| - Dazzling Cafe is getting a whopping four stars for two reasons: the decor and the honey toast. Every other aspect is negligible for being average/decent.
Dazzling Cafe in Toronto is a must when you're in the North York region. Located just across from Whale, HCafe, Love Me Sweet, and other notable dessert joints, Dazzling Cafe is a wonderland in its own right. Once you enter, you will be instantly transported to what some would call an adult-sized doll house. Pink and white is the default colour palette here among other pastels. Your eyes - and subsequently your camera - will follow the unicorn that greets customers at the front, the chairs that have been architctured as white rabbits, the jars of pastel marshmallows, the Tweety Bird apron on display, the glamorized cushions, the Hello Kitty collection on the top shelf, and the dessert-themed wall decals. Even the music playing in the background is a siren of Alice in Wonderland! It really is quite dazzling!
The cafe is, in all fairness, a Taiwanese style cafe that has upped the ante. The menu mainly consists of teas, espressos, smoothies, slushes, soups, light entrees, pastas, and one page of waffles and honey toast. We tried the deluxe matcha chocolate smoothie, summer mango honey toast, clam chowder, and the Hawaiian bacon pizza. All of the aforementioned items were a dollar or two pricier as well as smaller in size than what you could get elsewhere, all except for the honey toast. You may be wondering how the cafe got its dreadful Yelp rating. Well, my gut feeling is that people went in expecting a menu that was just as dazzling as the decor. No, that's the wrong way to enjoy yourself here. My advice is to frequent here for dessert only, and by that I mean come with a small group of friends to share a honey toast. We were a party of five and our summer mango honey toast was a good size for sharing. In fact, a family across from us got the Mont Blanc honey toast and it also came out as a super-sized buttery loaf of toast with cream, fruits, sauces, and ice cream on top. Don't worry, if you're not sure how to eat the toast, the staff will cut it up for you. With the toast being like a treasure chest, you open up each layer of the bread to reveal the cubed toast inside, which you dip into the cream, fruits, ice cream and other toppings. It will taste crispy, buttery, creamy, and sweet all at once, playing a melody of flavours on your tongue. My group and I were so blown away by the toast that we all declared it to be the best honey toast that we've had, even compared to those in South Korea. You could say the flavour was just that dazzling!
Dazzling Cafe hits the right chord for being trendy and extraordinary with their honey toast. I highly recommend coming here for dates, birthday meals, and hang outs with friends. Parking in this busy area may be a concern, but if you're lucky, you'll find free public parking in the residential streets. Remember, have your cameras ready.
