Specialty drinks, seasonal pastries, and a cafe team known for bringing orders to the table, serving water, and remembering regulars.
The details customers keep mentioning: service, creative bakes, and a calm room to settle in.
Coffee and pastries are brought to your table, water arrives without asking, and plates are cleared when you're done.
From pistachio scones and miso chocolate cookies to Chana Masala puff pastries, the menu gives regulars a reason to check back.
The team remembers your name, your order, and your birthday. Complimentary treats, custom recommendations, and genuine warmth every visit.

"For a Moment, my heart has been stolen."
The barista gave me tea in a teapot. And sliced my scone. And toasted it. And added butter. He delivered all of this to my table and also brought me a glass of water. When I asked for milk for the tea, he steamed some milk and brought it to me in a lil jug.
"It's like restaurant level service at a cafe."
The BEST part of this cafe is hands down their service. Every single time I step into this cafe, I'm met with nothing but kindness and just over the top service. The barista always brings the coffee to our table, and takes our plates once we're done.
"This place feels as warm and cozy as afternoon sun on a cold winter's day."
Maybe it was the warm water served with my coffee and pastries, or the easy, effortless banter with the baristas. I watched a few patrons light up as they walked in, realizing they were regulars who knew the baristas by name.
"He surprised us with a complimentary pastry on the house and started playing Taylor Swift over the speaker."
Drinks and pastries were amazing but the service is really what made Moments above and beyond. Our barista described the whole menu in detail, and we gave him friendship bracelets because he was so kind.
"They slipped a free baguette in my bag and wrote a lovely message on my box of cookies."
I stopped in here while going through a hard time. The barista asked me how I was and I broke down. They were so incredibly kind. I will never forget their kindness or their delicious sandwiches.
"I always walk out the door better than I walk in. A coffee shop can do that?"
I have been coming here religiously since the very beginning. The food and drinks are really good, but the service and atmosphere make Moments my favorite coffee shop in the city. I come here to get calm, clear, and focused.
When Thanh opened Moments on Dundas West, he had a simple vision: create a space where every guest feels genuinely welcome. Not the rehearsed kind. The real kind, where your barista remembers your name, surprises you on your birthday, and steams milk just the way you like it.
That vision shows in every detail. The handmade pastries that change with the seasons. The patterned tiles and mismatched cups that give each table its own character. The way water appears at your table before you think to ask. Customers call it "restaurant-level service at a cafe," and Thanh would say he's just doing what feels right.
413 five-star reviews later, Moments has become a quiet anchor in the Dundas West community. Regulars work here for hours. Tourists stumble in by chance and leave calling it their new favourite. The coffee is exceptional, the bakes are creative, but what people remember most is how they felt.
