What a great little cafe! Nice and bright, very friendly staff and absolutely delicious, buttery croissants! The cappuccino was perfectly made with quality coffee and tasted incredibly smooth. No bitterness or burnt flavour that so many cafes seem to have and definitely no need for sugar. Very well balanced all round made by pros. The space itself is crisp and clean yet still cozy with lots of seating. We're quite lucky to have this place in the neighbourhood! 5 stars.
Edit: came back a few years later and something has happened. The space is mostly kitchen now. No more cozy indoor backarea. Which seems strange as it doesn't appear to have a bigger food or drinks menu (maybe I missed that). But mostly the barista was very rude. I was in great mood walking in, and really looking forward to another pastry & coffee like I'd had in the past, and grab some biscuits or something for my friends too. However, none of the pastries are labelled at all and when I politely asked what they were, she acted as if I was making her life so difficult and I was stupid because I asked if an apricot danish was lemon as if she was personally offended that I would assume it to be lemon. I got a cappuccino to go (which she seemed to sort of throw together carelessly) and then just left. And the coffee wasn't even as good as it used to be. Really unfortunate. I used to love this place, pre-covid, but I won't return again. So, 3.5 stars. It's not quite 3, but it's not a 4 either. And Google doesn't...
Read moreOne of the cutest coffee shop in Toronto. Staff is very friendly and nice. Kufana, a special desert, is a must have item. However, on my third visit I just kicked out by "blonde family" from an attractive window seat to make a way for their "more light spot of headshot". What surprised me, there was another white person next my seat with equal light and view, yet they chose me anyway. I would be immediately labelled as "aggressive and arrogant" if I would say no their request, so I paused few seconds and said "I will leave in couple of minutes" even though I intended to kill couple of hours to finish my big data presentation. When I walked out on the street, I felt better for taking the higher road and not bringing myself down to nasty bigotry thinking possessed by some people in this beautifully...
Read moreAbsolutely exceptional! Hailed Coffee was on my list of places to come while in Toronto. It far exceeded my expectations partly due to the kind customer service from Sora. She was patient and knowledgeable and made our drinks with care. We purchased more items as gifts due to her recommendations as well .
We ordered in the pistachio saffron latte and the Spanish latte. The Spanish latte had incredible cardamom flavor and the pistachio latte was very subtle but loved the addition of the crushed pistachio on top .
We also ordered chocolates , cookies , and almond croissants. The croissant was perfectly sweet and flaky . An easy...
