Open for two months, this was my first time here and it’s a beautiful spot. The décor and space is warm and very inviting. I had a cappuccino and veggie panini (roasted portobello mushroom, roasted red pepper, basil pesto, goat cheese, arugula). The panini was fantastic!
They buy their beans from a Quebec-​based roaster who has a roaster in Toronto. They chose them for the European roast, which I find a little on the dark side, but there’s no doubt that the espresso-​based drinks are made with great skill and care as is the food. They serve free-​run chicken, pasture raised beef and sustainable fish.
The owners live a couple of blocks from their shop and took 20-​months to get it open. Their care is evident. I’ll be back.

i had read a review in toronto life or blogto and since i live in the area i wanted to see what was up. plus driving to bathurst north for a good «jewish» chicken noodle soup is out of the question most nights.
chicken soup — just meh, they put in penne pasta which made no sense to me. croissant was pretty good. ambience is nice. i was rather put off by the cook that day who gave me unlimited stink eye (you’re not cool lady).
could see returning for a coffee and a croissant if im in a pinch and probably not a bad a place to spend the afernoon working on a laptop.

They have a great variety of gluten free food. Great choice! And it’s an amazing neighbourhood café. Check out their green eggs, no ham croissant. One of my fav. It is quite busy filled with people with coming and going. Plus, they make a great cuppa flat white. Barry the owner is not only welcoming with his partner making an excellent cuppa coffee, but they both know a lot bout coffee. Certainly a coffee enthusiast and takes pride in what his café serves.

What a fabulous café! The coffee is wonderful, including a huge selection of teas and yummy smoothies. The baked goods, croissant and panini sandwiches and salads are made in house and you can tell that they are passionate about the quality of the food. I mean who can resist peanut butter, honey and banana on a croissant? The gluten free muffin is by far the best I’ve ever had. The ambiance is beautiful, warm and inviting with a huge whimsical mural celebrating the neighbourhood. What a great find on Pape just below the Danforth!

Excellent coffee, fresh baked goods and a nice atmosphere make thus a welcoming spot on an otherwise residential stretch of Pape. Wonderful, witty neighbourhood mural inside too.

Love this place! They have an excellent selection of delicious gluten free pastries as well as a large selection of teas. They even have a tea-​smelling section where you can have a scent of almost all their teas without it being unsanitary. Staff is really friendly. Coffee is solid. Pre-​made shakes are pretty decent, as well. They have large tables that are good for studying or lounging about with a board game. The bathrooms are very nice; no paper towels but a forceful enough air dryer.
