"Had a coffee here and enjoyed it. The coffee was good, and the service was very quick. There weren’t many customers when I visited, but the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, a nice experience."

"I walked into this coffee shop to quench my thirst, as i was tired from Boxing Day shopping. The queue was long and understandably so… but I didn’t mind as I enjoyed the pleasant aesthetics of the place. What caught my attention was the way they took advantage of the vertical space and stacked up the sacks of coffee beans. The service was prompt too, considering the rush! And, the Dark Latte I ordered, kept me fueled for the rest of my shopping. Loved the hint of chocolate very much. Felt like a little treat but at $8.48 (with tax) definitely pricey."

"It is located right next to Yorkdale mall's entrance by parking lot H. There's about 6 seats and a small bench. I went on a Sunday at 12:30pm. The line was not bad. It would've gone faster but they were struggling with reloading the paper for the receipts. I got the Kyoto latte, which is my usual. I've had it in Taiwan and in Malayasia but for some reason it didn't taste as sweet as I remembered. I would think they would be consistent with the recipe but this time it was different. I felt like I needed to add sugar myself."

"I stopped by during my Yorkdale shopping trip. The interior has a beautiful, futuristic, minimalist look with an eye-catching coffee bag stack. Since seating is limited to a few wall benches, it is ideal for a quick grab-and-go rather than a long chat. Drinks are made carefully, meaning the line moves slowly, so expect a wait when the mall is busy.The drinks were excellent. The signature Kyoto Latte was smooth with a gentle sweetness. The Matcha Latte had a rich, authentic flavor that blended perfectly with the milk. It was a lovely premium treat that enhanced my shopping day."
