Hojicha latte, anyone?

Okay so it’s not exactly new, but it is in a new location and has a new vibe to match. And with a gorgeous indoor/outdoor garden aesthetic and a large outdoor terrace facing Mount Ainslie, it’s the perfect pit stop for an ONA coffee between browsing shops. As for the food menu? For those looking for a delicious meal, you’ll find goodies like pancakes with guava maple syrup, strawberries, strawberry sorbet, rose mascarpone and marshmallow, along with all of their old favourites.

Along with classic coffee, on the drinks menu you’ll find matcha lattes and Korean soft drinks, while the food menu is a playful Korean take on street food with a nostalgic nod to homestyle cooking. But they also have pastries from Three Mills Bakery if you just need to grab something to go!
