I came here to taste the matcha drinks that people in the reviews were raving about.
Long story short, it’s not good matcha. I’ve tried pastries from another location and their cookies are extremely good but I will never buy matcha from here again.
The “matcha” is basically milk tea, tastes extremely sweet/sugary and is not properly mixed to top it off. It’s clumpy throughout the drink which goes to show how cheap and low quality it is. Also, let’s say the clumps were due to some other reason, this still isn’t real matcha. I wasn’t expecting ceremonial grade but if you’re charging for real matcha that is indeed the expectation I’ll have as a customer taste wise. If you love sweet milk tea and don’t like what makes matcha, well, matcha have a go.
To conclude, if you want matcha literally don’t come here or anywhere on campus? But their pastries and customer service are nice.

Ordered the bbq Asian salmon bowl and the forgot to add the salmon.
Convenient spot in York Lanes. Nice people and fair prices. Super fast service compared to the Starbucks and Tim Hortons in C. Sq. where line ups can be 20-30 patrons deep. Lots of healthy options. Got the Spartan breakfast wrap, with an orange and black coffee for under $10. Delicious and I felt good all day!

Great coffee, good matcha, amazing breakfast sandwiches. The breakfast sandwiches here are by far the best value and the best quality breakfast sandwiches I have had from any restaurant.

I have worked at York University for 10 years and have never had any issues with La Prep until I was told that my plant based beyond meat burger could no longer be made in a wrap because head office will not adjust the menu since it is a franchise. Really? So what is the point of offering a plant based burger slathered in cheese and literally just change the bread to a wrap? The old staff was kind and now it's just about the franchise making money and not caring about the customers.
Rude service staff Tuesday afternoon shift.
