I've been to Bud's Coffee Bar throughout the years every time I am in the beaches neighbourhood. I've seen them throughout the years where they went from a small shop with a few seats to only having a take out window during the pandemic. Now they have plenty of seating for guests to enjoy their beverages and pastries. Every time at Bud's the service is friendly and the coffee is great. I usually get a cappuccino or a cortado which is always made at a reasonable time. There are plenty of cozy corners for which you can enjoy your caffeine. Moreover, they also sell pastries as well as coffee beans as well. Great neighbourhood coffee shop that has kept me coming back for years every time I'm in the beaches neighbourhood! Definitely check them out if you have the chance.

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

Dropped by Tori's after a visit to my new favourite shop just a stones throw away. We had some incredibly tasty scones and the coffee was fantastic. Really friendly service and the atmosphere was adorable. We will definitely come back! I HIGHLY recommend visiting the apothecary ROWAN next door if you're in the neighbourhood! Get two birds with one stone, and enjoy a beautiful afternoon on Queen Street enjoying these awesome small businesses! read more

I decided to stop at Mabel's as they are a bakery after all. I asked for a cranberry lemon scone without looking at the sign with the price. It wasn't a big scone. Not at all. Which was fine for me. However, when the cashier rang it in, it was $5.07 with tax. More than $5 for 1 moderately sized scone. And I was prompted for a tip. I understand the pandemic and inflation is hitting small businesses and I sympathize, however, paying more than $5 for one not large scone which only average tasting seemed like a lot. In the future will wait until 8 am and stop at my usual spot.

Food: We got a couple of boxes of macaroons to share with the family & also a slice of the taro cake for me. The macaroons are as good as ever. I like the variety of flavours they have. The taro cake was also really delicious & not too sweet. The box they have for the slice of cake was cute, same for the box for the macaroons. Service: I made the order but the lady at the counter couldn't seem to understand me. I asked for 2 macaroons of each flavour. So she got me one box but then couldn't understand that I wanted another box. It was a little frustrating. Ambiance: It looks like they have refreshed the decor a little bit. There are more small tables with chairs in this bakery. We came only to grab some pastries so I didn't look around that much. In any case, I would come back here again to get pastries.

**Delicious Pastries & a Great Deal!**…read more Bake Code is such a fun place to explore if you love pastries! They have a great variety of baked goods, and their **"Buy 5, Get 1 Free" deal** makes it even more exciting--you not only get a free item but also save on taxes, which makes it well worth it. For our visit, we tried the **viral round croissant** in two flavors: **strawberry** and **pandan coconut**--both were fantastic. We also ordered the **Thai tea croissant** and the **almond croissant**, plus a **fruit tart** and their **cheese bread** to round out our box of six. Everything was fresh and delicious, and I loved that they offer so much more than just croissants. The **swirl croissants** are a little pricier at **$7 each** (about $2 more than most of their other pastries), and we spent **$35 for six items**. Honestly, I thought it was worth it since we got to share and try a little bit of everything. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their selection--highly recommend if you're a pastry lover!

The matcha was more subtle considering the price point around $5, I couldn't complain. I would suggest getting the regular matcha latte instead since the strawberry wasn't that prominent. It wasn't the best matcha I've had but still tasted alright. The pastries look amazing but I decided to come back another time. Will do another review whenever I do try out their pastries.
