BRANDOR COFFEE - Toronto, Ontario

I only order vanilla iced latte every time and their version is definitely stronger barely tasted the vanilla I requested. It had a very minimalist appeal however lots of seating available. They have a creative menu so definitely lots of drinks to try. The large straws need to go, not sure why they have straws that are meant for boba/smoothies.

This café is an absolute delight! Their Oolong Coffee is a must-try—smooth, fragrant, and perfectly balanced, offering a unique twist on a classic brew. Pair it with their Pistachio Croissant, which is flaky, buttery, and filled with a rich, nutty pistachio cream. The combination is simply heavenly! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for exceptional coffee and pastries!

The coffee shop has a stylish, minimalist vibe with lots of seating, perfect for working or hanging out. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. It’s a great spot to unwind or get things done in comfort.

Love this new coffee shop. Fast service. High quality drinks and creative flavours to choose from. I’ve tried the coconut and oolong lattes and both were amazing. They also had the perfect amount of sweetness. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks.

I visited this recently opened coffee shop in the area, BRANDOR COFFEE, right at King St and University Ave. It's a 5-minute or less walk from Union Station with a modern black, grey and white aesthetic.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon to get some school work done and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of seating they had. For students, keep in mind that there are only a few plugs along the walls, so it may be best to only stay here a few hours or come with a full charge.

I ordered their iced latte with vanilla syrup and lactose-free milk (extra cost), along with their feta and cheese danish. For a sweet treat, I tried their matcha cookie. The flavour was good, and it was nice and crunchy.

They also sell merch (shirts, bags, mugs, etc.) and other miscellaneous items. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area!

Very convenient location near St. Andrew station and possibly one of the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops in the vicinity. Spacious seating area and relatively quiet on a Monday afternoon (1:30PM ish). The interior exudes a Yorkville aura, as do their prices. I was initially captivated by the Mellow Wheat, but the barista/cashier couldn't describe its profile so I asked for recommendations instead. The Oolong and Green Plum are apparently the most popular, but the "Creative Lab" series only comes iced, implying that the Caffe Latte from the "Classic Espresso" series was more popular during the winter season. Frankly, I had high hopes for a $7.50 oolong-espresso beverage but it tasted primarily milky without any hint of oolong and only mild hints of coffee, if at all. Presentation of the drink was interesting: a black tray and napkin that read "Coffee is a Lifestyle". Brandor also has carries branded merch (t-shirts, tote bags, and a $420 backpack) and plastic "vases" hovering about the $30-$40 range.

In summary: Pleasant interior and presentation, underwhelming and pricey drink, standard but swift service. Did not try baked goods or sandwiches.

This was simply the worst matcha latte I’ve had.
I was excited to try this place, and I do think k they have a nice design, with candles, etc.

However, their drink was not good at all. It was too sweet and quite tacky, and the taste/smell of the paper straw made it worse. I had to approach the staff to ask if they could remake it.
They did not know how to react and was not able to handle my inquiry. I just gave up and just threw away the drink.

I was thinking about trying another drink, but then I noticed that others were not touching their drinks for a long time as well, so I did not.

The space is big but not suitable for work, as the table is very low.

Aesthetically pleasing cafe with minimalist, clean ambiance and decor. Drinks are okay but expensive. Expensive plastic vases and other items like candles.

Oolong and Coffee is an interesting mix, overpowering tea flavour though. Expensive.

Plenty of seating. Takes AMEX.
