28 Best Cafes in Markham

“What a lovely café! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was friendly and attentive, and the Stae bagel was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. A great place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Awesome mochi! i travel 3 hours on a bus just to get to it. It on my list of things to experience post pandemic.“

“What a pleasure to have such great quality French pastries and delectables here in Markham. Our favourites are the authentic Chaussons au pommes and Gâteau Basques. Delicious!“

“It was my first time trying this bakery. Ordered the Mango Millie Crepe cake and it was sooo good! The cake looked great and the fruits tasted so fresh. There was mango in between every layer. I'm craving it as I type this...

Note that this bakery is inside the underground parking lot. Took me a bit to find it.“

“Great cafe to take your dog. Free dog treats. Amazing vegan burger and very good almond milk flat white. Great place!“

“I go to many cafes to find needle in a haystack moments. I would say this coffee (Large-fat cat; 1 milk & 1 sugar) definitely top 2 coffees so far this year. I showed up after lunch so I didn't get to try the chocolate chip cookie but I shall return. They also have a menu for breakfast& food. Great quaint location, with outside seating (I didn't see any real cats though)
It was MeowTastic
Full paws score given“

“food is fantastic, will definitely be back for more“

“The staff were very friendly. This is inside the town shopping center. It’s surrounded by other cafes as well. They have so many matcha and coffee flavors. I got the strawberry Matcha and it was incredible. The Matcha was very smooth, not bitter at all. Can’t wait to come back and try it again.“

“Wayne's cup has greatest one of a kind Flapjacks and Biscotties ! Made with love and quality! A definite try!! #autismawareness #dayprogram“

“多倫多生活日記在此打咭☺️“

“Best Cafe ever they use the best quality I recommended to try 🙏“

“We ate here twice for lunch during a stay in Markham. The specials were excellent. Family run by a husband and wife who care about doing a great job. It's small and patrons aren't particularly good at cleaning up after themselves. Ignore it and enjoy the pleasant vibes and the good food.“

“For a food court cafe, the food and drinks served here are of top quality and great value for price. We had Hai Nan chicken rice, chicken steak on spaghetti in black pepper sauce, iced lemon tea and hot Yin Yeung. We got a free bag of freshly made hot and crunchy egg waffles by spending over $30. It was excellent!
We enjoyed this meal a lot and will be back to try more items on their extensive menu!“

“Never disappointed, no matter what drink I try here I am thoroughly satisfied. The white chocolate matcha is a favorite of my daughters and the white chocolate iced coffee and the Spanish latte are favorites of mine. The cookies and pastries are very good as well, if you can get your hands on them, they never last long!“

“Took my 2 kids and niece to Markham location and the staff Alyssa and Jenny were AWESOME 👏 Thank you to you both for your assistance offering us seats to sit and watch while we waited! Paintlounge is a great venue for kids, families, girls night out, self-care etc. Highly recommend you check it out! 👌🏼“

“This is a MUST GO TO Restaurant. I went for breakfast on March 20/23. My experience started with the best service from General Manager Gary Anthony. He was friendly, informative, and fast. The breakfast menu has everything. I love Eggs Bennie. While my style was not on the menu, Gary made it happen anyway. THE BEST EGGS BENNIE EVER! Gary recommended the Banana/Orange/Strawberry juice (it says fresh on the menu). I asked if it was "that grocery store brand" that shall not be named here. He said NO, we made it fresh from real fruit in the blender. It was like a smoothie from heaven. I will return often. While I live about 30 - 40 k from this restaurant (I had an appointment near it that morning) - I will be returning again and often. Next time I'm bringing my wife - She'll love it. Thank you Gary.“

“Great matcha and a cute vibe!

The actual coffee was nothing special, which was disappointing, but we loved the matcha and looking around at the decorations and books in the shop.

Depending on the time of day you go it can get busy.“

“Two things will tell you if you’re at a good location.1. Exceptional staff and baristas who don’t miss a beat, and 2. The quality and taste of the Nitro Cold Brew. And this location won me at that.I’m a bit particular about the taste of Nitro, and if its pulled wrong or the ratio of water that is mixed in is wrong, it can throw the flavour off. If the tanks and lines aren’t cleaned properly you can get a bitter or strange tasting beverage. There are a lot of moving parts in making sure the cold brew is up to par, and is usually a good indicator as to how much care the staff takes in preparing the cold brew (and likely everything else). That litmus test is what I personally use to know if I want to keep going to a location or not, and I never have issues here.Also special shout-out to JC who knew exactly what I wanted from my Nitro beverage. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work. Cheers!“

“My girlies and I randomly discovered this place after our spa visit near the region. And it didn’t disappoint. From aesthetic to food, waffles to coffee..everything was so good. Their cloud dessert and spicy noddles were absolutely delish. The pairing of cake with oolong…yum!“

“We happened to have breakfast there (two adults and one child) as the last stop on our trip to England. Very friendly owners and a wonderful, delicious breakfast! A very cozy atmosphere.“

“Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Vibe 3/5 (food court so nothing fancy)

If you want something fast and not needing to wait in like for those Hong Kong Style Cafe in Markham, this is the place!

It is technically open kitchen😂so everything is made fresh upon your eyes.

I love their pan fried vermicilii and hong kong style ice milk tea! (It can get bitter sometimes so ask for more sugar, they are nice)

Overall great pricing, easy and homey! 5/5“

“yummy yummy and yummy, everything is awesome, cute coffee“

“The meals aren't dirt cheap like some other cha chaan tengs, but the portions are large and the quality is there. Their sizzling plates are around the $30 mark now but they will easily feed two people. They're not skimping on protein. The drinks are solid as well. They're strong, not sad and watery. I've been ordering from here for years. Still one of my fav places for baked rice.“

“2025 October 4★
Standard bubble tea. Two for one deal. Total under $10 via Uber. Pick up. Apparently not much seating. So really, no hanging around. Unless you are a group of friends who want to stand around, this place is probably only good for the summer as you can hang outside and the nearby park. Otherwise, this is purely a takeout place.“

“We reserved a table for 8 on a Saturday. Service was awesome. Despite full house on mom’s day weekend. They got drinks for everyone and served all our different meals at the same time. Food was delicious. Really enjoy the mini waffles and fruit with a latte. My husband and mom love their bennies, comes with a lot! Really filling and yummy.“

“The large gyro dinner was good, everything is there, but, look over to the right. That’s correct, that’s a buttered hot dog bun. I’ll be honest, I’m not mad, I’m just confused. Did your kitchen run out of pita bread? Someone could’ve just told me as I got my takeout order. I got back home to this. Otherwise the meal was great, just losing a star for not communicating to me about the hot dog bun replacement.“

“The present owner has many years of experience in the authentic Chinese cuisine in Hamilton,Ontario. We used to go to his Hamilton restaurant every weekends for at lest over 10 years until he moved to Markham.. Good food and service too.We really missed him.“

“Panera Bread is one of those places that never fails to leave a great impression. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a clean, cozy atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff who make the experience even more enjoyable.

I tried one of their fresh bakery pastries, and it was absolutely amazing—light, flaky, perfectly baked, and just the right balance of sweetness. You can really taste the quality and freshness in every bite. Paired with a coffee, it made for the perfect little treat.

Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or just a quick snack, Panera offers consistently fresh food, a relaxing environment, and excellent customer service.

It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy good food, and leave with a smile. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back for more!!!!“
