This review is highly overdue and I have finally gotten around to writing it.
Platform has the kindest staff, most delicious coffee & incredible food! Place gets super busy so good luck getting a spot during busy times. Also the owner is INCREDIBLE. She’s really kind and a consummate professional.

The theme is extremely cute and the set up is nice and cozy. The atmosphere is probably one of the best I’ve ever seen in a coffee shop.
The warm and cozy latte was great. Extremely strong in flavour as promised with a prominent ginger kick.
Love the fact that their coffee profiles are describe in detail so you can choose.
Not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed with my matcha. It was on the watery side with tiny pieces of matcha powder floating.
Food was good. Had the torched salmon with wasabi sauce which was really good. I loved the crunchiness of the hashbrown and the fact that there were THREE on my plate. But it looked like packaged hashbrown which was the only downside.

I was here with friends over the weekend, and despite it being super busy, we had a great experience! Next time, I’ll definitely make a reservation though, as the booth seating can feel a bit cramped.
The food and ambiance really stood out. I was impressed by the generous portions and the quality—much better than your typical coffee shop. I loved my creamy udon and hojicha latte; both were delicious!
Although the seating is limited to 1.5 hours (as our waitress mentioned and is noted on the menu), they seemed flexible with this during peak hours, which was a nice touch given how busy it was.
Vegetarian options: They do offer vegan milk.
Dietary restrictions: They have vegan milk options.
Parking: Could be difficult to find parking on weekends.

Very average food and I barely find a few pieces of avocado on my “avocado toast”😂

The Rocher coffee is divine.

Platform Espresso Bar has fast service, a clean and calm atmosphere perfect for work, and spotless washrooms. Loved the espresso cola, sweet waffles, and the super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

The style here is somewhere between a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant and Cora, in terms of food quality and portion size👍👍👍; another selling point is that several servers all speak Cantonese😊

All I can say is wow. Sunday brunch time and the place was packed. Greeted at the door with a welcoming smile I knew it would be worth the wait. The food did not disappoint. The americano hit the spot, avocado toast with scrambled eggs was perfectly cooked, and my wife’s French toast cubes were just amazing!

Came here for the coffee and it did not disappoint. They very clearly state 3 roast levels and I had the light roast which, if you're into third wave coffee, was nice and fruity! Also shared a waffle club sandwich which was also delicious. I did not like their medium roast Americano, that's not how I normally drink coffee, but the husband liked it. One star off for the torn drywall and overall felt that the inside decor was lacking or aging and needs repair. I would still come back tho.

The service is pretty much average. And the foods are ok. But for those of you who want to have a great great brunch with your partner or friend, not recommended.

Coffee is fantastic here. Feels like it’s run by a bunch of young folks so everyone is very quick and upbeat. Decor is minimalistic but the place is airy and clean. Will definitely come back again.

Great, friendly service but there is very limited seating. I got the smoked salmon open faced sandwich which was good but not torched like the description said. Their hojicha latte was delicious.
