Yellow Flower — Restaurant in Toronto

Emily Rose is a quaint café located in the Seaton Village area north Bloor west of Bathurst. I was drawn to the café after seeing that they have 5 star reviews on Google. I also happened to chance upon this café when redirected by Google maps one day on my way home. There is no indoor seating but they have two large benches flanking the front door where are you can enjoy your treats from the café.

I met Alessia the owner who was delightful. I asked her about the story behind the name of the café and she mentioned that it is named after both of her grandmothers who had both taught her how to bake when she was growing up. She was apologetic that by the time I arrived around 3:30pm on a Wednesday afternoon, they were sold out of all of their baked goods (of which they have received rave reviews). I noticed that they use Callebaut chocolate in their baking. There are also a few savoury spreads and jams available for sale.

I asked for recommendations regarding what they are most popular for in terms of their drinks. I was told they are known for their lavender latte. I ordered a Lavender oat milk latte which was absolutely delicious. The floral nature of the lavender was balanced nicely by the creaminess and richness of the oat milk. The coffee itself was smooth and not acidic. I found their prices quite reasonable for lattes and other beverages. My drink came to $4.80 for a medium latte with oat milk which was better than many of the larger chains out there.

I will definitely make an effort to try to come back here at an earlier time so that I can try some of their in-house...

It's a nice little neighborhood coffee spot. There is a small selection of cookies, muffins, bars and squares.

There is an espresso machine and my cappuccino was acceptable.

The baked goods I believe are made in house from scratch. This is a good thing.

Not much for seating, some planter box benches out front. There are a number of green spaces within a short walk where you can find a bench.

The entrance is accessible, but on a bit of an incline. Cash and cards accepted. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

I look forward to checking back to see how this new-ish spot evolves.
