Cafe23

A hidden gem in the bustling downtown! This cozy, beautifully designed small cafe is always packed with a lively crowd, adding to its charm. Despite its size, it offers an inviting and adorable atmosphere. The coffee is amazing, and their baked goods are absolutely delicious-a true treat for the taste buds. Definitely, worth the visit if you’re in the area and looking for a cute spot to grab a coffee and a snack!!

Visited this place with my friends and tried their Espresso Macchiato which was perfectly balanced, and their Latte - smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of froth. They also offer an excellent Flat White and Cappuccino, both made to perfection. The tarts were absolutely divine, and their breakfast menu has a variety of options that cater to every taste. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or savory, you’re bound to find something that hits the spot. Loved their beautiful patio. It's a serene oasis in the heart of the city, with lush greenery and charming decor. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee and meal, whether you’re on a breakfast date or just catching up with friends over brunch.

Love the atmosphere and the many little details in the decor. I can spend the whole afternoon here, reading, chilling, doing work. I love their garden patio during the summer with many greenery and birds flying around. Their mocha is one of the best in the city. Highly recommend.

Cafe 23 is a hidden gem! The ice honey lavender latte was a dream, and you can't go wrong with their fresh squeezed orange juice. The service was top-notch, quick, and super attentive. The cozy vibe of the place makes it perfect for a weekday work spot. Just a heads up, weekends can get pretty busy, so plan accordingly. It's definitely a spot worth checking out for a relaxing and delicious experience!

Although I’ve lived in the Queen West neighbourhood for a few years, I had never tried Cafe23 until a friend recommended it. I stopped for a pastry to go, and in addition to the atmosphere being great, the pistachio croissant is one of the BEST croissants in the city! I’ll be back for the patio on a warmer day!

My best friend begged to bring me to this cafe for at least 3 months before I agreed out of necessity. But since visiting for my first (7 days ago), I’ve been back 5 times?? The cafe is an hour away from me, and while once seemingly a burden, now irresistible. Why? The ambiance is one of the best I’ve experienced in the city. It holds this old timey aesthetic vibe to it, with the greatest attention to detail I’ve seen out of the hundreds of cafes I’ve visited. From the chandeliers and lighting structures, to the candles and dangling wax, to the images and structures, to the outside seating… every aspect of design is filled with insurmountable detail. Today was my 5th visit, yet I left having discovered several things I hadn’t caught the past 5 visits. The outdoor seating is another world, one of snow white’s (you’ll get it once you visit). Overall, cafe 23 is fantastic, and I will be visiting many times more. What makes it special and unique to other cafes is the old timey, aesthetic, authentic vibe, in addition to their outdoor, nature seating. I highly recommend!

Cafe23 in Toronto is a hidden gem that blends charm and elegance with its unique interior and stunning outdoor space. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a cozy, vintage atmosphere filled with carefully curated antique items that give the space a warm, nostalgic feel. The real highlight is the backyard garden—a tranquil oasis with lush greenery and cozy seating, perfect for a relaxing coffee break. The menu offers a range of well-crafted coffees and pastries, making it an ideal spot for those who appreciate both a beautiful ambiance and quality refreshments.

Cafe23 is a cozy little gem in Toronto! I recently stopped by and tried their almond croissant paired with an Americano, and both were fantastic. The croissant was perfectly flaky with a rich almond filling that wasn’t overly sweet—just the way I like it! The Americano had a bold flavor, and it complemented the pastry so well. The ambiance of the cafe is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming cafe experience!
