I've been to their Ossington location and heard great things about the Leslievile cafe so even though I wasn't particularly craving a latte, I had to drop in.  I love the decor and atmosphere of this place. It's large, open, with plenty of tables. I…More »

My sister and I stopped by here on a walk through her neighbourhood.  Actually, I made her stop here since I've been wanting to try this place out for awhile and had my Indie Coffee Passport on me.  It's smaller than their Queen Street location but…More »

Spacious, bright, friendly service and the large yummy latte was a lot larger than expected - probably a bit more than 16 ounces.  I couldn't finish it, I guess I was latte'd out.
There's plenty of seating with a large communal table, a few small…More »

I really like this place.  It's spacious, bright, the barista is really friendly, plenty of seating, there are a few board games and some book shelves around the cafe.  And yes, my cappuccino was great (strong and smooth) and I had an ancient grain…More »

This review is loooong overdue.  I first heard of Moonbeam a few years ago when an old coworker would make freshly brewed coffee in the afternoon making me regret and ashamed of my cafe bought coffee. While I don't remember the exact name of his…More »

I decided to drop by this place since I had the Indie Coffee Passport and was having dinner nearby.  It's connected to an art gallery so naturally there's interesting artwork around the cafe. The cafe has a warm and comforting feel to it. The barista…More »

I've been eyeing this place for awhile (the signage outside is a bit of an eyesore BUT it does catch your attention).
The barista was friendly and patient while I was waffling between getting my usual latte and flat white.  Decided to get a flat…More »

I'm on the fence with this place.  The coffee is fine but the service is a bit inconsistent.  The guy who made my clover coffee (it was good but I'm no where near swearing by it) was really nice while the guy at cash was a bit curt and seemed a bit…More »

This place is just fine if you're looking for take out coffee. This place is small as it shares the space with Freshii which takes up most of the space. There are 3 bar stools by the window and a table outside but that's about it so getting a place…More »

The lattes are on par with the other indie cafes but the cafe seating is a bit awkward.  There are seats lined up facing the barista bar without tables which besides the two single seated sofas that are angled toward each other look out of place.  I…More »

This place is cozy with a vintage/Kensington feel with a bunch of old couches.  It's also one of the few independent coffee shops that I've found that's actually open late (around 10, I think...?).
I'm giving this place 2 stars because I found my…More »
