I went to the Sydney grind for brunch, they had great selection of desserts with some sandwiches. I loved the ambience, it’s not very luxurious but is proper cozy cafe vibe kind of. They have good amount of seating. Prices were genuine. I enjoyed everything we got - the coffee; pistachio pastry, a standard jam filled biscuit and a chicken wrap. I would definitely recommend this place if someone is looking to go for a little brunch get together kind of thing.

I ordered a Mocha and a latte. The latte art on both the coffee was beautiful and I enjoyed the taste. It was refreshing and surely awakened my taste buds. The vibe was great, it was a bit crowded as I visited on Sunday but the girls at the counter are sweet.

Pretty cute little coffee shop on Lake Shore in Etobicoke. Had a latte and muffin. Latte could be hotter but overall worth a stop to warm up and recharge from a chilly January walk. Not too busy. Found seating in the back. Staff was friendly.

I cannot believe I’ve lived right around the corner for years and had never tried this place up until now. Hands down one of the best coffees I’ve tried around Mimico! I wasn’t expecting the beans to be this fresh as I went in at almost 5pm for a pick me up latte but they were so good; you could taste the quality of their ingredients. The barista at the counter today was also so nice. Will be back to try more of their menu as soon as I can

Stopped by this coffee shop on a very cold day and found it to be a cozy and welcoming place to warm up. The atmosphere was really nice, with thoughtful decor that made the space feel inviting. The coffee was okay, and while the sandwich we chose wasn’t the best fit for us, it still did the job on a chilly day. One thing I really liked was the creative touch they added with the coffee foam art and framed displays, it gave the place a lot of character. The staff were friendly, and the overall vibe felt very local and genuine. Not necessarily a stop for the best coffee or food, but definitely worth visiting for the experience and neighborhood feel.
