    Good atmosphere and service. High prices and small portions!

    9 Bucks for a small sandwich is pretty much. But the sandwich was great. Coffee was good as well...

    This cafe is a winner for me in the summers because I love the patio.   It makes for a great lazy weekday afternoon or morning, if you can spare it.  

    I've ordered ham and cheese panini, which was ok, although a bit bland.  Their arugula salad was nice and fresh.  The cappuccino was actually quite good, better than most places can make them.

    Nice spot for a light lunch indoors or having a summer drink on their patio. Had a grilled turkey panino with some extra avocado (they make them at the start of the day, so not fresh to order - but still can make slight changes) which came with a side salad. Mixed greens, not much else - but the right mix of oil and vinegar. The sandwich was light, flavorful, and as satisfying as turkey with cranberry mayo can get (pretty satisfying).

    The pizzas looked uninspiring and were around the 15$ range. Saw an impressive sized calzone being served - the fat fuck inside of me regretted not getting one of those.

    I think for the lunch crowd- this is a good alternative if the Terroni up the street is busy.

    Just had breakfast there this morning. This is my first review on Yelp and unfortunately it's a bad one. I'll keep this brief:

    Cons
    1. Dead fly in my chickpea salad (clearly they dont wash their greens - watch out if you dont care for e-coli)
    2. Uninspired / bland food
    3. No apology or acknolwedgement or discount for the dead fly

    Pro
    1. Beautiful patio and location to admire well-heeled 50 something Rosedale baby boomers plus a few trust fund babies (if that's your scene) - which maybe explains the uninspried blandness of the food
    2. Server was working as fast as he could and was friendly and nice (for this reason we still left a tip - but he neglected to escalate the matter of the fly to his manager - or maybe he did, but she chose to disregard)

    So likely never going back. But such a shame to waste such a prime and beautiful location on sub-standard service and food.

    Cute little local "cafe" with some seriously good food. The thin crust Margherita pizzas are divine. As are the soups like the lentil puree. The lasagna is so good my wife had me pick it up every night for a week straight.

    We don't live around it anymore but go back often. Highly recommended.

    I like this place for its patio, and it beats the Starbucks patio. The food is good and I am always pleased with the selection.
    However, the service is always a turn off.

    The friend and I went to Caffe Doria for lunch.
    I absolutely loved the sandwich I ordered.

    Turkey + Brie + Cranberry Mayonnaise + Apple Slices = Love

    The salad that accompanied the sandwich was excellent as well.

    Next, I'll have to try their pizza!

    Well, this place tasted as good as it looked when I walked by it. Cute little outdoor seating around the corner and on the side street instead of Yonge, great menu with sandwiches, thin crust pizza, and salads. My friend and I shared the mixed green, apple, walnut salad with Goat Cheese instead of gorgonzola and a pizza. More than enough to split. I took a peak at the table next to us and saw a very healthy looking bean salad....mmmmm...beany.

    All that for table service and you can also grab it to go. They also have the typical stand with coffee and pastries. Really great ambiance...however...looking at the wall trinkets, my friend realized it wasn't so much french/european cafe as swedish/american chochkees from IKEA and Target. Either way, it worked and music was great and on a nice day and a cool breeze it's a perfect leisurely lunch.

    Cozy and cute resto with very affordable prices! I had the most delish pizza ever. Of course, i can not remember the name....but, I can NOT forget the taste. Thin crust pizza layered with caramelized onions, gorgonzola cheese, prosciutto, and honey. It sounds really sweet, so I was kind of afraid to try it. But, it was well worth the risk. All of the flavors complimented each other wonderfully. Seriously - a must for anyone who loves creatively made pizzas!  Yummmmmmm!

    Totally the worst first impression of a restaurant in Toronto I've ever had. I was waiting at the door for almost ten minutes and nobody greeted or asked if I needed anything. I wasn't the only one either. Another guy was standing behind me and kind of gave me a look like "what the heck is going on, what are we supposed to be doing? Do we sit down? Are we supposed to wait here?"

    I've been to numerous busy restaurants in Toronto and New York, and none of them have made wait at the door for ten minutes without at least acknowledging the wait or taking my name down.

    I ended up leaving, walking north along Yonge with my friend and found Avant Gout. Unlike this establishment, someone had greeted us at the door and made sure to sit us down promptly with a fantastic brunch menu. Thank you Caffe Doria. Without you, I wouldn't have found such a gem. For that, I gave you one extra star.

    Once again I have been grossed out by the bad quality of food. The turkey was glossy and like rubber, and way too much bread. The tuna was bland with wilted lettuce. I always forget how bad the food is and even worse the rude servers. We all took one or two bites and threw it out...revolting quality. Never again.
