With the high traffic in the area, I hope that it gets the volume it so eagerly needs to he successful. We came to have a perk and to try a few offerings. I had a peek at the menu and noticed several options, including everything from grilled cheese to milk tea, ice cream to cakes provided by La Rocha. We tried a mint chocolate chip ice cream for around $4.50 and a pecan butter tart for about $4.99. I would recommended trying to list the prices as it seemed a bit steep, but then quality was good and everything looked fresh and tasty. Next time, would love to try the coffee and a biscotti. The gentleman (not sure if the owner) was very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, a family seemed to leave as we were aching out. I hope this was not because it was taking too long as it was relatively quick. Another recommendation is to perhaps have a back up for breaks and if there is a line to avoid possible walk outs. Overall, a cool spot to hang out and a nice independent! All the best of luck! -Zuk

Another Asian Fusion brunch place. This one has been around for a while…read more The interior is a decent size and tables are packed closely together. When we arrived it was busy and there was one table open near the entrance and were told we could have that table once it had been cleared. There person who seats you also takes your order, brings your order to the table and clears the table. There was another person preparing drinks and we only saw him come out from behind the counter when there were no drink orders. It took a while for her to clear our table. At one point she stood behind the counter with a look on her face that could be best described as '...what do I do first..' What was ordered: Kale Caesar Salad - fresh croutons with generous bits of bacon; very lightly dressed Chicken and Waffles - 2 drumsticks and a breast served with 4 pieces of waffle and a small side salad Shrimp Eggs Benny - 2 deep fried shrimp patties; served with baby potatoes and a side salad The chicken was very crispy and still juicy but based on the colour of the fry the oil needs to be changed. It came with 2 small containers of syrup (not real maple syrup) and some that looked like plum sauce. The potatoes on the eggs Benny were good but when you deep fry the shrimp patty you wonder what other filler there might be in the patties. Service was decent despite the fact that there was one person who served and cleaned. An okay experience....not sure it warrants another return.

However, their food is so amazing I'm sure everyone who has been there will have become a regular. So far we've had the chicken - tenders, sandwiches and with waffles - and the baklava, and everything has been absolutely delicious. The chicken is tender and juicy, the batter is tasty, the sides are well prepared, the portions are plentiful, the price is very reasonable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. A wonderful addition to a pretty great menu of restaurants and cafes in Port Perry. All we need now is an excellent Roti Shop!

Lyla's House located along Bloor St. W. near Kennedy Ave in the Bloor West Village neighbourhood is…read morea new cafe (closest subway station is Runnymede station). Their first location is actually in Georgetown where this second location is their first in Toronto. I've been looking forward to them opening ever since I found out a few months ago on Instagram. They recently opened this particular location where they are open from 8am to 4pm most days (closed on Sunday and Monday). On the menu, there are espresso based drinks, teas/lattes (London Fog, chai latte, matcha latte), as well as other non-caffeine options (hot chocolate, Italian sodas, lemonade). They also have breakfast options (bagels, granola), lunch items (a list of sandwiches as well as salads) as well as a display full of pastries for you to choose from. I stopped by Lyla's House on a Friday afternoon to grab a coffee. The space is pretty big where there are tables for you to enjoy your items. They also have a comfy couch as well as seating in the front of the space as well. Along with their drinks, breakfast and lunch offerings, there is also a retail wall filled with bottles of wine, bagels, coffee beans (from Detour), as well as their branded merch. Ordering at the counter I scanned the many pastries on display. My eyes locked with the last remaining butter tart and I knew I had to get it. I opted to also get a cortado. My order was made at a reasonable time and I sat down near the window to enjoy my coffee and butter tart. The coffee was made well, delicious! The butter tart was pretty big as well and I enjoyed the sweet treat. The service of the place is friendly and chill. The vibes are relaxing and calming, like you're at someone's house. Overall, a great new addition to the area for coffee, pastries, breakfast and lunch!

There is free visitor parking in the building but you just have to let them know you're here for Vanta. I tried their bestseller/one of their most popular drinks, which is the iced military matcha but I preferred their strawberry matcha! I also tried their raspberry lemonade which to my surprise tasted more like a mocktail made with sparkling water and I didn't really find the "lemonade" taste there, so it wasn't what I expected. It was still good regardless. Staff was very nice. I found the iced Toronto Fog okay. I also tried some of their pastries and really enjoyed that crunch and freshness of their almond croissant. I love that they've got both a selection of sweet and savoury items to choose from, as well as lots of options to go. The sundried tomato savoury makes a great treat and you can ask them to warm it for you. I love the design and space, and although it's got limited seating (which makes sense since it's in a corporate building and I find most people just come to grab and go), I really enjoyed this place and would come back if I'm ever in the area.

Such a hidden gem in the area! Absolutely loved this cafe…read more It quietly sits inside the Mentes building and serves some of the best coffee and matcha in the area. I tried their strawberry iced matcha and the military iced latte and trust me when I say the military latte was the best drink I have had in a very long time. The coffee was smooth and rich yet it wasn't too sugary which was perfect! And the matcha? 10/10. Again, not overly sweet and you can taste the matcha in it. You can sit and work here as well which is an added plus!

They have an extensive menu, and it all looks really good! We got the Chicken Karaage and Croffles, which really hit the spot if you like sweet and savory food! The Karaage was really well done and complimented the croffles. We also got the creme brulee souffle pancakes, which were well done! However, I do wish there was more of a caramelized top for the creme brulee. In hindsight I do wish I got a more interesting flavor like Ube or Pistachio since they have a good selection of flavors, but the creme brulee was still pretty tasty! I'd say order another flavor instead though. The souffle pancakes also take 20min to prepare which took longer than their other dishes, but as long as you're sharing plates and can eat something else until it comes then it's all good! Staff was really nice and attentive. Definitely coming back and trying more of their menu!

CAFE N ONE . …read more Cafe n One is probably one of my favourite "new" restaurants that I tried recently. Located on the 2nd floor at Yonge and Finch, Cafe n One is a bright, cute cafe serving Japanese inspired brunch items, drinks, pastas and desserts. . . Classic Breakfast 4/5 Chicken Karaage 3/5 Croffles 5/5 Green Tea Soufflé Pancake 4.3/5 Latte 4.8/5 . . We arrived around 10 minutes after open and there were already a handful of people seated. The drinks and food came out pretty quickly except the soufflé pancakes which takes 25minutes to prepare. My favourite was the croffle. For $10, you get 2 big pieces of croffle which tastes great with either whipped cream or syrup. The chicken karaage was kind of dry on its own, but dipping it in the syrup and eating it with the croffle made it better. If you want a hearty breakfast, the classic breakfast is a solid choice. The soufflé pancake was fluffy and delicious, well worth the wait. I was amazed by the detailed latte art as well. Highly recommend this cafe!
