    I've been going here for a few years after my boyfriend introduced me to this place. They have really good crepes that we always get - our go to is the banana Nutella! They make fresh juice here too. I haven't had their sandwiches yet but the breakfast and sandwiches looked fresh based on other customers' orders. It smelled so good and homey when I got there the other day. You pay and order first, and then you are seated with the number they give you when you dine in. Good customer service and consistent quality and quantity of food. I will definitely be back again! Depending on when you go, it can be busy. Parking is relatively easy since it's in the plaza. The carrot cake was a little sweet but it tasted very good too! Will definitely be back since I'm a returning customer!

    It is situated right beside Cloverdale Mall and is def a hidden gem which we discovered by chance. It seems like a busy place but the service was quick and efficient. The menu has a huge variety of coffee’s and tea’s as well as sandwiches and crepes to choose from. We ordered two types of crepes. The Polish crepe was disappointing. But the other pecan crepe was good. Veal sandwich was ok too! The drinks did not disappoint but found them to be expensive for the amount served. Ample parking! The servers are friendly and helpful. The ambiance and decor is classy/. As the name suggests a lot of yellow decor in the cafe done tastefully. Def a nice place to hang around to get a cup of coffee/tea and something small to eat.

    Like my friend correctly stated...Yellow Cup is like THAT place in the show Friends...you almost feel like you're going to hang out with friends! Lol. Vibrant atmosphere with lovely yellow inspired decor! Just a warm cozy feel! Amazing food! I like to try something different when I go and this time I went for a classic waffle with fruits and it was close to perfection! Perfect waffle, real fresh fruits and in house whipped cream! And I appreciate that they also focus on food presentation. Give Yellow Cup a try! I'm sure you will like it! Don't be deterred by the crowd...it's crowded but the tables become quickly available. I've never had to wait!

    The cutest! Lovely sunny day vibe💛 Oddly enough it was one of the warmest days in November ever. Had the iced espresso and Prosciutto and Provolone sandwich. The sandwich was fresh and light and delicious. Would definitely recommend a visit here!

    Used to LOVE this place. Came here today and paid $45 for a salmon crepe and an egg breakfast. The crepe was cold, so cold the cheese in it didn’t melt. I showed the kitchen and they sent it back out to me still not hot or melted. The over easy egg yolks were hard. The potatoes were so dry it was hard to swallow. Pretty disappointing for the price.

    A unique cafe with great Eastern European menu and ambiance. The food is well portioned and reasonably priced. Customer service is friendly but service time is long and slow. The inside and outside of the cafe is cleaned and spacious. The cafe is kids friendly, accessible by public transit and there is enough parking spots. I love their freshly squeezed orange juice!

    Great cafe to meet with a friend. Came with my friend for coffee and desserts. Place was busy but we we were still able to get a table. I asked the girl that works there what was the moray popular crepe on the menu and she recommended the one with steak and cheese, unfortunately I didn’t like it at all, there was more cheese than meat, and meat tasted funny. We also ordered some cake and lattes, those where ok.

    This is a very cozy and pleasant cafe with a large selection of dishes and drinks. The service was fast and the food was delicious. You can also buy a blend of your favorite coffee in bags. Large selection of pancakes with different fillings, hot sandwiches and cakes

    A small and cute cafe in Etobicoke with economical items and great service. My wife and I came here for a quick snack so we went for the chicken fajita and the chicken sandwich. It was quite delicious. The addition of chips and pickles were the icing for sure. Next time, I definitely want to try their desserts and fresh juices!

    Great quality, good prices. This is my go to brunch place for my birthdays. I also visited this place during pandemic and they follow the covid safety guidelines.

    Always busy. The winner for me it is the real fresh squeezed juice, what a rare find. The chicken sandwich is really tasty, caesar salad, and the crepes are my favorite, not too sweet, not too heavy. I just wish we could have the server at the table taking our orders instead of having to go to the cashier every time you want to order something. Ah the cappuccino too is really nice!

    Haven't been here in a while but it was nice to come back! Love the variety of crepes/waffles/sandwiches they have. And everything always tastes great! Plus they have such yummy looking desserts it's hard to choose! Does get quite busy though since it's not a huge place but def recommend for coffee get togethers, lunch, brunch or just to grab some pastries ☺️

    Easily a new favourite breakfast place. The moment we entered through the doors, we were greeted by the aroma of bacon and coffee wafting around the restaurant. Notes and tunes of my childhood music accompanied the cacophony of other patrons' morning greetings. It was immediately apparent the motif was a healthy jaundice. Placed our orders to the ladies sunshine incarnate, got seated then we ate. We did not just have breakfast, nay, we had an experience. We got Tuna melt sandwhich: The generous portion of tuna was not overly fishy. It was flaky yet juicy at the same time. Complemented the lightly toasted bread. Topped with perfectly melted cheese. We got the breakfast specials: The bacon was cooked on point. A little oily but perfectly salted. The eggs, we got scrambled. Although unseasoned, the yolk taste made sure we are reminded that it is indeed egg that we are chewing. The bread was neatly sliced and buttered. If not freshly baked, surely fresh out of the bag as it was far from being stale. The drip coffee has so many different types to choose from. Served in yellow cups making us feel that we belong. The condiments: Aside from the classic ketchup, mustard, pepper, and salt, there were hot sauces of different variety to cater to each individual's palate for spice. It may seem silly to be impressed with condiments but after a horrible experience from another establishment serving what they call breakfast, it made me appreciate the tiny details at how Yellow Cup provides quality food and service. The best part of it all, the price weren't as expensive as most breakfast franchises but still delivers the same, if not better, quality of food. I loved everything about this place. I can't wait to be back for more.

    Solid place for grabbing something to drink or eat and chatting with your boys (or girls). They have lots of seats and a lot of parking spots so you dont typically need a reservation (not sure about brunch hours). Will continue using this place as a meetup as a midway point between Toronto and Mississauga.

    I have to admit, yellow being my favorite color is the reason I wanted to go there. We loved it! Great food, and amazingly fast service!! Plus, nice decoration! Oh and the nut latte is a must try if you love sweet and salty mix ☕💛

    This is the first local small cafe I tried in Canada, and I love it. All thanks to my friend who took me here. We had their vanilla latte, cream and cheese bagel, and French toast. All of it tasted 100% fresh and delicious. I want to go back to this place and try more of their food on the menu.

  • 5/5 Deepa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the ambiance. One thing to notice-the ceiling is all covered with different sacks of different products. It was so innovative. I really appreciate this idea. The coffee ststion was another beautiful section of the cafe. Almost everything was yellow, which were giving the spring vibes. The food was awesome. Ordered crepes-Italian, Peach Delight, and Fresh fruits & whipped cream. It was so soulful. Had Cappachino after a meal and loved everything. I'm definitely going back soon and strongly recommend it.

    The ambiance and atmosphere are the USP of this place. Everything inside is yellow, which is pretty soothing to eyes. You see good vibes and happy people in the cafe. The food is good, and there are plenty of options. Staff is cheerful and very efficient. You place the order on the counter, and it gets delivered to your place. ONLY LIMITATION - There are no reservations, and it is a limited seating space compared to the patrons who walk in, esp on a weekend. Sometimes, you might have to wait to get seated, but due to fairly quick service, wait time is not too bad.

    This little cafe has its theme. It's very cozy and I love it. The bad thing is that it is too popular. I had to order with eating in the car as the worst case planning. So I can't order the crepe which I really want to try. But food and drink is good. I will try again for sure.

  • 4/5 Taher B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for breakfast or brunch ..always crowded so wait time is more, had to wait 30 mins to get the order. Nevertheless the food is great.. got a chicken zesto pesto crepe and a cappuccino..the crepe was excellent. Have tried their mango chicken wrap before which was good as well. I wish the wait time was less so that we could be there regularly.

    Yellow Cup Cafe - Good coffee, lots of choices. Five coffee choices (plus decaf) you can pour yourself  they also have lots of tea options. The menu is way more extensive then I would have thought, look at it online before you visit so you're not wasting time choosing like me. I chose the days special pierogies and they were delicious,

  • 5/5 Olya P. 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    The cafe is a family-friendly gem, offering a diverse menu that caters to all ages. From creative kids' meals to well-executed classics, this restaurant creates a welcoming environment for families. The lively decor and attentive staff make it an excellent choice for those looking for a casual, inclusive breakfast experience.

  • 3/5 Miranda Cooking Arts & A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a cozy place but small. Breakfast was good but no potatoes or jam as usually we get in other places. Coffee was ok.

  • 4/5 Behnoosh F. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    The restaurant boasts a beautiful setting, and the self-serve unlimited coffee was a nice touch. I tried their crepe, and it lived up to the reputation – delicious. However, the closely arranged tables and a crowded lineup to order created a bit of a jammed and stressful dining atmosphere. While the food and coffee were good, the overall experience was a bit overwhelming.

  • 3/5 Azka S. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge menu and very reasonable prices. Really cozy vibes in the cafe. Coffee is self serve and lots of amazing bakery choices. Bonus is that they have gluten free options available!

  • 3/5 Olivia N. 2 years ago on Google
    I feel bad to give it 3 stars because i’ve been going there for so long. But today I placed an order for pick up and both orders were missing sauces, were packed very unestheaticly as if the ingredients were just dumped inside the crepe. I ate it several times before and it was very well presented and prepared. The crepes without sauce are barely eatable as they’re super dry. Extremely disappointed.

  • 5/5 Monika G. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a cute cozy place for breakfast and coffee. Different breakfast and beverage options available. Staff is friendly, ambiance is extremely cute!

  • 5/5 R A. 1 year ago on Google
    I am very satisfied with their menu. The taste is like other good restaurants, no exceptional on that. The price is reasonable. I invited my friends to Yellow Cup Cafe several times, their theme gives you different feelings. I usually ordered “Fajita Wrap”. It’s my favourite breakfast place in Etobicoke, and it always crowded.

  • 5/5 Nikki N. 2 years ago on Google
    Was looking for cute cafés near the area, found this one and was very pleased! Even during pandemic/ busy times, employees kept their cool and the overall ambience is just amazing! Yellow looks good!!

  • 3/5 Shirley S. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place… amazing decor with cute little details everywhere with yellow cups and coffee/tea motifs. I simply loved just looking around. The tea was amazing and plentiful - you can ask the staff for a pot refill with hot water. The food… well, expect small servings. I had the Turkey, avocado and brie sandwich and unfortunately the avocado was slightly off which tainted the sandwich. However, I had a scrumptious chocolate muffin after to mask the after taste and all was well. It’s a nice cafe to meet friends and be surrounded by bright yellow beauty. I’d return, but would likely avoid ordering anything with avocado.

    Love this place. Visited here last week and it didn’t disappoint. Very clean and well maintained. Love the yellow interiors and well trained management. Definitely try the Tiramisu and freshly squeezed orange juice.Will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 B B. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the food and the energy of the place. Even though it was a busy Sunday morning, our group of 4 only had to wait 5 mins to be seated. I'd love to go back.

  • 2/5 Christina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Not really a fan of the concept of this restaurant. You need order at the cashier, space is limited and the line is long, you also need to go find a table to sit at. Initially when I first came here, I thought it was a typical restaurant where they show you to your table and take your order. I came here for breakfast, I wish I had ordered a crepe or sandwich.. since apparently that’s what they are known for. This was my first time here, so I ordered the smoked salmon with avocado and poached eggs. This meal does not come with home fries, so I needed to order that on the side. We also got the breakfast special, which doesn’t come with home fries either. I had asked the cashier for water and the breakfast special comes with a coffee. I sat at my table, waiting for water and coffee.. nothing arrived. So I went back to the cashier, she had forgotten to give me my drinks. The coffee is self served here, I did not know that. The food took about 25 minutes to come out, the big breakfast came out before the smoked salmon and avocado dish, but it was cold. I had asked for my eggs to be poached medium, they were definitely hard. I was not a fan of the meal at all. I wouldn’t return here for breakfast, id probably return to do take out and grab a sandwich or crepe.

    Independent place, a little slice of heaven. This is my folks’ favourite spot, retired seniors they came for the cozy vibe and unbeatable menu where pride does NOT match portion or value. It’s bizarrely lower. Ok so the espresso is awesome (I had a cappuccino and they added cinnamon and shaved dark chocolate - it reminded me how little I expect from chain stores where I pay more always). The lunch options are so cool; fancy crepes, bagel and lox, interesting sangwiches - the food is worth the visit. The Brunchiest of #Brunch spots - but it is packed then. Unruly seniors going to Cloverdale Mall while it still somehow exists? But it IS the vibe for me too, the yellow cup theme and hokeyish atmosphere ( I dig it) makes this a great spot to hang out and talk. A raaaaare thing these days.

  • 5/5 Mary K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great decorations and ambiance. Delicious food and pastries. Photos of country breakfast, mango chicken sandwich and cranberry bree French toast.

  • 4/5 Reynold L. 1 year ago on Google
    The Brie sandwich was good but wished it come with something more. I added bacon and some hot sauce and it hit the spot! The fresh squeezed orange juice wasn’t up to the mark. Overall it’s an OK experience. Tips: It gets really crowded, so grab a table before ordering.

  • 5/5 Maryam S. 1 year ago on Google
    The coziest breakfast place with a very bright atmosphere. Their food was great, service was quick and the staff is very inviting. We enjoyed the coffee station and cappuccinos, and recommend the French toast and breakfast special for breakfast. Also, get the freshly squeezed orange juice! Portions are perfect sizes where you don’t leave a ton of food but leave very satisfied.

  • 5/5 Adam C. 10 months ago on Google
    What a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner place! Had some great Jumpy Monkey Smoothies and breakfast sandwiches with my wife. I love the yellow theme, the people inside all seemed to be having a great time, decor is traditional and lovely. Would come back again in the future. Prices are a little high but you're getting a good experience here and quality food.

  • 3/5 N. M. 10 months ago on Google
    Went twice. Limited seating. Both indoors and outdoors. Tables real close to each other, you bump with people behind you. Tried a couple of dishes which were ok. I liked the Florentine crepes but they had too much red onions in it, would ask for less next time. The french toast was dry. Nutella crepe was good except for the melted whipping cream soaking the plate 🫣.. Coffee is average. We ordered orange juice which took forever to come, we had already finished eating..

    This place had great coffee! Besides a great atmosphere and if you are not going to complain about a lineup you can look forward to the experience!👋🤷🏻‍♂️🥰🇨🇦 The staff work hard to give you good eating whether it be breakfast lunch or an afternoon snack!
