👍👍 A hidden gem coffee shop in Lakeshore! Got their summer special - Honey Lavender Latte. The creaminess of the milk is just amazing. It's perfect! Great place for hangout and chill too! (Full review at @eatarydiary) People often mention coffee, latte, good, chocolate, cafe,

    Coffee here is amazing and the staff is great as well. Fantastic and quiet space to get some work done during the day. Not a negative but no dogs allowed for those looking to bring their four legged friends.

    Propeller Coffee, great atmosphere, wonderful staff, bright and welcoming. Coffee is expertly prepared and very reasonably priced. The food and drink options are plenty, there are a pot of very nice tea options as well. There is enough space inside for a large group if you want to bring your friends. Stop by if you need a fix, highly recommended

    Gave them a second chance. Ordered a piccolo which was average, not poured correctly and wrong proportions. Sadly, the cashier mentioned that they only bake their specialty desserts (Australian treats and cakes and lamingtons) once a week on Sundays, I believe. Otherwise, only cookies were made fresh that day. Iced tea isn't steeped for long enough and is weak tasting and therefore extremely expensive.

    Interior is very spacious and nicely decorated. Very relaxing environment. The bakery items were tasty and the latte was perfect! Will definitely need to come back to taste more of the bakery items.

    I was surprised by how good their drinks are, especially with the seasonal menu. They have many distinctive options; love my orange chocolate latte, aside from the traditional matcha latte. The seating is actually bigger than it seems from the outside.

    Awesome place 👍 Nice and friendly staffs and owner. My kids love their cakes, tasty 😋 and not too sweet. Their hot chocolate is delicious. My kids always prefer the hot chocolate here. Cappuccino is also good.

    Beautifully smart decor and some interesting pastries from AUZ. Had been meaning to try the LAMINGTON CAKE ($4....but I think I received a discount because I bought other goods ...and the end of the day....). The cake was actually made famous in Queensland by LADY LAMINGTON at her social afternoon teas ....and NOT the Governor as is usually stated!!!). Mild flavours of the sponge cake, chocolate and coconut .....tasting like a light macaroon. The VEGEMITE AND CHEESE "DANISH" is a savoury flavour and an acquired taste if you are not a fan of Australian Vegemite. It has a very "earthy" flavour (WHICH I LIKE ) and the cheese is a very old almost burnt flavour which definitely complements the Vegemite. I also bought an "End of the Day Bakery Box" ($6) which had a large butter criossant and an aged cheddar croissant. A bit "end of the day"....but great the next morning split open, buttered and microwaved about ten seconds to revive them to their "fresh" flakiness.

    Aussie inspired cafe brewing Propeller coffee. The Berry matcha smoothie from the summer menu was delicious!

    Finally! Lakeshore village has been in desperate need of this kind of coffee and pastry shop, and the neighbourhood is better for it. Really good coffee and espresso based drinks, killer pastries and some healthy options with a nice seating area. Cozy yet chic decor and friendly staff. Thank you!

    Best coffee in South Etobicoke! The flat white is really well made. Pastries are also fantastic, especially the pain au chocolate and cinnamon twist. Has a decent amount of seating, with many high chairs available and colouring books/crayons for kids. Highly recommend.

    The coffee and croissants were yummy. Reminded me of Australian coffee culture and miss every bit of that. Found this cafe and kinda gave similar vibes as Australian café 🍵

    Just finished my first cappuccino and breakfast cookie from the Sydney Grind. I was pleasantly surprised to see locally roasted beans on the bar. The cappuccino was sweet, chocolate and expertly made by a lovely barista. Staff was talkative and engaging, happy to see me! Knowledgeable and helpful, loved my visit. Will be RIGHT back.

    Coincidentally we parked right in front of it and decided to sit outdoors and have a cup Of coffee. The disposable coffee cups were so attractive and the taste of the coffee was really good. It’s really bright and welcoming inside and they also serve mini cakes, cookies and biscotti: all tasted great. The server was very friendly and patient. The overall look was very clean.

    Their coffee is superb, good amount of places to sit and enjoy your drink. I do think they should offer 1 coffee stamp per coffee as opposed to per order though. If I'm buying two coffees under 1 transaction it's 1 stamp, but if I separate it, it becomes 2 stamps?

    Very cute cafe! Lots of seating and outlets, and good wifi - so it's a great spot to study. The tables and chairs are a good size too, which I like because I find a lot of cafes aren't comfortable to sit in. The lighting is bright and clean, but not overwhelming. The staff were very polite and friendly. I just wish they had more savoury pastries. My iced vanilla latte with oat milk came out to 8.19, which is pricey but is on par with other shops in the city.

    Happy to see Australian coffee in Etobicoke. The coffee and baked goods take us back to happy days in Sydney. We’ll be back!

  • 5/5 Cassandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    This cafe is so aesthetically pleasing and practical! It is decorated so nicely and is set up nicely! Was happy when I walked in and saw all the outlets, it's a perfect study or remote work spot to switch things up! The iced matcha latte and pain au chocolat was delicious! Highly recommend!

    I visited this coffee shop for the first time today, and I’m in love. I had the yummiest matcha latte, the atmosphere was lovely and the baristas were very friendly! I will definitely be back soon. I want to try their baked goods which looked AMAZING!
