50 Best Cafes in North York

“Wonderful food choices in a well designed setting.“

“Ins風小資咖啡廳，唔錯！“

“We've been on a bit of a bingsu kick so finally tried The Cups. We ordered the large matcha bingsu which was around $20-25. Good size portion for two people to have, and it was mostly good. We really liked the almond chips and the mochi, and we felt that they didn't skimp on the matcha powder which is nice.

Where it missed the mark a bit for us is the green tea ice cream was actually freezer burnt and made it a bit difficult to eat. There was also a bit of clumping with the snow near the bottom.

This place seems to be really popular on weekends so it might be hard to get a seat.“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

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

“The food and service are phenomenal, will recommend and come again“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“While visiting Toronto this weekend I had the pleasure to dine at Cafe Landwer twice for dinner. I was greeted and seated by Kimia, . The recommendations of choice of meals made by Kimia were details and were bursting with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The atmosphere was inviting and the attentive staff went above what was expected. I have shared my experience with Novotel Hotel staff to recommend to guests. Thank you Kimia and Team.“

“I just had my first visit. The decor is fantastic. No cookie cutter decor, but original. Great service delicious coffee look forward to next time.“

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

“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!“

“Such a cool Korean dessert cafe! Tried Bingsu for the very first time here (got the Mango Bingsu). I didn't know quite what to expect, but I ended up loving it! The Yuzu Tea was nice too, just a tad bitter for my taste, but still enjoyable. Great atmosphere and I’ll definitely be back to try new things off the menu!“

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

“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.“

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The cake for my baby girl was absolutely beautiful and turned out even better than I imagined. Every little detail was done with so much care, and not only did it look amazing, it tasted incredible too!“

“Fresh Cup Bubble Tea & Cafe at Peanut Plaza is hands down one of my favorite boba spot in North York! The newly renovated space is super cozy and clean, making it a great place to study or hang out.

Their menu is awesome and their staffs are super friendly, Alisha was especially super great and professional in everything she does.

I’ll definitely recommend the cafe, you should give it a try.“

“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 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!“

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

“Cafe Princess in North York is a hidden gem! We ordered the mango and strawberry Bingsu, both were absolutely perfect — fluffy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The layout is really cool and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay a while. They even have board games available if you want to hang out and play with friends, or you can just relax on the couches. Everything was clean, organized, and well put together. Highly recommend for dessert or a chill hangout spot!“

“I rarely write reviews but had to express my gratitude for Harry, who is truly the sweetest and most professional server you could ever have! He’s so consistent in his quality and care, everytime I’ve been here he’s taken amazing care of us. Make sure you ask for him!! And food never disappoints-quality is amazing. My only note is that the hostess was quite rude (July 8 at 8:50 PM).“

“Food Very Good but as in any place once in a blue moon it goes wrong DONT COMPLAIN they hate that but overall I gave them a 4.5 stars“

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

“had a great experience with Tim Horton. They provided excellent service from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about helping me. I really appreciate their support and would highly recommend Tim Horton to anyone looking for outstanding service. Thank you!“

“This was actually the cutest Starbucks in San Jose. It was super clean with a large seating area. Outside, there are many good trucks but they appeared closed in the mornings. Excellent coffee and service. They even had a drive through. Costa Rican Starbucks is waaaaay better than my Toronto neighbourd location.“

“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!“

“This was such a lovely atmosphere, as i walked in it was such a beautiful aesthetic with high ceilings and a floral aesthetic going on. It’s very spaced out, but I wouldn’t say there are alot of places to sit, and it’s hard to find a spot with an outlet, it’s more of a grab and go place or you can sit and chill with your friends. I got the iced mocha with almond milk and half sweetener it was pretty good mocha iced latte, it was a little bit more bitter than how I normally drink it, but it was drinkable ✨ they seem to have a lot more matcha options so this one is for matcha lovers“

“Really good food. Big portions.“

“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.“

“Although music choice is annoying (demographic of clientele does not match), food is good and coffee is a good pour. Outdoor patio is nice to try and chill out at but, again, this music is more jittery than calming. If the idea is to keep people moving out of their seats then goal achieved.
Good overall place to grab lunch/brunch.“

“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.“

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

“Lovely experience at Paris Baguette! It was my first time visiting the Sheppard Young location, and I had a great experience. I got the strawberry shortcake, with fresh strawberries and a chocolate piece on top. The service and staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable too. Fresh bakery items, cakes, and pastries. Will definitely be visiting back again soon!“

“Thank you for bringing the Pantry to the Lebovic JCC!“

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

“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.“

“I was just so very impressed indeed with the very great service in which I've received & also for the very lovely food presentation; it's also a very warm, cozy & also most friendly environment to experience

Vegetarian options: They have a very wide variety of vegetarian food; its very tasty & also very reasonably priced as well“

“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.“

“Stopped by this Tim Hortons a few days ago and the service from Ann and the other workers was incredible. Ann was very friendly and had such a positive attitude which truly made my day. I ordered a protein latte which usually takes long at the other Tim Horton locations but here I got order quickly.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Aroma, and a big part of that was because of the excellent service from Mico and Princess. They were both incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we walked in. They made us feel valued as customers and were happy to answer our questions with a smile. Their positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made our visit even more enjoyable. Great customer service like theirs is hard to find, and they truly deserve recognition. Thank you, Mico and Princess—we’ll definitely be back! ☕😊“

“Can I have your attention, Please, I saw testimonies from several people talking about Mrs. Thelma McPeek Welcome and I also decided to contact her and see how she operates, It was so fortunate her service is reliable and trustworthy, Her service is the best I've seen so far in forex trade.“

“I've been a regular here for the past 2 weeks. Iced americanos are always top tier here. The halloumi Mediterranean croissant is a divine light bite but if your feeling something more filling I've had the classic breakfast (added home fries). Service is speedy, outdoor seating in the warm weather is perfect. Consistently great experience at this branch.“

“Went there for brunch with some friends and I had a wonderful experience! The barista named Preet was super sweet and cooperative, she made an amazing latte and I would love to visit again because of her positive energy and great customer service.“

“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.👍👍“

“Food and service were great. We live just across the street and have never tried this place before.
The toast was fresh and delicious. Omelette cooked nicely and equally good.
Can be challenging to find a table depending on the time of the day, but for a Saturday morning, we could find a place to sit reasonably fast. But the place was packed.
Even with so many customers and orders, our plate came in just a few minutes waiting. Definitely a place where we will return regularly.“

“We couldn't have asked for a better place for Easter brunch. Everything was top notch, freshly prepared. We loved the variety of smoothies that were included with the brunch. Along with the haddock beurre blanc, buttermilk fried chicken and roasted veggie wraps. They also had an omelette station, continental breakfast choices as well as pasties, dessert bars, cereal, juices, coffee and tea. The Easter brunch buffet was $35 a person and it was definitely stellar.“
