My friend and I wanted to go to a cafe that was close to the Union station and open til late, so that we can drink coffee and catch up. We found this place on Google search and we had a great time!
We were happy that it was open til 8 p.m., as our work ends around 5 p.m. The name of the place was not very visible, so we missed it a few times. Finally, we found it and went inside.
A young man and a young lady greeted us when we entered. There were lots of yummy pastry goods and a good variety of cold and hot drinks available. We were not sure which pastry to order, so we asked for the young lady's help to narrow down our choices.
I got a pistachio lemon loaf (it was about the size of two stacked Mars bars, $4.50) and a small chai latte. My friend ordered the same pastry and a small tea. We enjoyed the loaf- it was lightly sweet, a hint of lemon and pistachio mixed with the softness of the loaf was lovely. We also enjoyed our drink, we wished that the size was larger. We ordered small drinks, but the amount that we got looked extra small. Considering that we paid over $4 for each drink, we were expecting more.
As other Yelpers mentioned, the price is steep- the pastry items start at $3.50 and drinks start at $3.75. If you're going to order a drink, go for a larger size as the size you'll get will be smaller than what you expect.
The patio is set up right outside, so we enjoyed our food and drink. Although we were in Toronto, we felt like we were far away for a few minutes! Check this place out the next time you're looking for a good place to sit, eat, and chat or relax.
