About Tori’s

Tucked down a cobblestone laneway, Tori’s delivers focused matcha drinks alongside delicate Asian-inspired bakes. Couches and mismatched vintage furniture set an easy, living-room pace away from the city crush. Lines form regularly for balanced iced matcha and creamy hojicha that dodge bitterness entirely. Pair drinks with butter tteok—crisp-edged and chewy through the centre—or a slice of jasmine matcha Basque cheesecake topped with floral cream.

  • Precision Matcha and Hojicha: Smooth matcha and creamy hojicha preparations, including iced strawberry matcha and sesame blends, dialed in without harsh bitterness.
  • Asian-Inspired Patisserie: A pastry cabinet showcasing butter tteok with crisp edges, ube cheesecake, and jasmine-topped Basque cheesecake.
  • Homestyle Laneway Setting: Couches and vintage furnishings nestled down Niagara Lane provide a warm, living-room escape from the CBD hustle.

  • Artisan Asian Patisserie & Cakes

    The bakery serves innovative Asian-inspired patisserie items like butter tteok, jasmine matcha Basque cheesecake, and ube cheesecake.

    The tteok had a genuinely satisfying contrast: crisp and golden on the outside, soft and chewy through the centre, with a richness that didn’t feel heavy.

  • Jasmine Matcha Basque Cheesecake

    Cutting in the first bite is smooth, has a lovely matcha flavour, the cheesecake is light, still has that gooeyiness of the Basque cheesecake, light crumb and is really delicious.

    Pair specialty drinks with distinct Asian-inspired signatures like the chewy butter tteok, jasmine matcha Basque cheesecake, or ube cheesecake from the cold display.

  • Lean on staff for table seating

    The cafe features vintage couches and living-room-style seating; staff actively help visitors coordinate seats even during busy periods.
