We were warmly welcomed on a snowy winter day and enjoyed our lunch. Their cappucino and lattes were delicious as well as their unique 3-berry muffin. The house specialty sandwich was tasty, but had more cheese filling than I like. Their turkey sandwich was delicious. The restaurant decor is contenporary cozy and there are lots of breakfast, brunch and lunch choices with vegetarian and vegan options. It was nice to see families and diners of all ages hanging out and enjoying the food and vibe there.

Caffè Tolia turned out to be a truly delightful experience, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a Parisian café thanks to its carefully curated décor. The place feels elegant yet welcoming, instantly making you feel at home. Breakfast options are excellent, ranging from classic croissants to more refined choices like yogurt and porridge, all of great quality. The oat milk latte was particularly good and added to the overall positive experience. The service is attentive, the location is great, and prices are absolutely fair for the quality offered. During the week, it’s also possible to bring a laptop, which makes it even more comfortable and versatile. Overall, everything was thoroughly enjoyed and the café is definitely highly recommended.

We love Cafe Tolia. We really enjoyed the great vibe here- a real coffee place that has great service and always smiling face. A place I will always come back to. The menu is excellent 👌. The nice surprise for us is " no laptops weekends"!! A place you want to re visit.

This restaurant is vey nice. And they serve a proper flat white. But the breakfast sandwich is very underwhelming. It definitely lack of taste. Which is a bummer. The egg in the sandwich just didn’t feel right and the portion of the bread for what you pay is not Waw. It somehow lacks of flavors.

Oh, I’ll be back. Great experience starts at the register - I didn’t catch the lady’s name, but she was very welcoming and helpful from the start. Open kitchen which I always love. And the food - diverse menu definitely European inspired (I think Italian). The drinks were delicious and not too sweet, the food was great. Can’t wait to go back!
