About Balzac's Market Street

Balzac's Market Street is a cozy spot to grab a coffee and escape the bustle of St. Lawrence Market. The atmosphere is inviting, with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. The cafe offers a variety of drinks, including specialty beverages, teas, and flavored drinks which are quite sweet, so customers may want to ask for half-sweet options. They also serve delightful desserts, such as Mince Pies, Toffee Pudding, and treats from Dufflet, perfect to accompany any beverage. The cafe has a lot of charm, making it a nice place to stay awhile with a laptop or a good book. Customer service is generally friendly and outstanding, creating a welcoming environment for visitors, even if some baristas can sometimes be inattentive. Despite some inconsistencies, it remains a popular spot for those seeking a quiet retreat and a cozy atmosphere.

This is the place all the tourism websites will tell ya to go, but take it from me, there are many many MANY better cafes and bakeries in toronto. It isn't that Balzac's is bad. On the contrary their food is fine, their coffee is good too. But the experience just isn't at all what it's cooked up to be. For starters, you'll pay an arm and a leg for whatever you get here.
