Restaurant Dessert restaurant

😐 Wonderful place for desserts if you are the big fan of fruity ice-cream. However, due to the shortage of staff, service was not too attentive and food came a bit slow if there was much traffic. Also, they only accept cash or debit. People often mention bingsu, good, service, delicious, great, shaved, dessert, cafe, spot, Bingsu,

    Cafe Daily is the best Korean-style dessert spot in the city. There are tons of different options on the menu that revolve around delicious, creative varieties of shaved ice. I recommend the Injeolmi or Cheese Cake Bingsu. Very authentic. The Croffle was also unbelievable. Management has done some serious renovations since the last time I was there - it's become exceptionally inviting, clean, and cozy. One of my favorite places for dessert. Staff and service really delivered. The owner, Jennifer, actually came over and sat with us to ensure everything was up to par. Our server, Adrienne was prompt and attentive and clearly takes pride in her work. Whenever I'm in the area, I make sure to stop in for a quick dessert at Cafe Daily.

    A really cozy dessert spot that’s perfect for studying, a date night, or a place to grab dessert with your girl friends. The server was so nice and gave us our time and space to wind down and relax. I ordered the green tea shaved ice and the brown sugar bubble tea. Both were really good! The mango shaved ice is also delicious. Would 100% return!

    A nice little spot for bingsoo and just as great as the competitor nearby! the bingsoo is just as expected. Nice and fluffy ice and goes so well with the mango flavour I got! they also have an offering of croffles and other coffee based drinks! This is definitely a nice cozy place where you can chill with the friends. The place can be confusing to find as there isn’t any large sign of their spot outside, but you go into the building the address is located at and go up the stairs. You will see a door with their name on it as well as a metal sign sticking outside the brick wall with their name on it. Service was quick and super friendly! Great job overall!

    I got the pineapple bingsu and extra mochi on the side.🍍🧊 It was delicious. The server lady was so friendly and welcoming. The place was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed my bingsu while catching up on some studying. I really love this place. I'll be back again! 😊

    My friends and I were looking to get some dessert and decided to check out this cute little café. It's upstairs and the atmosphere was very cozy and bright! They were pretty busy inside and even though it was only one barista working, she did her best to ensure everyone was served in a timely manner :) We ended up getting the Injeolmi Bingsu (soybean, almonds and mochi shaved ice) and some drinks. The food and beverages were delicious and super friendly service!

    The bingsu here is excellent, and the service is always prompt. This place is rather small, so there's often a wait for spots. Highly recommend the mango and green tea bingsu!

    A cute little spot to hang out with friends and catch up, great shaved ice! Always warm and cozy in the winter!

    It's on the 2nd floor of a building, so don't miss it. The server didn't speak much English, so we didn't know if they come to you with menu and take orders or what. You have to go up to the server and place your order. We had coffee Bingsu and it was delicious. Little expensive at $20 with tip.

    Woooow such a cute and vibey spot for bing su after dinner!! Mango bingsu was so delicious and soft you can also add toppings if u wanna combine fruit flavors 🥭 🍓 🫐!!

    This is a cute, unassuming cafe nestled in the second floor of a store at Yonge / Finch. We stumbled upon this cafe while looking for Korean desserts in the area and were very pleasantly surprised by the great quality of desserts. We had a cheesecake bingsu and green grape bingsu, both of which were delicious and had generous portions.

  • 4/5 Annie 4 months ago on Google
    Good desserts but not my favourite place to get bingsu because of their minimum order rule and their overall pricing. Ordered their mango bingsu and injeolmi croffle Both tasted good!

  • 3/5 Amy L. 5 months ago on Google
    I've been to this cafe twice in the past year and really really love their bingsu. The injeolmi and mango flavoured bingsus are delicious and they are quite generous with their toppings. The actual shaved ice is fluffy and creamy and doesn't feel heavy at all. However, I could not agree more with how terrible the service is here. There is an order minimum - for three people you have to order a minimum of 2 bingsus or 3 drinks. I understand the point of this rule but nowhere was this stated on the door or menu. The price per bingsu including tax and tip comes to about $20 which is a little bit on the higher end. I also asked for water for the three of us but they only brought ONE cup. I didn't bother asking for more. It wasn't very busy when we went but the person working there really did not care about providing good service at all even though we tipped quite fairly. I would def recommend if you like Korean bingsu but don't expect any good service. They play k-pop in the background and the ambiance is okay but not great.

    Best Bingsu in Toronto! Very generous toppings with snow textured shaved ice. The quality of the bingsu is excellent. My favourite is the Cheesecake Bingsu, because the give you a whole slice of cheesecake. They ain't playing around haha They have croffles, cafe drinks, and various flavours of bingsu to try. The atmosphere is very chill, somewhat rustic and modern at the same time. Plus, it's a great place to have dessert with family and/or friends. It is small, and it can get busy during peak hours. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Conveniently located within short walking distance of Finch Station. Look carefully, because it is easy to miss if you are locating the place.

    the honey brick toast was unexpectedly tasty. the bingsu was good but not as good as before (when this place was cafe bene), sadly the big portion size and cream puff bingsu is forever gone.

    I’ve been here a few times, and had good experiences. It’s a nice relaxed place to meet a friend or get work done. Unfortunately the latest time I went the staff was extremely passive-aggressive. I was squeezed into a tiny side table despite the place being almost entirely empty. I don’t need service with a smile, but being treated like they can’t stand the sight of my face is just exhausting to deal with. Won’t be back. Also the hot chocolate is mid.

    I tried their Cheesecake Bingsu and it was delicious. The shaved ice was not “icy,” but rather fluffy. Nice atmosphere to relax/study as well. Service was also great and really quick. Definitely coming back.

    Drinks are delicious - we especially loved the roasted grain latte Also tried the croffle for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Crispy, aromatic and not too sweet

  • 4/5 Meri 1 year ago on Google
    Came here a few times and I enjoyed their bingsus. The pineapple bingsu wasn’t ripe enough, but the injeolmi, cheesecake, and triple fruit ones were good. The AC didn’t seem to be on when we went today since it was really hot and stuffy inside.

    Place is amazing. Dining is now open (currently) and the lady was very nice. She taught me how to say thank you in Korean and it had delighted her when I said it properly. Perfect place for a date or just to try out the ice cream and the drinks!

  • 4/5 yuliaoSunny 2 years ago on Google
    This place used to be Cafe Bene but changed to Cafe Daily during the pandemic. The food items offered are still pretty much the same. The bingsu tasted great and the atmosphere is homey. A great place to chat with friends over a light snack. The ice part of the bingsu is not milky ice like some other bingsu places around Toronto, but the toppings and the condensed milk adds enough sweetness that it still tastes great without being overly heavy. There is a 2 hour limit currently, but if the Cafe is not too busy, this is not strictly enforced.

    Super good! Will always choose to go there for cafe or bingsu;)

  • 5/5 Patrick Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Pleasant cafe with a nice vibe. Their Honey Brick Toast is to die for. It has just the right amount of sweetness so you don't feel sick after, unlike most other cafe's. On top of everything, Jennifer was very kind. She really makes you feel welcome and at home.
