Rosalu Snack Bar located in Seaton Village at Christie and Yarmouth is Toronto's newest coffee shop. Rosina and Luigi (Rosalu being a combination of both their names) opened up the coffee stall inspired by the tastes/smellls of their grandmother's kitchen. The interesting and unique thing is that they are located inside a laundromat where as soon as you enter, the smell of fresh laundry hits your nose. They serve caffeinated beverage options as well as have many savoury (pizzas, quiches, lasagna) and sweet (cookies, pastries, etc.) food items for purchase. Rosalu also has a small selection of grocery items for sale as well. I found out about Rosalu Snack Bar on Instagram and was excited to try it myself!
I stopped by Rosalu on a Thurs afternoon. There was only one customer when I entered. The interesting thing is that their store is also in front of a bus stop so it's convenient to grab a hot coffee on a cold day if you're waiting for the bus. I was warmly greeted by staff (I assume one of the owners). She made an effort to make me feel welcome and also was friendly. The savoury items on display definitely all looked very delicious. I did opt to purchase a cappuccino and a butter tart. Great thing was that I was able to choose how many shots of espresso I wanted. My drink was made at a reasonable time and it was made hot which was great. As soon as I left there was already another customer behind me.
My drink was made well and the butter tart has lots of filling which was delicious. There is no seating inside for the coffee shop but you could chill by the washer/dryer machines if you wanted to. There is also a small bench outside if you'd like to enjoy your coffee/treats outside.
Overall, cute new coffee shop in the Seaton Village neighbourhood! Definitely want to return to try their savoury items!!
