About The Jolimont Cafe

Tucked away on a sleepy Forest Hill backstreet, this neighbourhood haven pours dependable, smooth coffee alongside an ambitious all-day menu. Tables spill out into a heated garden courtyard where four-legged companions get their own puppuccinos. Regulars lean into the globe-trotting daytime roster—pivoting easily from stack-high Canadian French toast and crisp hash browns to Thai red curry and nasi goreng. Between the kitchen and the garden patio, chai lattes come properly spiced in ceramic mugs beside rotating slices of moist orange cake.

  • Dog-Friendly Garden Courtyard: The leafy back patio is fully set up for pets, complete with puppuccinos, patio heaters, and cozy blankets.
  • East-Meets-West Menu: Morning staples like pulled pork benedict sit alongside hot lunch dishes such as nasi goreng and Thai red curry.
