I usually grab to go coffee while I'm running errands so I can't say much about the ambiance. The staff is helpful and make a solid latte (iced as well) they clarify what is in the drinks and do an overall good job. I've had several of their pastries/desserts as well and those are always delicious. My to go place for coffee in Parkdale overall.read more

Great croissants and coffee. I tried the butter croissant and the chocolate hazelnut both were really good. I just wish the hazelnut or any croissants with toppings were given in something other than a brown paper bag because it was all stuck to the bag.read more

Solid flat white! Lots of people mess this drink up and their barista nailed it. Busy spot but service is quick and friendly and as others have mentioned it really has a fantastic vibe). Was disappointed to see that they use 'silk' branded almond and soy milk (much better dairy free alternatives available) so we stuck with regular milk.read more

Lovely space! It ebbs and flows with moments of calm and then being super busy. If you are lucky enough to score yourself a seat at the communal table or even the two front chairs - do so! Love the fresh croissants that are always coming out of the oven. We were so fortunate to get one of the last almond croissants as my Mom loves them. Thankfully we got one of the last two as we had brought my mom here specifically for a latte and a croissant for mother's day! We also ordered the raspberry chocolate and almond croissant. This was lovely but definitely on the sweeter side. Have sips of coffee in between! Also ordered one of the danishes of the day adorned with strawberry and a gooseberry. Delish! Lovely morning to start mother's day weekend. Also forgot to find the name of the espresso they use for their lattes. Mom loved it.read more

Grab coffee here a few times a week, occasionally one of their delicious pastry or breakfast sandwich offerings. Highly recommend this joint, and I'm not alone - it's always busy. Still, it's got a comfortable atmosphere and most patrons choose to take out.read more

I can't for the life of me figure out why The Tempered Room's coffee is so bad. Otherwise, it's a great place. Both the savory and sweet treats are delicious, fresh and well made. Really cute shop for a date as well. But trust me, opt for tea.read more

Overall really great quality bakery however I can't recommend any of the flavored croissants (almond, chocolate etc.) as they very dense, heavy and are soggy on the bottom with oil/fat. They are also on the fringe of overwhelmingly sweet. That being said, I love their other pastries - their brioche, tarts, scones and danishes are exceptional.read more

Went in the morning to get some almond croissants and also got some jalapeno corn bread too. I have to say the almond croissant is kind of heavy as it it's very buttery but it tastes very good. However my girlfriend thought it was too buttery. The corn read was quite pleasant and I would highly recommend going here getting some pastries and coffeeread more

One of the best cafes in Toronto full stop, with buttery croissants and plenty of other perfect pastries, awesome lunch options changing up all the time, even fresh loaves of bread from local bakeries. They do catering as well - we had them cater our wedding reception, and it was fantastic ("best I've ever had" said our DJ). Accommodating, professional, and approachable but upscale food. Highly recommended.read more
