The Sydney Grind. We found it on Yelp and had to give it a try after all…read morethe great reviews. The barista was very friendly and told us that the cold brew was the fan favourite of the day. I ordered the cold brew with oat milk and my husband ordered the regular cold brew. We also had to order a lamington since as huge fans of Masterchef Australia we had been dying to try one. The coffees were both great! They had great flavour and just the right amount of milk/oat milk. The Lamington was delicious and so light with lots and lots of coconut. We will definitely be back!

We'll definitely come back next time we are in the area.

While waiting for my order at The Empanada Company, I saw Fair Grounds Cafe and it intrigued me. I…read moredecided to drop by a week later, as I was in the area to get more empanadas. I found parking right in front of the cafe. It's diagonal, pull-in street parking. I walked in. It's a push to get through the door. I was immediately greeted by a friendly, accommodating staff member. I wanted a hot chocolate and asked about the four different ounce sizes. He showed me all the paper white cups. I went with the second-largest size. I also asked that I get soy or some non-dairy beverage added to it. Done! I have a weakness for baked goods. This cafe has vegan options, including pumpkin vegan muffins during my visit. Everything looked so goods, from brownies, to cookies. I saw the large cookie jars staring at me. My gosh, each cookie is larger than the palm of my hand and I have big hands! I wanted a s'mores one so badly. You basically take the tongs, grab your cookie, and place it in a paper bag. I got my hot chocolate and cookie that came to $9. It's not cheap, but it's fair trade goods. I expect to pay slightly more. There is a draft in the cafe, so the merchant bill that I had ripped off the machine before getting my bill blew off the counter and onto the floor. I let the man know, which he appreciated. You can pay by cash, and debit and credit cards. I also provided a tip. As usual, it's up to you. It was a bit of a challenge with full hands to get out of the cafe when you need to pull on the door handle to get out. Luckily, I put my hot chocolate on the bar-like table, pulled the door open, used my foot to keep it open, grabbed my drink, and moved quickly through the door. Problem solved! The hot chocolate is dark chocolate. I happen to love it. If you are more of a milk hot chocolate lover, you might find the hot chocolate to be missing sugar and perhaps taste bitter. I loved it. There was probably more soy in my drink than there should have been, but it was perfect for my less sugary needs. The s'mores cookie is extremely yummy! OMG, if I lived in the neighbourhood, I would buy the jar of cookies every day. It was buttery, chocolatey, and marshmallowy (I know, not a word, but whatever) delicious. It paired nicely with my hot chocolate, as it had slightly more sugar. I would come back just for this cookie alone. There were plenty of seats to sit down. If you sit by the bar-like area with stools, you get a nice view of the area. People-watching is casual in this cafe. It has a nice vibe. You can get a number of fair-trade coffee varieties. I am personally not a coffee connoisseur, but I appreciated both the selection and the cause. I like this cafe. I'd come back to give the muffins and more drink items a taste the next time I'm here.

Absolutely loved my experience at Mik Cafe--I'll definitely be coming back!…read more Food: The drink and pastries were delicious! I loved the Lavender Latte and the Blueberry Danish--will definitely be coming back for that combo. I also got the Mocha Latte which was also good! The pastries are made fresh everyday and you could definitely tell Service: Amazing service! The owner and the barista working (apologies, I forgot to get your names) when I arrived were super nice and friendly. Answered all of my questions thoroughly with a friendly smile and interacted with every customer that came after me in the same manner. They were super quick, despite it getting a bit busy at times. Ambiance: Adorable decor with a good amount of seats! There is wifi (if you choose to stay a bit to study or work, which is permitted) and outlets for your convenience. The interior is modern with a lovely red theme--you could tell that the owner loves this cafe! If you're worried about parking, theres plenty of free parking in the back. TLDR: Absolutely loved everything from the friendly owner and barista to the amazing food and drink. Will definitely be coming back to study and sip on a good drink. If you're in the area or live nearby, definitely stop by and say hi! Note: because they just opened a few weeks ago, they're having a promotion every Sunday from 10am - 12pm until the new year (Dec 31) where you can get a free coffee as a little "hello" to the neighbourhood. Additionally, they have a stamp system where if you buy 10 drinks, your 11th is free!

The owner ( Nick) was really nice. We came a bit late around 2:30ish and they still served us and was nice about it. Will definitely come here again and highly recommend this place.

This is the second location of the Brick Room in Toronto. Their first location opened 2 years ago…read morein the path at the entrance to Brookfield place near the go train. This second location is located outside on the beautifully picturesque cobblestone road named Temperance Street. The building is historic and the calm interiors make you feel instantly at home. The staff was really nice and told me about their menu and seasonal items. In addition to coffee and matcha based beverages, the store offers food and merch as well. Apparently this location is a laptop free zone, offering an incredibly welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle of financial district. Today I ordered a cortado. Before you even drink it, the fragrant coffee smell hits you. A bit sweet and almost fruity. When drinking it, the flavours amplify and provide an overall sense of calm, a breath of fresh air. It doesn't just feel like a regular old coffee but that you can take your time with it, like having a conversation with an old friend, it is meant to be savoured. I absolutely plan to go back for one of their seasonal matcha beverages and to get away from it all. 5/5
