A Raspberry Mocha from @halecoffee
A unique blend of Raspberry and chocolate that tastes so familiar and delicious. We also tried their freshly baked sourdough and it is just perfection.
You must check out this coffee spot in Toronto which has a chill California vibe to it located in a Clock Factory Building.

First time going here and was pleased when a friend suggested meeting here. Love everything about this place, the space, venue, staff. I also love that it's kinda tucked away. Will definitely be coming back
it’s kinda hard to notice when driving by, but incredibly cute and cozy inside. the hot chocolate was delicious and the latte as well. staff was kind and you can tell they take pride in their work by how clean the space is, and how they put effort into each drink.
My recent visit to Cocoon was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was friendly. I particularly enjoyed the latte, which was well-made and delicious. However, I did find that my large latte was served in a juice glass, which I thought was a bit unusual. It would have been nicer to have it served in a mug or a cafe coffee cup.
Additionally, parking might be an issue, but there are spots available in a small street mall just over the other side of the street, which is convenient.
I also tried the blueberry scone, which was just alright. Despite this, the owner was exceptionally nice, offering great hospitality throughout my visit. Overall, Cocoon is a lovely cafe with a few minor drawbacks, earning it a solid 4-star rating.

This coffee shop has one of a kind atmosphere…and being so close to downtown with this huge space! Loved the variety of beans they have as well as the inside of the coffee shop itself; the coffee was ok…maybe next time will try a different roast.
Highly recommended for its atmosphere and quite a hidden gem in Toronto!

The ideal eatery for the location. The menu, though staples of meals , is great. Unique approach to food that deserves a bit of flair, gratci!
The latte was made from a automatic dispenser, the same one that you would get at the super 8 breakfast buffet. I got a wrap, 6/10, a croissant, 6/10 and a latte ,1/10, for 25$
The food quality is the worst among all the tim over the world and the service provded by the all the staff's including the manager are providing the worst service I have received ever in my life. It has the worst atmosphere and its one of the worst place I have visited in my life.
One of the best coffee shops in the neighborhood. I recommend the coconut milk latte and the drip coffee. You can sit and hang out while you work or share with a friend.
Slowest employees of tim hortons work on there. I remained in the queue for 15 to 20 mins just to order there not for only day but everydays now a days during the evening time.
A small cafe with a Korean vibe. Immediately after entering we have reached the counter with the owner/barista who is friendly and informative. The high ceiling and large windows does make the place seem spacious. Definitely feel that I can sit here for an extended time.
The food and coffee is rather meh unfortunately. We ordered a flat white , cappuccino, scone and banana bread. The milk from the flat white tasted a bit burnt and the cappuccino was rather weak. The banana bread texture is nicely spongy however it could with more banana flavor. The scone is enjoyable. Light, lemony with a touch of coconut.

Cute shop. Very friendly owners and great customer service. Cortado too milky. Pass for the coffee for me unless you like lattes and cappuccinos. Downside is the parking/ access. Fine if you're on foot.
Great food and coffee. Friendly staff!
Spacious space and lots of tables. Music is a bit distracting. Im not sure how ppl bring laptops and work for more than one hour lol i couldnt stay more than an hour max lol
Great place to hangout ;)

Accessible location. But lineups can be long all the way up to Sheppard av.
Lines can be made better so that the road is not blocked.
Service can have some improvement with more welcoming attitude in the drive thru.
Inside store service is better.

Nice atmosphere and a great place to catch-up. When compared to other coffee shops/bakeries in the neighbourhood, it’s expensive. That said, it shouldn’t be a surprise when you step in and look around. Good luck to the owners, they’re trying something different.
I recently visited Tim Hortons and unfortunately had a disheartening experience with their customer service. The staff exhibited an arrogant attitude, making my visit less than enjoyable. I hope Tim Hortons can address and improve upon such instances to ensure a more positive experience for customers in the future.
Today I buyed one extra large French vanilla, the quantity which they given was low ,why they doing this to customers. There is a mark in the cup but they gave me less than that ,it would be large size in extra large cup.I was in a hurry that's why I didn't discuss with them about this,never do this ,it's cheating.
Lovely cafe with a great ambiance. It's more spacious than it seems from the outdoors. It has a range of seating types, from comfy low chairs to bar stools to regular tables and chairs. I had a wonderful hot chocolate that was the perfect amount of sweetness. The best, however, was a BLT on sourdough bread that was fresh and delicious. I think a garlic mayo was what gave it that special something. I think it was the best BLT I've ever had. Also nice that it's a kid and stroller-friendly space.
Selection of baked goods... amazing choices!!
Friendly staff. Great seating. Chill vibe.
Delicious teas!
Great price point!
Highly recommend for people looking to recharge and enjoy!

I ordered Triple triple this morning and I realized Tim Hortons is the perfect place to go if you're looking for a cup of hot coffee served cold. The staff is always happy to serve you with a frown and make you feel like you're bothering them. They're so good at it that you'll feel like you're in a different dimension where the customer is always wrong.
The coffee is so cold that you'll need a jacket to drink it. It's like they're trying to make iced coffee but forgot to add the ice. The only thing that's hot about their coffee is their bad customer service. It's so bad that you'll feel like you're in a comedy show.
You'll laugh so hard that you'll forget that you're drinking cold coffee. If you're looking for a good laugh and cold coffee, Tim Hortons is the place to
go.

Going to this place is like coming to Canada and expecting a warm weather, the only difference is that even in Canada you get sunny days in Summer but at this place you don't get a hot coffee even if you are ordering one.
You might get a very hot spill if you are sharing the feedback with the manager over there.

"Visiting this Tim Hortons has unfortunately been a consistently disappointing experience for me. The staff members often exhibit an attitude that goes beyond what one would expect in a service industry. It feels as if they believe they are doing customers a favor rather than providing the service paid for.
In multiple instances, I've encountered issues that reflect a lack of training or perhaps an oversight in customer service:
On one occasion, I was double-charged for my order. Despite bringing this to the attention of the staff, I found that they were not well-versed in the process of issuing refunds for such errors.
Another incident involved a staff member taking my order incorrectly. When I tried to rectify the mistake before it became a larger issue, I was met with rudeness. This same attitude extended to interactions regarding my points card, where I placed my phone in front of the scanner, expecting the staff member to ensure it was properly processed. Instead, there was a dismissive response, adding to the overall negative experience.
These experiences have left me disappointed and frustrated. I believe it's essential for the staff to undergo further training in customer service and error resolution to enhance the overall quality of service at this Tim Hortons location."

This cafe at Vaughan Mills Mall is my go-to for a delightful coffee experience every time! The hazelnut latte and cappuccino never disappoint, with their delightful aroma. The complimentary chocolates are a pleasant treat – delicious and satisfying. Overall, it's a delightful spot for coffee lovers!
If you prefer a not so sweet coffee then this cafe is for you! My go to order is Iced Vanilla latte. I just wished I could taste the vanilla more since I prefer it to be on the sweeter side.
We were lucky enough to stumble on this little gem of a restaurant during our getaway to Blue Mountain. We parked the car to go to a neighboring restaurant but saw how lovely Tremont was and had to check out the menu. The service was spectacular— everyone was warm and inviting. It’s usually hard to find a restaurant that has excellent options for plant based (me) and omnivores (husband). The hen of the woods was a truly memorable dish— so well thought out. I’m still thinking about it a week later. The meal was so special that it’s worth building a weekend trip around! We will certainly be back.
Excellent coffee!
Barista did an amazing job!
They need to clean the outside sitting area the tables were dirty.

Lovely cozy atmosphere at Vaughan Mills Aroma. Gets too busy sometimes, but that's what you get for being good:)

Great place to spend some time we had coffee & pestatiue croissant it was so fresh and delicious. The staff are so polite and friendly. We enjoyed our time. The prices are fair for the service you get.
Thanks to illy and Staff.

A very famous Italian cafe, this time to buy Nutella Christmas cookies to give to my friends. The staff are very friendly!
I asked for a Lavender latte, good luck to find the lavender taste or even just some good coffee taste. This is just some hot water with a bit of coffee powder mixed with some milk.
Plus, I talked with one of the waitresses about it but she did nothing.
There is another coffee on the same road : lovely products, lovely woman. Don't make the same mistakes as me.

Worst service I’ve ever seen.
My friend ordered a soup and they said it would be awhile but we were going to sit and do work so it was fine.
20 minutes go by and my friend walked to the counter and saw her tray was there and the workers looked at her and didn’t say anything so she sat down again to wait.
Then another 20 minutes go by and my friend went up again and asked how much longer for the soup and they said “oh we don’t have that soup”.
They let us wait for 40 minutes, saw the tray, saw us waiting, and didn’t think to let us know they didn’t have the item we ordered.
They were on their phone almost the whole time too.
Won’t be returning!

The milk in my latte was almost burnt and I could not taste the coffee
The western omelette on a bagel was quite small and the bagel itself was stale
I’d just go to the McDonalds across the street to be honest

First time trying and i was surprised how good the coffee tastes. Always saw this illy brand around but never really attracted me to try but my friends decided to go to this place and really good choice! The coffee was better than i expected and they so many different flavours of donuts from other place. It is worth a try
Agree with a few reviews below that their coffee is just mediocre. Not sure what beans were used this past weekend but barely had any coffee taste. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but tables need to be cleaned/wiped more often.
Lots of space, pretty decor, nice location and quiet atmosphere. Aroma has good coffee and this location makes it all the more worth it.
I loveeee this café so much. Always a go to stop when I’m at Yorkdale mall. Last time I had the Bueno donut and it was super good! Always so much to choose from and never disappoints. I also recommend the birthday cake macaroon! First time trying it here and I’m definitely getting it back next time.
Coffee more on the dark roasted side, not my favorite kind, but the owners are such nice people and the atmosphere was great. The macrons were cute and delicious. Would stop by again when in the neighborhood.
Pricey sandwiches but yummy. Great coffee, nice interior.
Okay study spot. Seating area is good but the smell of food is medium strong which might be annoying if you're sitting there to study for long hours. Prices are reasonable and there's quite a variety of everything. Doesn't have too many plugs if you're looking into plugging your laptop.
Also the internet is spotty some days. I had trouble with meetings specially.

Cute and cozy, this cafe has a limited selection, but they definitely practice "quality over quantity". The owners are super nice, and the chill music adds to the atmosphere.
So Aroma is incredibly expensive and if I’m going to pay this much you better be better than Starbucks. I’ve tried to give this location a chance and it’s the only cafe in the area for all these business. No other way of putting it, it’s trash. Attitude from staff. Coffee comes warm not hot. Sandwich, I could have done better at home. I ordered a sandwich and actually reassembled it myself because of how poorly it was constructed.
Illy cafe offers you a quiet and private place to sit down and have a chat in the busy Yorkdale mall. their cappuccino and caremello latte are pretty good. Their pastries and desserts are nice too. The price range is reasonable and the service is friendly.
I came here yeaterday around 10:30am with my parents.
The young woman serving us was very polite and patient. We ordered a Nanaimo Bar, and macarons: salted caramel, apple crumble, birthday cake and one that tasted like peach. All the macaroons were tasted and fresh. Plus only $2.95 each.
There's also seating if you want to sit and enjoy your food.
I would definitely buy macarons again from Illy Cafe!

Great service and food! Atmosphere was wonderful. We had a great time. The duck , eggplant and falafel were amazing!
3.5 / 5. I’ve been here a few times, and comparing to Bathurst location I go to.
Great patio and open concept. The problem here is two things:
1) food quality and execution
2) culture and experience
I attached a pic of a sorry excuse for a $10 half sandwich. The chicken was rubber and a half breast, and it took 14 mins to make. The cream container was almost empty, but had the smear of dried cream down the lip. There a lack of passion or something in this location.
Culture wise, the place is always extra warm - all summer no air conditioning, they have no recycling option at all, and the packaging just feels off. If you told me they were managed by the same person (Bathurst and Consumers), I’d think they were different restaurants.
I would be hard pressed to go back to this one.

Wow! This place is amazing! Such a welcoming space with so much to offer! Grabbed a delicious latte with a cute artsy tree made out of the foam! Alana and her staff made this place really shine! We will be return customers for years to come! Don’t forget to check out the book selection and wonderful home goods! Tons to offer! Impressed!
My wife & I stopped in at Beauregard Commons this morning and what a wonderful atmosphere! Alana and her staff made it a perfect morning for us! Thank you so much!
This restaurant was absolutely top-notch. We went for an anniversary that was immediately acknowledged by our waiter Rob. He was lovely to talk to and very knowledgeable about the menu. He chose a perfect bottle of wine to pair with the food. The food was innovative and creative. The hen of the woods, sweet potato gnocchi, lobster and shrimp and seared tuna were to die for. Truly excellent chefs. The atmosphere was a perfect backdrop to the service and food. Cocktails & Martinis were also fabulous. I am a restaurant GM in Toronto and this was truly one of the best dinners I have had in years. Thank you Rob & Tremont Team :)
Fabulous dinner last night! We started with their special bruschetta and sweet potato gnocchi, then we had the steak frites and hen of the woods(a variety of tasty mushrooms). The Manhattan was amazing! We’ll definitely be back! Our waitress was very friendly!
Good atmosphere, only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that they were heavily pushing cows milk by giving away free lattes. Their coffee is a bit bitter and was so incredibly hot I feel like they burned it a bit. Only comes in one size as well and for $2.80 it's a bit steep for what's a small coffee. Breakfast sandwich was super good
We went to the cafe for a quick bite and were looking forward to recommendations from locals for places to visit in Victoria. Jerson truly has impeccable customer service skills, and we got all that we expected. Delectable pastries, refreshing drinks and a bunch of ideas.
Cappuccino and Hazelnut Latte were delicious. Shakshuka with smoked salmon add on and the Classic Breakfast were delicious. Highly recommend if you want dine in option for breakfast vs takeout. Very nice hip vibe, more like a breakfast boutique spot with upscale Mediterranean vibe and really cute decor like petite chandeliers and hanging plants. Nice environment for dine in breakfast if your not looking for fast food drive thru. And it’s in the mall!
Absolutely adore coming to this place to study! Every single time I come here, I’m rewarded with great service and a amazing selection of drinks and pastries. My favourite drink is definitely the matcha latte, they make it very well!
There’s a decent amount of seating here with outlets throughout. If you’re coming here to work, as long as you have a seat you will certainly have an outlet. There is parking available nearby as well but this place is also accessible by bus.

Near Bloor this local coffee roaster and shop is a hidden gem for coffee lovers. With a cozy ambiance (with long communal tables where you can work and even bring your own desktop) and a dedication to crafting the perfect cup of joe, it has become one of my favourite coffee locations in town. The expertly sourced and locally roasted beans ensure a rich and flavorful experience. The friendly staff's knowledge and passion for coffee create a welcoming environment. For an exceptional coffee experience that stands out from the chain shops, this local roaster is a must-visit.
Amazing drinks, fantastic sandwiches, very kind employee's and short wait for food. Comforting atmosphere, just not much seating inside the cafe.
Coffee and strawberry rhubarb tart were good. The service was pretty quick too. Comfy seats. Nice atmosphere despite being in a mall .
Delightful coffee and bake shop. Friendly staff. Yummy baked goods! Great cozy atmosphere too. However, I ordered an Americano which was tasteless. The staff added a shot of espresso but it wasn’t much better.
Spacious and roomy space with nice decor. Great vibe for working for a couple hours but I found Coffee is just a little short of what I like. Cortado milk was a bit runny, under desired temperature, plus music is a bit loud and distracting. Big plus is that they're a Roaster and also make fresh bakery items daily.
Loved the chicken sandwich and vegan sandwich. Specially the freshness of bread. If I had the option of adding green pepper, onions, egg and garlic to my sandwich that would be great, I know I’m asking too much. Just fantasizing
Creemore has many dining options for you to indulge in, and Creemore Bakery is one of those hot spots.
From the sidewalk patio to the staff, especially the sandwich I had FANTASTIC!!

This is a nice spot for groups or coming alone for a morning/afternoon coffee and treats. They have multiple long vertical tables (community Style Seatings) that are suitable for business meetings or friends gatherings. You can also bring your laptop, monitor(s) and keyboard here with you and work from the café.
Such a cute cozy little place with fresh in house pastries and sandwiches. Many choices of the and coffee. The nicest and friendliest young lady helped us. Was very impressed with the whole experience.
My friend and I came to Creemore today to see the sights and decided we would do the carrot cake challenge. There is another bakery down the road that boasts the "best carrot cake ever" so we bought a slice from there and here. This bakery said that their's was the "real best cake ever" and I have to agree. While the other was good, this was better! I promised a Google review if they won. Will definitely be back for another slice and the great iced coffee!
Everything was on point. I never expected such a great fine dining experience in the blue mountain area.
Btw. Street parking is free on weekends. I’m glad we asked our host about it.
The duck confit was just extraordinarily done. Tastes amazing. Every item we ordered was great. This includes the steak frites, falafel, I got a salad forgot which one, the toffee dessert and baklava.
Our server was an older gentleman, very charming and was attentive. Got us complimentary sparkling wine for my bday dinner, it’s a nice touch :) cherry on top of you will!

Aroma Espresso is one of my favorite coffee chains, and their iced matcha latte is a must-try for any matcha lover. This drink is a refreshing and delicious alternative to traditional coffee beverages, and it's perfect for a hot summer day or anytime you're in the mood for something cool and refreshing.
The first thing that struck me about Aroma Espresso's iced matcha latte was the vibrant green color of the drink. It's clear that they use high-quality matcha powder, which gives the drink a rich and earthy flavor. The matcha flavor is prominent, but not overwhelming, which is perfect for those who are new to matcha or who prefer a milder flavor.
One thing I really appreciated about Aroma Espresso's iced matcha latte is that it's not too sweet. The sweetness level is just right, which allows the matcha flavor to shine through. The drink is sweetened with a touch of simple syrup, which is just enough to balance out the bitterness of the matcha.
The texture of the drink is also worth mentioning. Aroma Espresso uses a milk frother to mix the matcha powder and milk together, which gives the drink a smooth and creamy texture. The milk is cold, which makes the drink incredibly refreshing and perfect for hot summer days.
The presentation of the drink is also noteworthy. Aroma Espresso serves their iced matcha latte in a clear plastic cup, which showcases the beautiful green color of the drink. The cup is also topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of matcha powder, which adds a nice touch of sweetness and presentation to the drink.
Overall, I would highly recommend Aroma Espresso's iced matcha latte to anyone who loves matcha or who is looking for a refreshing and delicious alternative to traditional coffee beverages. The drink is well-balanced, not too sweet, and has a smooth and creamy texture that is sure to please. It's also worth mentioning that Aroma Espresso is committed to sustainability and uses biodegradable and compostable cups, lids, and straws, which is always a plus in my book.
The only reason I'm giving this drink four stars instead of five is because of the price. Aroma Espresso's iced matcha latte is definitely on the expensive side, and it's not something that I would want to splurge on every day. However, for an occasional treat or when I'm in the mood for something special, it's definitely worth it.

Wonderful service and coffee!
Still going super hard on COVID restrictions, so masks are required when not sitting at your table which are provided at the front service desk. The entire premise is wheelchair accessible with very well stocked clean bathrooms and it's really nice to just be in a huge space with solid tables. (Especially after all the rickety tiny spaces that are typical in the neighborhood.)
Off the beaten path which is refreshing too.
Definitely recommend once the air conditioner is put on 💚
Still going super hard on COVID restrictions, so masks are required when not sitting at your table which are provided at the front service desk. The entire premise is wheelchair accessible with very well stocked clean bathrooms and it's really nice to just be in a huge space with solid tables. (Especially after all the rickety tiny spaces that are typical in the neighborhood.)

Had a fantastic time here, both the dining experience and the food were wonderful. The staff was magnificent, with Melinda going out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of after a slight miscommunication. Thoroughly enjoyed the dinner
A pretty nice place to have a cup of coffee in busy Yorkdale shopping mall. They have a big and open sitting area on dining floor. Coffee tastes great. I ordered Cappuccino Viennese and a tiramisu cup. They have a lot of choices for drink, breakfast and dessert. However i feel the dessert is over price and they don’t taste that good. Would only recommend their drink. Service is fast!
Order was screwed up multiple times and the staff was beyond rude. Coffee they made was basically water. Grilled cheese (for almost $8) looks like it been to hell and back, looks like it’s missing half a sandwich. 2 stars for the fact that I got the refund, would have been 1.
I needed a coffee place to kill some time as I waited for someone. Walked here with my baby stroller and we were nearly the only customers. The service was great, and the matcha latte was one of the best I've ever had.
As the outdoor staircase in front leads to the entrance, if you're a wheelchair user or have a stroller or otherwise can't use the stairs, you have to go through the lobby, go to the elevator, go to P1 (I had to ask a staff member which level it was as there wasn't a sign), take the left corner door, go through the heavy wood door which isn't automatic and would be difficult to open with a wheelchair, and you'll find the Cafe.
Because most customers grab and go back to their hotel rooms, this is a lovely quiet Cafe if you're looking for some peace and quiet steps away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It was pricey - $16 for a latte and chia/fruit cup, but I feel like it is probably comparable to other coffee shops right now.

Great service with delicious food, we ordered vegan smashed chickpea salad, spiced beet latte and turmeric latte, all were very unique and tasty.
Inside Vaughan Mills had tasty, aromatic rich in flavour cappuccino, best part of my meal, not so much with little taste of an all day breakfast, seemed like a kids meal very small portion , the whole wheat toast made up for it, two thick slices
Pizza divine, the coffee, sublime.
The food here is great at this fine spot to dine.
With vibes off the chart, and an owner with heart,
this cafe stands apart, at the top of my chart!
So go stand in line, please give it a try,
I promise you'll wish sooner you'd come by!
5 stars.

Good quality, staff member very polite and very fast at delivering the food and drinks. Their cheese steak sandwich is really good also their coffee. If you are lactose intolerant they have a wide variety of options for milk. The vibes are very chill and cozy for work, having a small meeting or just a date.
I would give more stars if I could. Everything about the evening here was perfect. In my original online reservation, I mentioned it was our babymoon. In my experience, restaurants don't often pay any attention to these comments, but contrary to that, we were brought complimentary drinks upon arrival. All staff we encounter were warm and friendly, and we were offered a lovely table off to the side away from the main dining area. Food came exceptionally quickly, and tasted amazing. Decor was classy and comfortable. I would 100% return and recommend to friends and family
Thank you to the staff for making it a wonderful evening

My husband and I LOVE this cafe! Great vibes and kind staff. The baked goods are delicious, as well as the coffee. Our favorite sandwich is the vegetarian one...very flavourful (good bread!). Very healthy salads too. Favorite spot to hang out for hours. :) Thanks so much for being there!
I’ve always enjoyed Aroma Cafes and so was looking forward to trying this location for the first time. Was not disappointed!
We ordered: Aroma Hash with Mango & Kale Smoothie and Aroma Power Breakfast with Ice Aroma. My husband and I found everything to be delicious!
For the hash, I would have to say the sweetness of the maple syrup can get a bit overwhelming at times. But it helped having a drink to help wash and clean the palette.
The service here was great and they actually recommended the drink to me. The setting is lovely - even the little patio they have set up. The tables and area were all clean and neat as well.
It is quite pricey, but I’d say it’s worth it for what you get. Our order also comes at this price cause we were looking for a full lunch, instead of a light meal. I believe you can dine here for much less if you’re just looking for a small bite.
Overall would recommend this location and cafe! Great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

The cafe space is HUGE. The staffs are friendly and the empanada was great!
Love that they are participating in creating sustainable environment, by using metal straws!

Good sandwiches and I loved their house blend coffee.
Beautiful space! Free wifi and conveniently located! Delicious coffee. The prices are on the higher end. The matcha latte I ordered was $6.05 with tax. It’s a small size. The drink it’s self, nothing special, powder and milk. I wouldn’t order it again, I’d stick to the coffee here, it is delicious.
Decided to stop by after visiting Purple Hill Lavender Farm, it added to the amazing experience of the trip!
Sandwiches & Lattes were amazing! And the ambiance is fantastic.

It’s not located in one of the main streets so you might think you’re lost when you’re looking for it but don’t let that stop you, I know I’m glad I gave this place a try. The barista (the owner?) is professional and friendly, the interior design looks pretty cool, and their iced latte is amazing.
Two things though, I wish they had more options in terms of pastries and they used those lids that don’t require a straw.

In town for the day to do some exploring.
Great spot for a drink and a treat. There are so many delicious desserts to choose from. They all look amazing I wanted to buy one of each!
The staff are also super friendly and helpful. It was a warm day and we had dinner reservations before leaving Creemore so we were concerned about leaving the lemon meringue in the car since it should be refrigerated. The staff offered to hold our purchase for us so we could come back and pick it up before our dinner. It was so kind of them to offer. On top of it, even though our dinner reservations was at 4:30pm which is after the bakery is closed, they still said it was no problem because they would still be on site cleaning and to just knock on the door and they would bring our items out. Talk about amazing customer service! Thank you so much for making our day in Creemore that much more memorable and enjoyable! 🥰
The tarts we bought were also soo good. The shortbread crust on both the meringue and the pecan tart is so yummy. It was nice to try a different take on a pecan tart with the bourbon flavour. We will definitely make it a point to stop in again the next time we are even remotely close to Creemore. Would highly recommend this bakery.

Really enjoyed their food. Drinks were good but the breakfast items were great. Drinks prices are higher compared to the food prices. We had breakfast at a reasonable price. Fresh and delicious. Their salad and dressing were remarkable. Beautiful and clean place. Friendly staff. They have lemon cold water and glasses available for the customers. They have patios as well. Washroom available. They’ll also give you a chocolate on the side. I forgot to take its photo. Only complaint is that the tables are very small. All the tables are of same size even for a four people setting. It was difficult to keep our food and drinks on that small table. Parking can be difficult at this location. Limited paid Road parking is available.
Nice coffee shop with friendly stuff. Probably was super busy before the pandemic. Now is almost empty during the lunch time. Let's try to support them and go out more...
What a pleasant surprise in Brentwood Bay! Food and bake goods are incredibly fresh and tasty! You can tell the ingredients are locally sources and homemade. Staff are super friendly. So happy we were able to stop by here.
Very good coffee. Hazelnut vanilla is top quality. Great service. Asian woman seems very friendly. Will return when I'm back in this neck of the woods. -Million Dollar Strip GM

I was getting some bagel there for the first time and asking a few basic questions. But the asian lady serving at the back was not happy answering my questions, it was so apparent from her body language. Also there was absolutely no smile at all, as if she is not happy doing her job. I would definetly recommend improving the service from the back end of it. The Lady at the front was amazing as always.
Great homemade muffins and wraps. Could use a little better drink selection.
Fantastic little cafe with fresh bagels baked in-house, great breakfast/lunch options & a relaxed atmosphere. In lobby of office building, expect morning/lunch rush. My BLT w/ avacado was fabulous, coffee was fresh!
Love this place. It has such great dishes that are so tasty as healthy. Food is always fresh, consistent, delicious, healthy and filling.Staff is good. Food is AMAZING! I
Super Clean and Great food at a great price!Their menu offered a diverse selection of dishes which is what appealed. Everything tasted perfect.The service is always excellent and the food is consistently well-prepared and very tasty.
