Platform is a cutely designed little cafe located beside Hibiki on Highway 7. They're still on their soft opening and more items are slowly being added to the menu. Came here twice. Once just for coffee and another time for their food.
Drinks
Their coffee beans are from HatchCrafted which I think is a local coffee company as their brewery is located in Markham. I've seen their drinks offered at Wholefoods too. That being said, the espresso and drip coffee were both quite light but the flavour notes tastes exactly how it is described. Unique flavours but a bit too light for my liking. Similarly their matcha latte could be stronger too, but I got it with no syrup and normally prefer a bitter matcha, which I think the milk slightly overpowered the matcha.
Food
Sunrise waffles - yum! I really liked this. The jam paired with the caramelized onions and mushrooms blended really well together. This waffle sandwich was more on the sweet side even with the bacon and egg, which I didn't mind at all. The waffles were soft with a hint of herb taste to them. I paired it with a salad to lighten it up. Good portion size.
Breakfast nachos - cute concept but I think missed the mark slightly. Toppings were ok, although the homefries were a bit salty for my liking. The nachos with cream cheese sauce was what threw me off. Perhaps just keeping it as a hash would be better, but I do like the idea of breakfast nachos.
Overall may come back to try their baked goods as the owner just told me they just got an oven installed!! They gave us a complimentary biscotti which had great flavour. I'm not a biscotti fan because of the dryness but their flavours were promising.
