Fabulous breakfast, literally a hidden gem. I highly recommend trying breakfast bagels, just look at the filling and the way eggs are done. The gentleman who works here is very hospitable and welcoming. Great service and food!

A nice and cozy cafe with delicious breakfast sandwiches. I found this place accidentally and so happy I decided to give it a try. Everything was made with fresh ingredients and the bagels were loaded. The coffee was smooth and tasty. The prices are very good, and the owner was a pleasant and nice guy. They have a small bookshelf with books if you need a quiet place to work or read. Highly recommend this place for everyday yummy breakfasts.

Tucked away on the ground level of an office building just west of the Shops at Don Mills is the Sweetway Cafe. I was doing errands and stumbled across this cafe while searching for a quiet place to grab a quick breakfast. To my delight, they offer a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options that won't break the bank, especially since the food is freshly made. The owner was thoughtful and attentive as they carefully made your food. They even have a reading nook! The Sweetwater Cafe is perfect for those who are searching for a quiet place to grab a coffee/breakfast/lunch.

Delicious sandwiches made with fresh ingredients and a lot of love! The café has a soul, and the owner puts in effort to ensure everyone leaves satisfied. I highly recommend their beef sandwich and their bagel with egg and turkey. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality they offer. It's important to support local businesses that truly care about their customers.

This is my very favourite lunch spot. The owner, Bijan, is a lovely man who really takes care to make you the perfect sandwich. The food is always fresh and the place is spotless. It is a cozy, comfortable and welcoming café to enjoy breakfast, sandwiches & wraps, coffee, tea and a little something sweet. As I said, my absolute favourite lunch spot!
