Great cafe! Our drinks and food were delicious. Staff were very kind.
Lovely spot during the winter season! Their special drinks are always great, with the apple cider being a personal favourite. It’s quite loud due to their popularity during the holidays, but it’s not a huge problem. They’ve got upstairs seating and a lovely set-up. The service is fast and friendly. Overall, not bad!
Got two sparkling lemonades, spicy yuzu and strawberry rose. Tasted good! Yuzu is tart and not at all sweet, while strawberry is jammy. But both have syrup that doesn’t dissolve super well, and one was under filled.

Balzac's Distillery District is a historical spot with great shops and a welcoming atmosphere. The building's architecture is noteworthy, making it a charming place to enjoy coffee in Toronto. The café has a unique urban factory spirit with beautifully restored architecture that fits the historic charm of the area. While the coffee may not stand out as extraordinary, customers appreciate the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere and the fast service from the friendly staff. Many feel the location is a must-visit in the district, offering a delightful setting whether one stays for a short time or lingers longer. The baristas are very welcoming and accommodating, with one staff member being particularly noted for exceptional service. Customers enjoy the specialty hot chocolates, like the s’mores hot chocolate with its flaming marshmallow, although some find the taste average for the price. Overall, Balzac's has done a fabulous job maintaining the historical significance of the building, making it an eye-catching destination in the heart of the Distillery District, perfect for a relaxing coffee break while exploring the area.
