Reviews for UB Social Cafe & General Store. in Toronto, ON

Yummy pastries, friendly service and my favorite takeout window in the Junction (even during winter!).

London fog tea with steamed milk. They steep the tea over night, which adds so much flavor. My go-to Junction cafe to read.... Lovely owners too! Read more

I drink latte here every morning! Also, the first croissant sandwich I tried today is very delicious????

Fresh flaky croissant sandwiches, excellent pastries, great coffee and cold drinks. Take out window on the sidewalk, easy to... stroll up and order, friendly owners. CafeTO tables out front. Read more

The drinks are good but the servers are inconsistent. Unless you want to get gaslit whenever they get the orders wrong, don't... go. I ordered a black iced chai; he repeated the order back to me and then handed me an iced matcha and rudely insisted I saidmatcha. They've consistently messed up my orders the past three times I've gone. Won't be going back. Read more

American misto was perfect, as was my dark chocolate cookie with about 2lb of chocolate and sugar in it! Worth the... calories! Window front Rollys door is charming and reminds me of Europe. Highly recommended and apparently m not a secretjudging by the lineup of locals. Read more

Intrigued by UB Social?s catchy, double entendre name (The ?UB? stands for ?Unemployed Baker? - so clever), inviting small... window frontage and enticing sandwich board advertising we?ve been meaning to pop by for lunch for a long while. Not long agothe return of summer weather afforded us the opportunity to pop by and order lunch to share in a nearby parkette. Here?s thegood part of the experience. The person at the window was super friendly and clearly enjoyed chatting about the varioussandwiches on offer. We were particularly intrigued by the 10K Sandwich (named for the fact that it was awarded a $10,000 prizeat a sandwich contest in NYC), and the description of the pear and brie filling convinced us that it was something we had tohave. For our second sandwich we chose a turkey salad with cranberries croissant, a pretty standard go-to for us so we werecurious to try this version. We also impulsively ordered up a savoury tart that was on display in the window (thinking this wasour typical over-indulgence but what the heck) as well as a small bottled water to share. The 10K Sandwich was reallydelicious, with a very nice proportion of pear to a high quality brie and a tasty bread to keep it all together as we stuffedour faces. We?re glad we ordered it for sure. And this is where we slide into the not-so-good aspect of the experience. Theturkey salad croissant was OK, but certainly nothing we?d order again. There was far too much mayonnaise and what turkey wasthere was so finely chopped that it was hardly discernible as poultry. The cranberry sauce was unremarkable and because of thehigh proportion of mayo it didn?t add that delicious tart-sweetness that makes the turkey/cranberry combination an überpairing. And both sandwiches were small - like, really small. Normally we?re thoroughly satisfied with a sandwich each forlunch, but in this case we were looking forward to the savoury tart to fill the hunger gap. Unfortunately the tart was similarlysmall Read more
