Very cute coffee shop for chilling or studying/working. Has a great seating area which makes it great for sitting for long hours. It's located in a historic building so it has a cute vintage vibe. It's hands down the nicest Balzac's location in Toronto.
As with all Balzac's, the drinks are slightly overpriced but it has nice specialty/seasonal drinks.

What a romantic gem this place is! Such a unique and wonderful cafe; beautiful, cool and comfortable. We had the hot chocolate, blueberry muffin, chocolate chip cookie and fudge gluten free oat bar. Food, beverages and staff are all fantastic. Our first time being here and we’ve fallen in love.
We got iced coffee, matcha and a few pastries right before closing and the staff were so nice for letting us stay. The servers were friendly and welcoming, I love how the pastries were not too sweet. Prices were also decent.
This is a lovely, high ceiling/double story vintage industrial building with character and style. Nice inside table and lots outside in the quad. This place can have quite a line and if so, do a little shopping and stop in a few minutes later and it will be quiet. Big groups pass through quickly.
I find, in life, you generally get what you pay for - and this is no exception. As each coffee ☕️ place has its own taste 👅 some hit 💯 some are off by some percentage. But It won't replace my day-to-day need of coffee ☕️ Caffeine ☕️ serve’s the purpose! Freshly brewed great taste 👅, but it's well worth splashing out on if I fancy some caffetine ☕️ based, self-indulgence and luxury.
This coffee shop is such a gem in the Distillery District. It’s an industrial design and loads of baked goods and delicious coffee.
I had an iced americano and an iced brownie and I really loved it.
The atmosphere along with the design and the great bakery varieties makes it one of the best coffee places I’ve ever been to.
There was free 2%milk, oat drink and half & half cream to add to your coffee if you wanted extra.
Tip: Go upstairs if you want to study/work or just spend some time with friends or alone. There is a cute indoor balcony that make you feel like you’re stepping in the Victorian era.

It didn’t take me much to adore this coffee shop. The moment you step in you are greeted by an amazing interior decoration. They serve many types of sweets and for me it was so hard to choose because all looked delicious.
Coffee is good and the ambiance is perfect to spend some time alone or with friends
