AD Café sits comfortably on Davenport Road, offering a spot where the casual coffee break effortlessly blends with an elevated baked-goods experience. It's the kind of place locals drift into not just for their morning espresso but also to linger over desserts that feel both generous and carefully crafted. The interior carries a modern yet warm vibe—inviting and stylish without feeling staged—making it easy to settle in for a quiet moment or catch up with friends.

One thing that stands out here is their commitment to house-made pastries and desserts. Regulars appreciate generous portions that reward a sweet tooth without feeling overly rich or heavy. The selection leans toward classics but with a confident touch that brings out deep, satisfying flavors. Whether drawn by a croissant that recalls mornings in Paris or a carrot cake that locals find stands out in Toronto’s bustling cafe scene, there is a clear attention to detail in every bite.

The staff add to the welcoming atmosphere with friendly, attentive service that enhances the experience without overshadowing the relaxed pace. While many drop in for the café fare, there’s anticipation in the neighborhood about the restaurant upstairs, hinting at AD Café’s broader culinary ambitions.

Best visited in mid-morning or early afternoon, when natural light filters through the windows and the pace is easy, AD Café fits well into a local routine—whether for a solo coffee break, a casual dessert with company, or a pause between errands. Its location on Davenport conveniently serves the community in this part of Toronto with a quietly modern charm that’s distinct from the usual coffee shop fare.

Great desserts! Generous portions, rich and decadent. The owner and staff were so courteous and kind. We had the tiramisu and dulce cheesecake

Wow - this cafe is exceptional. Absolutely stunning inside, all their baked goods are made in house. Croissants truly as good as getting them fresh in Paris. One of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. Looking forward to coming back to try their restaurant upstairs - but in the meantime, the cafe is now a staple in our rotation.

Absolutely unreal experience! The food was so phenomenal and the chefs did an amazing job making every dish super special. The actual space itself had my jaw on the floor! I could not recommend this spot enough!

What a great new spot! Best carpaccio, tartare, and fish we’ve ever had. The dishes were all presented beautifully and the service is top notch. Amazing Italian evening.

If Toronto cafes had a personality, AD Cafe would be the effortlessly cool friend who’s always got great taste. Tucked along Davenport, it’s a seriously cute spot with modern charm, but everything on the menu is crafted with old-school care. We popped in just before their menu refresh, and still, every bite and sip was giving quality. The tuna sandwich we had on the day we went was fresh and flavourful, and the chocolate & almond croissant had that dreamy buttery flake situation going on. Their matcha was smooth and calming, while the coffee brought that cozy energy we needed. And don’t even get us started on the cocktails and mocktails: beautifully made and just the right amount of fancy without trying too hard.

The cafe is stunning; as you walk in it is bright and airy with beautiful marble bistro tables lining the window. The staff was extremely pleasant and hospitablr. The pastries and desserts in the display counter looked fresh and pretty but tasted even better. I came for the carrot cake; the best Ive had! Can't wait to return!

Such a lovely spot! The chicken focaccia was hands-down the highlight — packed with flavour and made to perfection. The coffee was smooth and satisfying. They have Italian chefs straight from Italy, which really shows in the food quality. The chocolate croissant wasn’t my favourite, but overall, a cozy café with authentic vibes and great service. Definitely worth a visit!
