20 Best Coffee Shops near Mount Albert

“I love this cafe! The treats are always incredible (my favourites are the raspberry squares, salted caramel choc chip square, and anything with a shortbread base). The staff are all so friendly and helpful - it's a wonderful place to meet friends, bring your family, or just do takeout. The lunch options (paninis, wraps, salads or soups) are delicious and change daily and seasonally. As a bonus there are frozen dinner options for you to take home and they also do catering! Can't recommend the Lighthouse Cafe enough!“

Best birthday breakfast ever!
Anastasia was the best server I’ve ever had at Here & Simple — so kind, attentive, and genuinely wonderful. She made my birthday morning feel really special. Shout-out as well to the host with the long hair at the front — such a warm welcome and a beautiful smile. Thank you both for an amazing experience. Highly recommend!“

The quality, consistency, and care truly make it worth the detour. Huge shoutout to Vasanth, Priya, Prasank, Melissa, and Raj—your service is top-tier every time.

“Does the location is very clean and nice usually no way one person that stood out to me the most was a worker named Rosemary. She is always very kind and a model employee, I am 45 and It has been a pleasure to come here with my wife and child“

“I love this location! I came in and was greeted immediately and when I went to order the girl there was very lovely and made excellent recommendations. I do not go to Starbucks very much nor do I ever leave reviews but the way the atmosphere there was perfect when I came in and the staff was wonderful. The girl at the register had a name tag that said Anita and I hope she is getting the recognition she deserves, she's amazing!“

“The Osaka-based sweet spot is known for its “revolutionary cheese tarts” and cheesecakes in various flavours and sizes, they specializes in creamy, rich cheesecakes and minis, which come in over a dozen exciting flavours.

Pablo Cheese Tarts was founded in Osaka, Japan by Masamitsu Sakimoto, the mastermind behind the brand. The name “Pablo” was inspired by the renowned 20th artist Pablo Picasso, symbolizing the artistic craftsmanship that goes into creating each tart.

The alluring mini cheese tarts not only come in classic flavours like the original, chocolate, or matcha, but with eye-catching toppings like chestnut (done in a mountain of strands, like Mont Blanc desserts), white chocolate raspberry, fresh mango, or ube, among others.

The cheesecake filling is fluffy and oozy (especially if you warm it up a bit), but the treats prove equally as enjoyable if they've firmed up a bit in your fridge.

Much like another big player in the Japanese cheesecake scene, Pablo stamps their creations with their logo, too.

The original cheese tart has a creamy and not too heavy cheese flavor, while the mango tart boasts a good mango taste. Some customers find the tarts to be fairly dense but overall enjoyable. The selection of flavors is impressive, with options like white chocolate raspberry and Nutella.

Pablo is a Japanese bakery known for their cheese tart, but they also serve up a pretty cool soft serve.“

“Honest to god this is the greatest Tim Hortons in the GTA. Their consistency is second to none. The ingredients in the food taste fresh, the coffee is peak and their service is fast and friendly. No exaggeration what so ever my partner and I go out of our way to eat/drink at this location over any other Tim Hortons.

Recommend the drive thru during lunch time hours throughout the week, as it gets very crowded with high school students during their breaks. Keep up the good work, staff we love you.“
