Reviews for Balzac's Market Street in Toronto, ON
Absolutely amazing. Tried the fall special pumpkin spice coffee and it's the best one we've had so far. A well balanced drink.... The ambience is original and pretty nice. Will definitely go there again Read more
What a beautiful location! The vibes are great. Even though my matcha latte cost almost $9 (after tax and tips), this is still a... great location to catch up with friends or just enjoy some down time once in a while. If you don't live around the area, parkingcould be tricky but it's still nice to be able to visit the St. Lawrence Market just next door. P.S. Understandably thateveryone has bad days, service can be a bit friendlier. Cheers and have a good day. Read more
I used walk pass and wanted to try this coffee place. 1st impression was already uplifting by its deco and atmosphere. It?s... located right by St. Lawrence Market along with some other cool restaurants. I ordered a cup of de-cafe coffee since it?s doneby the Swiss water technique, so it won?t remove much of the original core of notes. Also it?s one of my favourites columbianroasted beans that I found has a creamier, bolder nutty note. The lovely staff was very kind to offer me an Americano instead ofregular drip coffee cuz they ran out of decafe brew. But she charged me for a regular drip coffee price with a great smile. Forthat, I think they deserve a great review. They also offer all types of complimentary non-dairy milk options ( Soy, almond, oat) on the side of the counter. Now that?s real rare to find. Of course, the coffee is as smooth as I expected. I love to supportlocal roasters, the coffee beans are way earthier and less synthetic coated as compare to normal chained coffee shops. Xoxo ????

Yes the latte was very good but the atmosphere and location are what I liked most about this place. You get a great view of the... St Lawrence Market and there's a lot of hustle and bustle with it being such a busy area. The cafe interior has this old-world,historic charm to it too. Read more
I tried their Café Canadien and it was too sweet for my taste. Liked the atmosphere and interior design nonetheless.
Still my favourite cafe / coffee shop from the first time I had them in Stratford ontario! Had one of their seasonal lattes... this time which is the oat milk cookie latte and just as tasty as the other drinks. Smooth and creamy from the milk and niceespresso taste from the latte! Balzac?s will always have my heart! Great job on everything always! Follow me on IG@thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content! Read more
Given a choice between a big chain versus an independent coffee shop, support local! I had a seasonal "Café Harvest" latte... made with a plant based oat milk - otherwise known as a pumpkin spiced latte. Staff were efficient and super friendly. Be sureto enjoy your coffee or tea outside on their lovely patio, sitting underneath the cheery yellow umbrellas. Pro tip: If youenjoyed your visit, check out their other location with a very distinctive decor, in the Distillery District - about a 15minute walk away. Read more
Nice spacious coffee just across the Saint Lawrence market with inside and outside seating. They have a lot of food options to... chose from and you can also buy coffee and tea items for you to make / use at home. I enjoyed my café canadien. The lemonadewas good too. Read more
