Bean Around the World

Do not order the Peameal bacon on Ciabatta bread sandwich unless you like paying $ 7+ tax for a shite sandwich with processed cheese. Expect everything to be 10% more than Starbucks on average.
When I spoke to the barista, he just smiled (like approvingly of my complaint) and asked me to speak to the owner instead! Unreal, stick to the overpriced coffee occasionally and you’ll be ok.

It’s wonderful to find a coffee shop that cares so deeply about its product and customers. Wonderful service, knowledgeable and plenty of beverages to choose from.

it is a franchise coffee shop from the west, but it has the personal touch of small shop. There are regular art show, open mic for local artists.
Staff are friendly; coffee and pastry are yummy. I would love to visit there more often especially on Friday evenings for the Open Mic.

Beans Around the World is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
A franchise from BC and I am quite surprised that they opens up their first location in the East Coast in Markham!
The setup reminds me of Second Cup. My cappuccino was OK but cannot really compared to a well crafted espresso drink in some of the indie espresso bar.
Good place to have a coffee when in the area or to meet up with friends as the interior is quite spacious.
Barista is super friendly.
I would be back for an Americano and maybe some of those delicious looking pastries!
BTW, if you are like me, don’t like cocoa powder sprinkle on top of your cappuccino, make sure you tell the barista when you put in your order. sigh…

Went in today and ordered an Americano, it was nice and strong how I like it and also ordered a french toast apple muffin which was really good. The interior is really nice and the menu is extensive. Only thing is that they didn’t seem to have lactose free milk and only had soy milk for people who don’t take dairy in their drinks, hopefully they add lactose free milk for their coffee options. Other than that I’ll be coming here for my coffee and espresso over Starbucks.

I like places like this. Open area with a few tables to enjoy your drink.
Since this is a new place I asked the person at the front counter what she would recommend. I already knew what I wanted but I just wanted to see what she would say. As if she were reading my mind she actually hit it right on the spot and recommended a frappé. I saw salted caramel as one of the flavours and I would sold right away. $ 4.99 is pretty much standard pricing these days but still ask myself why I spend $ 5 on a drink.
It tasted amazing and very refreshing on a hot summers day. Service was great and very speedy.

New coffee place in Markham, yay! Bright, clean and spacious with a modern interior, this café is a good place to meet up for a coffee or a meal. There’s also free wifi so it’s definitely a good alternative to Starbucks! They currently serve coffee, tea, baked goods (cakes, muffins, scones) and hot sandwiches. There’s also a Neapolitan pizza menu with a ‘Coming Soon’ sign on it. Coffee beans and tea leaves are available for sale too looking at the board.
We had a Flat White and an Americano, both were good. Credit to the BEAN espresso roast! The hot Italian baguette was tasty too. We also tried their scones but found it too doughy for our liking.
Will come back for sure to try their other menu items. Perhaps for coffee and dessert after dining in Osaka Sushi right next door!

This coffee shop is right beside one of my go to sushi restaurant, Osaka. I saw that it was finally open and decided to give them a try. I was warmly welcomed by two employees. I noticed right away that the interior was very modern and they had a huge selections of drinks and food. I was informed that the pastries were freshly baked in house and I saw that they have a pizza menu coming soon. I believe that this is a franchise from Vancouver and they’re opening up two locations in Ontario.
I decided to try their iced white chocolate mocha ($ 5.65). I thought that the coffee was decent but I was hoping that more of the white chocolate came through. As for the price, I think they’ll have a difficult time competing because there’s a Starbucks down the street, three Tim Hortons around and two McDonald’s (for a super cheap option).
However, I’m excited to try some of their pastries and even their pizza. I’ll definitely do an updated review on their food!
