The coffee has a slightly acidic flavor, and the crema isn't as rich as expected, but it still tastes quite good. Their roasting and desserts are also quite nice. Plenty space for outside sitting.
Cute cafe near Riverdale park. The Matcha latte was good. Went again and stayed for a bit. Love the vibe of this place, it's very nice and quiet. The London fog and grilled cheese were both amazing.
Glad I find this little local café gem hidden in a beautiful neighbourhood. I was looking for some healthy in the morning and they have vegetarian and vegan breakfast sandwiches. It was quite busy, with lots of people coming in and out to get drinks and food. Even though it is a small cafe, people all sat outside with their pet enjoying the day while I have it whole indoor area by myself. Sandwich is good. Warm and hot once arrive in front of you. More portion will be great but it really has fresh ingredients and the balance of different layer of sauce and veggies are simple and yet delicious. Combining the atmosphere and food. It is a 5 star. Need to try their lunch sandwich next time. Looks good on other review
Truly awesome. There is an outside seating area and they have blankets on hand for a chilly evening. I am not sure about the accessibility because I never looked close. The friendly service was pleasant.
Lovely cafe besides a large park. Breakfast bagel sandwich and coffee were delicious and the eat in space is very comfortable. They had a great live music on Sunday morning and it was absolutely fantastic.
Great hidden gem coffee house. I almost walked past it when I noticed it was a cafe. So, I entered to get a hot Chai Latte. It was amazing. One of the best ones I had. Very affordable as well. The staff were welcoming and nice. The indoors was well decorated and looked cozy with sofa. I believe you can dine in with bakeries and food. Cafe gave me a very local vibe. I would go again to try a different drink and one of their signature food.
Wow, honestly the best lunch I've had in a long time! Really cute café lunch spot, it's right in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. We got the brussel sprouts kale Caesar, tuna niçoise, guiness bacon grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. The sandwiches came with a pretty tasty slaw and the salads were perfectly dressed with lots of yummy microgreens. Highly recommended, it's got a great patio and vibe as well! 5/5 stars hands down.
One of my absolute favorite lunch places to go to. Staff is always super nice, service is excellent and the food is always so good. I usually order the flaky spinach pastry and the cafe club sandwich with mint tea. Always consistent and always hits the spot when I really crave something healthy.
Great quality food and drinks, good prices and a lovely comfy atmosphere.
Great location wasted on a poorly run shop service is slow, pretentious, and they still phuck up the order because one airhead doesn t communicate to the other never again
Lovely neighborhood cafe with a cute patio - great place to read with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
Pretty good flat white and fabulous pumpkin scones.
Stopped by for the first time today on a busy mid afternoon rush. Not only were the baristas efficient, they were also so friendly and inviting - the coffee & treats were superb too!
Vegan breakfast sandwich is fantastic (and I am by no means vegan)! Vegetarian options: Herby chickpea mash breakfast sandwich YUM Food : 5/5 |
I love this place! A wonderful community gathering point, I always feel welcome. Food. And beverages are always great
Great pet friendly little spot,with delicious food and good staff. Will definitely come back
Riverdale Perk Cafe is a cozy gem in the neighborhood! The coffee is perfect, the treats are fresh and the staff are always so warm and welcoming!
Super cute cafe in a beautiful residential neighbourhood! Great coffee, sandwiches and baked goods.
Super cute and cozy coffee!! Amazing coffee
yummers!
Bring back the bacon grilled cheese and my money and five star food rating is yours forever! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian-owned business with great meals to accommodate veg-based diets. Was it worth losing the bacon grilled cheese? Your decision. But it wasnt.
Cute cafe, with lots of patio seating. Lots of locals and busy for lunch service. Salmon lox bagel was not bad but pretty small for $9. No wifi or outlets, so better to come when you don t need to stay for long.
So happy to have found this place. Atmosphere is cute and the location is really lovely. The best part was their kimchi grilled cheese sandwich (so on point). Its also way busier than I thought it might. I guess if you know you know. Cant wait to go back :)
Very cozy and warm safe.
Amazing! Great salads!
I love their cappuccino, any friend I have brought here as always loved this place as well. Its so cute, and their baked goods are great too
The place has a very good ambiance, the staffs are very nice, the food is above expectations.
This cafe is a nice resting spot during a hike or a working space during the day. It is located next to the park as well. Inside is a bit dark and crampy if you cant secure a place on the sofa. A variety of sweet stuff and some salad options are also available. Their coffee is strong. Prices are on the higher side.
Ive visited this little spot only once, but I went with my brother, who frequents the place. A genuine hello greeted us when we walked in the door. Ordering and paying was quick and seamless. Service on the patio was attentive and brisk. I had a bagel with lox, along with a black coffee as a late morning snack. It was terrific! I dont get down into the city too much these days, but if I find myself in the area again, I will definitely go back to this cool café.
Friendly staff and a great selection of food. The nicest thing was the cute, numbered painted rock that they used to track the order to your table. Its getting the small thing right which make the difference.
Small but nice! The breakfast offering is very limited (which is why unfortunately only 4 stars) but is of good quality.
beautiful cafe in a calm and peaceful neighborhood
I am very biased as you can tell. This little eatery serves food in a big way. Very homey, friendly service NOT pretentious at all. Great place for coffee and/or a treat, light lunch or meet-up from friends. Very near where I work .... hence the biased...but I honestly think you will love the homey vibe.
Love this place. I ve been going frequently ever since I had my daughter. The staff are so kind and lovely to us. It s also just such a homey and friendly place, I ve had lots of nice chats with other customers here too. Great coffee and food too of course.
Update on March 31, 2024 (7 years after my original review) - Still AMAZING! My two favourites on the lunch menu: Guinness Cheese & Bacon sandwich and the Crunchy Thai Bowl... standouts!! Support local Consistently fresh, tasty food, wonderful atmosphere and fabulous staff/service. Danielle (the owner) takes pride in everything they do, and it shows. A must visit when in Riverdale!
Pecan pie was good! Weve been there when there was a acoustic guitar performance which was great.
The apple Brie sandwich was delicious. Very cute cafe and great service
Great location , but the food is not good . Cold latte, cold pastry and bulky cake not pleased with My visit. Food
A local independent cafe with a great taste of food designed for those who are looking to enjoy some relaxing time sipping on a hot drink or eating a meal thats worth writing home about.
We were meeting up with a friend moving out of country for brunch and decided on this place because it opens early and has a good review. We met at 930am but the cafe was closed, did not follow the schedule at all (schedule + lights off as per attached photos). Winter, raining, drove all the way from Markham. I had to stand outside to look for an alternative. Within those 10mins I spent there at least 3 other groups of people came by and found the cafe closed. Very disappointing, should do a better job notifying customers its hours.
Great service, great food and drink. Clean toilet.
Im thrilled to share my experience at our local coffee shop! Their chocolate cookies are an absolute delight, with a perfect balance of rich cocoa flavor and a soft, chewy texture thats simply irresistible. The pack of homemade cookies was a true delight! Its a wonderful feeling to have such yummy homemade cookies conveniently available in a pack. The coffee shops spacious patio added to my enjoyable experience. Its both nice and generously sized, providing a wonderful outdoor setting to savor my treats while soaking in the atmosphere.
Had a lunch here with my son. I had the smoked salmon sandwich and a delightful sweet potato soup with some heat. My son had the turkey sandwich with the soup and a latte. Everything was delicious, reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was very cozy on a cold winter day. Highly recommend.
I had a mochaccino and spinach snack. It was good. I also had a bagel belt another time and it was also good. Whenever I passed by I pop in.
The last cafe I had the chance to try during my exploration of Leslieville. It did not disappoint! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the coffee and breakfast were superb and affordable I also enjoyed that it s located away from the busy streets. I highly recommend this coffee shop.
Excellent local cafe for lunch, offering delicious sandwiches and coffee drinks. Great patio.
Easy menu, and coffees were so good. I love to have breakfast out, but this coffee was exceptionally great. Staff friendly to everyone and enjoy the neighbourhood feel.
Amazing dirty Chai latte with reasonable pricing! I also love their grilled cheese. This spot is a definite highlight of the neighbourhood, I would stop here everyday if I could :)
The turkey avocado and tahini ranch sandwich was awesome, will definitely be coming back for another one
Beautiful coffee and food. Nice and sweet
Standard cafe offerings, small space, and the food took a while. It was located close to the place I stayed at while visiting town, so definitely convenient. The sandwich (egg, greens, tomato, on a wheat bagel) was fine, the dirty chai was definitely the star of the show but probably not to go out of your way for.
Nice atmosphere, and the flat white was great.
Great sandwiches excellent staff
Decent prices for coffee and lattes. Very tasty, extremely friendly staff and a nice area outside for seating. Very nice spot
The place is really nice. A perfect coffee shop to spend the afternoon after a walk in the park, or to unwind between meetings.
Great coffee, amazing sandwiches and really nice staff! Also loved the atmosphere and music there. Had a great time :)
Its a nice cafe and I enjoy the environment.
Awful people running this place don t work for them they are mean spirited and insensitive and are very selfish.
Had an incredible sandwich here. So good
Enjoyed popup Mothers Day special brunch. Both the Perk Eggs Benedict and Caramelized Leeks and Eggs were awesome
Nice place and friendly staffs
Cute little breakfast spot tucked into a quiet neighborhood just off the main road. Kid and dog friendly! Vegetarian options: I had the breakfast bagel that had cheese and veggies in it. Dietary restrictions: My partner is lactose intolerant and requested there be no cheese on his breakfast bagel and they were happy to make that accommodation Parking: I would assume most patrons of this cafe are in the neighborhood so are in walking / bicycling radius. Parking is residential street. Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids around and eating on the patio with their parents! But definitely not overrun lol
Really cool cafe in this lovely neighbourhood. Highly recommend their raspberries & superfood energy bites.
Such a cute and cozy place. Really perfect for a coffee date or a quick lunch. While my sister was not as impressed with her grown-up grilled cheese (she found it dull), I loved my tempeh sandwich! It can get busy here so seating is at a premium but takeaway is always an option :)
Can you believe that I found this little hidden gem, on a whim? I have been twice so far and plan to come back to eat through the menu! The food offerings are inventive, flavourful and so fresh, with plenty of healthy options. I used to work in Hospitality, so, I know some stuff. The vibe is neighbourhood café and the place is so humble and unassuming, your meal is served on vintage plates and the seating area has well worn furniture. Prices are very reasonable for the level of quality you get. Service is professional and the place is well staffed. First visit I had the smoked salmon sandwich and cup of Moroccan style soup, both delish, I came with a friend and they claim to be another future patron. The second time l had the deconstructed sushi bowl and brought another friend to show off my restaurant choosing prowess, they had the turkey and avo sammich and they too were very impressed. Thanks for being around Riverdale Perk and giving me renewed hope that Toronto restaurant offerings are not just sous vide vomitous garbage.
Never disappoints every time I visit I get friendly service and the new breakfast sandwich is delicious
Turkey Apple and Brie Sandwich - bread was nicely toasted, turkey and apple complimented well with e/o, but felt like there was too much mayo based sauce. Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts!
Delicious decaf coffee oatmeal cookies are so so yummy .
Great location, coffee, ambiance and food.
t was aight
Prices inconsistent. I order the same coffee everyday and the price changes. I get charged extra for lots of oat milk, but the price doesn t get reduced for a decaf americano with one shot even though the regular is 2 shots of espresso.
Fantastic spot to get a bite to eat - prices are incredibly reasonable and it needs more hype and business to keep it that way. It s also a stone s throw from Riverdale east park, so it s great to grab something to go. The sandwiches are amazing - not pictured is the grilled cheese, because it may or may not have been inhaled immediately.
Good food. Good coffee. Nice staff. Food : 5/5
The coffee is good and the staff is nice but they don t have wifi :(
Cozy local café with daily soup, pastries, great coffee and decor.
Love this cafe. great people and doggie watching . Staff is lovely. Food is yummy Very cute place to visit if your strolling the neighborhood Food
Staff are rude and unfriendly - after turning a blind eye on multiple occasions I ve finally decided not to return. Too bad a neighbourhood spot can t treat the neighbours that support them with kindness
An adorable restaurant in East York. I love it with all my heart, and fell in love with my first look onto the menu. Its mid-price range but for a local restaurant that makes sure the food is quality, its well worth. Their bowls are decent sizes and their sandwich was enough for a lunch for me. Their staff is all very friendly, and the area it is in makes it the best spot for a late summer sit-down. Going here again for sure. Vegetarian options: Have a bunch ofenu options that are vegetarian and not bland in the slightest! No vegetarian option that is just a random assortment of unseasoned veggies. No, they have dressings on their salad bowls and amazing flavor combinations on their sandwiches. Kid-friendliness: A cute neighbourhood Cafe, where if your kids enjoy a little sit-down, Id take them. My little siblings enjoyed it, although theyre not a very young child anymore. Wheelchair accessibility: Im not sure how easily accessible the doorway is, as I dont have a wheelchair myself, but there is a ramp and even an outdoor section. With their attentive staff Im sure itll be just fine.
Great atmosphere and food.
Worth a visit but definitely not one of the top coffee shops in the city. Boutique place with mediocre coffee and decent pricing.
Cute neighborhood spot. I d go more often but there s no wifi and they re surprisingly expensive. We went for a quick lunch (one salad, one sandwich and two coffees ran us $50+).
Hidden gem!
The place looked very cute online and lived up to that in person! Had an amazing sandwich, tasty, unique, and surprisingly good value. Im looking forward to try the rest
Just a fabulous coffee shop with excellent food all home made and home baked The chocolate cookies are a must Soups and Sandis round out daily fpevials which are the best. They know what I want to eat Think Local, be local, eat local Love it! Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from Parking: Street parking but all the locals walk but usually a spot easy to find on Riverdale
Great food!
This little local gem of a café is located right in the heart of a beautiful neighbourhood. It was quite busy, with lots of people coming and going to get drinks and bites, and be aware that is a small place, so there is not much inside seating. They do have some outdoor seating options on nice days! My wonderful friend took me here to her local spot, and it is so cute! The interior is nicely decorated with wooden furniture and pillows. The tables were decorated with small flower bundles and painted rocks. They have a large selection of coffees, teas, savoury and sweet dishes. The baristas were lovely and hard at work at the main counter. I got their lemonade made in-house, and it was delightful. We both got their Grown Up Grilled Cheese , at the recommendation of my friend. It was delicious and very healthy! It had an egg, avocado, mayo, pea shoots, onions and a light, melty cheese inside. I need to come back and try some of their available pastries! A cute, local spot with top-notch, fairly priced café faire. Vegetarian options: They have many vegetarian options on their menu. Kid-friendliness: This café is a super cute place to take your kids to get both some healthy and sweet bites!
Stopped in randomly and will definitely come back! Its a quiet cafe with a great selection of tasty food and drinks. The staff and service are great!
Wow! Placed an online order for their New Year s Day pyjama pick up brunch and boy did it not disappoint! Everything was sooooo delicious! Great way to start out in 2022! Only photo I have is of the last bite of the French toast because it was just too good!
We stopped here for lunch and it was delicious - got a soup and quinoa bowl. Super tasty and a refreshing option for lunch. It reminded us of healthy cafes in LA. There s also a nice park nearby to eat in the summer. Worth the detour, we will be back!
The coffee is okay but I cant comment on much else considering they do not serve any food I can eat. Being a cafe in a big city and in trendy neighborhood in 2022 I expect more...
5 stars for the service and the Guinness grilled cheese!
A lovely location, very Instagram friendly. However, the sandwich - smoked turkey with brie and chestnut - was disappointing. Bland, a little dry and didnt particularly taste like anything. The chocolate, caramel and salt dessert bar was okay. Unfortunately not to My taste but thats a personal preference. Hopefully the other menu items are tastier and today was just an off day.
First time visitor. Excellent selection of goodies. I had hot chocolate. Nice seating areas
My friends and I had such a great experience in this lively cafe, tucked into the Riverdale neighbourhood. It was super packed and busy but we managed to dine in. We got the smoked salmon sandwich, a lunch bowl, carrot cake, vanilla cupcake, spinach feta pastry, and salted caramel hot chocolate. Everything was so delicious but I would opt out of the lunch bowl next time since it wasnt filling or flavourful. I recommend their sandwiches, carrot cake, pastries and hot chocolate. I look forward to visiting again and trying out other items :)
Nice local coffee shop in the heart of Leslieville. The staff is really kind and welcoming
Cute little neighborhood hangout place. Lovely staff and good coffee
They discriminate people that are exempt from masks. Not giving them my money
They need to get wifi! It s 2022.
Wonderful owner! Great food and coffee. Safe, clean and warm atmosphere. Great community spot to spend time at :)
Amazing food!
Fab local Java spot
What a beautiful neighbourhood spot to enjoy the sun and have a delicious coffee and a snack! I wish they would use environmentally friendly cutlery.
Definitely one of the nicest cafés we have been too. Nestled and tucked into a nice neighborhood in toronto. Patio is real nice as well. Espressos are clutch here. But the pastries are a must !
Given the location and vibe you d assume this place is friendly and welcoming , unfortunately we found the experience to be the opposite and unwelcoming for kids also. On a play-date with two 6yos- we needed an extra plastic cup and straw (we split 1 iced choc between the two kids) but my wife was told that wasn t possible (???) and only an extra paper cup was provided. Of course tears ensued as the child without the straw and plastic cup wasn t happy - so I went back inside to ask for a plastic cup with a straw, which I begrudgingly received only to be told I would need to pay for a plastic cup next time I asked! Fortunately for everyone involved, there won t be a next time as we won t be back anytime soon. I understand running a small business is tough and expenses are high, but causing kids to cry isn t cool. This place doesn t have milkshakes either. We did also have an iced coffee, brownie and croissant. They were ok but were soured by the above experience.
Not sure, about take out or delivery but everything there taste good.
Great coffee! Nice friendly service. Still pretty much the same, but dont have ice coffee which is a shame in the summer
Cute corner coffee shop next to Withrow park
Bad coffee, RUDE staff, and super unfriendly spot. @Managment: be more selective before hiring bunch of entitled kids that are ONLY good at helping you lose customers and taking orders late (they took my order after waiting for 10 min just watching them chat and giggle), and oh did I mention being super rude to their elderly? Not going back again. The food is not good enough to have such disrespectful service. Shmooz cafe is around the corner, they have the best and nicest staff there and their coffee (and Salads) are way better. Bye bye Riverdale Perk, hello Shmooz
Very poorly managed. Overrated food, employees are extremely sensitive and rude.
I went there on a Sunday 11 am hoping to taste their famous grilled cheese that I thought was available because I saw in the menu that s was hanging on the wall. However when ordered I was told that because it was Sunday morning they only had two options of bagels . I was fine with that, then I also saw on the menu that they had turmeric latte. When I ordered they said they were not making it on Sunday . The bagel was fine but what s the point of having a menu of you are not serving what s in it? The smoked salmon bagel I had was fine but not a gastronomic experience. You can get that anywhere else.
Hair from like a sweater was all over my Lemon square
Place is nice and quite. Easy for me to park on a Saturday afternoon
Visited a few times. A small neighborhood cafe. Cold iced tea and luke-warm staff.
Still kicking and a wonderful respite in this day in age! If youre looking for a place to get away from the everyday the Riverdale perk is quite good is located just south of several major parks and easily reachable by bike. The food here is exquisite and definitely worth visiting coffee here is decent as well. They have quite a few desserts and other meal options. Please note: No Wifi! Otherwise the price point is a bit high but the food and the experience makes up for it.
Lovely neighbourhood spot just steps south from Withrow Park with friendly staff and cute patio. I had the daily lemonade, falafel sandwich and raspberry coconut cake, all delicious and fresh tasting, would definitely come back!
I had to throw my Americano away. I asked for a certain amount of cream. She said she gave it but the coffee was bitter and very brown. Its happened 3 x. She just doesnt listen. Not going back.
Nice place, friendly staff and a good breakfast. Everything OK
Best Kale salad I have ever had.
Wretched overpriced food. Surly service. Avoid if possible.
Love love love this cafe. Great selection of baked goods and a nice menu with salads, bowls, and sandwiches for more substantial fare. Friendly and quick service and a great patio thats tough to beat. I really wish we had more cafes like the Riverdale Perk in Toronto.
The service was great and the food was delicious. As a recommendation, double check your order. They forgot to add the soup onto my order and made my latte with regular milk rather than almond milk. Otherwise, I d come again!
Standard coffee shop fair. Coffee is not notably good, and food options are interesting but expensive. However, they dont have wifi, so it fails to be a place you can go work. Great for a meeting place, but poor if you want a away office. Atmosphere is cozy.
Good place to grab a coffee and chat with your friends. Very family friendly You dont have to miss the pain au chocolat is delicious! If its warm is a pleasure! Food : 5/5
Great little patio to enjoy your coffee outdoors, and also indoor seating (and couch seating) available. Recommend the matcha latte with oat milk they have the usual cafe fare; small bites like loaves and muffins.
This place is so adorable and delicious and had such a strong sense of community as it was buzzing with locals and even the local fire department stopped by with their big truck to pick up coffees. Their lunch menu also looks impressive. Highly recommend if in the area.
I fell in love with this hidden little gem. As the owner states in the Cafés website, I can attest for their care and pride in the quality and freshness of the ingredients in their food. Simple menu but very well done. Nice variety of pastries, sweets and cookies; and even bigger variety of coffee, teas and drinks. We tried the brunch bagel sandwiches and some of the sweet treats/pastries, plus coffee and the warm cider, and everything tasted really good. And surprisingly very reasonable prices for such good quality! Special shout out to the lime pistachio chocolate bar. As a chef myself I was skeptical with the mix of lime and chocolate flavors. but you nailed it with perfection just a subtle hint of lime to brighten up the richness of the chocolate and nutty pistachio, really amazing I wont forget that! Ill be back for more!
The staff is great and the drinks are amazing! I had always been curious about visiting this place after so many walkings around this area, I live in East York. However it was very disappointing to hear that we as costumers cant use their Wifi, even though its obvious they have Wifi signal at their business. Kind of sad they lie to their costumers like this (specially in this local shops were many of us like to discover and have a good time while working at our computers) Obviously I wont come back, however I will have a nice image of the facade of this place because it looks very cute outside and the staff members are very friendly too! (ofc, they Wifi decision is not up to them, but the manager or owner)
Absolutely adorable cafe with friendly staff and tasty food. Ive tried a couple of their sandwiches and the Thai crunch bowl - big portions and so tasty. There is a bit of a wait for food, but they have a cute restaurant and patio to hang out at for a leisurely meal. Highly recommend.
Good service, nice place to relax and get away from it all.
good experience in this cafe.
I ordered the oven roasted turkey sandwich and it was amazing! The perfect amount of melted brie so tasty and my london fog latte was delicious with the recommended lavender earl grey tea. Will go again
The lattes here are yum !!!
Really nice little cafe that I stumbled into during a walk - low key and classic options, much prefered over any chain spots in the area
There is no consistency when it comes to the food quality. Sometimes it is very flavorful and other times it is completely bland and tasteless. Ordered the Goddess salad today, it tasted like there was no dressing on it. When I went back to complain they informed me that it always tastes like this. I respectfully have to disagree. I have had good versions of the Goddess salad from there and today was not it.
Got their flat white on a rainy day! Cute and cozy little cafe near the riverdale park.
A nice little neighbourhood café situated on a residential street corner. The coffee is of good quality and tasty and their daily selection of pastries is both fresh and tasty. They have a limited but varied menu of café food...soups and sandwiches... which are also very good. Staff are friendly, attentive and pleasant and the cliental is usually very neighbourly. There is eclectic indoor seating (with a wood burning stove for those snowy morning coffees) and there is café table seating outside seasonally. The outside seating is facing south and west so can be warm in the sun on moderate winter days. Parking is on the nearby residential streets and can be limited. A nice place to grab a good coffee in a quite setting.
Cute local cafe with delicious treats. Friendly staff, yummy food, great coffee. Delicious!
Great cup of coffee
Lovely atmosphere and excellent coffee and sandwiches.
Perfectly situated in the Riverdale neighbourhood within steps of Withrow Park and The Danforth is this lovely cafe. The soups and sandwiches are delicious, check them out on their IG. A wide selection of coffee, tea, lattes, plus an array of fresh baked goods.
3.5 stars - I loved this spot for weekend brunch (pre-COVID) but after a few so so experiences on weekdays I have mixed feelings. A bit pricy and not always efficient. Soup is not worth $8-9
Loved our morning coffee at this warm local cafe. They also have locally sourced products for sale! Pastries, maple syrup, coffee, tea, kombucha, and more.
The falafel sandwich and soup of the day (carrot) was delicious and well priced.
I had a medium late. Coffee and snack its very good.
Delicious savoury and sweet treats. Safe process. Decent wait time!
We took veggie sandwich, falafel sandwich and Chaat masala bowl. All were very tasty and price was good. The customer service was also good. It s in a quite neighborhood, food is good, desserts are awesome too. You can find cold drinks here too.
This place is nestled into one of my favourite neighborhoods, and has a lovely patio! Tasty little sandwiches and treats, just has tons of charm. Worth the mini wait on weekends, and really efficient!
Best coffee and smoked salmon sandwich in Riverdale with the friendliest staff! Highly recommend!
My favourite coffee shop in the neighbourhood.
We really wanted to like it because of the location and incredible cuteness, but even getting a drinks to go has been such a slow and fairly unpleasant experience.
This is our local cafe and we go there very often but my friends and I will not be returning anytime soon due to the incident that occurred on the long weekend. We were quite surprised/insulted with the way our issue was dealt with. Myself, my two other friends and our 3 girls had planned our day with the local Withrow park and the cafe for a picnic lunch. We ordered our food $100 ish for all 3 families in total. We left, we ate and enjoyed our food and drinks as usual in the park. My friend needed to use the washroom, decided instead of using the park washroom said she would go back to the cafe and ask to use the washroom as we were just there an hour ago and it was in closer proximity. The clerk answered oh sorry the washroom is only for those eating on pour patio this is covid protocol. My friend was shocked and we were shocked when she came back telling us about the covid protocol. How does this make any sense? We just spent over $100 and we cant use your washroom (1 person) but I can go back and get a measly drink for less than $5 and sit on your patio for 5 minutes then I can use your washroom really? My friend then got home and contacted the head manager and even the manager stated that her employees were just following protocols. It was clear from her email responses that she was not bothered with my friends concerns simply brushing her off with its protocols and call me to further discuss. Discuss what? As local and frequent clients of this cafe we have all decided to not return there and have shared our experience with others as well due to this unfortunate time there. This is the first google review that I submit that is a 1 star and in my local community such a shame. We truly understand that these are difficult times at the moment with all these rules to be followed and that is completely okay but the small issue as a whole in our opinion did not make any sense!!!
Great new place in the neighborhood. Good service, nice variety, and great company.
Just a walking distance from the Withrow Park, this a great place, a gem with delicious treats and awesome brunch menu. Perfect for any weekend.
Wonderful little cafe in Riverdale! The food is super tasty without being overly heavy. The spicy kale Cesar salad and the grown up grilled cheese are both super unique and the portion sizes are very generous.
The perfect patio for lunches! Their food is delicious!
Decent priced, nice coffee, sit down space available. Need better to-go cups
Local place to get relatively good coffee and some healthy snacks
Had a lovely lunch there!
good spot for coffee chat
My most local of local coffee shops. Its worth stopping in if youre passing through or visiting Withrow park.
a neighbourhood gem. A great spot for coffee and a scone. But their lunches are fabulous too. The sandwiches and salads are fresh and delicious. Here are the Falafel sandwich and Salade Nicoise.
Came here to get some breakfast and it s a cute coffee shop on Logan street. Their spinach and feta pastry is a must try. The crust was so buttery, flaky and crispy. It was so good!
Best neighbourhood Cafe in Toronto!
This is my fave coffee shop in Toronto! The owner is super nice and the coffee and food are on point. The tempeh BLT is my favourite sandwich ever. Also cozy to sit in/work in (when its not COVID).
