Café Névé

Café Névé is quite exceptional so I would recommend anyone to go there and try their drinks ! It’s located in a popular men’s clothing store (frank and oak) at Shops at Don mills. They also have a small barber shop in there as well! I find it quite cool how they offer so many services in one store
It’s definitely not a place to sit for a long time and chat. They offer four comfy seats and a table in the centre. The barista was very friendly and offered useful recommendations and information.
I order a hot chocolate; it tasted like any other chocolate I had. Nothing new. My friend ordered a latte– since they make their drinks in an Italian traditional style, it tasted a bit different than other lattes I had. It was a bit bitter (but in a good way? Not sure how to describe it) and had a nice roasted aroma smell. They don’t fill their drinks all the way to the rim which was the only downside.
Something neat about their menu is that its on a clipboard in front of the cash register. They also include the tax in the prices so there’s no need for «mathing» :)

Café Névé is one of my favourite coffee places in Montréal, so I was super jazzed when I heard that they would be opening an outpost in Toronto. In my excitement, I stopped by on the scheduled opening date only to find the Frank and Oak shop (in which Café Névé is located) in the final stages of construction. After a few more similarly unsuccessful attempts in the following weeks, I gave up. I finally made it out there again a few days ago, now several weeks since it’s confirmed opening, and I was delighted to be rewarded with the same sweet, smooth, and aromatic coffee that made me such a fan of the Café Névé «empire» in Montréal. The only thing I don’t love about this location is the fact that it’s located inside another retail store and it’s not a place where you can just go spend a few hours. That being said, they do have a small seating area with some comfortable looking couches.
The Shops at Don Mills is not my favourite shopping destination and it is kind of out of my way, but you can bet that I will be getting my coffee here whenever I’m even remotely in the area.
And FYI, they have the best chocolate chip cookies. The. Best.
