Light Cafe

Takeout or eat-in, this place is fantastic either way. Their brunch boxes are already great, my favourite being the mushroom one. Although if you decide to eat-in definitely try the lobster brunch with truffle fries. They have a modern aesthetic and also a great location. However, their service could be better and their staff can be a little more friendly. Also, this being Toronto the price is stupidly crazy. Expect to shell out $60 for 2 people. Overall a cute place to hang and a must try for a late brunch

Light Cafe is located at a normal area in Toronto, from the outside it looks like your average Cafe. A quick step inside though, will reveal a beautiful environment garnished with modern decorations and friendly staff. Since my first visit, it’s been one of my go-to places. There’s no going wrong coming back to this place. I ordered a few things over my past few visits: buttermilk mini pancakes, Oreo mini pancakes, lobster rolls, strawberry cream puff, cream brûlée latte, and a few Italian sodas. This place doesn’t disappoint. From presentation to taste, this cafe is simply wonderful. The food is tasty and flavourful, and everything is done to almost perfection. The price point isn’t expensive either, and it definitely could’ve been. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area.

Loved this place. We came here with a group of 4 people to have a little brunch and some drinks on the side and we were so glad we choose this location while we were passing by. The service was amazing. They were very quick, and the cafe was very clean even though it was really busy. The food was really good and I personally think the prices were reasonable, not expensive. We ordered the 2 Mini Pancakes in the middle and drinks on the side which was enough for all of us. Definitely coming back here!

Had a good lunch at light cafe with a few friends. We each ordered our own plates but you can definitely share , as the plates are pretty big. There is a lineup sometimes but I think it is well worth the wait if you have the time. I ordered the lobster roll and it was alright, I really enjoyed the bread more and the home fries. The latte was good too , and it even comes with a biscuit on the side. Overall timing of food and drinks coming was good and the staff are friendly. Will be back!

Light cafe was probably one of the best breakfast I’ve had in a while. The service wasn’t the fastest but the wait was worth it. The salmon croissant and truffles fries were to die for. Oh and the lattes were so good too! I would highly recommend.

Nice and bright ambiance for brunch. Their brunch plates are amazing for the variety of food you get! I really enjoyed their buttermilk pancakes, they are the perfect bite sized. Their drinks are also well presented.

I've gone to Light Cafe plenty of times with my friends, but I haven't gone in a while since I moved to the States. I made sure to come here when I was visiting Toronto, and it did not disappoint! Light Cafe changed up their menus and added brunch stuff ever since the pandemic started. I have to say, their brunch menu is fantastic. I got the smoked salmon croissant brunch, a peach iced tea, and a mango cream puff. My friend got the mushroom croissant, an italian soda, and the strawberry roll. Everything was so delicious! I really recommend their brunch menu, although I will say it is quite a bit of food! I could have probably shared this with someone. I guess more bang for your buck! There was a slight 20 minute wait as we went at 1, but it wasn't that bad! Overall a great experience. Light Cafe still continues to be my favourite cafe!

The breakfast box is amazing. Very well thought out, in terms of packaging, placement, and freshness. Overall delicious and aesthetically pleasing. We ordered the breakfast box on Uber eats and the fries stayed crispy, there was no spillage of the hollandaise sauce or syrup, and the food items stayed in place. Very well done. However, it is on the pricey side, about $30-40/ person. Great to try at least once, but definitely not a regular occurrence.

RECOMMENDATION - If you want cozy, flavorful with an Asian twist but not over-the-top food, I will go here. Food - An Asian twist on brunch, pasta and sandwiches. Their food was delicious! I love the variety and always get takeout. My favourite is the brunch boxes. Service - Amazing! We were quickly seated around dinner time. Food came out quickly too. They were attentive, friendly, and professional. They even sang happy birthday to a table near us. Ambiance- Cozy vibes. The decor was cohesive, and I liked the open kitchen and floor concept. Located near st Patrick's station, it is always a go-to when I'm at the AGO and downtown. Accessibility: Getting in is a bit tough, but everything is on the first floor, and no stairs or steps, which I appreciate. Highly recommend! Great work!

The food was incredibly visually pleasing and the lobster roll had a generous service of lobster salad; I can see why the lobster roll is the most popular! The organization of the bento is incredibly colorful and the many components are delicious! It comes with mini pancakes, a salad, a piece of sausage and a piece of bacon, fries of your choice, eggs of your choice, and whichever main dish you'd like; I'd definitely recommend the lobster roll! Downside is that you are not allowed to eat outside of the restaurant at their outdoor seating, which means you will have to find some place to eat it. However, if you do not eat the food quick, it can get cold and soggy, so please be mindful of that. It is definitely a very interesting and pretty experience to try, so definitely give it a shot! Both of our bento combined cost a total of 50 bucks approximately. Thank you for reading and good luck! :
