CocoaLatte

Friend’s review:
The blonde lady who was taking orders was very nice and polite and explained to me the difference between two drinks that I was deciding between.
However, the other lady (brown hair in a bun) who made the drinks did not present herself professionally. I went there this afternoon and ordered a Nutella latte to go. Worst decision I’ve made today. The Nutella was not properly mixed in with the milk. The milk and Nutella were separated and I had to mix it myself but the chunks were still stuck on the bottom. On the receipt, it said «To go» but she served it in a ceramic mug. I told her it was to go so she just dumped the drink into a plastic cup.
She was handling the tools/​utensils really roughly and carelessly like she was rushing to do something else. She ended up spilling the drink on herself. A customer in front of me was requesting for her service but she told her to come back later in a very annoyed tone while trying to find a cap that she dropped. This is a terrible presentation of the drink and not so great customer service.
Don’t know if I had gone at a bad day for this lady but I will not be coming back since I didn’t feel welcomed.

I didn’t even order anything so I can’t speak to the quality of the food, but when the customer service is so terrible that leave before ordering anything there’s a problem. The girls behind the counter were so rude and unwelcoming. I know I don’t want to spend my money on a business that makes me feel like my patronage is unwelcome.

I can only comment on their cocoa latte. It was so delicious. It was coffee with a hint of mocha. Wish I lived closer to enjoy their latte.

Ordered an egg wrap with bacon. A little pricey but huge size and tasted great. Also ate at the little patio in the back which was a cool place to have a bite.

I love this place. I go often either to din in with my 7 month old or pick up a drink and muffin for when I’m out for a stroller walk with him. They are very accommodating and baby friendly (family friendly). On the weekends it is busy with lots of kids and families so be warned it can be loud with the blender, coffee maker, and lots of talking. Not so loud to be unpleasant though — just loud in a bustling Saturday morning kinda of way. It is small enough that it doesn’t get so loud you can’t easily talk to the people at your table. Food is always fast and hot! They have the very best hot chocolate — try it with almond milk! The sandwiches are delicious and they have a daily soup which I get along side my sandwich. Last time I was there it was a smokey corn chowder — so yummy. You can buy them in jars to take home. I like the chicken Club — bun is fresh and soft yet toasted. I don’t think they bake the bread in house but it must come from a local bakery as it is always so fresh tasting. The chicken club sandwhich has a sizeable chicken breast with smokey bacon, lettuce, avocado etc. Simple but delicious! The rustic prosciutto is my other favourite a little less filling but so good! It has a drizzle of olive oil and rosemary that totally elevates it. This is my go to place when friends visit and we want a cute local lunch/​brunch spot. Options include lots of healthy choices as well as some indulgences! Good for just coffee and tea too!

Good coffee, nice brunch bites, solid baked goods. Their waffle sandwich has been a nice add to the brunch menu ever since Starving Artist went and ruined itself. Warm desserts with gelato hard to say no to.

I have been trying to eat healthier but not completely deny some of the things I love. Cocoalatte has a good selection of excellent gellatos in three sizes of paper cup or a waffle cone. A stroll down St. Clair on a hot day with a dish of assorted cool flavours is wonderment. I am still and always a sugar, fat whore with a jones for flavour. Try mixing the vanilla and raspberry.
Went three times and noticed things that had nothing to do with my ritual gellato visits
Large menu. Attentive, focused staff that exhibited great teamwork and seemed to care about my experience. A selection of hot sauces one that appeared to be made in house.
Finally went in tried a California Club on a gluten free tortilla shell with a hearty broccoli soup around 10 dollars. The shell was so surprisingly good; more so having suffered through gluten free bread that is so universally bad that it has turned me into a mad chemist /​baker.
Mothermacs will expand, and on this café, in this blog.

A lovely first experience here! Will definitely be returning. Clean, visually appealing, attentive staff, a variety of seating and atmosphere (yes, a variable atmosphere, depending on where you sit), and the best part– an extensive menu! Mouth-​watering selections that make it hard to choose just one thing. I had the infamous Nutella latte. Worth every penny. I didn’t order any food but could see them grilling (from scratch) fresh cut veggies for a beautiful grilled veggie wrap (served with soup, yum!) I doubt you will be disappointed with anything you purchase here. You pay for the whole experience. I love these independent cafes!

OMG!!! this place is amazing! From the moment you walk in you are overcome with the smell of Nutella and crepes!!! A great spot for a coffee/​latte date, meeting, lunch or breakfast! If I lived in the area, this would be my spot!
Lolly the manager is amazing! Super friendly and positive and attentive to every detail. Alice was great too. I ordered a Nutella Latte with Almond Milk and she made an awesome one!

Great omlette with chorizo and cheese. Worth going back to!

I went yesterday for breakky with my mom, n it was super amazing!
I had breakfast tostada (bread was fresh, crispy yet u can cut thru it easy) cheese was melted on top of the fried egg n topped with lovely salsa. Nutella latte wasnt too sweet!
Mami had cheese omelette with salad n toast n fresh orange juice.
Food was delicious n fresh! Service was fast n servers were friendly. The bill was reasonable. I will def come back!

Great neighbourhood spot. They have delicious sandwiches, soups, desserts, and drinks. My favourites: avocado BLT, nutella steamer, molten chocolate brownie. And their pumpkin spice latte in fall is way better than the one at any of the coffee chains. Lovely natural light inside and friendly staff. My only disappointment is not getting to sit in the front window spot if there’s just two of us, but I grudgingly concede that it makes sense.

Haven’t had much of the food here, so I can’t speak to that. But I really do love their Nutella lattes (iced or regular). They seem to be popping up all over the city but the ones here are by far my favourite.

One of my favourite neighbourhood spots. High quality, delicious brunch, sandwiches, soups and salads prepared with care, very friendly owner and staff, and they make their own house hot sauce… What more could you want?

This café feels family run and approachable. Their crepes are tasty, delicious coffee and nice homemade soups (I’ve had the cauliflower soup a few times, always good). I think they also bring in their baked goods from local sources like wychwood baker. My boyfriend and I will keep coming back here!

It’s a cute little place that seems to be frequented by new mothers mostly. I couldn’t believe all the baby strollers… wow.
The prices are decent for baked goods and coffee, but the food is slightly pricey, but they do have a vegan selection, so… maybe that’s why.
The place is a good size but as it was totally packed it seemed a bit small. The staff is nice but they could use a little more seating, just that there’s no room for it!
Decent place, good for a lunch or a chat with someone, but not the type of café you’d go to do work on your laptop or read.

My friend and I decided to check this place out after the cute play on words and the fact that it had the highest rating of the options in the area. On first glance, this place would appear to be out of place on this St. Clair strip, you’d place it more in the Bloor or Queen St. area of the city. But why should us «Northerners» not have a cute little café to go to?
For a Sunday brunch, there was no line up and we were seated immediately; however, we were definitely not the only ones in there. We were greeted immediately and promptly provided menus. Very impressive and they have found very interesting things to do with Nutella.
I decided on the Nutella latte, with a single shot of espresso. Very delicious! My only complaint is that you have to stir it frequently otherwise it all collects at the bottom. But when mixed, there are little flakes of hazelnut with every sip. Yummy!
I ordered the veggie omelet and it had a good portion of vegetables and was cooked perfectly! The accompanying salad was delicious; however, I could make the exact same salad at home so it’s nothing special.
The servers are enthusiastic about the products they offer and very knowledgeable about the selection. I got a couple of baked goods to go which I look forward to trying tomorrow.
All in all. I would definitely recommend this place to people who were in the area or were wanting to try somewhere different. I will also probably return next time I have a craving for a warm drink that has nutella flavoring (which thanks to CocoaLatte will probably be in the near future). Definitely worth a try.

I was looking forward to trying their espresso here. Today I got their double americano, my signature drink. While various other coffee establishments price their items differently. I was disappointed. The espresso tasted weak, based on other places I have gone and it came to over 3 bucks. That, to me is quite an expensive charge on a double americano, considering too I brought my own take away mug. No discount? It would be worth checking out another time.
The service is lovely and the food, from what I have read on the menu, does seem like it would be delicious; however, I have yet to try any food item.
As for the vegan goodies, I know them well. After all the majority, if not all their vegan baked treats are supplied by the best vegan bakery in and around the Toronto area– Sweets from the Earth. All of their products, especially their vegan carrot cake is worth trying. They have perfected the faux «cream cheese» icing. It doesn’t even taste like soy, but it is.
As for Cocoalatte, I would try it another time, but to be honest. given the specialty coffee-​shop status and the lack of others in the neighbourhood, it is bound to be expensive.

I love CocoaLatte! What a cute little café! What a cute name!
Drop by for a Sunday lunch/​brunch on a sunny day. The restaurant is quite busy but we have no problem to find a table either inside or outside at the patio.
We order the Breakfast Burrito and a Tuna Sandwich Melt with Beet soup. The ingredients they used here are nice and fresh. You can even watch them preparing in their small open kitchen area.
Though the portion is smaller but I think it is perfect for a nice quick meal without overeating. At least I feel like I have a healthy meal when I eat here.
The Chai Latte and Café Lattee where both nicely made. The only thing I don’t understand why the Chai Latte is served in a paper cup and half of that is milk foam?
The waitstaffs here are all so friendly and upbeat with such positive attitude.
I will definitely be back and have a coffee when I am in the area!

I’ve been here both for breakfast and lunch. They have a nice little patio out back where you can sit in the sun, and a four seater at the front of the restaurant where you can watch people walking by on St. Clair Ave. There are also some seats inside, but frankly, it’s a little stuffy and loud.
The service is always friendly, although it can be a bit slow. The food is delicious and fresh, just the right amount so that you’re comfortably full, not stuffed and not still hungry.
For the non-​dairy folks, you can get lattes with soy milk. You can also get milkshakes made from their selection of gelatos, something I’m definitely going to have to try next time. Mango gelato and soy milkshake? I say yes!
