I had such an amazing experience today at Cafe Serano because of Maria!! She was truly a ray of sunshine and was so welcoming! This was my first but definitely not my last time visiting and can’t wait to see Maria again! Really hope she gets all of the most amazing things life has to offer!

A lovely place serving Greek style pastries and coffee. Their gelatos are amazing and the gelato shake is descent. I loved their chicken pie, not a big fan of their spinach pie. Good price food and generous portion. They have indoor seating as well as huge patio. Highly recommend this cafe!

Cafe Serano was amazing! The service was outstanding—friendly and attentive. The cake was delicious, fresh, and perfectly balanced, and the chai latte and mochaccino were just as incredible. Highly recommend this spot!

Hello my dear friends I hope all is well! I have discovered another special cozy cafe I had to share my review Recently I moved into the neighbourhood, so I’ve been out and about and discovering new haunts! Cafe Serano sitting on-the North East corner of Pape at Gamble Ave. So great for those of us in the hood. I came here a few weeks ago with a good friend of mine and I’ve become a regular right away! From the moment you enter the cafe it’s hopping and bopping with LIFE!! I love the Greek music makes for the wonderful atmosphere.Somehow I feel like I’m being whisked away to the Greek-islands(on my bucket list)I have become addicted to their delicious chocolate eclair when you bite into it your tastebuds are dancing the chocolate and cream are so smooth Oh God it’s so delectable!! I NEVER feel guilty after all we all deserve a sweet treat every now and then For me it’s more frequent but worth it every time. The customer services warm and inviting kind and even though I’ve only been coming here a short while the staff already remember me and always greet me with a smile! If savoury is more your style they have various different selections of sandwiches. I love the Americano done to perfection YES my friends you must explore this new haunt of mine and before you know it it will become a wonderful habit and a delight See ya there!!

I love this cafe! If you’re looking for an affordable coffee shop to have some yummy desserts or a something more filling like a toasty sandwich, here is definitely the place. Staff is lovely and attentive. Try them out whenever you’re in the area for a casual dining cafe experience and then head over to Seranos Bakery (just a couple mins down the road) to take some treats to go!

They had a great variety of baked goods. The prices for all the baked goods are very fair. You can buy a lot of thier selection in a small size or a larger size. All the desserts were delicious and good quality. The service is very good an efficient here. There was little to no wait, though the place was always busy, and their parking lot was full. They have a system where you can grab a ticket and someone will come and help you. The staff was very friendly.

Longtime customer of the Serano bakery but haven't been to the cafe as much. Stopped by for a quick bite and got: - Ham and Cheese Sfoliata: Flaky pastry, really tasty filling. I liked how this wasn't overly puffy so was almost like a pizza. - Chicken Salad Sandwich: A bit too light on the chicken but loved the toasted bread. - Nutella Latte and Flat White: Pretty standard. Interior has that typical loungey vibe juxtaposed with a bustling counter. Great outdoor patio seating. Prices are reasonable. Staff is super welcoming and helpful. While the bakery will always be my and my sweet tooth's first stop, this is a good cafe to visit if you're in the area.
