I’m a frequent customer, often coming in for breakfast. I am always satisfied with their tasty and classic egg salad and chicken salad sandwiches with a flavoured brewed coffee!! It just feels perfectly homemade which is a good feeling for me Owners are friendly and caring :)

I had lunch here and was absolutely starving. After finishing the beef bibimbap, I was completely satisfied. The friendly Korean owners provided exceptional customer service, going above and beyond by delivering my food right to where I was sitting. The dish had a generous amount of veggies, and the miso soup was more than enough. The menu offers affordable options, and I would definitely return.

A hidden gem I'm happy to have found! The good quality with a lot of amount. If you go to the main street, you pay +$10 for the same quality. I will go back there for sure

Came across this lovely hidden gem in North York Center today. It's a bit hard to find, but it's right around the corner beside the public library. The ice in the iced coffee is frozen coffee instead of reguar ice so the drink doesn't get watered down, which shows a level of care for their customers that I appreciate. The service was delightful as well. Happy to support a local mom and pop shop!<3
