I love Velora! It's got the perfect cozy vibe for a work day or coffee with friends :) I come here sometimes to change my environment during the work day & it's perfect every time! The staff is also quite lovely & attentive! 10/10 would recommend!
Un joli café & une très belle décoration !!
La vibe est très sympathique ! Le dulce de latte & le très lèches pistachio were just insanely delicious !! Je recommande vivement!
I went to this beautiful café for the first time & absolutely loved it.
The place is stunning, warm, & very welcoming.
The food is delicious, fresh, & healthy, with a great menu selection.
The staff is incredibly kind & attentive, which makes the experience even better.
I truly recommend this place & will definitely be back without hesitation ✨🫶🏼
Café latté incroyable! Service super sympa! Superbe ambiance! Le staff nous a partagé leurs playlists! Je recommande!!
Une superbe découverte ! J'ai pris un tres leches coconut & un latté pistache, & c'était délicieux ! En plus le café est beau, calme & l'ambiance donne vraiment envie d'y rester. J'y retournerai très bientôt !
Loved it! Velora has some of the best desserts (tres leches cakes 🤤) & lattes. Finally a coffee place that stays open later at night for an impromptu treat, a study session or to end a date night on a sweet note 🩷 super friendly staff too!
I will go back to try their other cakes 🤪🧁🍰
Nice vibe & a chai latte with a very sweet flavor & a wonderful aroma. If you love pastries & desserts, the Ferrero tres leches is a must-try - incredibly moist & perfect with any kind of drink. For anyone with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend the Biscoff tiramisu! The employees are very kind, calm, & patient.
I love the atomosphere & the owners are incredibly warm & welcoming. I ordered an earl grey latte & added some of the pistachio sauce that came with my friend's pistachio tres leches cake which he really enjoyed. The earl grey with the pistachio made for the best tasting latte I've ever had. I'll be back very soon for this.
Le latte était excellent ! La pâtisserie n'était pas à mon goût mais l'ambiance était chaleureuse le personnel agréable !
I loved this place ! The decor is beautiful & elegant, the space is large! Great for big groups which we were , the service was awesome & the tres Leche pistachio cake plus latte are absolutely perfect!
Most appalling & confusing service I have ever experienced. It felt like nobody was in charge. When I walked in & said my friend was waiting for me, the waiter greeted me with little enthusiasm. I sat down & after 20 minutes, he still hadn't come to take my order. We had to call him ourselves. When my friend asked for an extra cup for the pretty large teapot she had ordered, the waiter seemed irritated by our request & begrudgingly accepted. Then I placed my order, which seemed to astonish him. My friend finally received her food (after a very long time), & the cake I ordered didn't arrive. We had to remind the waiter about it, which is strange because the place was practically empty. Long after we were done eating, he did not come to clear our plates or to ask us if we wanted anything else. My friend had to call him again to ask for a glass of water (none was provided in the beginning). The waiter brought one, & only one. Which was a total lack of courtesy. Finally, when we went to pay, we asked that the tea be split in half, which the waiter was completely unable to comprehend. He made a single attempt & then gave up. I must add that his language skills in both English & French were very poor, which did not help the situation.
It's really unfortunate, because the place itself is very beautiful & we enjoyed our food very much. The saffron dulce de leche cake was delicious, though it only had one single saffron flower on top.
All in all, I will not be returning to this café. It was not worth the price, &, frankly, the disrespectful indifference with which we were treated.
such a cozy cafe to catch up with friends! loved my pistachio latte, the shakshouka is a must try & definitely don't leave without grabbing dessert, their chocolate mousse is sooo decadent!
Cafe is quiet which is what I enjoy. Lots of people on laptops or quietly chatting. Didn't get a chance to try the pastries in the window but did get a yogurt bowl & latte, which was good. I'd come here again to get some work done.
This is a very new place (approx 2 months) From the outside appearance, this place does look inviting. Once inside past the door, a sign greets you saying'let me assign you a place' &, although a very large space minimalistically decorated & inviting enough, it gives a'sit down restaurant vibe with large tables surrounded by many chairs. More for families i guess rather than the online worker or hang out place.
I personally prefer the walk in'sit where you want' open invitation type cafe.
As far as pastries, this is not your typical croissant flaky pastry place. This one has more Middle Eastern cakes, Baklava & such..
Of course, the menu is more extended that I did not have a look at because that was not what I was looking for..
Now we get to the coffee…I had myself a latte & they do have a selection of three plant milks which consist of oat almond & soy only.
I do not like sugar in my coffee, & this coffee was far too sweet without adding anything extra. The flavouring was more like of caramelized molasses & it left a lingering sticky after taste on my tongue. If you like your coffee sweet from the get go then, this place is for you. it was also rather quite expensive over seven dollars for a cup of Joe without leaving a Tip. The hostess, which was also the barista, was sweet & seemed just as new working In this field. The knowledge of what kind of coffee or bean Was limited to reading the label on the bag.
As far as I'm concerned this place is not for me. It did not cater to what I was looking for & the ambiance although might be good for families, I did not feel comfortable to hang out, not to mention overpriced for my simple experience. I wouldn't be encouraged to go for more.
I like to encourage new openings, but this does not seem to fit with the area & café mentality that we are accustomed to locally.
The experience fell a little flat for me hence my rating.
I loved this place before the renovations. It was more cozy, intimate, with mismatched tables & chairs. The pastries (esp the Persian cakes) & service were also better. While Velora looks nicer now, everything else that made it beloved falls flat. I'm not sure why they have the pastry shelves out at the front, making it look like you can go in & order like a self serve (especially when there are plates near it). The hostess seemed annoyed that I didn't know where to go when I ordered (at the coffee station in the back? Right at the entrance at the hostess desk? At the corner near the pastry shelf?). So already the layout is confusing. Cafés are usually order & then seat. This place doesn't know what it wants to be (a café? A sit down restaurant?) It doesn't help that the hostess (who worked Sunday evening at Nov 23) had this disinterested look on her face & kept clicking on her nails. Also literally the Gen Z stare. She also walked away when I tried to ask questions or follow up on my order (I wanted to order more things). The man who produced my takeout order did the same (just disinterestedly asking me is this your food, & then pushing the takeout bag to me across the counter), so it took 2 more follow ups & me waiting or chasing them down to complete my order with a beverage. The'Persian love' cakes (?) weren't as delicious, moist, fragrant, or large as their previous pastries. I felt cheated with the smaller portion sizes. I am not sure if they changed managament...The lattés are decent though; can't go wrong with anything pistachio. You can come here if you want to feel like being in a beautiful cafe, but food & service is meh.
Tombées dessus par hasard, noue avons passé un excellent moment. Tout était délicieux, l'accueil très agréable & le lieu chaleureux & apaisant. Note spéciale a la brioche perdue & au café lattée pistache 🤩🤩
The Pistachio Tres Leches is A MUST! iv never tasted sth so good & Ive been to most pastry places in Toronto & Montreal! The environment is so calming & the staff are super nice & attentive! P.s: Cherry Match is also totally recommended!
Amazing😋
New taste & really recommended. Enjoy coffee & brunch at this place
