Platform Espresso Bar - Markham, Ontario

The food was amazing, and very well priced. The staff were very considerate of our kids asking if they wanted certain ingredients and making drinks cooler for them. My avocado toast was superb. Would definitely recommend.

The coffee here is outstanding and there's plenty of flavors, so your match is definitely on the menu. The food was so-so for me. The salad is great, the hash browns are crispy and to my liking; however, the waffles are kind of bland. I'm a little disappointing the syrup ... is an additional $1.00 if the waffles don't stand well alone. The menu also says minimum 1 order per person. I'm not sure if this is applicable to food, but I think passing by for just a drink is well worth your time. Read more

Food: 5/5 cause everything was made with high quality! I had the waffle sandwich on the left side and highlights to note are the eggs were huge, the chips are house-made with a herb seasoning (I saw a previous poor review saying the chips were too oily for them, but ... as they’re house-made how do you expect them to not be a little oily?), the waffle is big and had herbs within the waffle, all the other ingredients were fresh! My parents who ordered the other two smoked salmon dishes also love their meals and had no complaints. Also, the dishes were all large portions! Most important to mention, the latte, cappuccino, and matcha rose latte we had were all so delicious and high quality. Service: I saw another previous complaint about slow service, however they don’t note that it’s due to there being only one guy to serve all of the tables! The waiter was so nice and did his best to accommodate our needs and changes to our meals we asked for. They really need to hire 1 more person or give him a raise because this guy was running around trying to serve a packed restaurant! I’ll also note we went early at around 10:30 am to avoid a long wait and yes we only had to wait less than 10 mins for a table. Atmosphere: Nice atmosphere to come and hang out with friends. The only thing I could complain about is that it can get noisy if there’s any group a little loud, however it is a small restaurant so any noise travels far and that’s not in the employees’ hands. Overall, would highly recommend coming here if you don’t have a big group of people as seating is very limited, and try to make a reservation if possible. I’ll be visiting again for sure! Read more

Pleasant and homely restaurant/cafe that’s perfect for a weekend brunch/lunch. There was a large selection of crafted coffee drinks so you are bound to find one you like. It is quite busy on weekends so a reservation highly recommended, otherwise be prepared to wait. The staff are very friendly and ... try their best to accommodate everyone despite how busy it gets.

I really love the atmosphere and aesthetic of this place! All the train references are very cute! The food here is delicious, I really recommend the french toast cubes!! I love open faced breakfasts and this place did not disappoint. Very large variety of coffees and tea drinks. Service was really pleasant and ... attentive. They were also polite and patient to my group when we accidentally got too loud. I'd love to come back and try their other food items. Read more
