Beautiful and calming. The patio birds should be registered as service animals. The indoor cafe is gorgeous. Even the bathroom is gorgeous! The treats are decedent and make you feel special. Wonderful place to take time for yourself. Dogs are welcome!

This is my FAVOURITE café in Canada not just Toronto. Nothing compares to the feeling of being there. I don’t even know where to begin. The vibe is absolutely stunning. It’s a peaceful, soothing spot where the garden and the birds make it feel like a little slice of heaven. You can feel the owner’s touch in every corner, each detail chosen with such love and care. It’s the kind of place that instantly brings you peace. The food is chief kiss . I’m in love with the custard pastry. I come almost every day, and it’s usually sold out before 11 AM. The cinnamon rolls are incredible too. And the coffee, I’ve truly never tasted anything like it especially the one with ORANGE. It’s unforgettable ✨ The staff and owner are beautiful souls. They’re so kind and welcoming, the kind of people that make you want to stay all day. We met the owner today, and she was lovely warm-hearted and genuinely good person. I love how the café tells her story, with the photos of her grandmother made it even more personal and touching 💕 And of course, the birds ❤️. My little companions. Sitting with them, feeding them . it fills me with so much joy and calm. Thank you for creating such a magical place. Please don’t change a thing. Only bring more of the custard pastry 😂

The one cafe you should go this summer should be Cafe 23! It is so peaceful and relaxing to have their tasty Strawberry Matcha Latte and sit for an hour or two or enjoy conversations with your friends. It's spacious it's unique it has a big tree and a patio itself. Loved spending time there and will be my go to cafe now!!!

Cafe 23 in Toronto is such a nice spot — the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a really charming vibe both inside and on the patio. The coffee is excellent, rich in flavor and carefully prepared, and they also have a great selection of pastries and treats that pair perfectly with your drink. It’s the kind of place that feels both relaxing and vibrant at the same time, making it a great choice whether you’re catching up with friends or just taking a quiet break on your own. Definitely one of the nicer coffee spots in the city

Every time I go to Cafe23, I experience a little escape from the city. I am always impressed at how beautiful the interior is (see picture) and how quiet the back patio is. If you are looking for a great new spot, come here! Also, no laptops on weekends so perfect for that catch up with a friend you have been putting off!

Coffee 23 is a really cool spot to grab a coffee, enjoy a small snack, and have a good conversation. The place has a rustic, artsy vibe, and every corner seems to tell a story. You’ll find interesting details everywhere—cool pictures, melting candles, and artistic mirrors that make the space unique. The seating inside is limited, but they have a cozy backyard and a rooftop that are perfect for hanging out. The backyard, shaded by grapevines, is especially relaxing. It’s not fancy or luxurious, but it’s full of character. Plus, the coffee and pastries are excellent! In my opinion, it’s one of the coolest coffee shops in Toronto.

This hidden gem is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The patios in the rear lower and upper level garden feelings along with the freshly done pastries and coffee will hit the spot for you. If you’re from the city or just visiting this spot is highly recommended. Enjoy ❤️ and thank me later…
