After trying out various highly rated spot in Vancouver I consider this one to have the best Cappuccino out there. The decor is High End in my opinion and I was thinking its all style and no substance kind of place but I was amazed by the quality of…More »

Excellent Stuff. They use a machine similar to the Slayer but somehow the crema' is not the same level but perfect IMO. The results speak for them self. I think a tie for the best Cafe in Vancouver Kafka and 49th Parallel rule!
Very friendly staff had…More »

Much smaller portion for drinks IMO for the cappuccino . First sip tasted like the espresso was burnt during brewing. I was taken aback as I was not expecting this from a place that consistently rated at the top. After 2-3 sips the sweetness of the…More »

Nice take on cappuccino. I think the long walk added to the taste. Nice Crema and smooth finish. Milk was frothed well didn't quite have the sweet finish that 49th parallel has but still better than a lot of places I have tried. Highly recommended.

I ordered the Cappuccino. Espresso is weak but still better than any iteration I have had in Toronto. Milk could have been frothed a little more. Good Safe Bet

After reading so many rave reviews of the Double Baked Almond I decided to make an early visit to this Patessrie. I decided to order a Cappuccino as well. The Cappuccino was decent not the best I have had in this rainy city but for sure good. Now for…More »

For a place that claims to have the best Cappuccino in the city (Heck they even advertise it on their website and big sign outside) I was bit apprehensive in trying it. Had some time to kill today so decided to give it a try. A more traditional take…More »

In a word terrible. For such a highly rated place it was just down right awful. Espresso was burnt and the milk was almost scalded. The place was packed and I guess they are better for Lattes and normal coffee. Big Thumbs down. The Drink looked…More »

Recently updated lists from Elvis A.

Cigar Friendly Patios in Toronto! (7) Yes even though most patios allow smoking cigarettes they don't allow a cigar! Heck its not addictive and IMO opinion they smell great. Here is a list of places where you can enjoy a pint/drink without the fuss of people telling you can't smoke a cigar here!	Beer Luvers Rejoice! (13) These places in Toronto have decent selection of beer. I tend to favor Belgian Style beers so this list is based on that.
Delta Hotels Home Away from home in Canada! (8) Reviews of various Delta Hotel Location across Canada.	Vivia Las Vegas! (6) Must visit places in the city of Sin.
Face off Indie coffee passport 2011 (30) Ranking on Indie passport 2011 for Cappuccinos in Toronto. if the Cappuccino was bad on the second visit other espresso/coffee drink was tried. I do take my cappuccinos with a sweetener so by no means these reviews are from a purist's standpoint.	UFC without Cover! (10) These bars/pubs offer UFC PPV events without a Cover Charge in Toronto.
Indulgence, a lifetime event, food luvers' paradise! (7) Memorable meals and other food,drink related places in North America.	Cigar Shops Toronto (20) For the Cigar Luvers in Toronto. In my experience most of the places sell Cuban Cigars for the same price with one exception unless one buys a box. One can find a better deal for non Cuban products if there is special on them at some stores. Some places charge a premium for the location. So what sets them apart is the service and selection IMO unless you know exactly what you want.
