I wish I could give this place more stars for everything. Recently I discovered this place as it appeared to be Top Rated on maps. I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful this cafe is and then came the best part; their menu. Sheesh, it’s an Indian cafe with the BEST chai and coffee snacks. Their maskabun and vada pav are must haves. And then you have cheela, sanwiches, pastas and what-not. I have already recommended this place to my friends and every single one of them loved it as much as I do. It has become a regular spot for my coffee and cozy book reading. I hope that they grow and expand their seating soon so more people can enjoy this exquisite place
This is my new fave cafe ! I already can’t wait to go back. It’s absolutely beautiful in here and the atmosphere is amazing with the very kind, patient and helpful duo that run this spot. I tried the iced matcha with almond milk and absolutely love the Indian style cold coffee ! I definitely have to try some meals next time and the orange chocolate coffee. There really is a drink for everyone, I had so much trouble deciding what to drink. Everything sounds amazing !
Went in midday today for a coffee and was really impressed by this cafe! I had the Ferrero Rocher Coffee which was served super hot and had a strong Ferrero flavour- it was very good, not too sweet. I also got the Samosa (which I forgot to take a photo of) but that was AMAZING. So much flavour, crunchy and served with a sweet/spicy/tangy sauce. It had a potato filling and it's a good size too. Service was fast, servers were nice.
One of the most eye pleasing restaurants near Scarborough. Its a pure hidden gem. Their food quality is superb! Tastes amazing too. Highly recommended. P.S I am in love with the Maggi Noodles!!
Ashro Cafe is the ultimate spot for a nostalgic snack break. Their Maggi is perfectly seasoned and "yum," hitting that exact spot for comfort food cravings. Paired with the "India Wali Coffee"—which is wonderfully frothy and tastes just like the classic hand-beaten coffee from home—it’s a winning combination. The vibe is chill, the service is friendly, and the prices are very affordable. If you want a simple yet delicious treat that reminds you of home, this is definitely the place to go!
This was a cafe that's been on my bucket list for a while now, and I have to say that it's a place I'd come back to again! This cafe is Indian inspired (halal too!), and has fusion meals and desserts! Customer service was amazing, and the interior of the cafe is so beautiful! We ordered the ferrero rocher coffee (more chocolate flavoured, not heavy on coffee, more like a milkshake), latte (not too strong, but good), croissant, and banana muffin. There's plenty of parking available, you may need to go around quite a bit to park in front of the cafe since it's in the back of the plaza (I feel like their signs should be more vibrant so people can know which way to go). Note: not much seatings available.
Such a peaceful and cozy spot! The food at Aashro is honestly amazing — everything I tried was super flavorful and fresh. The staff are really sweet and make you feel comfortable right away. The vibe is calm, aesthetic, and perfect if you just want to chill, study, or catch up with friends. The decor is so warm and peaceful, with plants, soft lighting, and relaxing music in the background. Definitely one of those places you end up wanting to come back to again and again!
