Reviews for Cafe Maxim's in North York, ON
This is a very subjective review. Cake was pretty good and tea was in a teabag. No issues. Unfortunately, they had live music... on my visit Saturday night. The quality of the singing was karaoke level. So it was a bit grating and loud so harder tochat. Just don't go when they're doing live music. Read more
Good value lunch set. We had smoked salmon pasta and pork chop fried rice
Love their cake, bought them like twice a year. Updated: tried a matcha cake from t&t the other day and the cake and everything... tasted much inferior to the matcha cake offered here. You never how good something it until you compare it to somethinginferior. (Photo is chestnut cake) Read more
Bump into this recently open Cafe and Patisserie. Selection are quite limited. Wish they had indicated that there is an... increased for pastry when you sit-in - like $2 more for a price of cake! That is certainly not the way to do business bydeception. It seem they also do cooked meals for lunch and dinner too. I guess one should be prepared for a BIG bill at the endwhere there may be surprised charges. Read more
I've been coming to Maxim's since I was a little girl. Their Dark Chocolate Mousse is my absolute favourite, although they seem... to be getting smaller and smaller.. Read more
Okay pastries had good fillings but stale filo dough. However, what I really took away from my visit was the terrible customer... service. I walked in and asked for 10 mins if they took card for payment as I didn't have cash on me and was told yes. Then whenI go to pay the same server looks at me weird and asks for cash, completely unaware of our conversation not 10 seconds earlier.To avoid the awkward situation I went to go get cash. When I came back to pay and let the staff know they shouldn't be sayingyes they take card when they have a spending limit. I wouldn't have placed an ordered otherwise. The owner looked disgusted atme for asking such a normal question and simply shoed me off like I was unimportant when letting her know she and her staff werenot clear. I came here for pastries on a Sunday afternoon but got a subpar coffee and a shameful experience. Will absolutelynever be back for brunch because of this service. Safe to say it was my first and last time here. TLDR; If you want to enjoyyour day, please don't come here. Read more
Nice staff and good service here. Food and pastries were excellent. Decor was a underwhelming and I felt sorry for the fish in... the murky tank but I like the layout of the place. They have a cafe in front and at the back a restaurant with a bar. Somechanges can really make this place stand out further. Read more
I can say ?Cake is the great one in town? Severs or staffs are friendly and hospitable. But manager or owner I guess needs to be... explained what customer service is. I will tell all friends won?t come here. It?s disappointing me a lot. I drove 45 mins fromdowntown to get this kinda service! Read more
