The most delicious Mexican food, friendly staff and great service. It’s a great spot for a weekend brunch! The menu has sweet and savory dishes, would definitely be coming back soon!

I really like this place! It has lots of seating and great patio. The service is always fast, kind and polite. I ordered the chilaquiles with eggs and green sauce. It was so delicious! The eggs were cooked perfectly, it was quite filling and I was very happy with the unique flavour. This place is a great choice if looking for a brunch that’s a little different from other places.

We love this place! The owners are amazing people and I love their food, hazelnut coffee and pastry. We went for brunch last Sunday and had the chiliquilies, French toast, dulce be leche and Nutella pancakes! Everything was dalish. Next we will go for Mexican dinner!

Located across from Meridian Arts Centre, this cafe is super cute and run by really nice people. We ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and the ham and eggs benedict. Both were delicious and the egg was cooked quite well. The potatoes are definitely unique, as instead of them being crispy, they're cooked in a delicious sauce. Will be back for sure to try the Mexican breakfast options!

★★★★
February 10, 2024

Update: we returned and I had the spicy chorizo eggs benedict, which I didn't like as much as the other dishes. The potatoes aren't quite to my tastes as I like crispier ones and I hit diminishing returns quickly on both the potatoes and the benedict itself. Still a solid and unique brunch spot, it's just that the benedict wasn't my favourite. A great brunch spot with Mexican-inspired food! I had the $16.99 Mexican enchiladas with green sauce, which I enjoyed. We also had the $16.99 Mexican chilaquiles with chicken, $17.99 applewood carved ham eggs benedict, and $17.99 spicy chorizo eggs benedict, and everyone liked their dishes. We also got the $23.99 YC pancake sharing platter with 12 mini pancakes, which was very cute and yummy! Overall, there were no complaints about the food, and the service was great. Would return for another brunch sometime!

We went there for brunch, we ordered our meal and a latte each but our drinks never came. We asked the waiter if he could bring them but he never did. And when we asked to pay they wanted to charge us for the drinks even though we never received them (after explaining it to the waitress she removed it from the bill). The door also lets in a LOT of wind not very comfortable when eating.

A convenient compact restaurant inside a faceless office tower. Nice place for coffee, sandwiches, or one of the daily specials.

Located in the midst of the hustle & bustle of North York and Mel Lastman Square, the Yonge Cafe is one fabulous oasis. We had a Saturday brunch there and Carlos (owner & maitre d) was most courteous and collegial. When we couldnt get the parking machine to work in the underground parking, he kindly went down with me to solve the problem. BTW free parking available! Really liked the Mexican flair on the menu as Carlos is Mexican, however there is wide range of menu selections available. Marvillosa! Bravissimo!

Ordered a strawberry banana Smoothie, but it took them 10 minutes to make it. I was the only person they were serving , but it appeared that they didnt know how to make it or something. Unfortunately the cashier may have been having a bad day or something, but she lacked any sort of customer service. She wasnt too pleasant when I asked if everything is okay (since they were taking very long in the back). May have been an off day or something she may be going through. Smoothie was not worth it at all..should have gone to booster juice or revitisize. Definitely will not return. Very clean inside, so they get credit for that!

My Sunday brunch was amazing! A little cozy cafe with Mexican fusion food with regular brunch options too. The food was very flavourful and we loved the Mexican fusion. The owner was very hospitable, she looked after every single guest. It felt like a family environment with very good food. We are definitely coming back to have dinner.

This hidden gem is a lovely addition to the neighbourhood. Specifically the Mexican breakfast options are diverse and delicious. Classic Mexican food as well as standard Canadian breakfast items that can be augmented with spices if you desire. Coffee refills and you can even change the flavour up, they have 3 or 4 flavours from a Columbian light to a Vanilla hazelnut. I even received a complimentary churro after my breakfast with friends with Dolcé de Leché that is crisp, light, and flavourful with cinnamon and sugar. I have eaten here quite a few times and it isnt large but the food is just great and I would recommend it on a leisurely weekend breakfast with friends or family, or even a coffee and sweet on a date. Kid-friendliness: Very homey and has booths for a degree of privacy for your children. Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get inside, on thr ground floor!

Young Cafe offers an average experience. The chorizo egg benedict was too mushy and runny, likely due to the guacamole underneath. The meat lovers omelette was tasty but arrived a bit cold. On a positive note, the Colombian roast brew was good, and free refills were a nice touch. Portions were generous, which is a plus. The cafe felt cramped with too many tables in a small space; the patio could improve this when it opens. The service was good, and the staff were friendly, which made up for some of the issues.

We ordered a take-home Christmas turkey dinner from Yonge Cafe and were very impressed! While the whole dinner of turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, salad, mashed potatoes and banana bread for desert was terrific, the turkey, cranberry sauce and banana bread deserves a special shout out. Not only did we enjoy skipping the cooking this year but our toughest clients - our two toddlers - devoured the turkey! Will keep this in mind for Easter and next Christmas.

We ordered blueberry pancakes and smoked salmon egg benedict with potatoes. Egg benedict taste was okay and it was warm thankfully, but pancake tasted like uncooked flour and it was cold. I never tasted like this in pancake before so I couldn t believe myself, so we tried a few more pieces, but its taste was actually bad. I requested a replacement, and waitress kindly replaced my order with another breakfast menu I selected - egg scramble, toast, salad, which was okay, but not the same quality you would get at a regular dine-in restaurant or food from home. Breakfast menu taste generally can t go bad, so I m thinking it s temperature and texture making differnece in its taste and quality. It didn t taste fresh, and warm rather it s taste was like precooked food to me, like cold mcdonald egg scramble.

They offer a few different varieties of coffee and free refills, and let you order a refill of any variety (although the coffee cups are nice and big so I didn t actually need a refill). The service was quick and friendly and the interior was very clean. I ll definitely come back to try the Mexican breakfast or their lunch specials!

Went for lunch and had the taco special. They were honestly incredible and some of the best Ive had in Toronto. Definitely remind me of tacos I had in Mexico. Highly recommend you check them out. Their other dishes looked really good as well. Service was super friendly.

What a service! The best brunch place in Willowdale neighborhood. Our server was so kind and nice. I havent had this level of service for a long time! Good elbow room at the patio area and fresh food. Only thing is my egg Benny was served little weird like one egg fall onto somewhere and sauce was not covered as you see at the last photo. But overall, I will definitely come back!

This place is a 10+. Biked over this morning and sat on their peaceful patio lined with colourful flowers. The service is outstanding - owners are welcoming and personable and clearly love what they do. The food was perfection and you will not find a similar menu anywhere! We had the chorizo eggs Benny - so unique and delicious! We paired with a sweet dish- banana bread French toast. Yes it s as delectable as it sounds! Covered in fresh bananas, blueberries and strawberries. If you have not been here yet, do yourself a favour and go on a Saturday or Sunday morning!

Its truly perplexing to observe the trajectory of this establishment. My initial encounter left me with a favorable impression harmonious ambiance, attentive service, and delectable cuisine seamlessly combined to create a positive experience. Yet, its regrettable to note that subsequent visits have borne witness to an unexpected decline in food quality, leading to disappointing outcomes. The proprietor, a genuinely affable individual, consistently demonstrates a vested interest in guest satisfaction, frequently engaging with patrons to glean their experiences. Given his evident commitment to the restaurants reputation, I am compelled to share a candid suggestion: an urgent focus on rectifying the waning food quality is imperative to prevent the erosion of patronage in favor of neighboring competition. In particular, an instance involving the eg Florentine dish stands out as emblematic of the regression. The presentation was marred by an unpleasant taste, while the English muffins arrived in a lamentably soggy and aged state. The accompanying potatoes further exacerbated the matter, characterized by an arid texture indicative of their staleness. While I express my desire that this commentary reaches the establishments attention, Im equally hopeful that they seize the opportunity to recalibrate their culinary offerings. A revitalized commitment to food quality would undoubtedly alter the narrative, potentially prompting a return visit that could elicit a more positive appraisal. Until such an evolution takes place, however, its regrettable to admit that I find it challenging to envision a circumstance that would prompt my return.

Good breakfast cafe restaurant with decent sized portions at reasonable prices. They have limited indoor seating, and mostly small tables. Food tastes good.

Time - Went there for breakfast/brunch around 10am. The place was nice and quiet (not crowded). Seating - Both inside and outside seating is available Options - They have various bread/panini options along with several salad bowls. They also had various drink options - juice, smoothie, coffee, tea etc. My order - I got everything bagel with cream cheese and a mango/pineapple smoothie. The bagel was fine, however the smoothie didnt feel like one. It was more of a juice? I didnt mind it, I just didnt taste the banana or yogurt (not sure what the smoothie part was?) Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options available

This place has a very cute patio in a quiet area. I was very excited to try this however we were basically forgotten. I had to ask for water twice and our food took an hour to arrive. The entire food was cold (eggs, fries and bread). This was for our entire group order (party of 3). I wanted to ask for salt and pepper, as well as ketchup but no one ever came to check on us and the food was already so cold, I couldn t bother to wait or go in. It was then a hassle to get the bill. We felt completely forgotten and disappointed in the food. We had to go in to ask for the bill and the person didn t even wait for us to pay. First time not providing a place with a tip. Incredibly disappointed. I don t recommend, save your money. Tim Hortons would provide better food.

Service was exceptionally slow. Waited 25 mins for my first $2.99 luke warm coffee (no refill) and another hour for my cold salmon eggs Benedict. The smoke salmon was pale and tasteless without any smoked flavour and they gave me 1 thin slice each on the English muffin. The cafe is a small sandwich place trying to serve a full breakfast, but they only had 1 chef cooking the egg dishes.as my friend has the omelette. However the poached eggs were already in a bath of cold water, precooked. The other chef cooked all the pancakes. Will not go back. Dont waste your money here. Total disappointment for a mama papa canteen. When one of the staff cleaned the table next to us, she sprayed Lysol all over the table and we ended up eating Lysol mist. So unprofessional and so unaware how to serve or behave.

This place is fantastic! It s family owned and they have some delicious items on their menu. On weekends they do brunchs and their chicken enchiladas and pancakes are amazing. They also serve halal chicken and beef, but be aware that not every item is halal so feel free to tell owner Elizebeth or one the other lovely staff your preferences and they will be sure to help you out. I ve been coming here for over a year and would typically order an egg salad sandwich or a grilled chicken and pesto panini. Absolutely recommend you check them out :)

Food is great but the wait for three salads was abysmal. We waited close to an hour for the salads. We were quite certain they just forgot about us because as soon as we noted our concern, it was out in 10 minutes. They could have at least given us a discount for the lengthy wait. Not sure if we will be back, but no complaints on the quality of the dishes itself.

We went for dine-in breakfast. I felt bad because its a fail. Cold coffee that they nuked to bring to temp after I complained. My wifes toasted bagel came 5 min after my Mexican breakfast. My breakfast was cold as well which was drenched tortilla chips in red tasteless tomato sauce with an abundance of cheese. I dislike negative reviews as most places have something to offer but if i have to look really hard, then maybe its not there. Dont microwave my coffee at a cafe FFS. I believe that Yonge Cafe and Bistro are trying but they should reevaluate because they can do better.

What a great place! We were attending a matinee at Meridian Centre and wanted somewhere to have brunch. Outside was cold and windy, and I didnt want to have to walk through it, so I did some research and found the underground parking ($6 flat on weekends) at 5000 Yonge, which has a tunnel to the Centre. We parked there, went up the elevator to enjoy a delicious brunch with magnificent pastries! Staff are very kind and owner Elisabeth is friendly and sweet - you can feel the love that she brings to this cafe. After brunch, we went back to the parking and through the tunnel to the Centre, never having to step out into the horrible weather. Because of that, we left our coats in the car, which made for a much more enjoyable brunch and performance. Yonge Cafe was convenient, tasty, friendly and affordable.
