Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting *Space Cafe, tucked into the southeast corner of Yonge and Finch in a charming walk-up space filled with cozy, two-story shops. Just a short stroll south of Finch subway station, it’s incredibly easy to reach—a definite bonus for transit-goers.
The cafe feels like stepping into a friend's welcoming home. Its multi-room layout offers a mix of intimate tables for two and inviting sofas, perfect for lounging. The ambiance is relaxed and cozy, making it an ideal spot to linger with a warm drink or catch up with a friend in a space that encourages you to take your time.
The menu has a thoughtful range of options, from excellent coffee and tea to delightful snacks like Portuguese tarts and croissant sandwiches.
