Reviews for Purple Penguin Cafe in Toronto, ON
I?m not sure how they make the bread purple but it was a great sandwich. Packed full of fresh filling. The bagel was also huge... and delicious. We had to try the fritters so we got Apple and Oreo ones and they were top notch. Read more
Everything was spot on ! Cappuccino , everything breakfast bagel ( no meat) , great customizations, Apple fritter is a must try... its not overly sweet and pairs well with your coffee beverages, hot chocolate. The person who serves behind the counter ( wecame here sat morning) is super warm, very clear in taking down orders and very welcoming , definitely coming back !! Read more
The only place so far that has keto food, and keto late, and keto muffins that don't taste like keto typical muffins. Theses... muffins are as good as regular style muffins and they are keto. The owner is a passionate keto follower and knows how to eatketo. Very impressed. Only place so far that I found to support and offer keto like this places does. This business could go bigwith keto options and her keto muffins is something that could be sold nationally. I really enjoy the location, vibe and thepeople that run the place. Must check out for sure. Lots of none keto options obviously but keto options is what I care aboutin this review from my point of view. I and their keto breakfast sandwich and I just love it. I'd eat it every day. Read more
Cute cafe, really nice people, broad menu, and a signature offering. Stopped by of course for their famous apple fritters. A... bit heavy on the coating and wanted a bit more apple, but it was still very good. Piping hot, good fry (crispy, not oily),perfect amount of sugar. We also got: - Keto Lover: Tasty keto bread, good slab of brie and egg, would have wanted more of thebacon and avocado mayo. - Iced dalgona latte: If you want a really sweet drink, this is for you! Cafe is smallish, but has agood layout to maximize the space, and a great outside seating area. Service is super friendly and customer oriented - they werein the process of changing the oil for the fritters when we got there so had to wait a bit, and they gave us additional frittersfor free! Bonus points for also being open so early at 7:30. I can definitely see why Purple Penguin is a place people waddleto. Read more

I love this cafe. Definitely a hidden gem. I always get their bagel lox and cappuccino!! So good and they don?t skimp out on the... salmon. Their espresso is one of the best in the city I highly recommend if you?re in the east end. Read more
I visited the Purple Penguin Cafe this morning specifically to try their apple fritters. The cafe itself has an inviting... atmosphere with big windows that look out onto Queen St. Seating inside and out. The staff were friendly and care about thecustomer and providing a good overall experience. The apple fritters were great. Big pieces of apple, fried to a deliciouscrispy outer layer with a warm, custard like interior. Dusted with cinnamon and sugar, just the right amount, they are notoverly sweet. Perfect with a coffee. I tried them as soon as I bought them, it was cool outside and the hot crispy fritter wasthe perfect companion. I did prefer them better however after they had been sitting for an hour. Either way they were perfect. Read more
