NEO COFFEE BAR BAY X COLLEGE
About
Reviewers often mention the unique Japanese pastries like the Matcha Cream Cookie Choux and Itried their London Fog and really liked it. Many note that the best place to get matcha is here; the matcha latte was amazing! However, some find the price and size aren't worth it. The atmosphere is frequently described as stylish and warm, perfect for a cozy break or catching up with friends on gloomy afternoons in Toronto. Additionally, the no laptop rule fosters a community social vibe, making it a welcoming space for college assignments or work. Guests point out that while some tables are quite small, there are plenty of seats available. The decaf cappuccino foam is nice and fluffy but the taste can lean slightly bitter. On the other hand, several flag the matcha berry latte as spectacular, even from a person who grew up in Japan. That said, the consensus is that Neo remains a favorite with its unique offerings and excellent service.
