One of the best location to buy coffee in Toronto GTA. It has a variety of beans from all over the world. After 8 is the shop signature product. I'm writing this comment because I am touched how the shop take cares of their customers. I drove from Markham to the shop yesterday and bought the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe to try. For afternoon tea today, we used the French press and let it sit for 5 mins. However the taste didn't turn out as we wanted from the bag . I thought maybe French press wasn't the best method to brew for this bean. I called the shop and told Kyle who picked up the phone. He told me I did everything right and perhaps Yirgacheffe wasn't my cup of coffee āļø He asked for my preference taste that I enjoy, and I said I really liked "After 8" the shop signature product; nevertheless I want to try something different. He then told me he will figure something out and will give me a new bag. I said it is a long drive for me to go back from Markham and thanks. Then he said will personally deliver to my home to make sure I'm satisfied. Wow š³ for a small coffee shop saying that to a customer that they didn't know. I'm totally touched & surprised as well! No way for any other coffee shop that I know will do this for me! I totally feel like I'm their VIP but I'm no body just a customer who walked into their store. I felt so much respect as a customer. This kind of gesture & customer service, for sure I will become a loyal fan to Fair Grounds Organic Cafe!...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI discovered this cafe three weeks, ago and since then I have come here too many times to count! The food is delicious AND made with clean, simple, natural ingredients. You literally taste the goodness and freshness when you bite into one of the muffins. I have tried all of the muffins (carrot, blueberry, banana, vegan, apple). Nothing here is processed or re-heated. The coffee makes me feel like I am back in Paris or Italy. It is just real coffee. I live in Mississauga and all of my favourite bakeries/cafes are in Toronto because I was unable to find a place in Mississauga/Etobicoke that knew how to make proper coffee. I have also tasted the cakes and baked treats, all magnificent! And the people who work here are warm, kind, and make you feel welcomed every time you step into the place. This includes the owner himself, and Javan, who makes the perfect cup of coffee - latte, cappuccino, anything on the menu he makes it perfectly! And it helps that he is a foodie and all the foods he has suggested I have loved. I used to go to Toronto all the time to find a place like this. I am happy there is one close to my home. The ambience is cozy. You can sit here and read a book for hours, journal, chat with a loved one, or use your lap top as they offer free WI-FI. I appreciate this place, the food, beverages, and the people who run it. This very quickly became one of my go-to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI find it very strange the negative reviews here. Iām here almost weekly, my daughter and I enjoy the desserts, they are mostly all made in house. Not in Brantford like Tim Hortonās, and heated up to look like they are made fresh. I suppose if you like Tim Hortonās, then your retarded taste buds would not know what to do with all the flavour, but then there is always hope that some may open up.
The coffee here is very good; the service is good also, though I suppose younger people are not always attentive enough for some. I wish they made cookies in house, nothing like a freshly baked cookie and a good cup of coffee. My daughter and I are here weekly, not only will we eat and drink inside, but also take coffee beans home. The Yirgacheffe coffee beans are very good. Unsure how anyone would say anything negative about this place, very good coffee, great sweets, and most of the staff are very attentive, helpful, and nice.
Went to the Odgen Ave. location and had the most wonderful Americano ever. They have a nice shiny fancy machine, and boy when I saw the lovely golden brown creamy nectar flow into my cup, I knew right away that I was in for a treat. My eyes did not deceive my taste buds, I usually have some dairy in my Americano, no need for dairy, and it was the best Americano ever. I eagerly drank the first one, and ordered and second...
