Great comfy food. Frequent choice for a nice hearty lunch choice. Their hot food chalkboard menu is delicious.

Decent food, Amazing coffee, fast service, great ambiance and Fabulous prices. What more do you want? I had the turkey egg omelet, with a side salad with a latte, it filled me up till dinner because of the large portions!

Decent menus, quick service and reasonable prices. Had the eggs bene, decent size. The salad was nothing to brag about. Overall would recommend if you're looking for a place with a low key atmosphere and decent food for a good price.

Enough seats and food menu. I ordered waffle( with whipping cream, chocolate and ice cream) and coffee. It was good. I like to read a book with coffee here. Very quiet.

This is a great place to go if you're in a rush and want to grab a quick bite to eat. It's got a cafeteria style setting and the menu is fairly large. You can grab the quick sandwiches or wraps to go, or order something to take out as well. There is an all day breakfast menu that has various types of croissants and bagel combinations, which all taste great.

If you staying to dine in, there are... more

Open rafters, free wifi, all day breakfast.....If I were a student looking for a place to hunker down to do some studying, this would be my favorite place, hands down.

Alas, those days are long gone. Now I'm skeptical about their mediocre coffee, the average eggs that I can make myself, and wifi? Nah, I gots that data plan!

I'll come here again, all points aside, mainly if I'm simply looking... more

I have been visiting this cafe for many years. It has been there for me for a long time. But as of today, no more. I am very good at boycotts. I made a plan to spend about 45 minutes in The Croissant Tree with my laptop, an all day breakfast, and a nice cup of coffee. It was around 3PM. I get to the counter and was immediately told that all they have is a Reuben Sandwich. I asked "dont you have... more

Very good coffee and croissants. Breakfast was good but the potatoes were quite bland. Atmosphere is very nice. There is lots of space to sit including couches.

Really great place to grab breakfast and just down the street from one of my friend's place! Every time I go over, that's where I gravitate to have breakfast. They have a wonderful selection of steeped teas and of course, their croissants are amazing. Definitely recommend if you're in the Yonge and Church intersection area, and its only a few minutes walk from Bloor-Yonge Subway station.

Currently visiting Toronto and staying in the Yonge/Bloor area and looking for a good croissant place. Had a plain croissant and was pretty disappointed. Coffee was decent and there is free wifi but if you're seeking a great croissant then skip this place. I found the croissants at saint lawrence market much better particularly the ones on the main floor - future bakery?

It's a very big coffee shop with lots of options for brunch. Portions are big and taste OK but maybe not perfect.
It's good if you want to seat in a good neighborhood and have no one bother you to get out soon

Superb place to eat on a slow weekend morning. Excellent prices, warm environment, superb and friendly service. They even have Internet should you need it, no cost. Excellent breakfasts, quiet, centrally located , just a highly recommended restaurant to visit and often!

Probably more of a 3.5 star, but yelp doesn't allow that.

I came here three times to get coffee/breakfast during my 4 days in Toronto. We kept coming back because it was extremely close to our hotel, not expensive, relatively fast, and they had wifi (our hotel only had it in the lobby!).

We tried a variety of croissants and danishes each day, and the coffee and espresso drinks. My lattes were... more

Patio is nice. You can see potential in the place. Lots of coffee options too.

I wasn't blown away though. I keep meaning to go back but keep ending up at other places instead.

Looks like a good crowd on weekends.

Great outdoor patio to sit and enjoy breakfast. The surrounding trees make this patio very nice and breezy. The fresh smoothies are delicious and their omelettes are cooked to perfection.

Food was good when it came. Had to remind the waitress that we were still waiting. When it came out, it was cold. Others who came after us were midway through their meals. The food itself was good but would have been nice to have it warm.

This place is great - came here on a weekend away and had a great eggs benny for under $10, including coffee! Good other selections too (waffles, omlettes etc). Coffee selection was perfectly adequate.

We came back a second time the next day. This place is seriously good value and basically just what you need when you don't want to pay $30 for a c@!%!y hotel breakfast.

Good breakfast: so why so empty

I went here for breakfast on a very cold morning. The breakfast was good. I was surprised that I was sitting almost alone in this nice place. Service was friendly.

I like their croissants! I don't like the sweet ones, but the one with bacon and cheese and the spinach-feta version are among my top breakfast choices. I live just 100 meters away, so I always get them fresh right out of the oven ... The coffee is bad, that's true.

Awesome deli with a full breakfast menu and great salads. This was located right outside my hotel in Toronto. The prices were really reasonable for a downtown spot. Grab a coffee and a salad, and settle in next to the windows to watch the Toronto sidewalk traffic pass by.

A very nice place! First of, very spacious - you can always find a seat.
They have a great assortment of foods to choose from, from regular sandwiches, to croissants, and quinoa salads and all sorts of things. I really enjoy their food selection.

The coffee selection is rather limited, usually to three choices (at least the times I've been there). However, they have some interesting blends and... more

Here is my biggest problem that I have with this place. It's name the Croissant Tree, but they don't have good croissants!

I mean, I've had worse. But I was expecting a memorable experience while eating there. But realistically it wasn't a memorable one.

I also had their grilled cheese which was greasy as hell. This was a terrible lunch and I expected more. Maybe I expected too much, but I... more

Why come here: you work/live in this area and want "fancy breakfasts" for under $10.

Why you shouldn't come here: you want extremely good coffee (better options around the area).

I'm on a quest to find the best value breakfast in the Yonge/Bloor/Yorkville area.

Atmosphere: Like a high end coffee shop and has Wi-Fi and CP24. Has a patio. Pretty nice and seems good for meeting up with clients... more

Compared to the vegetarian omelette I'd had in the hotel restaurant the day before, the omelette at The Croissant Tree was impossibly fluffy and full of fresh cut vegetables; the potato chunk fries were golden and delicious; and the coffee was spectacular. I think this speaks more about the horrible hotel food than what the Croissant Tree presented, which was all very nice and promptly served... more

A bit costly for less than average food

The prices are too high for the quality of food.
I would definitely recommend going around the corner to Tim Hortons to grab a light snack than spend a lump sum of money at this place.
My croissant was dry. Period.

Bored of the neighbourhood lunch options, I stopped in after seeing sign outside advertising the special of the day, a pulled pork sandwich with fries for $7.95. Given my unofficial quest to eat every pulled pork sandwich in Toronto, I gave it a try. It was actually good and satisfying with a really sweet barbecue sauce surrounding the shredded pork between the panini bun. While not memorable,... more

Lovely place for a quick bite

We visited early for breakfast and weren't disappointed. I had a lovely cheese and ham croissant and the nicest hot chocolate I've ever had. My partner had the western omelette and said it's the nicest he has eaten in years. Service was quick and staff were really friendly. I'll definitely be back

I live right down the street from The Croissant Tree, and they have great lunch/salad/panini options that are healthy, tasty and affordable. They also have free wifi that you can use without being hassled for staying too long. I really love their small selection of fresh juice as well. It is never too crowded, and has a patio on Charles Street that is well used when the weather is nice.... more

Love this place, especially for breakfast!
+friendly staff.
+delicious, and inexpensive, food. I have been here 5-10 times and everything I have tried is great
+ fairly wide selection of food, from breakfast to the salad bar
+ I like that they have a water cooler & water for everyone to take.
+ lots of selection at the coffee bar
+ very cool look to the place, with couches, etc
+ free wi-fi!
+... more

Enjoyed the food there. Been there for breakfast and lunch several times during my Toronto trip. It was just across the street by my hotel. They had free WiFi.

Quaint restaurant at a great location. Came here for a late lunch, though I regret not going there in the morning since they've got $1 croissants.

Seating indoors is plentiful and they also have a pretty decent sized patio which makes it great for big groups

The menu had quite an extensive selection of sandwiches. I got the grilled cheese with tomato with a side of sun-dried tomato pasta... more

Excellent Lunch Spot

My colleagues and I always head over to this croissant tree location for lunch. They have lots of lunch options (hot/cold sandwiches, salads, soups, breakfasts, hot food and pastries). There's also plenty of seating in their newly renovated seating area. One of the best lunch places in the area.

Environment: This place just had a complete makeover! it's looks really nice and modern now ( with comfy sofas and couches!)

Food: Honestly, I use to think their croissants aren't so great BUT now I LUV their croissants! I think they changed their recipe or something...when I go get one in the morning, they are still hot~ fresh out of the oven & they taste sooo good. Their Breakfast menu is... more

Not bad. Decor dates from the dotcom boom days but it still looks pretty good. It's not a super busy place so you can eat in peace, although the food was middling.

Lola's Commissary is just across the street if you want fancier food and a more energetic atmosphere.

Loved the outdoor patio on a sunny spring day. Their breakfast specials are great, and oh soo hearty- your choice of toady, fries and drink with your pick.
They also have free wifi and comfy overstuffed couches inside.

I will open this review with an angry glare.
If you have seen that episode of How I met Your Mother where Lily has that "You're dead to me look", that is totally the look I'm going for.
Specifically, when the bodega dude messes up her coffee.

The Croissant Tree to me is that bodega...if the bodega was a dimly lit, dingy establishment with stale croissants and a way-overpriced breakfast.

I... more

This is a place with a lot of potential, that really falls short.

It's in a great location, big space...lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They have a varied menu, lots to choose from.

BUT...

A couple times I've gotten coffee from there, it's had a lingering hazelnut or other flavored coffee taste. Someone is obviously not washing out the carafs properly. The croissant I got from there was... more

I miss The Croissant Tree.
I used to go here for lunch regularly when I worked on Bloor Street and almost always got the same thing: the chicken avocado melt with side salad. There are lots of options for side salad, so that was where I would "spice it up" - maybe I was boring with the same sandwich, but I'd always try a different salad - fruit, pasta, greek, ceasar, and they are all freshly... more

I worked in the same building as Croissant Tree, so during the summer I ate here A LOT.

And...it was okay. I mean, they never switched up the menu and so it all became stale. So I should do my best to look at it objectively:

Pro - they've got wi-fi
Con - they really don't like you staying if you're not eating or drinking something from there
Pro- lots of tables
Con - It's pretty... more

This is a great place to sit and do work if you want a switch of from your local Starbucks. This place has free wireless internet, and a bunch of computers lined up against a wall. It's also huge and has high ceilings and tons of seating.

Now the food. It's a great place for a quick lunch. They make tons of made to order sandwiches (the BLT is my fav!) and they have tons of soups. By far my... more
