Louie Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Toronto

Had a chai latte with soy milk. It's fairly commonplace nowadays to have non-dairy options but I appreciate it nonetheless. My only issue with it (and all coffee shops) is that I'm forced to pay more for a lactose allergy. Luckily it's only a few cents, but it would be nice to do away with that. It's my only complaint.

Latte was superb; nicely spiced with just the right amount of sweetness with the ability to still taste the tea. Foam was smooth and fluffy without being too airy. Served hot enough to be enjoyed immediately but not piping enough to burn.

Shop was spacious and clean with plenty of room to sit. Next time I'm in I would definitely sit down to enjoy a coffee. They also have a space to reuse glass bottles which is a big plus for me.

I had a food poisoning after having a large size iced coffee and chocolate croissant (look and taste stale) during noon. That’s all the food and drink I took before having 3 times of diarrhea, one threw up and intensive nausea (motion sickness). Please check the process of food cooking and handling, especially the pastry and chocolate. Please avoid buying and eating their pastry :( I am so regretful that I should not add the chocolate croissant before payment. If you have diarrhea and threw up at the same time on the toilet, and motion sickness, you will know how terrible the food...

GREAT drinks and food here! It’s an underrated little gem on King, which is super close to work, so it’s my go-to for my morning and afternoon pick-me-up when I’m at the office. DO try the ham & cheese croissant and get it warmed up 🥐! It is divine! I’ve also had their spinach, chocolate, and plain croissants and they’re all great. Their oatmeal cookie is also delicious. The only thing I haven’t liked food-wise was their roasted red pepper quiche. I found it quite bland and a little soggy. Their coffee is really yummy, but they can also make a dope oat or coconut...
