Great space to get some work done! Love the different seating options. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Bonus - they are dog friendly and were so welcoming to my (anxious)dog. Tried the Pistachio Croissant, it was good. Parking is limited/tricky, but it’s walkable from lots further down Victoria.
It’s a very nice cafe for this location. Very large inside, and not at all what I was expecting right next to the train station. Coffee was decent, pretty good, but very impressed with the cookies and snacks they serve. A little pricey but everything is these days. Would definitely go here if around the train station, worth it when convenient.
Very calm and aesthetically appealing place to enjoy a sip or bite or both. Enjoyed a hot black coffee with a potato chickpea Jamaican patties. Conversation with an amazing unknown gentleman who was also at the couch, trying to de-stress by slowing down his day to have a cherishing moment in life. Totally worth the visit!
Really liked the vibe of this place! It’s a cozy spot to grab a hot coffee on a cold day and just relax for a bit. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. They serve their hot drinks in four different sizes, though some (like the Americano) only come in a 10 oz cup. I didn’t mind, since it was served piping hot, which I really appreciate because there’s nothing worse than a lukewarm coffee. The café itself has a great atmosphere. There’s a big, comfy couch right in the middle where you can sit back and enjoy your drink, plus a large wooden table that’s perfect for working or chatting with friends. I really liked the décor. it’s mostly wood and leather, with lots of live plants tucked into the corners, which gives the place a warm and lively feel. The music is mostly heard on the side with the big table, so it would be nice if they had a small speaker closer to the couch or counter area too. The patio outside is also a nice touch, with a few tables where you can sit when the weather’s good. Parking is limited, but there are a few spots where you can park for up to an hour. Overall, a cozy and welcoming café with great coffee, a chill vibe, and thoughtful details that make you want to come back.
Right next to the train station (VIA and GO), a GO Bus stop, and Victoria Street, Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters is handy to whatever mode of transportation your using! And with weekday hours of 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, they’re open to both ends of your commute! They’ve managed to make it both cozy and roomy at the same time. I haven’t seen it crowded, but all three times I’ve been there this month, the flow has been constant. Lots of staff and tons of awesome pastries keep things moving! When I noted the absence of “Cortado” on the drink list, the Smile Tiger reply was, “Ah! No worries, we call it a Gibraltar!” Served in a chunky Gibraltar glass, their Cortado was consistently smooth across my three visits! This morning, I had one with a warmed up Caramelized Onion Goat Cheese Pinwheel! Yuuummm!
