Axis Cafe — Restaurant in Toronto

While I may not call the Junction home, I’ve discovered that Axis Café is the neighborhood’s best-kept secret. This modest spot is the heart of the area, where locals gather to catch up, swap stories, and soak in the charm of their vibrant community. Whether you're meeting friends, catching up on local gossip, or just enjoying the atmosphere, this is the place to be.

Of course, if you prefer solitude, snag a table for one, savor a drink, dive into a good book, and watch the Junction come to life around you.

We did have a new sever who was working his first day there but I don't think that was the cause of slow service.

There was live music that started later in the evening and the gentleman they had that evening was quite good, which helped redeem our...

The food was the worst I have ever had. If Gordon Ramsey is looking for a place to visit…this would be it. A brie and green apple sandwich with red pepper jelly on warm bread was ordered. It seemed like they put a whole slice green apple with literally and no exaggeration a teaspoon sized blob of brie in the middle and a half teaspoon spread of jelly on bread. It was dry and disappointing. I do not recommend eating here. And as for the iced tea - watered down and undrinkable.

Not very busy during dinner time which is why I chose the safest meal. How hard can it be to make a good sandwich?
