    Udon Carbonara, Pork Katsu sandwich, and Hojicha Latte
    Vivian Y.

    I came across this cafe literally while in the street car I was in passed by it, and immediately wanted to try it out, since I didn't know where to go for lunch with my friend. Best impulse decision LOL; I loved the udon carbonara I had gotten; the sauce was a bit more on the creamier side, but the flavor was perfectly balanced. The Hojicha latte I had gotten was suuper good, and if you like your lattes sweet, you'll def enjoy this.

    Service is great at this small restaurant on College street. They take reservations only during the week. I ordered the chicken Katsu sandwich, which is massive! I had enough for lunch and dinner. The seasoning on the fries is wonderful. The accompanying salad was delicious. Their latte comes with nice art on top. It's a Japanese fusion brunch and it's very tasty!

    Came here as a group of 2 on a weekend at around 11am and was lucky enough to be seated right away! My friend and I got the karaage and waffles and salmon eggs Benny to share. We also got a matcha latte and hojicha latte for our drinks. Out of the two entrees, my favorite was the karaage and waffles. The karaage was big and juicy and the waffles were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The salmon eggs Benny was good too but I just thought it was on the more simple side and the karaage and waffles was more special. Both of the drinks were also great and they definitely did not skimp on their matcha and hojicha powder! Highly recommend this place! The space is quite small though so if you have a big group, make sure you come early!

    I had their chicken katsu and it was DELICOUS! Great portion of the sandwich itself and the fries. The sandwich had such a thick cut of the katsu, perhaps even thicker than the bread holding it. The slaw was delicious with the shredded carrots. The fries were stringy and crispy, my ideal way of enjoying french fries. The salad was equally as good. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and can easily say that this is one of my top brunch places. I wish this place was opened till later though haha :D

    Came here on a weekend morning for brunch and we each ordered the chicken katsu sando. The sando came with a side of fries. It was a generous portion! Ended up saving half to take home. Got the matcha ube latte which unfortunately didn't taste that great. Would come back to try the other items on the menu though.

    After an attempt to eat at a nearby restaurant was foiled, we found ourselves in search of a new brunch spot. We happened upon Ohiru Cafe and somehow managed to snag one of the last free tables (by the window no less!) The menu was full of intriguing items but I eventually opted for the Chicken Katsu Sando ("Crispy Chicken Cutlet, Scallion Aioli, Cabbage Slaw"), as I've always enjoyed that dish and was interested to see how it would translate to sandwich form. Pretty well, it turns out. Although I can't say it reminded me much of a traditional chicken katsu dish, I quite enjoyed this concoction. The fried chicken, while a little too crispy, was prepared well and the aioli gave it a good amount of flavor. The soft, tasty bread perfectly tied the whole thing together, and the included fries and salad made for a perfect complement. Ohiru Cafe is a very cute little spot that I'm sure I'll return to, since their menu contained a bunch of other promising-sounding items.

    I've had brunch at Ohiru a few times now, and it's always such a solid experience. Cozy space, warm service, and consistently good. Everything feels fresh, balanced, and well made. A great go-to spot for Japanese inspired brunch on College.

    Pretty disappointed by our service experience here today. We were all so excited to try the food and after we got seated we noticed two tables that were seated after us got their drinks before we even placed our order. Once we did place our order our drinks took another 30 minutes while the tables around us got their food. The carbonara was so unbelievably bland. I would have returned it but we were hungry and had been waiting for close to an hour for our food at this point. Thankfully not everything was a bust. The karage and waffles was really good. The miso syrup was excellent and the karage was crispy and cooked really well. My matcha latte arrived toward the end of the meal and was excellent.

    visited toronto and this place is probably one for the books! it's a cute lil japanese brunch cafe that serves the most delicious food and beverages! during this visit, i tried their karaage & waffles, okinawa brown sugar matcha latte, and maple miso hojicha latte. the karaage was cooked to the perfect crispiness, the waffles were nice and fluffy, and the provided miso syrup was sweet with a subtle miso taste! both the drinks i tried were also delicious! the matcha latte has a strong matcha taste and the hojicha latte was a combination that i never wouldve thought worked together!

    One of my favourite brunch spots in Toronto. It's Japanese fusion and they do it so well. The food is always delicious and flavourful. I love their hojicha latte and it's made perfectly. A few other highlights are: - creamy udon - chicken waffle - chashu benny The restaurant is small and there's not much space to wait. On weekends it can get really busy and wait can be up to 30 min to an hour. They don't take reservations either.

    Finally made it to this café I'd been wanting to check out for a while, and there were a few surprises! First, it was smaller than I expected. Second, the food was better than I anticipated. I went with the new Manchi Katsu Sando and a Matcha Kyoto Soy Latte. The sando portions were great, the bread was excellent, and the fries were a pleasant surprise--super tasty! My only gripe was the "cutlet," which turned out to be a ground meat patty rather than an actual cutlet. If I'd known, I probably would've tried one of the other two cutlet options. The matcha drink was decent, and I got to sample the karaage and mushroom pasta--both seemed pretty solid. Our server was awesome! He even mentioned that if we tagged the café in a photo, they'd comp a dessert for us. We went with a lemon/blueberry cheesecake (I think?). It wasn't totally my thing, but hey, free dessert is free dessert, right? I had my eye on the French toast, but by the end, I was way too full. Guess I'll have to save that for next time!

    Really nice brunch spot! The food was amazing and the portions were huge. You have to get the katsu sandwich, there was so much chicken. I love that the bread was buttered, the chicken was crispy yet juicy and it came with a bit of a kick form the sauce. The fires were also very well season and had some seaweed flavoring to it which was good. The carbonara udon was also cooked very well, the pork was season nicely. The sauce was really creamy. The drinks were got were also very tasty, we got the Kyoto matcha latte (cold only) and Hojicha latte. The cafe is very very small and they don't allow reservations on the weekends so wait times can be very long. As it is first come first serve, we waited around 40 minutes but the people ahead of us waited an hour before they got seated. Service was pretty good and our food came out quickly. There was a bit of miscommunication on drinks but other than that we really enjoyed it.

    Chicken katsu sando

    Will definitely be coming back here! The servers were all very nice & friendly! The chicken katsu sando was awesome and topped with what tasted like a yuzu mayonnaise. Absolutely delicious! As the weather was still nice outside, we sat on the patio right on college st which was perfectly shaded for the meal.

    A great little brunch spot, very attentive friendly staff. The salmon Benedict hit the spot, the potatoes and salad on side was great.

    Still one of my favourite coffee shops in Toronto. They have a new matcha line so I got the matcha…read morecoconut smoothie and it did not disappoint. Matcha flavour and coconut were strong. Still one of my favourite places to do some computer work. Wifi can be a bit spotty at time, but I still like to work here offline for the vibes. Staff are all super friendly and the service has gotten faster over time.

    Somehow did not try the Viet coffee here (it was early evening and thought coffee would not be…read moreideal). It's really close to this shop I grab my glass from (you should also check them out, they're the best) so I would most likely stop by here again. I ended up trying their matcha coconut drink because of the promotion they had (buy one get one free, it was a good deal). The drink itself was refreshing, creamy, and had a nice balance between the earthy matcha and the sweetness from the coconut. It did feel lighter than expected, maybe because of the coconut base. The atmosphere also stands out, it has that nostalgic vibe that people seem to associate with the brand. The drinks are a little pricey without the promotion, and the sweetness might be a bit much depending on what you order (it was a tad bit sweet). But overall, I'd come back to explore more of the menu.

    Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab…read morea hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family
