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
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 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.
Good service. The pastries taste good. Sitting spaces are limited and most people will hang around for a long time. We went there 11:00 and it’s packed. There is one couple occupying a big table telling others they are expecting more. We ended up sitting at the bar and that’s great. Coffee is standard and nothing special.
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.
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.

This place is always busy, you have to get very lucky to find a seat. But there are a lot of parking spots out side. Food is always good. Coffee is always good. Snacks are always good. 100% recommend
Always wanted to try this place as it's across from kid's hockey rink. Was busy on a weekday morning, lots of seating, cute atmosphere. Latte was yummy and had cool latte art. Salted chocolate chip cookie was delicious, lots of chocolate according to kid. Blueberry scone was delicious too. They had sandwiches from Feast and everything looked good. Staff friendly and quick!
If you want your order to be wrong or done poorly every time.. order here.
I live close by and end up relying on this one before I go on the highway.. and every time I regret it.
Today I ordered a farmers wrap with no packaging, no hash brown, and significantly smaller than any other time I’ve ever got one ever.
They simply don’t care because it’s a gas station and you’re likely on your way somewhere too busy to come back and give them a hard time.
Best timmies is on don mills and Lawrence. Always amazing!

Lovely...absolutely nice and great customer service
My favorite coffee shop in Toronto!!
The staff here are the best.
The Baristas at this location especially Maika and Nathalie are so friendly.

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.
Great coffee and great vibes.
Donuts are very dense/bready/doughy which is not my thing. There's not much else in terms of snacks.

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.
I got a drip coffee and an apple fritter. The coffee was decent. Post-pandemic discovery’s apple fritters were made perfectly but now it’s disgusting. Too sweet, it drips oil, extra deep fried on the edges but too doughy in the middle, and it had only few tinny bits of apples. This was the worse $8.55 I have spent! 🤢
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.
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!
Best coffee in downtown Victoria. From apple fritters to donuts and cappuccino every thing tastes better at discovery cafe. Polite staff and prompt service is an added bonus. Highly recommended.
Very slow service. The owner who also owns the one on Leslie St closer to Finch, doesn’t provide enough staffing at his gas station location. The employees are as frustrated about this as the customers. Cheapens the image of Timmys. I’ll be reporting to head office as well since I feel terrible for the overworked staff running around like chickens.
Great coffee, lovely staff and owner who go out of their way to ensure you get what you want. Highly recommend!
Lovely cozy atmosphere at Vaughan Mills Aroma. Gets too busy sometimes, but that's what you get for being good:)
Courtyard Cafe is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience in a charming atmosphere. It's a place where the food, setting, and service all come together to create a memorable culinary journey
I came here twice this week because I had to do something nearby. The staff are mostly young adults, they are very cheerful, nice and fun! The cafe in general is definitely on the louder side, it has a nice vibe to it but keep this in mind. The place is very clean and has many drink options to choose from. Their menu is very simple to an inexperienced person but they have different flavours of majority of the drinks even though they're not clearly listed.
I'm not a coffee drinker but both drinks i had throughout the week were extraordinary! Earlier this week I tried their Maple Cinnamon Latte which was good but I feel like it had a slight burnt aftertaste to it at the end, today I asked for a recommendation from the staff member and he immediately recommended the Vanilla latte. I was truly amazed by the flavour it was very good, slightly on the sweeter side but it was done very well. Once again, I do not go to cafes and drink coffee regularly so i do not have a comparison point but in my opinion both their drinks and aesthetics are 9.5/10. There are also plenty of seating options. Both days I did some work while enjoying my drink and was not bothered by anyone! The staff is very kind and joyful, definitely brought the holiday spirit with them this week.

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!

Pleasant experience, friendly staff. Offer of choices are limited to pastry.
Friendly but undertrained staff, too many mistakes
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

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.
My favorite coffee in Victoria. Simply delicious. Plus they serve Yonni's donuts and the best morning egg bun!
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.

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.
Lovely little corner cafe that has everything you need for a break! Great coffee! Absolutely lovely treats! Took some home 💕
I’m coffee lover, from my teenage, so it’s more than 25 years, I travel around the world and try a coffee in many countries, this is very good place, espresso is perfect, mocha and cappuccino, that i try, is very tasty too, so I just want to say, Thank you guys, for beautiful morning taste))) For sure with this coffee morning shine brighter 🇺🇦❤️
Though I'm not a coffee person, the atmosphere is somewhat pleasant. There aren't many seats inside but there's always space to sit as the location is not like the downtown one.
Mocha was good and not scorching hot. Remember to ask for a napkin so you don't walk out with coffee/chocolate on your lips. Seems like they forgot to provide one

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.

House down boots smeariod i love this place. Every employee makes yummy lattes and they’re all great. I love to hang out here. There are always really cute dogs outside.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the best spot for espresso beverages, drip coffee, pastries and more in this neighborhood. Go here frequently for iced mocha or lattes to help with recording music for the day.
There is not one shortfall or area of opportunity this facility has. It is as close to flawless as can be. How?
Dan is one of the best small business owners this city has. He treats his employees well and in turn, his employees are always smiling, chill, and exceptional at their craft. The atmosphere is spot on, a beautiful little alcove in this massive city.
In fact, the only area of opportunity is one that is out of their control.
A moderate to large portion of their customer base upon analysis over several months of observation, are mostly spoiled, out of touch, Karen and Kevin like people who believe they own every space,, who do not know how to use words like "excuse me", "please", "thank you", people who bring their screaming children and refuse to deal with it, or have their child run around the coffee shop bothering other customers, and when confronted with their objectively awful behavior and lack of social awareness, their first line of defense is to physically threaten the people or individual bold enough to speak up, even if that person they're threatening is easily capable of decimating their very existence. In other words, customers need to take their heads out of their rear ends and relax. It's just coffee. You'll get your cup.
In conclusion, Wallace Espresso is one of the best at what they do and our family will continue to frequent this establishment for a very, very long time.

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!
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.
Seems you discovered my review. Allow me, dear aficionados of caffeinated delights, to share a tale of my visit to Discovery Coffee in Victoria, BC. As I wandered the concrete jungle in pursuit of a brew to tickle my taste buds, fate guided me to this oasis of liquid magic and culinary wonders.
Upon entering, the aroma of roasted beans welcomed me like a comforting embrace after a long day's journey. My gaze fell upon the menu, and there it was, the sweet siren calling my name: the blended ice mocha. Behold, a concoction of caffeine and frostiness, perfect for a day where the sun had overachieved in its temperature-setting duties.
One sip, and oh, the angels sang a harmonious symphony of joy. The ice mocha danced on my tongue, an intricate tango of espresso and chilled cocoa. It was like a caffeinated hug for my soul, a drinkable masterpiece that had me questioning why I ever dabbled in the realm of non-caffeinated liquids.
But wait, there's more! A chocolate mousse cake thingy of indescribable delight graced my presence. Its name eluded my memory, much like a fleeting dream upon waking, but let me tell you, it was damn good. The layers of chocolatey ecstasy melted in my mouth like a soft symphony of dessert nirvana.
The staff, dear reader, were not mere mortals; they were purveyors of caffeinated cheer and culinary expertise. Their friendly demeanor made me feel like royalty on a coffee pilgrimage, and their recommendations were nothing short of genius.
In a world where every coffee shop claims to be unique, Discovery Coffee truly stands out as a beacon of flavor enlightenment. It was a pit stop, a pause in the hustle, a moment of sheer bliss amidst a demanding day. So, my friends, if you ever find yourself in Victoria, BC, seeking a dose of liquid inspiration and delectable sweetness, Discovery Coffee beckons you with open arms.
Please note: This review is a testament to my own personal encounter with Discovery Coffee's blended ice mocha and the mysterious chocolate delight. Other patrons may embark on different taste adventures altogether.

Amazing drinks, fantastic sandwiches, very kind employee's and short wait for food. Comforting atmosphere, just not much seating inside the cafe.
Love the yonni’s donuts from discovery coffee and today!!! Amazing new donut - the red velvet spectacular. Oh my goodness - so beautiful and balanced. Not sweet but very much a treat. We alway get the vegan apple fritters. Consistent goodness.
Coffee and strawberry rhubarb tart were good. The service was pretty quick too. Comfy seats. Nice atmosphere despite being in a mall .
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.
Got the chocolate cruller which was wheat free - I am not picky when it comes to something I can actually eat, but the inside consistency was a bit strange and almost seemed wet? Anyways, would definitely eat again, just a comment
Also got the golden latte - wish it was a bit spicer

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.
Had time to kill before an appointment in the area. Cute little cafe with sandwiches, cookies, loaves, and pastries. Great selection of alternative milk options as well as vegan eats. Definitely a great place to stop by and grab yourself a small treat!
I am glad to see that Dineen opened up a location just north of the city. It appears there is a lot of foot traffic here already but I was still able to score a seat in the morning. There is also ample parking which makes it very convenient for customers.
The Pain Au Chocolat was pretty average compared to similar spots. The pastry was somewhat deflated and not very flaky giving me the impression it had been made a while ago. The Iced Vanilla Latte was the perfect temperature and not too sweet but the espresso had a really sour and somewhat bitter aftertaste which made it difficult to drink but I am assuming this was a one off given the rave reviews online.
Overall, I like the vibe of this place especially seeing as though I did not have to go all the way downtown. Definitely a cool spot to hang out. The prices are pretty reasonable too. I hope to return one day to give this place another shot.

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.

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 💚

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.
Just a note to the senior management of this place! I have been driving through this Tim every morning for more than a year, unfortunately the staff doesn’t know how to greet and don’t even smile at the customers! Service needs to be improved or else you are just ruining everyone’s morning coffee!
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.

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
Don’t have to go downtown for that great dineen coffee experience anymore!
Super happy this location is uptown and quality is just as expected as you would have had at the downtown location
The espresso is nice and strong but not giving a bitter, espresso bean burnt taste, which is great! The milk was creamy and combined nicely in the latte
Ambience is giving off old school feels from the early 20th century decor of tables and chairs but when you’re ordering, it’s moderned up a bit with the marble counters
Service is always great at dineen and no rush in making a decision of what you want to drink. Definitely a top 5 toronto cafe spot!
Great job overall!

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’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.
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.

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.
Simply the best. Better than all the rest. Each cup is perfect. Each order is consistent. When I’m out of town, I crave Wallace Espresso coffee - and also the delicious chocolate croissants they serve.
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...
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
So these guy treat their job like everyone is on vacation including them. They don't know how to prioritize, and make people wait for long periods of time because their chatting with staff and customers. On top of everything else they decide to do clean while there is a line waiting and they have one person on staff. Complete trash on Sundays espessially.
Great coffee and tea selections. The service is always pleasant and friendly. At the Menzies location in James Bay, there is limited low seating for wheelchairs. Parking is available but nothing is designated as wheelchair parking. There is a level access to the shop but the door is not automatic. One issue is that all the food offerings are overly sweet with glaze and/or icing. If you have a sweet tooth (which I do not!), you'll love it.
I ordered an Americano that was smooth and very well made. The seating is limited, so don’t come here expecting to be guaranteed a spot to sit or to set up shop to do some work. Outdoor seating is also available, even during the winter.
Outstanding food options!
Outstanding staff!
Outstanding experience!!!!!
I eat at Java Joes every lunch hour and I swear it feels as though I eating at a five star gourmet restaurant every time! The food is prepared with love and served with kindness for an all-round beautiful experience. Would recommend to anyone!!!

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.
Stopped in on the way to work this morning, line took a while to move up, but whatever, that is what it is, however, asked for an extra large London fog, got my drink, took a sip when I arrived at work only to find out I was given a hot chocolate instead. Hot chocolate sounds nothing like London fog. Come on Tim Horton's, you can do better.
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.
