La Casita Del Cafe — Restaurant in Ajax

This coffee trailer is such a hidden gem in the Durham Region. I first saw it on TikTok and Instagram and decided to make the drive from Markham to Ajax. My mom wanted to stop at VanDeermeer Nurseries so it turned into the perfect weekend outing. From the moment you walk up it feels like you have stepped into a Pinterest board. The trailer is painted the softest pink with hand painted hummingbirds and desert window murals. Pretty umbrellas with fringe and rustic wooden tables sit among rows of pumpkins from the nursery. It is exactly the kind of place you want to photograph from every angle because it is just that cute and cozy.

I tried the Pumpkin Horchata Matcha and an Iced Black Coffee for $12.71 which is very reasonable. The Pumpkin Horchata Matcha was creamy and lightly spiced with cinnamon. It has the earthy green tea taste of matcha but blended with sweet horchata milk and a hint of pumpkin for a fall twist. It tasted like dessert but still refreshing over ice. The Iced Black Coffee was bold and smooth with a rich flavour and no bitter aftertaste. Both drinks felt fresh and thoughtfully made.

I have tried many different cafés and this is by far one of the best ones I have visited in terms of customer service variety options customization prices and aesthetic. The price point is amazing especially when I compare it to the coffee food truck at my university downtown which targets students and charges over ten dollars for a mediocre drink made with artificial syrups and powders. Here the drinks are thoughtfully crafted and the quality is obvious in every sip. The girls working at the trailer were so sweet stylish and helpful with their recommendations. They greeted everyone with genuine smiles and made the experience feel personal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a lovely experience.

While we sat and enjoyed our drinks there was a man playing guitar and singing outside and he was very talented. The live music added to the already beautiful atmosphere and made it feel like a little outdoor café in a movie. I loved having that kind of entertainment while sipping on my drink.

I cannot wait to go back and try more of their drinks like the Smores Latte Nutty n Dulce or Salted Caramel Brulee. It is the kind of place that makes for a perfect day trip and I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family. Beautiful aesthetic fair prices delicious drinks live music and great service. It is very...

3.5 ⭐️ Really cute spot but soooo many wasps. I loved the idea of a coffee truck in the nursery lot more than I loved the actuality unfortunately.

Latte was delicious but also $9.60 🫣 I know coffee is expensive these days but this is exorbitant.

Also was ignored by staff for a good five minutes waiting at the window after my friend ordered which tainted the experience a bit. They weren’t particularly busy at the time.

Re timing, I don’t mind waiting; especially if you are dealing with wasps — acknowledgment of that I would’ve totally understood! Being in a garden centre certain presents a challenge and I absolutely get that! A simple ‘be with you in a minute’ when a customer is waiting expectantly at the window, goes a long way.

Re cost, inflation has come for us all and I understand that small businesses have it the hardest. Don’t get me wrong here, your drinks were delicious and 10/10 recommend over a chain...

i come to this place all the time and i’ve never had a problem. all three baristas make my drinks 10/10 every single time, no matter how busy the line is! however, i came today and ordered three drinks i get all the time. there were two new baristas i did not recognize and NONE of the Three drinks tasted like they normally do, all of them missing at least one element that i paid extra for. i was extremely disappointed as i have never had a problem with any of the drinks i get until today. one of the iced lattes i ordered was completely warm, the other one had used oat milk when i asked and paid for 2% and my other latte came with no cold foam, which i paid extra for! i never have a problem with the regular three baristas that work here and these two new ones ruined all three of the drinks i ordered, such a waste of my $32. the line was a mile long so i couldn’t even ask them to fix it. please train your new baristas to...
