Discovered this café when exploring the area. it’s small with limited seating but well worth the effort. The décor is very eclectic and you notice that the owners pay attention to the details since it is very clean, service is great and the food/drinks are out of this world. If you are a vegetarian or vegan they have some good options. Their coffee is great quality and their pastries are out of this world, not to mention their sandwiches, I love them to bits. It’s a great place to come with your family, hang out, and relax.

Their food and baked goods selection aren’t as diverse or numerous than Mabel’s a little more down the street, but the advantage they have is that this is a great café to sit down and spend time doing café things. Maybe I saw wrong, but I only saw two tables at Mabel’s, while this place has a big, open, bright seating area. Their drip coffee is very close to water :(but their baked goods and seating is good.

Came here the other week with a colleague. Such a cute little café with so many different kinds of pastries and drinks to choose from. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a good coffee.

Perfect place for a treat — everything’s amazing especially the brioche, croissants and salads. A little pricey for some, but makes for a special visit.

We are very fortunate to have Fantail on our neighbourhood! Really wonderful folks running the place. Fantastic selection of treats and sweets and great value for the quality of the house made products.

Finally made it in, as I’ve been meaning to since day 1. I had a brew coffee, which has a nice palette. The treats all looked delicious. I tried out the dark chocolate and peach brioche, and it was fantastic! The interior is also stunning. It’s a very warm, comfortable atmosphere that is glamorous, but not pretentious. Beautiful woodwork, which I understand was the work of one of the owners. A little bit pricey, but definitely worth it. I’m already planning coffee dates here for the coming weeks. Fantail is a welcome addition to the Roncesvalles village!

Great food, décor and good, friendly service. I enjoyed the Thai rice salad, raspberry almond tart and flat white.

Welcome to Fantail, a brand new family owned and operated business in Roncesvalles :) Jarra and Michelle are siblings, and Holly is their first cousin. All three of these New Zealanders have artistic backgrounds. Jarra does fine woodworking and is responsible for the beautiful wood tables you see in the café. Holly, a painter and illustrator, and Michelle, a fashion designer, have been able to showcase their artistic talents by designing and creating the entire interior of the café. It isn’t just the food that is well crafted! The prequel to Fantail was Holly and Michelle’s baking business called Bakeress. The focus of Fantail is the same as Bakeress, quality ingredients that taste as good as they look, but they decided to add a savoury element. You will find organic, vegan, and gluten free options, plus direct trade coffee. I had the savoury muffin which was one of their best sellers of the day. It had a subtle spicy kick to it, a great way to start the day! If you follow them on Facebook, you get a sneak peak of what is being prepped for the next day. I want to go back today for a banana caramel filled donut! Don’t forget about the baristas, Grace and Max, who are also from New Zealand.
