I've been wanting to try Cafe Landwer for many years, and although i have yet to try their brunch, I enjoyed their dinner options. I got the rose ravioli with schnitzel add-on, and in my opinion the food was slightly bland, but it was extremely filling and I cleaned the plate. Aesthetically, every dish that came out looked delicious as well. Some dishes seemed to have more value than others, such as the pasta over the shawarma which was really small. We also got the wine & dine for 4 with the cheese board, but the table sign advertising the wine & dine didn't mention the cheese board would also contain nuts/walnuts, which I'm allergic to, so unfortunately I wasn't able to partake in the cheese board, except for one slice of cheese that was isolated and a mozzarella stick (which was actually delicious bc it's cheese). I heard the fries with the burger were really good, but the burger tasted store bought/old. The Margherita pizza for some reason doesn't come with basil, which is what makes it Margherita I think? Our server came back after our concern and laid out one (1) basil leaf on the pizza, which was really cute, but it was still strange to me that they would offer "Margherita pizza" on the menu but it's literally just cheese pizza. Overall my group and I had above average food, with hit or misses across the table, maybe bc their menu is too extensive and offering like 3-4 different cuisines. This resto is a great place to hang with friends tho, and I definitely want to come back for brunch, but I feel like they should try to tailor their dinner menu more instead of trying to offer everything, and then maybe they wouldn't have to serve cheese pizza as Margherita pizza

My cousin & I were in the area and this place caught our eye and we thought it was just a cafe. Turns out they had so many delicious food options!! I absolutely LOVEEEE the Angel hair rosé. I am typically not a person who can eat a lot and the portion was pretty big and I ate it UP. I loved it so much, I would most definitely put this location high up my list.

This cafe landwer is an absolute delight! I tried their shakshuka, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had—the eggs were perfectly poached, and the tomato sauce was rich, flavorful, and spiced just right, with a great balance of warmth and a hint of heat. The fresh herbs and warm pita on the side made it even better. Their coffee is equally outstanding, with a strong, smooth flavor that pairs perfectly with the meal. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy authentic flavors. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall fantastic experience. Whether you’re here for breakfast, brunch, or just a coffee break, this place is a gem. Highly recommend!

We tried Croissant Benedict, Landwer’s famous Breakfast with smokey brisket omelette in addition we had Berlin 1919 & House blend teas which was perfect for the weather, and nothing disappointed us. Loved the food, service and atmosphere here.. Definitely coming back to try other stuff.

k live in the North York area and was looking for a Mediterranean style restaurant with a western twist. Cafe Landwer was in my list for such a long time and I decided to take family to eat there. Food was okay, not the greatest. My family and I were pretty disappointed with the amount of food, quality and prices. Very expensive for what it is. The place is pretty and neat, service is good. But the food was okay. So overhyped for what it is. Unfortunately, would not go again and would not recommend.

This is one of my family's go-to brunch spots for its consistent quality. It's quite busy on weekends, but you can usually get a table within 15min. It's also a little pricey but the food is good. My typical order is the protein-packed omelette with potatoes and challah bread. The omelette is large and delicious, with a nice consistent texture. The challah bread is very soft and good on its own. The potatoes don't have much flavour and are sometimes cut a little too large, but they're good with ketchup and have a crispy skin and pleasant texture. Good service and a nice ambience makes this an all around great experience!

Food is great with shareable servings. We always order their Mediterranean salad, Shakshuka, and truffle mushroom pasta with their waffle as dessert. We have tried their regular burger and it s good as well. The coffee, milkshake and hot chocolate are something you may wanna try. So far, all that we have ordered have satisfied our palates, hence, us keep coming back. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The parking may be a bit of a concern but not a biggie. The place is clean and very calming. We would continue visiting here for sure and have recommended it to family and friends.

Just like your average cafe. Not a lot of good cafes on this street so this turns out to be the only option where you can go to. Food was average we ordered a mushroom pizza which was not really great. I like the truffle fries and the coffee is how it should be at any other cafe all in all a good place to sit with your friend and hang out.

It was quick dinner for us but we enjoyed both dishes! Server was so friendly and attentive. I especially liked my truffle mushroom pappardelle, which had rich cream and flavorful of truffle. Pappardelle was cooked perfect al dente. -Sinia Shakshuka: Beef kebabs, roasted egg plants, two eggs + Challah bread $22.95 -Truffle mushroom & cream pappardelle $24.95 There are a variety of people, some drinking wine alone, others with families or groups having a lively meal. Feels like a European-style stylish family restaurant. Not only the popular Shakshuka and Challah (twisted bread), but also the truffle cream pasta was delicious!

The most important thing for me in this cafe was its coziness. Despite the significant number of people inside, it was pretty quiet. The table we sat in was next to the kitchen and surprisingly the kitchen was quite quiet, letting us enjoy our time together and listening to each other! It is advisable to display the restaurant code on the parking ticket machine located in the parking lot near the restaurant for its customers.

The aesthetic and vibe of this cafe is great, and the menu is impressive and extensive something for everyone! However, the food was disappointing. The chicken shawarma did not taste like chicken shawarma. It didn t taste bad, but it definitely did not taste like chicken shawarma. The waffle was the most disappointing. Instead of a light and fluffy waffle, I got served a flat and hard waffle almost like they cranked up the heat on the waffle maker to cook it faster. I would not recommend either of those dishes. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are flagged on the menu Parking: Parking garage is free if you use their coupon code (available upon entry to the restaurant).

Alright, folks, lets talk about my experience of cafe Landwer last week. This place is a brunch wonderland! The iced latte was so cold and refreshing, it practically woke me up from a food coma. The farmers breakfast was a hearty feast fit for a lumberjack, and the berry bliss French toast? It was like a cloud of sweet, berry goodness. We also tried the Sinia shakshuka, which was pretty good, but it needed a little oomph. Maybe a sprinkle of green chili pepper or something? Just a thought. And oh, the sabich! We were so stuffed, but we couldnt resist. It was worth every calorie. We even grabbed some Jerusalem buns to go, because why not? We might as well have a food festival at home. But the real heroes of this story are the staff. Not only do they serve up amazing food, but theyre also detectives! One guest left their phone behind, and the staff tracked them down like a hawk. Talk about service! So, if youre looking for a brunch spot thats not only delicious but also has a side of heartwarming hospitality, Landwer is the place to be. Just make sure you come hungry, and maybe bring a backpack for all the food youll want to take home. Oh and I learned this today Lebriut, leohel tov, ulechaverim niflaim (good health, a good food, and good friends)

I gave one extra star because the food was amazing but their customer service is very disappointing. The server and manager there gave us the wrong bill three times (wasnt busy at that time) and it took us a month to get our refund back. Everyone said different things regards to the refund issue and made me to go back to the restaurant two times (I had to travel for two hours..). Hope they communicate better with each other and work on problem solving,, Their food is amazing as always tho.

The drinks were not super sweet and tasted quite refreshing. Protein-packed omelette was paired with a side of potatoes and focaccia bread. Falafel Plate came with pita, side of salad and hummus - the falafel balls were crispy and delish. Halloumi Shakshuka with fries and pillowy soft challah bread - the sauce can get a bit overpowering but the halloumi cheese is chewy and flavourful. Vegetarian options: Limited

I normally write reviews a few weeks after but I am making an exception to this establishment. My close friends and I had our dinner here today. When we came in, the atmosphere was warm and even more inviting when the staff greeted us. We felt welcomed immediately. It was packed but they had a few tables available and we did not have to wait at all. JJ asked us if we wanted to transfer to the larger round table with a bigger couch and we said yes. JJ, Joy and the other woman who served us were all amazing and wonderful! The job can get exhausting but they seemed to be enjoying what they do! The service was top notch from beginning to end. JJ even went an extra mile and offered us desserts and told him that we were there to celebrate a friends birthday. The food were all presented well! My friend and I who ordered shakshuka expected more but it was good. My friend who was celebrating her birthday enjoyed her truffle pasta and even said that it is better than the truffle pasta at the other restaurants she tried. My friend who ordered a salad pointed out that the mushroom was delicious and cooked perfectly. Overall, we enjoyed our experience as the ambience and service enhanced our dining experience. It makes you want to slow down, relax and have a genuine connection with the people you are eating with, and enjoy a pleasantly prepared meal. If you are going alone, it encourages mindful eating even in the midst of a busy time. Again, thank you so much for your exemplary service! Parking: Considering the location, it is busy and difficult to find parking even street parking especially during rush hour. However, once inside, you will see a note that they offer free parking as long as you get a proof from the cafe that you will be dining in or after you dine in.

The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that all our needs were met without being intrusive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which made the experience even better. Overall, Cafe Landwer is a gem that deserves a visit.

Came by for a quick brunch stop. Saturday of thanksgiving weekend, so, understandably a bit busy. No stress! Got a table fairly quickly, immediately greeted by a manger who was very nice. When the server came by I asked about the silky frost latte - she just replied it s too sweet, I wouldn t recommend it - fair! We just believed she was being frank which is appreciated. We got two other coffees and two pastries to start, both arrived very quick and were quite nice! However the rest of the experience was pretty mid. My partner got the protein omelette which he said was fine, albeit bland. I got the breakfast sandwich with the beef sausage add on as it didn t come with any meat. I was a bit surprised, as it came on a burger bun (just a bit odd, no issue otherwise) and the scrambled eggs were obviously just a plain omelette (also, fine, eggs are eggs). Also incredibly bland. However you get 2 breakfast sausages, the itty bitty ones, for $5. I feel like 4 is the standard for the price? Eitherway, nothing distinctly wrong, just incredibly lack lustre. My partner and I both work in the service industry, we are fairly understanding of service quality / how busy the server is. That being said, by the end of our stay we had decided our sever was just pretty over her shift, rather than being too busy. She took our order, had the blunt comment about the coffee, checked on how the food was as soon as it hit the table and didn t come back till she cleared the plates and we asked for the bill. By the time we were passing the machine back she was already walking away and saying bye over her shoulder. Overall just a really OK experience. We d come back for a coffee and some pastries at best.

Best latte in North York! I tried the brunch menu, which was pretty decent. I didnt need a reservation, but even around 12 pm, it was still quite crowded. What I ordered: - Iced americano - Vanila Latte + lactose Free - French Toast - i forgot Parking: Pay Parking on Yonge St or Side Street Park

I told the waitress please remove ice for my drink and she said no problem but I still ended up getting a latte with full ice in it. Not a big deal but just hope they can do what they promised

The place is good, the food is delicious, the service was a little delayed, but the main issue is that the cafe could open only the main entrance and close the other doors, because it was windy and of course it makes it a little uncomfortable for the people seated near the other entrances. In general terms its an excellent place, they just need to improve little things

Why have a storefront that looks like you can order coffee and baked goods to go and not be equipped or prepared for that type of transaction? Especially when in such a busy area thats within walking distance to a beautiful park and museum. Went in with close friends for a quick coffee to go... For two slightly stale croissants and two lukewarm coffees in the smallest cups totaling for $20... Youre better off going ANYWHERE else. One of the servers also got annoyed when we asked for creamer. He loudly sighed, pointed and told my friend, Well, the self server station is over there! Their self server station was hidden behind the hostess waiting desk and ONLY had sugar. When we were asking for creamer. Which was behind the counter on the baristas side... Unbelievable. Change the layout of your storefront or train your servers to better handle a PAYING customer at the front. We seriously wish we could get our money back and wish we didnt step into that establishment.

Great place for lunch. It gets busy very quickly, so the line up is quite long. However, we arrived right before noon and only had to wait less than 5 mins on a Sunday. The matcha latte and croissant benedict were both tasty. Prices are on the high end, but they provide verified underground parking! Will definitely visit again.

Very good restaurant. Loved the eggplant sabich and pita that comes with it. This is a cute restaurant that seems good for any meal breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you like breakfast for dinner you can still get the shakshuka. Many different desserts to choose from ranging from pastries to ice cream.

I was disappointed with both the food and the customer service. The croissants is good but all others are lacked flavour. On top of that, the service was unresponsive and slow, which made the experience even more frustrating, e.g. water cup was left for most of the time / strangely asked what we still need which sounds like rushing us to leave

We have been going to other Cafe Landwer locations since it is my wifes favorite restaurant. We decided to go to this location for the first time and we are truly disappointed with our experience. When we first arrived at the restaurant, the hostess seated the group that arrived after us. I asked why we werent seated first and the hostess said she didnt see us, although we were a group of three practically blocking the entire entrance area. Our server didnt know how to place our food onto our table safely. She handed over the tray of food at an angle, almost slid the entire hot skillset into my wifes lap, luckily after some wobbling it was only the plate of sauce that landed all over my wife. She could have suffered serious burns had the hot skillet landed in her lap. That is NOT the right way to serve food. When she served the Turkish coffee, she did so while balancing another plate of hot drinks which easily could have been placed down first. The hot coffee, poured on her backhand, was again at risk of spilling. The manager saw both incidents and she did nothing about it. She didnt check in with us nor did she apologize.

Vibe and service is great but the place is overhyped. Food portions aren t as big as people vouch and while presentation is great the taste ain t so. Glad to have tried it but don t think it s worth to come back. Vegetarian options: There appears to be some vegetarian friendly options on the menu. Wheelchair accessibility: Narrow doors passage entrance to reception. Would be difficult to navigate with wheelchair.

A small cafe on the main street of Toronto (there is outdoor seating). The interior, like everywhere else in Canada, is no different; no one really bothers with it at all. We ordered pizza, a fancy green salad with sour sauce and goat cheese and sandwiches. Nice staff and very fast service. The food was delicious. Don t pass by, everything is expensive in Toronto and tipping is mandatory but you will like it here. A few days later they came back for breakfast. Very tasty, recommended

Came here for lunch with a group of 6 and we were seated quickly. The menu is quite extensive with many options. I liked how there is something for everyone s taste. The food came out quick and everything tasted delicious. I especially loved the halloumi shakshouka. Parking can be difficult though, so I d recommend parking at a green p if you can t find street parking.

This is a great place for a mid-priced meal that is filling and tasty. The theme is mostly Middle East, but there are other choices, and they do cater to vegetarians and vegans. If you are hungry, or can take the food with you, or have plenty of time, get the plant-based shwarma. Large and delicious. The falafel seems a bit small for the price, but it is served hot, and it is better than anything else that I have had recently in the Greater Toronto Area. All of the salads are good, some are great. Many people like the signature dish, the Shashuka. I like it, but it is not my preference. If you want a light meal, get the Med Salad and the fried Halloumi sticks. It is worth saving room for dessert, especially the rosalach (you need 3 - 4 people for this), which are prepared when ordered. The staff have always been friendly and the service has been great. I like the atmosphere in the 3 locations that I have visited, but this place is popular, and it is often crowded. You cannot reserve for all times at all locations (although that might have changed), and without a reservation, you might have to wait. If you have time, just wait. It is one of the best restaurants in this particular location. Vegetarian options: Almost everything can be ordered as a vegetarian dish, and some vegan options (plant-based shwarma) are worth it, even if youre not vegan.

On Sunday, I went to the Caffe Landware branch and ordered a chicken shawarma with my friend. Unfortunately, we both ended up with food poisoning and experienced severe stomach aches. I hope that the restaurant takes measures to prevent such incidents from happening to other customers in the future.
