    Nostalgia is a wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch. You walk into a warm & friendly place with generous seating & a cozy kitschy atmosphere. The dining room is spotless & well kept. Even with the vintage decor it’s not all beat up or worn out. Great homemade menu items served with a smile. Lots of selections to choose from that arrive fresh & fast. Our favourites are the Ham Egg n Cheese croissant & the French Toast. The fresh homemade soup will warm your bones on a cold rainy morning & is delicious. There are pastries & great tasting coffee if you’re just looking for a light takeaway breakfast or you can sit down & tuck into a full breakfast. The decor is warm & inviting. The large & small tables are perfect for a couple or a group. Art on the walls & large windows gives the dining room a warm & inviting vibe. The canned music playing in the background is not too loud so you can enjoy a conversation without having to talk over it. The coffee station is fully stocked so you can make your go juice just the way you like. The wee patio is nice on a summer morning. The staff are always friendly & make you feel welcome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars is not enough for this hidden gem on the East Side.

    I have been here multiple times and I absolutely love this cafe. The vibe, the service, the food everything here is so lovely. I love their hot chocolate with oatmilk/ almond milk. Their cappuccino is also really nice. They have a lot of options for food and especially there are options for vegetarians!! Lot of varieties of teas, coffees and icecreams.

    A quaint cafe with lots of charm. A quiet atmosphere, good to enjoy a lovely breakfast, brunch, a book, or getting a bit of work done. Service was friendly and quick. The Monte Cristo French Toast is delicious! Must try! An assortment of sweets and baked goods are available. Kawartha Dairy ice cream is a big plus!

    We started our journey today to discover the best place to enjoy a cup of coffee. We are looking at atmosphere, customer service, and, most importantly, taste. Today, we visited Nostalgia Coffee Company at 855 O'Connor Dr, East York, ON M4B 2S7. Steve Arnold had a medium roast large black coffee, and I had a medium roast double double with a swig more cream to get it to the "exact color." We split a butter tart, and I had two scoops of pistachio ice cream. The service was great. They were friendly and fast. The atmosphere was cute. The walls were done in blackboard paint with the menu written them. The coffee was good, butter tart good, and ice cream good. Nothing spectacular, other than the service, and nothing at all was bad. On a scale of 1-10, the following is my rating: ☕️ customer service 10 ☕️ atmosphere 8 ☕️ taste 5 Steve's rating ☕️ customer service 10 ☕️ atmosphere 6 ☕️ taste 5.5

    What a nice surprise! This cafe is warmly decorated, and features an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch options, including French toast, breakfast burritos (which I tried), pastries, and sandwiches. My burrito and oat milk latte were delicious and I think cheaper than getting a premade breakfast at a chain store. The service is friendly and the space is comfortable. The large community board gives a sense of place and belonging. If only I lived nearer, I’d be back!

    Lovely place for a home style breakfast. The ambience is super chill — like it is a country cafe in the city. Friendly service and great value. The Americano I had was brewed really well!

    Lived in the area for 1+ year before discovering this gem! The pastries, bagels, coffee, and tea have been amazing. Happy to have this cafe be apart of our day-off routine and excited to keep sampling the menu.

    Such a great coffee shop! A family owned business run by siblings. Very cozy atmosphere, so many drink options from their own herbal blends of teas to protein coffee! Lunch items are always delicious and at a great price. Always have to get a pastry too

    Nostalgia Coffee Company is a coze cafe for people seeking a local cafe to haunt or searching for a good coffee. There is a enough space to grab a table and sit to do work, meet up for a date, or have a coffee with friends. The owner is lovely, and the drinks are great. The food is pretty good too.
