| - I've been to this cafe twice this month and I think I'll be coming back again to have my espresso shots or iced cafe drinks.
My friends and I have been stressing so much of picking the right cafe to study for the exams and we ended up going to these location last week. I got fascinated with the decorations and dim lights the cafe is using as it is not very bright nor too dark. The coffee table, paintings, counter, and everything else are perfectly arranged. We went there on a lunch hour ,so there were only a few people present at that time. The attendants are also prompt and courteous of explaining all of our questions about the food they are serving.
I would say these cafe is perfect for students who need a calm, quiet area to study, but only during the off-peak times of the cafe, like 1pm - 5pm, because after six, I noticed that people in corporate attires or work attire come over with their group of friends and chat. It tends to become busy later within the day so make sure you get yourself a comfy spot in this location (we prefer to stay at the corner right of the cafe because of the direct light and accessibility of outlet behind the couch).
The attendants display great customer service skills because they try to open up conversations with their customers and come to our table promptly to ask whether we need anything else before they leave. (I got so distracted one time when I was paying my bill and I forgot to give my attendant her tip -- sorry, if ever you're reading this).
I always order the cold drinks even though it is winter. I just find it more satisfying and worth it to have this drinks during my stay. It is a bit pricey compared to the common coffee shops such as Timmies or Starbucks, but you get what you pay for. The meals served are ginormous, the drinks are well done with extra attractive designs, and they come really quick to your table!
I say, give the creamy iced mochaccino a try (if you have a sweet tooth like me) to satisfy your chocolate needs. I also ordered the bruschetta meal. I wasnt able to consume everything because there were so much served. I tell you, share the meals with a friend, lover, or relative when ordering food from Cafe Mirage.
The wifi connection here is also satisfying. The download time is very quick unliek nay other coffee shops.
I have tried several "hidden" or "looks hidden" coffee shops in north york to study for my tests/ exams (like Second cup at leslie/ YM), but Cafe Mirage is yet the best coffee shop I've tried.
They also close late (PROS to us. hardworking students!) 1 am - Sat and Sun
2 am - Monday to Friday (I think). They open at 9:00AM
