👍 Excellent ambience. Cash and Debit only. One thing i would point out is the default tip rate setting on the machine is too low. 5%, 8% is not helpful for the people who are dealing with customers. It would be kinder to set the default amounts as seen at other places @ 10%, 15%, 20% with the addition... People often mention coffee, cafe, macarons, great, nice, good, sweet, drinks, drink, service,

    This place is amazing. I found it while I was on my way to work one day. The deserts and coffee are freshly made and the service is great. The coffee shop is very clean and it a well organized business. The coffee helps me get my day started and I can take a few deserts home so I can snack on them later. You can take really good photos here as well if you like to post on social media. The aesthetics in this place makes you feel at home. It gives off that cozy vibe. I have become a regular customer after my first visit. Please support this small business because I think they deserve it.

It would be kinder to set the default amounts as seen at other places @ 10%, 15%, 20% with the additional 'other' option. This gives the customers the option to give generously easily while also motivating the workers to continue to provide great service. Please also add bagel + butter on the menu.

    Wanted to come here for so long for these flower shaped macarons! So excited I finally got to try it out and was not disappointed at all! The macaron cookie shell had that first crunch and then the chewy inside! Nicely done too! The cream, even after sitting in the fridge for a day, was not hard! It was actually so soft and so good! A nice easy macaron to bite without the over buttery feeling in that cream! My favourite flavour had to be the coffee as you get a nice taste of roastiness. Can totally see myself getting the macarons again and again! Person behind the counter was very friendly in saying hello and sending us off as well! Great job overall! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content!

    Adorable little Korean Cafe off of Yonge St. Large selection of hot and cold drinks as well as desserts like like bingsu cups and macarons. They have these cute Flower 🌸 Macarons in many flavours and so yummy. We had the Blue Ocean Iced Latte and and Iced Americano and they were perfectly made. 👌🏽

    Cute space with refreshing drinks! Only issue I had is that there were very few electric outlets depending on where you sit. But overall a great experience and location, will grind here again

    I decided to try out a local cafe around my area and I'm so glad I found this one! It was very clean and aesthetic, the employees were very friendly, and their macarons were delicious. I've recommended this place to many of my friends and I will most definitely be coming back soon!

    SO CUTE I think it’s so hard to find a balance of somewhere with the right heating, seating, food, aesthetic and taste. This place is it. It’s open till 10, so pretty late for a cafe, but it’s really well maintained inside. I find that cafes severely lack in non coffee drinks- especially for nighttime’s when I just want to do some homework. So I’m really happy to say their Strawberry Latte was SO GOOD. It’s just strawberry and milk, but the strawberry didn’t taste artificial. There were really small chunks of strawberry, and it just made it all the better. My friend got the peach aid, and it was nice and refreshing. I also got a flower macaron because it was just too cute and I couldn’t resist, it was sesame flavored, and it wasn’t sweet at all (which is a complement). They were plenty of seats and there’s also free Wi-Fi. About three tables, have charger access, so be aware of that when you go in during peak times, and that if you don’t get that seat, you will not get it charging port. But they also have regular food, like bagels, which I’d like to get one day if I go there during meal times. They also have drinks you commonly do not see a café, such as variety of drinks from around the world. The barista was also so cute and nice, thank you so much for taking care of us and answering our questions. The cafe was decorated really nicely! There’s a Christmas tree already (hehe) and fairly lights too. The chairs weren’t uncomfortable and the tables stable. There’s booth seats as well! It seems like a great study spot, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for having me. :)

    I tried their Chai Latte and Croffle Croissant Waffle. I just loved it. I usually choose any cafe depending on the ambience. I found this place nicely decorated. It’s not for big groups, it’s a quiet place. If you are meeting someone or having any important conversation, it would be a perfect place for you. You know it’s in Yonge area, you have to use street paid parking. I love to go again. The cashier was very friendly.

    Pricey for regular quality and below-average service. It's the third time and probably the last I visit. I love the coffee beans they sell but their coffee is another story (btw I can get the same brand of beans for $2 cheaper in midtown). Only one size and it's a small cup of latte that costs $6.22 and it tastes like bitter skimmed milk diluted with water covered with a half cup of big bubbles. The service was like: “Hello? How you pay? Your latte”. No smile no eye contact. I felt like my show-up disrupted her. Not coming back and good luck with your business. Visited Oct. 14th 2022 around noon.

    Wouldn't Return, Worth Trying. Cute cafe, classic menu and pricing. $5.5 for Latte and $6 for Matcha. Average. Fully packed on a Saturday morning. My only issue was the 35 minute wait for coffee. Like come on. Even with 6 people/ customers before me, but coffee should never ever take that long. Pls fix.

    Very nice staff with some great macarons and interesting drinks. I thought it was interesting that their menu didn’t have the typical cafe staples like a cappuccino (though they were able to make it for me) and instead had a double double (a la tim hortons). Their macarons were wonderfully light, and just a hint of sweetness. The coffee was ok and not opinionated in any way. The staff were very nice in answering my questions on their menu and giving me recommendations, and the space was pleasant to hang out and chat to catch up with a friend.

    Local gem! the best coffee in North York. The macarons were delicious (even better when you pair it with coffee) I got a vanilla latte and it wasn’t too sweet or too bold it was just the perfect balance. Staff were friendly. Love the atmosphere and the plant vibes!

    One of my favorite Korean café for k-style macaroons (~3$/ea) We tried Matcha and Pistachio, both tasted good with very little crumbs after biting and mildly sweet filing. Not to mention the cute shape! The drinks (caramel macchiato) were just ok. We came during the weekend and this place was fully packed. Took a while to have everything ready and even get a seat. Not all drink items and bingsu are available tho :( I was looking forward to try their sweet potato latte.

    Lovely cafe with a nice variety of drink options! Great service and really nice interior. Came in the morning to have breakfast and get a bit of work done. The wifi is fast and there a good amount of seating available. It is very quiet inside so its not really a hangout place. Would come back to try the macarons since they looked so yummy.

    A really good place to study. They have a lot of different food and coffee options. They even have bingsu which I would love to try next time. They have sushi triangles but I decided to have the dalgona toast. It was a bit brunt but still tasted good.

    Try their sweet potato latte! Delicious, creamy, and not-so-thick drink. The cafe is aesthetic and cozy, with many cute plants by the window. This would be a nice place to study. The staffs are friendly as well.

    This is a cute little cafe. The drinks are so yummy and flavourful. I ordered the grapefruit cold tea (has actual grapefruit in it) and my mother ordered a ginger tea (hot) both were delicious. The service was over all great, very friendly. As for food they have some yummy looking pastries, no savoury food though only sweet. All in all the ambiance was nice and the decor was simple but had a relaxed feel. Will definitely go back.

    I ordered the yakult drink and it was delicious!! The colours were gorgeous and the drink overall was very visually pleasing. I came to study so I stayed for about 2 hours; a very nice cafe to hang out at.

    Visited Cafe Inside during a solo outing and was pleasantly surprised by its hidden gem status within a busy plaza. Despite its small size, this Korean cafe exuded a cozy and homely ambiance. The service was efficient and met expectations. Opted for a vanilla latte made with De Mello beans, I found it to be the perfect companion for my leisurely afternoon of reading. Overall, Cafe Inside proved to be an excellent spot to unwind and relax

    The cutest Korean cafe with delicious dessert! The macarons and yogurt ade were both aesthetic and tasty. Overall really great atmosphere for chilling with friends or studying

  • 5/5 Romie 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cafe at sheppard and yonge area. They have cute macarons which are not too sweet and use coffee beans from demello. Only downside is that they open at 1pm which feels too late for cafes. But it could be due to covid reasons.

    It's a cozy cafe with lots of seating. The location is a bit out of the way but they have good pastry and drinks. I would recommend it.

  • 5/5 Anthony C. 8 months ago on Google
    Tucked away in a small side street, this cafe offers some great tasting bingsu that i found to taste better than some of the more well known and busier places in North York. Great place to just hang out and chill at in the area.

  • 5/5 S Y. 2 years ago on Google
    A Korean style cafe. The coffee tasted great and the owners were super friendly! And a washroom inside the cafe. Everything was great.

  • 4/5 jun l. 2 years ago on Google
    Vibe was cool to talk with friends and catch up but drinks are a bit too expensive in my opinion

  • 5/5 Ruth T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Cafe! Excellent coffee and the best macaron I've ever had. Highly recommend. Finally an independent cafe with a cozy atmosphere in North York.

  • 5/5 Victoria G. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute coffee spot on a side street just north of Sheppard-Yonge. Delicious lattes (Einspänner is my fave), potato cake and Korean style macarons - and great coffee you can buy to make at home.

  • 5/5 Romina A. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place to study. They have free wifi and some power plugs. The mango latte was magnificent. A great drink for a hot day.

  • 5/5 Y K. 2 years ago on Google
    The drink was beautiful and tasty. The people working there were really nice. Would definitely visit again to try a different drink or get the same one again!

  • 5/5 Janelle P. 1 year ago on Google
    I bought a box of 6 macarons and a lemon tea. The Taro Macaron was SO GOOD I went right back to the counter to order 2 more. Honestly, all the flavors were really good (i tried one of each)! They're not overly sweet and the texture of the cream and cookie were perfect. The fact they're shaped like flowers is a bonus ♡ 100/10 will go there again! The lemon tea was also very nice, its very lemony, but a little too sweet. Stilll good, but id probably ask for no sugar next time if thats possible.

    Best Coffee shop near Yonge and Sheppard area. The environment is very professional and relaxing. Nice to have a meetings, coffee date, and meet-up with friends or family.

  • 5/5 Meimi V. 2 years ago on Google
    My bf told me to try this place with him and I really enjoyed it. Their customer service is great! The drinks were very aesthetic and tastes great. My bf had the strawberry ade and I had a strawberry yogurt drink. I got some macarons to try and at first I was worried they would be too sweet because I’ve only had really sweet macarons in the past before so I’m not really a big fan of it. Surprisingly I ate all 4 macarons in one sitting lol. I had to stop myself or else my bf wouldn’t get to try some too. The macarons were very soft, and the flavors were good. Not too sweet for me. So I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back.
