Found this place while searching reviews online. What a great gem of a place to eat some delicious food to start the day. We tried the coffee, a cardamom chai tea latte and 2 different breakfast sandwiches. Then we topped it off with 2 maple butter tarts. The kind owner provided fantastic service. We will definitely be back again!

Super friendly staff! My boyfriend and I came across this place while driving by on Old Kingston road. We decided to check it out since there are few unique cafe places in Scarborough. We went in the morning time and ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The sandwiches were so fresh and delicious, the person serving me (I believe was the owner) mentioned they bake the Brioche buns fresh - they were absolutely delicious and the coffee and tea was really good too! The store has a cute touch and the pastries although we didn't try looked amazing too. A cute little place and will definitely be going back! Heads up, bring cash with you as they do not take plastic (at least not right now). HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking this place out!!

A warm and cozy cafe in the local neighbourhood. Came here for my Saturday morning coffee and got a lovely window seat to enjoy a pastry. The croissant and scone were delicious, and the coffee was fresh. A comfortable and spacious environment to gather, read, and enjoy food. I hope to be back regularly for another weekend treat.

Stopped here on a recent cycling trip through highland creek to rouge park. One of the best Italian style sandwiches I can remember. Awesome house-made sandwiches and baked goods. Definitely a hidden gem.

Delicious food and coffee, great spot, can buy some imported and pantry items too! The owners are from Italy and you can see them preparing all the food behind the counter. Amazing local business.

Simple and quaint, very friendly staff, simple sandwiches, coffee and desserts, ok price and enjoyed eating outside the shop, with the cool breeze on a hot summers day. They also have ice cream which we enjoyed !

Loved it. I sat there for about four hours and worked. The barista lady was extremely nice and made me feel welcome. She drew a heart on my second cappuccino. The pastries were freshly made and delicious. They have free wifi. I don't think they have an AC so it was a bit hot, but not that bad. Overall, I would go there a lot if I lived close by.
