Good place for a quick lunch in the mall. I got Mixed Berry smoothie with whey protein and almond milk instead of apple juice and that was really good. Also I got a chicken wrap, that I really enjoyed. Customer Service here is really friendly. I would recommend this place for quick panini or some other pastries. Definitely will come back here again.

Hello, I hope you are well. I am one of your customers, and today I visited your store at 5 PM. I ordered a latte and a baklava, but the baklava was spoiled. I asked your employee, Ali, to either replace the baklava or refund my money. He responded that company policy does not allow returns or exchanges for spoiled items. Please look into this matter. I appreciate your attention and assistance. Thank you

I cannot give this coffee a pass. Expresso not good. Milk foam not smooth. Service was passable. Sitting area is basically the open corridor in the mall outside the shop if you like the open area.

Came over to Bayview village for a quiet sit down at (Lettieri express Coffee) with friends as we usually do weekly basis. To the Managment of (Littieri coffee shop) I do not want to further my discussion to Better Business Bureau or to the Management of Bayview village office. Day (Sunday 21) 12:30 till 1:30 pm We had a very unusual and a very rude LOUD mouth disturbance discussions with your crew particularly with (THE SHORT SKINNY) person behind the counter. This person tried to raise his voice and would not STOP yelling at my wife trying to get his point across. I interrupted to stop the discussion with his uneducated, unprofessionals, rude manner. All because we turned 4 coffee back and explained that the coffee was weak and too watery. Coffee portion for a small cup but filled in a large cup as we had original ordered and charged as such. $$$$ (In addition Our guest happened to be a CEO within the hospitality industry). We have never encountered such loud verbiage coming from your establishment, however if your crew has any reflection with this attitude It would greatly appreciated to educated this particular rude crew you have representing your coffee shop.

I wanted to say how much I appreciate this café. It's an ideal place to relax, thanks to the kind service of the staff and the delicious smell of freshly baked pastries and freshly made coffee. Every visit feels enjoyable by the staff's constant friendliness.

They have the best options for the paninis, as they are made very fresh and very delightful. Must try there blueberyy scones, they are right made out of the oven and very tasty. Lastly the brewed coffees are to die for. They serve freshly brewed coffees.

A very good coffee shop in Bayview VILLAGE. I really like their smoothies and the sandwiches specially the Tuna one and Parma. Tuna does really taste good, they know how to make it properly and I would recommend for everyone. Brewed Coffee are very good too. Vanilla hazelnut taste amazing.

It's alright for what it is. They serve up an assortment of Sandwiches, Pastries - savoury and sweet, Loaf Cakes and the usual cafe beverages. Most times I always get a coffee☕ or a peppermint 🌱tea and a Spanakopita pastry. The cakes are generic, the chocolate🍫 chip banana🍌🍞 bread used to be decent, but I haven't had it in awhile, nor have I seen it for sale on my last two visits.

Amazing fresh pressed juices and smoothies! The muffins are also a tasty treat!

April 21, 2024

Bad food and service. The scone was really stale and disgusting inside (and looked it, too), and when I returned it after one bite, all I was told was that there s nothing they can do because they get them from a manufacturer. How about offer a refund or exchange? It s not the customer s responsibility to reap the consequences if you have a bad manufacturer. Not to mention they also have no prices or labels for their food on display. Clearly they care more about money than being fair to their customers.

Good coffees and lattes; fresh enough baked goods. We did not have them, but enough selections of small sandwiches. Bagels werent on the menu, but apparently they have them too. I appreciated the fact that they did not ask for tip for takeout items automatically. But I would have happily tipped them. Bayview Village is sometimes very busy but we were able to find a table during Thursday morning at 9am.

Nice little cafe with a good selection of pastries, but the quality is not satisfying. We ordered Latte and cappuccino which were burnt and low in quality. This may have been a single incident. Ill update the review soon after trying again.

December 21, 2023

Terrible experience! Terrible staffs! They dont even listen - their coffee was burnt and I asked them to change and they didnt. They said all the coffees are like this and you are the only customer who is complaining!! Then they left I never seen such a rude behavior in Canada! Woman who works there on Saturday is very rude

Had blueberry scone for my kid and he loved it! It was very soft and not sweet which made it a perfect snack for him! Also got a cheese and ham croissant and enjoyed the taste! You need to sit in the mall not the cafe itself and sometimes it might get very crowded and loud! Staffs were nice and friendly!

Last year I asked if their pastry is made there and they said yes. Two days ago I went inside before closing and I see kirkland boxes with spinach pie, sandwiches. Croissants etc.and the lady said they don t make them. So apparently I am paying prime price bcs I m thinking I m eating somehow healthier but everything is from Cosco. Scam completely scam

December 21, 2022

Selling baked goods from Costco and espresso making by Nespresso wow lol not even worth 1 star. I can get better drinks and bakery on my own. Dont expect real espresso infused drinks here

Got a slice of banana bread and a blueberry scone (that was hot out of the oven!). Im eating it hours later and both are super moist and flavourful. An added bonus is that it isnt super sweet! Will be trying other pastries and their coffee another time for sure.

A nice little cafe in Bayview village. I ordered their coffee and it was pretty good. Wanted to order the paninis too but was too full after a big lunch. I would recommend for a quick stop if you want to try a non franchise option.

Rude customer service. we were trying to buy some pastries but the lady just gave us vague answers and when we bought something, she ended up charged us more than what she said. When we realized that and went back to ask about overcharging she said it was `what it was` .. not returning again..

December 21, 2020

Advertised as an espresso bar but served Nespresso coffee. Huge disappointment. Coffee treated gross if you were wondering.

Horrible ... the lady if I even can call her a lady was sooooo rude . They can not make a simple almond latte or even a simple soy latte . And they didn t want to refund my money .

The food and smoothie were okay but the service was atrocious! The worst Ive had in a long time in Canada. At the front there were two older ladies, so maybe thats different from the people who commented about the friendly staff. They gave me an attitude from the beginning when I asked for a sandwich and then decided to also add a smoothie. When I said the smoothie flavour the one who was supposed to make it had a reaction like F*ing great! and was visibly annoyed - at what, I dont understand, all I said was the flavour?! Then I noticed that the other one had inputted the wrong sandwich on the receipt and I pointed it out because I didnt want to get the wrong sandwich. That of course led to another session of attitude where both of them started being super rude to me, telling me that it doesnt matter because all of the sandwiches are the same price, which was not the point. They were so rude that I wanted to cancel everything but I had already paid while we were talking and I was with a friend who really wanted to eat there and had already put her order in. Two other customers saw all this and left because of how I was treated. Definitely never going back!

Lettieri serves bad coffee for a high price. The dark roast coffee I tried had absolutely NO coffee taste. It was just lukewarm water. When I told the server that it was tasteless, she said that no one else had ever complained about their dark roast before and that my taste buds must be off. She refused to refund my money or offer me anything else and watched in silence as I threw the coffee away. For the prices this place charges and in the ritzy shopping centre it is located, they should be offering a much better product and giving their customers better service. AVOID this place.
