34 Best Cafes in North York

“Wonderful food choices in a well designed setting.“

“Today Jan 3, 2025 was my first time here. Beautifully decorated, Clean, generous size delicious baked on the premises blueberry scones, good coffee, friendly helpful staff and owner. I spent a long time working on the crossword puzzle sipping my two cups of coffee. I wasn’t rushed. Felt very comfortable. I wish them well, and I shall return for sure.“

“Ins風小資咖啡廳，唔錯！“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

“Amazing food with great selection. Food always come fresh and tastes delicious!“

“Amazing flavor. There are not many Bingsu spots in Toronto, but I would say this location creates the perfect blend. Price is slightly high. I would reduce it by 2 dollars to make customers feel more welcome. The tip system is a little pressuring on top of a heavy price. I would definitely recommend for flavor wise if money is not really a concern.“

“So… my wife and I have been regulars at this gem of a restaurant ever since we moved into the neighbourhood over a year ago. We’ve always had our go-to favourites—the Truffle Mushroom Pasta (absolutely addictive!) and the Fresh Grilled Salmon (perfect every single time).

But today, we decided to branch out and try two of the Chef’s specials: the Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta and the Sea Bass with layered potatoes. OMG—both dishes were out of this world! Flavor-packed, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. These weren’t just good… they hit it out of the park.

Looks like our “all-time favourites” list just got an update. Bravo to the Chef and team—this place keeps surprising us in the best way possible!“

“great ambiance and great food. just loved it.“

“This is a wonderful local coffee shop. They make delicious croissants and scones. I've brought them to some functions and everyone loves them! Support local business. Very friendly service.“

“Surprisingly great! Probably the healthiest sweets I've ever had! But also very tasty!

We got the variety pack of sweets made from a variety of different legumes. Some are light tasting and some have added spices such as cinnamon. None of them are too sweet which we prefer!“

“Back for a 2nd time, food just as delicious and fresh as the first time. It was nice to enjoy their reasonably priced lunch menu, we enjoyed the Sicilian (one with turkey and no eggplant) and the Turkey with provolone and jelly. My daughter ordered bow tie pesto pasta di burrata - out of this world fresh and delish! We ordered bruschetta and heated olives/crostini and the maple pecan salad, the dressing was a bit on the sweet side if you don't mind, we found it scrumptious. Desserts were great, cannoli with pistachio filling, chocolate eclair (we think coffee would be better), tiramisu was ok, and best of all of them however was the nutella filled croissant with fresh strawberries, heaven! Happy to go again, and again, and again :-)“

“Very close to home and I love the environment and great food and service“

“Best ensaymada and halo halo in town❤️“

“Went here with my sister while waiting for our dog haircut and grooming. The cafe is located upstairs and they have a nice cozy atmosphere. I love their matcha varieties! We tried the almond croissant and it tastes so good and flaky! I got the dirty iced matcha and my sister had the iced americano. Both are good and made really well! They also have a nice wall art where you can draw and there's also free wifi. A nice place to study.“

“Coffee, bagels, and especially the homemade butter tarts.“

“Came across this lovely hidden gem in North York Center today. It's a bit hard to find, but it's right around the corner beside the public library. The ice in the iced coffee is frozen coffee instead of reguar ice so the drink doesn't get watered down, which shows a level of care for their customers that I appreciate. The service was delightful as well. Happy to support a local mom and pop shop!<3“

“I was here for Macaron Day 2015. So cozy, comfy, beautifully decorated and the juice was delicious, baked goods ween point, coffee was great. The service was wonderful, I am eager to come back!“

“I absolutely love this place! By far the best coffee and pastries in the area. Although they are a relatively new bakery, the reputation that they’ve built for themselves amongst the city, and especially the Lawrence Park community is remarkable!“

“Very cute and cosy cafe. Love that they use De Mello coffee.“

“Really good food. Big portions.“

“What an establishment! We are currently hosting our networking event at Eisenberg's every Wednesday Morning at 6:45am. Everyone is loving the food, coffee, and service! Boaz and his staff are amazing!“

“This place has an INCREDIBLE variety of delicious pastries. I usually come in for iced coffee before work but there wasn’t any available a few times over the last week. It’s also very overpriced so i will start trying to bring some from home instead.“

“I was waiting for my order for at least 10 min and when I went to ask they told me my name was called twice, so my order was just there waiting for me. I did not hear anything at all, the person should call with normal voice so that customers can hear. I was right there and nobody called my name, my order was just left there. As a result my coffee was cold. Very disappointed. Aside this - nice place, not too bad.“

“Everything was pretty good! The bingsu is delicious I highly recommend the mango one. The worker there was doing a good job based on it just being them and I think the atmosphere was really cute! Overall I think this cafe is a nice and a good place to hangout with a small group of friends“

“always amazing service and great food😋😋“

“Was my first time trying your pancakes @square one mall yesterday. Must say they’re delicious. The staff was very polite and allowed us in just before their closing, so Thankyou for that! Great service and not to be missed pancakes..will sure go back again👍🏻🥞✅“

“Wonderful neighborhood bakery. Friendly staff and delicious pastries and breads! Highly recommend“

“Stopped by this local Cafe today despite some negative reviews. I walked in for a latte and hoping for alternative milks which they had a large variety of. The barista explained they're revamping their coffee menu to better suit the community, will be back.“

“My son joined WillowWood School in Grade 6 and it was not just a game changer for him but for us as a family too. Constantly struggling earlier to cope up academically, socially and emotionally, he found a safe, positive, non-judgemental and nurturing school environment to learn and grow. Shout out to all the teachers and staff for being exceptionally understanding, patient, compassionate and skilled to help my child “Learn with Dignity”, a motto that the school unequivocally stands by. We are lucky and grateful that we found you!“

“This place is literally the quintessential "friends" hangout spot that every college student needs to relax, study, socialize or just vibe with. The fact that there's amazing (cheap af) food, board games, and lovely staff, like this is the best board game cafe, coffee cafe, and student lounge combined!“

“Had the best panzerotti! Definitely will go back 😋“

“Highly recommend! We had the BLT and an egg/bacon/cheese sandwich. Delicious, fresh and quality ingredients. The two ladies working when we were there were super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely make a point to include at least a couple visits anytime we are in LH.“

“I really want to mention Supervisor Brindha for her amazing service at this Tim Hortons. Every time I come in, she’s friendly, welcoming, and makes sure things run smoothly even when it’s busy. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel valued as a customer.“

“The food tastes good. We ordered the Aroma Power Breakfast and The Aroma salad. In the breakfast, I replaced the fries with greens. The greens came with a lemon and olive dressing, which paired really well with the greens, cream cheese, and avocado! I ended up turning it into an egg sandwich halfway through the meal, and it was an excellent decision. I don't usually have salad with my fried eggs, but I have to say, switching fries for greens made the whole meal taste much more flavourful.
I also appreciated that they had very clear signs encouraging you to bring your personal cups for your drinks, to reduce single-use waste (plus, you get a small discount when you bring one).“
