“Awesome breakfast . The pancakes are a totally unique experience“

“My girlfriend and I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. Everything on the menu is delicious, but the lava cake is an absolute favorite 😋. The Biscoff latte is a must-try as well. Definitely an underrated spot worth checking out!“

“Excellent chai and loved the ambiance 😊“

“New to the area and this has become my go to place for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. The staff are always friendly and the restaurant is very clean. I appreciated the extra service today when I was asked if I wanted a refill on my iced coffee! Thank you! :)“

“Stae Café has such a lovely atmosphere, calm, cozy, and perfect for relaxing or catching up with a friend. I ordered a matcha, and while they didn’t have their regular blend, I opted for the higher-grade version (+$1) with lactose-free milk (+$0.90). It ended up costing $10.84 in total, which is a bit on the pricier side, but the drink itself was smooth, refreshing, and really well made. Overall, a great experience but just be prepared to pay a little extra for upgrades.“

“We went to Symposium for our anniversary and what an amazing night! Our server Jaime was beyond amazing. Extremely welcoming and fantastic customer service. I recently came home from a trip in Bermuda and asked the bartender to make me a 'Bermudian Rum Swizzle' and Sawan did not disappoint! He nailed it right on the pin! The food was delicious and compliments to the chef! We also indulged in their tiramisu cake as our dessert and my goodness, the flavor! So fresh! All in all, an extremely wonderful night thanks to Jaime and Sawan!“

“Highly recommend visiting the Bean & Basket! Michelle embodies everything that makes this establishment special. Her genuine warmth and eagerness to connect with everyone who walks in is truly heartwarming. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, she treats you like an old friend, eager to learn about your interests and experiences. Michelle makes everyone feel included, a great addition to the Village community!“

“As a lover of coffee & the coffee culture, I have to say that Jacked Up Coffee delivers. The vibe is great, energy of the barista(s) is contagious. Definitely a place that makes you feel like home….plus kick butt coffee☕️“

“Absolutely amazing food and experience. I will travel to this place from anywhere.“

“In July 2022, I had the pleasure of attending 8-Bit Beans for my grandson's birthday celebration (at the Whitby location). He chose the venue, and it was such a great choice. I even played some retro arcade games, even though I usually consider myself "too old" for that stuff. The overall vibe is why I played the games. I felt like a kid again for just a little while. Tasty (but simple) adult and kid friendly food that was served in a timely manner, and with a smile. The staff were polite and friendly, and the service was top notch. I look forward to returning in the future.“

“Lots of delicious food for a great price!“

“First time going here and surprisingly, was great! Enjoyed both the coffee and croissant, which were surprisingly good. A nice chill place to go to. Price is a bit higher, but same when you go to Starbucks. Need more coffee shops like this around Markham and beyond.“

“Popped in here for a quick pastry and coffee. Alice and Phillip were super nice and welcoming, even if they were about to close in 15min. Most places are rushing you out the door when its that close to closing. Ambiance is great. Will definitely be back here.“

“First time here and we cannot recommend this place enough. staff? warm and friendly. atmosphere? calm and inviting. food? to quote my 10 year old: "it tastes like happiness" we had the seafood boil with the sea salt signature sauce, lobster, crab, shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes, and we added noodles and crawfish. I think my kid thanked me seven times during this meal for bringing her here. we will 100% be back.“

“Love everything about coffee cultures. Such a nice atmosphere. In this day and age with so much chaos in the world, its such a nice relaxing get away. I go with my daughter. We get to relax, connect and enjoy wonderful beverage and food!! 🙂“

“Beautiful restaurant followed by exceptional service! I was served an amazing breakfast and the kind lady was so sweet and nice to me and my wife during our visit! I was so glad to have came by! Definitely gonna have my breakfasts here from now on!“

“Panera is legendary but we don't have them in the prairies. The Mac n cheese with a big salad and hunk of bread is a wicked lunch combo. I also had a frozen strawberry lemonade which hit the spot on a hot, muggy day. Check it out if you're from the West!“
