Wow - this cafe is exceptional. Absolutely stunning inside, all their baked goods are made in house. Croissants truly as good as getting them fresh in Paris. One of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. Looking forward to coming back to try their restaurant upstairs - but in the meantime, the cafe is now a staple in our rotation.

Very much enjoyed the 'slow' dining experience. At AD you're treated like a friend and not like a place-holder that needs to be turned over for the next patron. The food is very good and crafted with care. AD Cafe is not in the most convent place, but it is well worth discovering because you'll be back again and again.

If Toronto cafes had a personality, AD Cafe would be the effortlessly cool friend who’s always got great taste. Tucked along Davenport, it’s a seriously cute spot with modern charm, but everything on the menu is crafted with old-school care. We popped in just before their menu refresh, and still, every bite and sip was giving quality. The tuna sandwich we had on the day we went was fresh and flavourful, and the chocolate & almond croissant had that dreamy buttery flake situation going on. Their matcha was smooth and calming, while the coffee brought that cozy energy we needed. And don’t even get us started on the cocktails and mocktails: beautifully made and just the right amount of fancy without trying too hard.

What a great new spot! Best carpaccio, tartare, and fish we’ve ever had. The dishes were all presented beautifully and the service is top notch. Amazing Italian evening.

Such a lovely spot! The chicken focaccia was hands-down the highlight — packed with flavour and made to perfection. The coffee was smooth and satisfying. They have Italian chefs straight from Italy, which really shows in the food quality. The chocolate croissant wasn’t my favourite, but overall, a cozy café with authentic vibes and great service. Definitely worth a visit!

The cafe is stunning; as you walk in it is bright and airy with beautiful marble bistro tables lining the window. The staff was extremely pleasant and hospitablr. The pastries and desserts in the display counter looked fresh and pretty but tasted even better. I came for the carrot cake; the best Ive had! Can't wait to return!
