Carbonic Coffee (soft opening)

cocos neighborhood coffee shop is super quaint, a great place to do some work (although quite busy), and all the staff are super friendly. PLUS the breakfast sandwich and scone were PHENOMENALLLLLL !! the apple cheddar rosemary scone was actually so incredible, it was the most wonderful combination of flavours. the outside was crunchy and crusted with deliciously salty cheddar, while the inside was bready and soft, but not dry. the pungency of the cheese was beautifully complemented by the AROMATIC and FRAGRANT and sage-y rosemary, and all the savoury flavours were balanced by a subtle, but sweet and bright undertone from the apples. the only thing was that i wish they could’ve warmed it up for me. also, the angel breakfast sandwich was just as delicious and something that you MUST get — it’s definitely one of the best in toronto. the biscuit is super soft and mushy and warm and comforting and had melted cheese all over it. the bacon was smoky and crispy and savoury and salty, and it was lying on top of a thick, soft egg frittata. i absolutely LOVEDDDD the sauce they added — it was described at hot honey butter, but it tasted more like an aioli or sweet mayo to me , but it was a really amazing tangy sweet-ish kick to the slight oiliness and savouriness of the biscuit and bacon. i also tried their big cookie, which was pretty nOrmal i would say?? like it’s really well made, but it wasn’t revolutionary. it had a crunchy baked exterior and a chewy soft (but not underbaked) centre, and it was very much LOADED with sweet chocolate chips. i loved pairing it with a warm, frothy cup of milk.

I love discovering little gems, and I think I may have stumbled upon one today. The space is so charming, warm, and inviting. The coffees are very reasonably priced, but it’s the treats that really steal the show - everything looked so delicious I was practically drooling just looking at them. One peach cookie in particular caught my eye. They looked like real peaches and the details blew me away. I’ll definitely be back to try it. It was quite warm inside, so we were glad to retreat outdoors with our cold brews. While indoor seating is limited, there’s plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy.

I came here specifically to try the chocolate chip cookie and I'm sad to report it's not a good cookie. Especially if you're a chocolate chip cookie enthusiast. It doesn't really have a robust flavour profile or superior texture. Just hard crunchy chocolate chips, sweet as the only flavour profile. BUT everything else about the cafe is great. I tried the coco caramel latte which had a wonderful subtle background flavour of nutty coconut. I would recommend even if you don't like coconut usually. The ambiance is also very cozy. Was a bit hot in there though. Overall would recommend!

The baked goods are definitely the highlights. I love the goat cheesecake. It’s light and moist. The texture feels more like a melting ice cream. The coffee drinks are bit watery just to my taste. Breakfast sandwiches are a must try.
