I went to Afterthoughts for the first time when Cora's became so busy, that I would have to wait an…read morehour or more for a table. The Afterthoughts is a pretty good café to go to. This café has a good selection of coffee concoctions and desserts, including keto and gluten free alternatives. I ordered the Keto Strawberry Cheesecake it was creamy and tasty. I also had the Gluten-Free Pecan Tart that I found was more enjoyable. The cappuccino was very solid and found no problems with the drink. The establishment has a nice traditional aesthetic to it with mild lighting. Afterthoughts is a great place to have a caffeinated drink and snack. It would be great if this place had a menu for of full meals.

I wanted to go to Zilla's Donuts for a while to try some real pastries…read more When I got there, the establishment was pretty calm and quiet coming in. They have specialty coffees, such as lattes and caramel macchiatos. When I ordered their Drip Coffee, the staff member prepared it fresh and upon request with the option of cream and/or sugar. The coffee was near perfection in taste. I also ordered the following pastries: Red Velvet Cake, Nutella Doughnut, Sugar Stuffed Heart Cookie and the Chai Latte Doughnut. The red velvet cake is very delicious with fondant being incredibly flavorful. The cookie was okay if not a little hard with the cream filling being pretty good. The Nutella doughnut tasted great while the Chai Latte Doughnut had good subtle flavours and not being too overly sweet. I enjoyed their doughnuts so much that I bought some of the ones I have yet to try to go. The young woman working at Zilla's was very nice and professional with her work. I hope to come back to this place again soon and try more different Doughnut creations.

Awesome ice cream here! We had the flight of four scoops so we could try multiple flavors. We went…read morefor the strawberry mojito (my favorite of the four), ginger peach, apple cinnamon with oats, and matcha. When you order a flight of four you also get some yummy waffle cone pieces. Matcha was very flavorful, the ginger peach was gingery but didn't taste too peachy- though there were definitely peach bits in there. Apple cinnamon was our second favorite. We also had the affogato over the 'sweet cream' flavored ice cream. A perfect end to an evening. The ice creams are all made here with cream from a local dairy. Highly recommended!

The first time I went to Amarti Café was during the Oscar Watch Party on a Sunday, when any other…read moretime the business would be closed. I really enjoyed my time there and got to socialize with some of the guests that came. I even had the opportunity to try the café's drinks and desserts. When I came as an Oscar party guest, I was given a Charcutier plate and a glass of wine when I gave them my ticket. They were a great appetizer. As for their menu choices I had the Salted Vanilla Bean Latte. The drink was fantastic and did not need any added sugar for taste. I also had their Cortado, and I found it strong yet flavourful. I had their Cookies'n'Cream cake, which I found very rich yet enjoyable throughout eating it. The interior of the cafe is very modern-looking with a lot of space. I like the mild lighting inside the business and the fact that they use garden lights and antiquated furniture adds some hospitable quality to it. The staff were very courteous when I was there, even when they were busy hosting the party. Overall, this is an excellent café to go to frequent at and would very much like to stop there again.

The baked items are good depending on your preferred flavours (I.e. my husband didn't like the ham and cheese croissant because it had mustard ‍, but loved the other breakfast sandwich) I would have loved to try some of their coffee/matcha milkshakes! (Yes you read that right.. MILKSHAKES). The baristas were super friendly, and they measure out their coffee for their drinks so you know it's going to taste the same each time. The inside is VERY spacious, with lots of seating. The patio was lovely, however the seats were not very comfy and there was no garbage/recycling out there. YES, I would recommend this place. Will I travel the 10-15 min from my parents house to get coffee again? Probably not... ‍
