My friends and I walked into this place thinking it was a dessert cafe, but guess what? They had more food options than desserts! Unfortunately, we were already too full from having had dinner elsewhere. The owner was super friendly and suggested we try the coconut dream dessert (house made). It was amazing! It had ice cream, vanilla cream, and lemon based sweet cream sauce topped with crushed pistachios and white chocolate. The menu says it’s for two, but don’t be fooled - it’s enough for at least four people.

Great cafe and brunch spot with delicious options. Usually busy, but if you wait a little you are sure to get a spot. I tried The Reuben sandwich and it was to die for! The burger was also delicious and highly recommended

Comfort food executed with care. Chill place great for catching up while chowing down on delicious food. Easy menu but all perfectly executed. I loved the simple pasta. Packed with flavour, not over sauced, and just the perfect al dente. The chicken was juicy and came with the AMAZING BUNS!!!! I think I’d order the chicken again just to get the buns. The burger is a no-brainer for me. I love Big Macs, so this was definitely a win. The outstanding dish of them all was the DESSERT!!! The cake with the passion fruit ice cream!!! Omg get it!!!!! My friend needed a moment of privacy after taking a bite! We were soooo full by the end but we took a break and finished it!!! Must order!!!! (It doesn’t show up well in the photo but it’s cake layered with ice cream and fruit and cream and all the deliciousness). Oh. And the staff were equally amazing.

These guys do not play games when it comes to cafe/breakfast food. If you're looking for a place this is it. Amazing coffee, pastries and brunch. Went with my friend for breakfast before going to the ROM then accidentally stayed the whole day inside instead just catching up and enjoying the atmosphere. Will definitely be going back, service was great, main restaurant and bathrooms were immaculate.

What a lovely experience. The atmosphere, service, and food were all amazing. I love that it was open during the holiday as well. The bodega bagel I grabbed was doused in some sort of butter or oil, and I could eat four of them if possible.

Wow wow wow the Reuben sandwich was simply spectacular, 11 out of 10. We had a great date afternoon in a snowstorm with friendly attentive service from Sarah and Andrew. Lovely and bright casual ambience. We will be back with friends. They need to know about that outrageous sandwich.

Had a special date with My Aunt Elle . Who is the owner of Mable’s Fables Children’s Bookstore celebrating 37 years in business in Toronto - everything had to be extremely special! From the minute we walked into Cafe Paradise on Bloor the place smelled incredible and the energy was ALIVE! So many incredible dishes to choose from ... I always take the recommendation from the server. Service was AMAZING! Food was NEXT LEVEL and the Coffee was made with LOVE! Writing this Google review because I needed to share a 10 star review out of 5! Shout out to Andrew the General Manager and Tanya who managed the wine bar next door for being super informative and fun - making my Aunt’s celebration magical! Bravo! Excited to try EVERYTHING on the menu!

Such a cute gem perfect spot to work from or go on a date or hangout with friends. I had bread & butter with chicken wings, the bread was nice & fresh and the chicken was nicely crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Love the aesthetic of the place so cute They recently changed up their menu so look out for that. Also they have a bunch of events happening that are listed in the menu love that, definitely want to come back to check those out.
