“Fantasy place to bring the kids. We've been going here since the kids were born now there nearing middle aged. We go here at least 3 times a week and more frequently during summer. The new owner has done a marvelous job on upgrading the store and upgrading the menu and drinks. If you are a regular customer I'd highly recommend the loyalty card it's well worth it and getting free boba tea's. 10/10“

“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!“

“Wow! Unbelievable flavour, heaven in a pastry Incredible dessert to spoil any guests or hosts after dinner.“

“We’re you actually about to go to a major chain instead of this? Good hot food. Kind and courteous service by owner-operators. Coffee’s okay, and they have flavours if you’re into that. If you’re passing through, choose this place. Enjoy the feeling you get when you pass through again 7 years later and get the same great sandwich handed to you by the same kindly gentleman.“

“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!“

“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 had lunch at this restaurant and it was an excellent experience—perfect for meeting with a client. The atmosphere was elegant and comfortable, making it an ideal setting for a business lunch.

The food was outstanding. The avocados were perfectly ripe, the deep-fried artichokes were absolutely delicious, and the fish was cooked beautifully. Every dish was impressive.

Overall, it’s a fantastic place to dine, whether for business or a relaxed meal. Highly recommended.“

“Great place to chill with friends, couches are very comfy but can get taken up fast during peak hours. I really like their dessert options, their drinks are good but a little pricey. I particularly go for their waffle options topped with ice cream when I go. The place is cutely decorated and it’s on the top floor of the building so has an overlooking view of outside which is nice when hanging out and relaxing.“

“I had a great experience at this Tim Hortons thanks to Aayush. His behavior and attitude are always outstanding. He is extremely professional, polite, and respectful every time I visit. Honestly, I’ve rarely seen customer service this good. Aayush always makes the experience pleasant and welcoming. I truly appreciate his hard work and positive attitude. Keep up the great work“

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

“Really good food. Big portions.“

“Okayyy this place deserves the hype 🌮🔥 The food was SO good, fresh and flavorful! But honestly the service made it even better!! From them was so friendly and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about the people coming in. Love supporting amazing local spots like this!! Definitely will be back.“

“Lunik is hands down the most affordable and enjoyable spot on Glendon campus for coffee or a sweet treat. Operated by students as a non-profit co-op, it’s one of the most relaxed and welcoming places to hang out at York — Keele campus included! Even better, you can get involved as a volunteer, meet like-minded people, and learn about sustainability and hands-on democracy. A great place to connect, unwind, and enjoy good coffee!“

“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.“

“Honestly everything you need from a coffee shop. Fresh coffee, inexpensive filling delicious bites, outlets and space if you need to work, environment is clean and washrooms are always well kept.

Anecdotally the drip coffee, matcha, and latte's have consistent quality and richness, never watered down. I have diabetes where the barista is always happily accommodating for. Love the bureka pastry i got this week. Very fluffy and tasty.

In terms of staff they're always kind, accommodating, and friendly. If you go often enough, they'll recognize you and say hi.

Highly recommend to drop by or keep as your go to shop“

“Great coffee and food ! Love their Iced Brown Sugar Espresso Latte and Creamy Mushroom Toast 😋“

“NEW OWNERSHIP and they have fully changed this coffee shop! What used to be an old coffee shop has changed into an amazing spot to grab and go. Their Pattie’s are amazing. I also heard from the new owner that they are starting a new patty sandwich. Looking forward to it.“

“Haven't had a bad meal here yet.
Prices are on the higher side for a quick service salad / sandwich place but the quality is good and options are plentiful.

Their drink menu is also 👌 on point 👉
My go to is the Chickpea salad with an iced hazelnut latte.

Service is generally friendly but not overly engaged with customers.

The location is always busy during weekday lunches. It can be hard to find a seat, but on a nice day they have some patio seating which helps and adds a nice vibe.

They also validate parking for the parking garage attached to the building. A heads up that You can't get there through the parking garage, you need to walk around the outside of the building (something to consider on a cold or rainy day).“

“I’ve been here twice now and can already tell it might become my new summer spot! They have the cutest patio in a quiet area away from the busy street.
The food is decent, and better than a lot of alternatives in the neighbourhood.
They have many food options on their menu, and an array of drinks, so you’re bound to find something you’ll love.
The staff is lovely and kind, and very patient.“

“This office building is hiding such a high-quality coffee shop! It's right next to the subway exit, so you can get there without even stepping onto the street. The menu has a wide selection, and the food is all top-notch. The best part is, even the tables and chairs are quite high. I'm a little envious of the office workers who work here.“

“just WOW! I stopped at the cedar pointe location this afternoon to grab some doubles and they did not disappoint! I've been waiting for someone to open a place that makes delicious doubles in Barrie and I will be going back for sure!“

“I went on Saturday to order a hot chocolate and Tim Bits. The lady was standing there, greet me with smile. She was very good in a customer service. I forgot her name but when I asked she told me that she only works on weekend. I did not remember about my points she asked me scan Tim points me, that was a nice reminder.
It does not take long to say, how can I help you today? Smile. We need more people like her in customer service.👍👍“

“We needed a birthday cake last minute, and we came to Paris Baguette for solution. We ordered a mini strawberry soft cream cake. The cake was fluffy, soft, and most of all, not too sweet. Everyone enjoyed the cake including the birthday boy!“

“Absolutely amazing experience every time! The ladies and part owners are truly fabulous — always kind, professional, and welcoming. They go above and beyond to customize our orders exactly how we like them, which makes such a difference. The food is ALWAYS fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. You can really feel the care and quality in everything they do. Highly recommend — outstanding service and consistently wonderful food!“

“I recently stopped by Anthony’s Cafe and had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being over the top. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and came out quickly — you can tell they care about quality. It’s the kind of spot that feels easy to come back to, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down for a relaxed meal. Definitely a solid local gem.“

“Love this place . It’s a hidden gem . The steak sandwiches are unbelievable leave alone the house made Dandelion root ice tea . The sandwiches by Daniel et Daniel are so good especially the chicken club and grilled cheese for kids .
Such a great atmosphere and the staff are such a great team ! You do have to wait in line sometimes but it’s worth the beautiful treats and you get to love the beautiful botanical gardens too !
Also check out their date square with orange zest !“

“I visit Aroma Kava almost every day, the atmosphere there is warm and cozy, and the staff is always incredibly friendly. The coffee is delicious, and every time they draw beautiful latte-art designs on my drink, which always lifts my mood.
I truly love this place and highly recommend it!“
