Expansive menu, stylishly designed interiors, quick service. Pleased to see they had genmaicha tea on the menu and doubly pleased that the rice flavour came across strongly. Also added a dark chocolate cookie which was pretty tasty though a tad small. They have an interesting no laptop rule at certain times and tables, so may he going for a community social vibe. Overall, an elevated coffee shop experience.

The service was absolutely wonderful the staff were kind, friendly, and made the experience feel warm and welcoming. The coffee was quite good, though the pastry wasn’t quite to my taste. Still, I’d definitely go back and try something different next time. The atmosphere and hospitality make it worth another visit!

Love this space! Coffee was great , no complaint. However, I was very excited to try their matcha cookie that day but it was a little hard, felt empty when I tried to bite down on it ( if that makes sense). Im not sure if they bake their cookies the day of, but definitely different than the ones I had.

Any café with decaf options automatically gets 5 stars from me. I ordered a decaf cappuccino. Foam was nice and fluffy, though the taste leaned a bit bitter. On a gloomy, cold late-May afternoon in Toronto, this place is perfect for curling up with a book. Love the sign on the big shared tables that says no laptops—though the tiny solo tables allow them (but they’re pretty uncomfortable, which feels like a subtle way of saying: don’t linger too long!).

Such a lovely spot for coffee and dessert! ☕🍰 The pastries were absolutely delicious, the coffee was rich and smooth, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I loved the interior design — cozy, stylish, and perfect for a little break or catching up with friends. Highly recommend! 💛

One of the best places to have coffee with your friends, complete college assignments, or work peacefully. Try their Matcha Cream Cookie Choux or Cookie Choux you won't be disappointed. I liked their vanilla coffee as well. So it's must go place to enjoy your coffee and pastry.

Very hip coffee bar in downtown Toronto. Super vibe and the place was packed. Amazing coffee and food options. Very great presentation. The service was...stuffy. Rude and pretentious. Extremely unhelpful. At the end of the day, just the space and the food and coffee still keeps this at a 4 star.

Neo Cafe is a great spot for coffee and pastries. Their matcha cream puff is crispy, light, and filled with smooth, flavorful matcha cream, just the right balance of sweet and bitter. Paired with a rich espresso, it’s a perfect treat. Cozy atmosphere and beautifully presented desserts.

Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab a hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

Chic spot on bay and college, which I have visited a few times. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. The inside has a peaceful ambiance, with approximately 10, 2 person tables (note the tables are quite small). There are several Japanese and French inspired baked goods to chose from. I've only ever ordered coffee and plain croissants. Both are delicious, especially the croissant; it's flaky, buttery, and moist on the inside. Service is efficient and quick. The only thing I would note is that Neo is pricey; the plain croissant is a little over $5 with tax.

This location was around the corner from my air b and b, so convenient. There's outdoor seating that's covering for when it rains which it did and indoor seating as well. I stopped here everyday of my trip. A very cute coffee shop. I ordered the vanilla latte iced and hot. There were milk alternatives which is great. The hot vanilla latte was more flavorful than the iced. The almond croissant was to die for, so fluffy and delicious: I wish I could buy them in bulk. I liked being able to watch the baker in the back. The staff here were so nice. I'd definitely recommended coming her. They only take card here.

Such a popular cafe! Sometimes when I walk past this place, I can see at least 3/4 of the tables are occupied with people working or enjoying a drink. I came here 2-3 times already. I ordered an iced vanilla latte for here and it was good, strong espresso flavour and the syrup was not too sweet either. Matcha latte was good as well. A warning is that if you want to being your laptop to work, they do have hours where laptops/devices are not allowed so it's good to check in before ordering because that happened to us. Ambiance is very nice with ample seating.

Neo is a Japanese inspired coffee shop. I love their lattes but their match, not so much. Its a pretty busy coffee shop, the other location in Corktown is slightly more spacious!

Love the ambiance in this Japanese coffee shop. Service is quick even though the place is usually busy. Plenty of seating inside and outside during patio season. Everything is clean and it's a nice place to catch up with friends, get some work done or just enjoy the coffee culture. Haven't tried the food or pastries yet but I will be back for those next time! the roll cakes and mochi look good!

This bright and modern cafe has the best matcha products. From their matcha lattes, muffins, cookies to their matcha cream cookie choux! I always like trying their different seasonal roll cakes as well, so light and airy. There is a good amount of seating, but this cafe is always packed and the seats are quite close together.

Genmaicha( roasted brown rice green tea) Latte(hot) was thick, had so much fresh green tea flavour, smooth and nutty. Not sure what brand of milk they use but it tasted so much better than milk in other latte. Matcha mochi dough was somewhat chewy but red bean stuffing was excellent. Great little dessert/snack to go with hot beverages! I realized after that I should have tried their cream puffs! Next time! Seating area (the right side from the entrance) was awkward and uncomfortable. Small table barely accommodated two peoples' hot beverages and dessert, seats with back support did not seem to be aligned properly with a little table, so I ended up moving to the hard chair which was not too comfortable.I heard King street location has way better seating area? Anyways I highly recommend their green tea beverages!

Neo coffee bar is a cafe known for french-japanese fusion baked goods and desserts. They serve a range of coffee, teas, zero caffeine cafe drinks like sparkling juices. They also have some bistro items like sandwiches on their menu. Historically, they were only open from early morning to late afternoon. Now, it seems they've extended their hours to offer alcohol in the evenings. I used to come here a few times per week to pass time before I headed off to work nearby. At 7am on weekdays, you can expect minimal people dining in and a few guests flowing in and out to get their morning coffee. It's a great quiet atmosphere (with the exception of staff and coffee machine background noises), perfect for when you need to get some work or studying done or read a book or if you simply just want to take the time to be present. They have ~12 2-person tables along their walls, a large table on the far end of the cafe, and during warmer weather, they have a dedicated outdoor patio with ~8 2-person tables. Their interior decor is modern, natural, and minimalist. It's a pretty place to be. Their service is friendly, nothing outstanding. They have an accessible unisex washroom that is clean but a little unkept. What always made me come back was when I discovered that if you order one of the Japanese teas HOT and for dine in, they serve it in a fancy schmancy clear glass tea pitcher with a tea cup on the side. The tea is supposed to give you enough for 2-3 cups. (I clearly remember it being 3 cups yet this current visit, it's only 2 cups.........shrinkflation??) It always makes me feel so special and helps add to the start of my day. What I never liked: the morning selection of pastries never changes. They also don't have any other food items available other than the usual: breakfast cookie, matcha white chocolate cookie, ~4 types of croissant (plain butter, seasonal flavour, almond croissant, croissant sandwich). Also, I've tried their sandwiches and even though the fillings are generous, it's salty, which I feel just cancels the whole dish out from being good. I also don't like how they implemented the no laptop policy (even though I rarely work there with my laptop lol). While I get why, I feel like they should've capitalized on people's money instead and offered dining limits unless you pay every hour like an internet cafe lol. I loved this cafe because they didn't care much as long as you pay. It's hard to find cafes or anywhere to sit with a plug and wifi, even if you're willing to pay for the time spent staying there. Anyway, my go-to: the gyokuro kabusecha hot tea paired with one of their pastries. The kabusecha has a strong umami flavour that cuts through the richness of the pastries without overpowering it. Overall, I'd return because it's one of very few cafes in the area open at 7am but it's no longer a top or recommended choice.

Favourite coffee shop! I always come here to satisfy my match latte cravings. I love the ambiance. I appreciate that they have no tablet/computer times during the evenings and weekends. The staff are always friendly.

Got some of their teas. Would recommend their lattes (matcha latte in particular) over their plain teas. Pros: + Drinks are good, not too sweet. + There's also food. + Decent amount of seating and outdoor seating in the summer. + Clean interior. Cons: - Some of the seating is a bit strange.

Neo is a beautiful coffee bar with an unique array of selections; including Japanese inspired pastries, mochi and drinks. The space is beautifully lit with natural lights with large communal table by the window. My colleagues and I adore their espressos and Hojicha latte. My favourite drink is Neo's authentic Hojicha powder from Kyoto with foamy oat milk. Neo Coffee Bar is the perfect space to visit for an afternoon pick-me-upper.

There aren't many places I'll confidently order a matcha drink from but Neo will always be a tried and true for me. I love this location way more than the OG Frederick one. In addition to the outdoor seating, the interior is much more spacious and much easier to grab a table on a weekend. Not to mention, it's much easier to find parking, especially for it being in the core! Baristas are friendly and knowledgeable as usual; great service is almost always a given with Neo! I normally go for their cookies but this time, the blackberry & blueberry muffin caught my eye. The muffin was on the sweeter side but pairs well with a good, unsweetened drink. The crumbly top was the best part! You really can't go wrong with anything here.

Wifey found this spot over the weekend. I found it strange that many coffee shops (besides Timmy's) were not open yet at 8 am on a Saturday morning. I'm glad we found Neo, because I needed caffeine. I got it in the form of matcha. They have a few different types of Japanese tea (Matcha, Hojicha, Sencha and Genmaicha). My matcha was good, but I enjoyed my wife's genmaicha even more. It was rich and had a toasted grainy-ness that gave it good depth of flavor. The coffee shop itself if bright, modern and minimalistic with a decent amount of outdoor seating. I would return.

One of my favourite cafes in town! I love their matcha latte AND you can substitute lactose free milk/oat milk/almond milk FREE of charge! Their yuzu lemonade is super refreshing for the summer, so I highly recommend trying this drink as well! Staff are super nice. However, you can only use the wifi for an hour here :(

Slick, beautifully designed coffee bar in downtown Toronto. The decor is truly what makes is stand out, but the espresso drinks are superb and the pastries are freshly made in-house. Their espresso has a slightly bitter flavor which dovetails well with oat milk. While I loved the setting, many of the tables were too small to fit 2 coffees and 2 pastries. The indoor seating is quite crammed during busy times. And their wifi cuts out completely after 1 hour. Unfortunately during our visit one of the machines was being repaired as well, so it was extremely noisy as the technician was banging away to fix it.

They are jerks about opening your laptop, and treat such behavior with the urgency and intransigence that a flight attendant might treat an unruly passenger in the middle of a landing. No tolerance for saving work or finishing a drink. But of course: - Because they don't want to drive away business people, you *can* open your laptop only at certain times of day. - They don't advertise any of this silliness on their website. - The place is filled with everyone looking at their phones. Seriously, loosen up. And don't put so much ice in your lattes. * Typed on my laptop from Balzac's, just around the corner. Very flavorful.

Perfect location for meeting colleagues and friends, in the middle of the downtown core, directly across the street from College Park! Coffees and lattes are made to order, with fresh ground beans and whipped milk. Super delicious!

I have always been a fan of Neo. Their baked goods are all so good, their coffee drinks are always on point, and they also have unique drinks with a Japanese inspiration. We used to go to their King East location often, but we've been frequenting this location a little more now because of weekly appointments in the area. It's a popular spot during weekdays and the weekends. The price point is a little higher than your Starbucks, but you get great quality coffee drinks and treats. Good for: coffee/tea, snacks

Tried their matcha latte. I am sorry to say, this matcha latte cant match up to the arabica matcha latte at union station. The matcha in this one is not as rich as I wanted. I also got the london fog roll cake. I found the cream was a bit grainy?! Then the hojicha cheese cake was too crumbly?! I think their regular latte taste alright. I am not sure if i want to get their cake slices again.

Now I know why this place always has a steady stream of people coming in. I love matcha and was very excited to see their extensive matcha menu. Their matcha tea is made well with high quality matcha, though it could've used less water for a deeper matcha flavor (just my preference). The matcha white choco cookie has a beautiful harmony of both matcha and butter flavor, and it has a softer shortbread texture. Overall, I'm a fan and am looking forward to coming more often.

Really enjoyed the cozy modern atmosphere that Neo provided. Offering a lot of unique drinks, I opted for a black sesame hojicha latte, which was sweeter than I preferred, hence the deducted star, but overall the flsvours were quite nice as it was creamy and well tempered with the milk. I would like a more robust black sesame and hojicha note though. Otherwise, the pastries and cake looks delicious, and I would love to try their coffee. Given the amazing atmosphere, I wouldn't mind coming back to try their coffee and food. It's quite a popular spot.

My favourite matcha latte and favourite cafe in downtown Toronto! They also offer some Japanese inspired bites like matcha cookies or roll cakes. It's a peaceful place to sit and work if you can snag a spot inside, or outside on a nice day.

I absolutely love Neo's matcha, houjicha, and coffee drinks. This weekend is their customer appreciation week so you get 25% off entire in store purchase! They usually have some weekly or monthly deal on baked goods or drinks as well on their online ordering platform. They reopened their seating area and it is busyyyy. So our crew got take away drinks. Their matcha and houjicha lattes use a rich tea powder and you can also ask for less sweet or no sugar as well. I tried their seasonal special: kurogoma houjicha which has a fixed sugar level and is a black sesame houjicha blend. It was not overly sweet and I loved how it was so aromatic and heavenly. Definitely give it a try! Their lattes, flat whites, Americans are great and if you get their normal drip coffee you can collect stamps too. They have a decent selection of pastries, cookies, desserts and sandos but tend to sell out later in the day. Their yuzu egg salad sandwich is a little lacklustre and I probably would not get it again because it was so messy eating it and I personally do not really taste any yuzu flavouring. Their croissants and cookies, on the other hand, are a must get! In the morning the buttery scent is all over the store. Many layers of buttery flakiness in the croissants and the price is pretty decent as well. Don't think, walk here and grab something!

Really liked this place and have been a loyal customer during the pandemic. However, after raising concerns to the staff 3 times (plus my husband did the same several times) over sudden consistent burning of their very expensive tiny matcha muffins I am leaving this negative review here in hope that this will get their attention. The last time I discussed this issue when I saw yet another time all the batch burnt, they told me that's normal. I said that this negatively impacts the taste - they are dry and burnt. But my concern was yet again ignored. After a month of coming every day just to find them burnt yet again, I am giving up on this place.

This is my go to coffee shop! Lots of natural light from the floor to ceiling glass windows. They have one big communal working table and all around the edge are benches with small circular tables. The food here is superb! They have a wide range of treats from muffins, cookies, rolls, puffs, cakes to savoury sandwiches. This location is bigger than the original Fredrick location but keeps a very high standard. I come here to work and do coffee chats.

It was my first time coming to Neo! I actually came to study and feel productive. And this place has done it for me. Everyone was doing their own thing and working/studying which kept me motivated to study. I ordered an iced matcha latte and an almond croissant. The matcha latte was okay, I think I've tried better and their almond croissant was good but very messy. The baristas were very friendly and endorsed their promo to me. It definitely made me want to come back. Plus, they use reusable cups and plates. This place is a good place to study, they offer free wifi! Side note, they ask you to renew your wifi every hour and their wifi kind of fluctuates. Also, they only have two bigger tables to share and smaller tables that can only fit a laptop. The only thing is, there's only a few outlets available. So make sure you're prepared and come with a full battery. Students, definitely check this cafe out.

Fantastic coffee-I'm definitely going there again for a cortado it's my favorite these days. I love love the coffee shops in Toronto. I feel living in suburbs I'm quite deprived of good quality coffee. No franchise cafes make this good a coffee like these small coffee shops here do-Torontorians you guys are definitely lucky. So I went here on a Saturday afternoon and what a sad sight it was to see this once so happening coffee place without any customer. My order was taken right away I ordered a cortado and a hot chocolate. I paid. A moment later I realized I was a bit hungry and asked the cashier if I could add a sandwich and cookie to the order-he didn't seem very happy with my add on and it wasn't like the place was packed. There goes the one star I'm just being generous generally I would take away two or more stars ;) Coming to the food/coffee. The sandwich was definitely a work of art. A chef came out in his attire to create the sandwich. The smoked salmon was so so fresh and bread was superb. Simplicity at its best. Kinda reminded me of the lox sandwiches we get in London at Marks or Tesco. The matcha cookie was devoured by my daughter and she said it was one of the best she's had. My cortado was fantastic- I could taste the freshness of the coffee beans in every sip. The do have seating in the cafe but due to covid it's all closed. I also felt the dessert selection was quite limited not everything was out in the display they probably are making lesser due to covid.Next time I would love to try their famous strawberry shortcake and more of their sandwiches.

Neo coffee bar is an institution for matcha lovers, truly I feel like its second to none. The Japanese inspired aesthetic and decor ties together the entire experience so well. Clean, simple, quality product. They have a wide selection of matcha infused baked goods as well! Definitely a must try in the city.

I'm pretty good coffee spot with a nice amount of seating would be a good place to do work or have a coffee chat. There is a large collection of Japanese based drinks such as hojicha or matcha. Downsides of this location is trans are pricey, and go for around seven dollars. Expect to pay even extra money if you were asking for milk alternatives or lactose free options. And addition there is really no private areas to have a quiet discussion so if you want to gossip or talk about a sensitive topic, not the spot for you. Imagine a large table for everyone to sit at together with no plugs, thats the atmosphere vibe

I also come to Neo as a little treat to myself. It's a little pricey but definitely well worth it every time. They're usually quite busy so the only downside is that it might be difficult to find seating. Their genmaicha latte is one of my go to items, but I always love giving their seasonal items a try! The Sakura cake was absolutely incredible, everything from the visuals to the lightness of the cake base, to the flavour was a 10/10! Was a little surprised they put a sprig of thyme - never thought I'd have that on a cake, but it did look gorgeous!

Genmaicha latte!!! I LOVED IT. So rare to see it offered as a latte and it's so goooood. Also really liked their kinako black sugar mochi. Served on cute little mochi plates! Love the vibe here, the chairs, decor, ambiance, everything!

I really like their cookies! They're not overly sweet like Western cafes and they taste like they're made with real ingredients without artificial flavourings. The best one in my opinion is the dark chocolate cookie! I'm also a fan of their hojicha latte, which I don't think you can really get at most Toronto cafes because they usually have matcha. I do wish they had more seating though because it's a very popular spot for students to hang out.

$$ Came here for an afternoon pick-me up while walking near college street. Ordered the iced vanilla latte with oat milk, iced matcha tea, strawberry roll cake, dark chocolate cookie, and matcha white chocolate cookie. Their matcha is a high quality matcha, leaving no bitterness or graininess after. The vanilla latte was decent, their espresso is a bit too sour for my taste. Dessert wise, their matcha white chocolate was the star! Light matcha taste and not too sweet. Their dark chocolate cookie and strawberry roll cake were both on the drier side. They do get a bit busy and have limited seating! I'd say to plan your time accordingly if you want to stay for a while or study. Overall, I'd say give it a try if you haven't, especially if you're a fan of matcha. However, I do think there are better cafés out there.

Dropped by here on a Sunday morning to get a butter croissant and a matcha green tea latte. The interior design of this coffee shop is very modern and clean. I wanted to try their famous matcha cheese cake but it was too early in the morning and it wasn't ready yet. If you are downtown around the College Park area you got to try this place.

Came here Sunday morning for a starter to the day and ordered the Hojicha Latte, hot chocolate, an almond croissant, and 3 cookies. Everything tasted amazing - you can see at the back where they are preparing everything and can tell it's fresh out the oven! For a snowy day, there is no better way to start your day. The entire place is very aesthetic too with great decor. The only thing I will say is that the tables are quite small, except for 2 larger tables on the left side of the counter. If you're alone, then the small round tables fit a beverage and pastry perfectly. Since we were two people, the table just barely fit it but it was a bit tight for space. Aside from the seating space size, I loved this cafe!

Very clean, bright, open and fresh-smelling space on Bay Street near College Park, my preferred stop of the two Neo espresso bars in the Toronto downtown. Excellent espresso coffee and London Fogs made with care & precisely to order. Freshly-made Japanese treats from the back kitchen (do they bake them here?). And all cheesecakes are quite good... the portion price by mass did escalate 60% over last year between smaller slice and the 1 dollar increase, but that's still all you need. Reasonably good interior seating with big windows, and nice outdoor seating in this surprising (and popular) Bay St. location that is close to many amenities. Polite and friendly.

Walked inside and it was great got a hojicha latte iced and a croissant. Croissant was a little dry but still delicious and the latte was great. My friend got a matcha and a vegan cookie All I can say is the matcha was good The vegan cookie not so much. Kinda tasted like bird food baked with flour It kinda sucked thou that they had a 1 hour limit on there wifi cause I was trying to get some work done

This could be your typical coffee place that serves coffees and cakes (especially rolls). But what I found interesting is their monthly specials, which tend to be out of the ordinary for them. For Jan 2020, their specials are the Hoji-cha Series: Hoji-Cha Cheesecake and Hoji-Cha Latte. We bought both (my wife can't resist Hojicha. The Hoji-Cha Cheesecake ($6.50) is a roasted green tea cheesecake with white chocolate cream and a sweet French pastry crust. That crust was perfect. The Hoji-Cha Latte ($3.95) is a roasted green tea latte with hojicha powder from Kyoto, Japan. We also bought a Cookie Choux ($3.50), which is on their regular menu. It is a Madagascar bourbon vanilla with custard Cream and whipped cream filling. I can't resist custard cream!

This is a welcome condition to this area. Being a fan of their original location I was looking forward to a visit here when the opening soon signs went up. The decor is nice and airy and focuses on minimalism. The offerings use good quality ingredients and their desserts are not overly sweet. Word of caution this isn't designed to linger around apart from the the shared large table. Give it a look if you are in the area.

This location of Neo Coffee Bar is located at Bay and College. I've been to their original location as well as this location plenty of times. This coffee shop is Japanese inspired where they serve a variety of beverages and food. I do not have one bad thing to say about Neo Coffee Bar as whatever you order is made perfectly! My favourite go to orders are the flat white or the hojicha latte with oat milk. Always made perfectly with some latte art as well. As for the food, I've tried a variety of things from their cookies to sandwiches. Overall, can't go wrong with Neo Coffee Bar. Super friendly service, great beverages, and chill vibes.
