What a lovely place to happen upon. My girlfriend just noticed it while we were driving and we…read moredecided to stop by. So happy we did. Really friendly gentleman working behind the counter and what a gorgeous place. I wish I could sit down, read and have a cup of their amazing coffee. We got a latte and a chai latte. Mmmm so good. The coffee was flavourful but not too acidic and the chai was so delightful. They had a ton of great looking treats to try as well. I highly suggest this place if you need a little pick me up. Even the music was great

Plaxton is a little neighborhood coffee shop that's giving Starbucks a run for its money (or trying…read moreto, anyway). I stopped by in a recent visit to Toronto when it made more sense to wait for my wife than to drive back and forth from our hotel in Mississauga amidst... hey did you know that (unscientific as this may be) traffic may actually be worst on weekends than during the week? Reason is that, while many folks commute using public transit, car owners drive to their destinations on weekends. This is a small, sun-shiny kind of space, with Wifi. The front part, especially, is a good place to bask in the rays. They seem to offer a few food choices for breakfast and lunch, but since I was just looking for a place to hang out for 90 minutes, I was going to be "minimal patron". I thought about another coffee, but decided against it, since I already had double the caffeine I usually consume before noon, I opted for the "cheapest" choice, in the form of a Perrier. Cha-ching and "ouch" and $3.74 later (OK it's CAD, but still), I'm left wondering whether I could have made a better choice: as in, a cookie and that bottle of water I had with me?

Love their Basque cheesecake, highly recommended! It's rich and creamy and everything you expected…read more Their mochi rice cake is also good, I love how their food is not too sweet.

Discovered this place during pandemic (before lockdown), thanks to an Instagram giveaway! Never…read moreheard of it before, but came to pick up my prize. The creator/owner, Ella Pang, warmly greeted my mother and I. (She was physically distant and masked.) She carefully let us try every flavour available that day of her infamous Pang's Bean Cakes! But she sells more than cakes (think of moon cakes - dense little cakes made of all sorts of bean), in fact she also makes fresh bean milk daily (think soy milk - but made with different beans: chickpea, red bean and black bean). So we left with a LOT more than expected! Highly recommend the cakes as gift items for older, Asian relatives who are more health conscious or prefer less sweet or savoury desserts. ATMOSPHERE: A cute little coffee shop, located in a strip plaza with ample parking. A bright and open space - too bad you can't dine in right now... Currently only offering take out. And a limited time offer of FREE delivery on orders over $50 - for as far as Mississauga. SERVICE: Fantastic! Ella is super hospitable. Eager to show all her best products. She's very proud of her work, and happy to share. Converse in Mandarin, some Cantonese and English. PRICE: Up to $6 for specialty drinks. Bean cakes start at $9.99 for 6 pieces in a box. The better flavours are $11.99 per box. The gift boxes start from $22.99 - super affordable! FOOD: The shop is best known for their varied bean products. All are healthy, and low in sugar. The flavours are asian - Ella is Chinese and a lot of the items are flavours she grew up with. My mum LOVES the bean cakes, because they are not too sweet and fit her asian palette well also. Our faves include the Black Ginger Turtle Bean Cake, and the Green Pea Cake with Adzuki (aka red bean) Filling! The tastes carry the genuine flavours of the ingredients, and cakes pair very well with tea. We also love their bean milk. Get a cold jug to enjoy for a week or two, or better yet - grab a hot cup to go! So good for winter months. Savoury like soy milk, and filling. Another great item on the menu for cold weather? The veggie soup! PACKED with various vegetables, it's a hearty soup guaranteed to warm and fill you up. In hot weather, grab the refreshing Mojito Slush (virgin) made with fresh basil leaves, lime and club soda. PS. Bean cakes need refrigeration - so if you're traveling far, pack a cooler!

We've been to Kanafani twice now. The cafe has a really nice interior, good music and well lit…read more Feels very much like you've been transported to somewhere else. Parking can be a bit busy but usually okay. The service both times has been patient and kind to explain the various options. We decided to go with a milk cake with half lotus and half Dubai chocolate. The cake is soaking in milk which gives it a "wet cake" texture. I imagine it may not be everyone's favorite texture but has decent flavor. The crunchy topping contrasts against the soft, moist cake. The lotus has that nice cookie flavor and crunch while the Dubai chocolate with pistachio offers that chocolate and nutty flavor. I prefer the latter but both are good. We also got a matcha strawberry latte to go. Both really nice to look at and to drink. The matcha has good flavor without being overly bitter while the strawberry provides that fruity sweetness to the drink. Overall, it's a pricier experience but I enjoyed it and will be back.

Another day orderd from uber eats but mistakenly they didn't provide me the drink but I ordered again the emotional part they sent me a note with two chocolate bars. It touched my heart.

Loved the overall vibe and I'd recommend giving this place a try over all the over hyped cafes downtown.

Even now, I can almost feel it again... as if the memory is softly smiling back at me through every sip and every bite. And I know this for sure... I'll come back again one day, softly and happily, just to relive that comforting taste and let myself enjoy that gentle little moment all over again

Been meaning to try out this Italian cafe after hearing some great things about it. Finally found…read moreit and loved the experience! Staff are very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Expectation wise? Don't expect Michelin star chefs or fancy interiors. It's a very humble setup in a non-traditional office building with staff who go the extra mile to assist customers. My pasta was made on the spot by the same person who took my order and made my espresso. He was a very honest, hard worker who served customers while making the food and drinks from scratch. I watched him meticulously cleaning all the cooking equipment, espresso machine, countertops, surfaces, and cleaning the floors after serving his customers. I was very impressed by his work ethic and dedication. I tried the penne pasta with mushroom and sausage topped with Alfredo sauce. It came with garlic bread and salad. Their number one ordered meal. So good! The penne pasta with rossa sauce (rose sauce) came with chicken and mushrooms. I prefer the Alfredo sauce as it was rich creamy and delicious. However what made my experience a good one was the hospitality and attentiveness of the staff. In today's fast food world, good service warrants a higher star rating!
