They serve amazing coffee at a cozy, family-oriented place. Often we bring our kids and they love it! I've been to over 30 coffee shops in Toronto and this is my favorite....especially because of the lovely latte art! The baristas take extra care in going over and beyond to serve you a piping, hot, beautiful cup of java!A few days ago, I took my friend to this place because she kept hearing me rave all about it. At the counter, we jokingly asked for a design of a palm tree and yoga lady on our lattes. To our surprise, they actually designed it for us! The latte art is out of this world!!! We didn't want to drink our lattes because it was just too pretty!Although this place is top-notch, they did take away the wifi which I think is a good opportunity to talk to one another and get to know our neighbors!Give it a try! Guaranteed you will be coming back for more!

The coffee poured for me was very tasty; so was the bran and blueberry muffin I had wit it. I'll definitely come here again soon.

As a regular at De Mello Coffee, I thought I'd give this place a try, but I was met with terrible customer service. When my friend and I walked in, we found two open bar stools, so we ordered and sat down. However, we were soon asked to vacate our seats for other customers, despite there being no "Reserved" sign on the stools and the fact that we had already taken them. The woman at the cash register informed us that it was first come, first served, yet she had promised the seats to other customers who had ordered later. I was frustrated by their failure to differentiate between 'first come, first served' and reservations. Additionally, I couldn't shake the feeling that there may have been a racial bias involved in their decision to take our seats. We decided to cancel our orders and leave. I'm not seeking any justification from the owner for this unpleasant experience, and I won't be returning to this establishment.

The baristas were amazing and even entertained the children by drawing on their hot chocolates! The drinks were excellent, and the food we ordered was delicious too!
