The Birchcliff Coffee Bar - Scarborough, Ontario

I was around the area and wanted to have a cortado. I chose this cafe bcuz of its high ratings. I would say everything about it was good but the cortado. It tasted more like black coffee with milk. It was served in a pretty big glass (latte or flatwhite size), ... and the espresso to milk ratio was not right. However, the atmosphere is lovely. They have plenty of seats inside and a nice patio. So, it might be good for hanging out with family or friends, but the coffee is below average. Read more

The Birchcliff Cafe is one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. I make it a point to stop by every weekend for a delicious breakfast and a cup of their fantastic coffee before heading to the beach with my dog. Despite the usual lineup, the friendly and welcoming staff ... always make the wait worthwhile. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, with lovely decor that adds to the overall experience. The outdoor seating is a huge plus, allowing me to enjoy my meal with my dog by my side. This cafe truly stands out as a unique gem in our community. Highly recommended! Read more

Birchcliff Cafe is a cute cafe within the suburbs that I always drove past, saw a couple of times on TikTok, and finally decided to try it out. 🥘☕️ The cafe has an array of coffee/espresso options to choose from and has some bakery and pastry items. We ordered the following: Violet ... Vanilla Iced Latte (7/10) - This is a seasonal drink ($5.95 small, $6.45 large) - I'm not too sure if I can even taste the vanilla or violet... not sure if the drink was supposed to be violet (in colour) because it looked like an ordinary latte with a subtle hint of flavour (nothing strong) - Still a solid latte Latte (7/10) - Tasted fine and enjoyed it, but nothing that makes it stand out Chocolate Croissant (6/10) - It's your usual chocolate croissant and it was colder than I expected it to be Banana Bread (6/10) - It was too cold (not sure why lol) 🕑 Opened during school & work hours, so very limited timings. 🌿✨️ The aesthetics of this place is cute and beachy vibes but modern & high-end. They have plenty of seating and have cute fixtures on the walls. There were pops of greens, whites, and greys, and some plants. I think it's a cute place to come study/work or even socialize in. 🤍 Customer service is amazing, and everything was kept clean and tidy as well. There was a line for this place, but it wasn't much of a wait considering how fast they took our order and served us. Read more

Amazing spot with strong cozy cafe vibes with that touch of modernness and with nice strong roasts You can tell it’s already gonna be good just from the sign itself outside. Then you walk in and are transported to so many different levels of wow. An amazing looking interior and that ... fireplace wall just completes the whole homely feel. Space was also nice and bright The espresso roast is nice and strong without the taste being overpowering or long lasting, which is just how it should be. Nicely coats the tongue with the creaminess too Service was great. Super quick and barista looks like they had a busy morning, so to see a smile was just very welcoming Speaking of how busy it was, it was a full house on a Wednesday morning. The one thing that makes me want the warmer weather to come is they have a patio which would be perfect to enjoy a coffee in the morning outside There’s street parking in order to get here, but looks like those spots fill up fairly quickly. So would suggest having some patience to getting a spot Great job overall Read more

Nice neighbourhood spot. We enjoyed a latté, a cinnamon swirl and a croissant. A busy Sunday at this café, but we still managed to find a spot to sit, get friendly service and enjoy yummy pastries. Will definitely be back for another visit.
