Faema Caffe

Faema Caffe 672 Dupont St. 416 535 7147



When Faema first opened it was a small café that sold coffee machines. It was also a place to sit and have a great cup of coffee. Today it is a bustling caffe with delicious food. In the summer the tented area in the parking lot is always busy. There is parking in the complex and it is a relaxing informal restaurant celebrating 50 years of excellence in the coffee business.

Needless to say the coffee is superb and a variety of types are available. Five women went on a rainy Sunday afternoon after purchasing way too much at a jewellery sale. We actually sat for about 3 hours and sipped our coffee, ate and had many laughs. The place was full but tables kept becoming available. We were advised that guests should allow 20 minutes to create the desired meal. The Capuccino(s) were declared to be the finest in the city.

The Homemade Soup of the day was Mushroom Puree.($5.99) I had a dinner to attend in a few hours and was concerned about eating too much in the early afternoon. The bowl of soup was enormous. It was creamy and rich and the flavor of mushrooms burst in my mouth. I was thrilled to hear there was no cream in the preparation.

On this Sunday the Bagel Special included Mozzarella, tomato, basil pesto and red onion.($6.95) The Breakfast Wrap Special was scrambled egg, cheddar cheese, ham, and peppers served with roasted red potatoes.($8.95)

The young couple at the next table was enjoying a Pizza. I had to restrain myself from reaching over and grabbing a slice. The special Pizza was Spinach with oregano, olive oil, Mozzarella and homemade tomato sauce. The crust was thin and the toppings looked so tasty.($11.95)

Penne Portobello is prepared with a cream sauce and Portobello mushrooms. Baked Manicotti was another popular dish prepared with ricotta and spinach and served with mixed greens. Both pasta specialties are $12.95.

Three choices of Panini were available as specialties. The Eggplant Parmigiana is offered at $6.95.One of our party ordered the Spicy Chicken Wrap with tomatoes and cheddar.($7.95) She said it was delicious and even took home half of it because it was so enormous.

The Weekly Dessert Feature was Rum and Egg Nog Cheescake.($4.95) Check out all the pastries on the counter. They look mouth watering delicious.

The regular menu is extensive. One of the friends ordered 2 different flavors of the home made Gelato. We all shared and agreed that it was the amazing. The flavors burst on the palate.

What a fun place. It is always busy. The food is fresh and very tasty. We had such a great time and agreed it was a wonderful place to meet for a light meal or coffee and a pastry. The place is large so even though it is busy you will probably be seated in short time. When we weren’t chatting and laughing we were watching the platters going by to the happy clients.

Faema gift cards are available and make a wonderful holiday gift. I hope I receive one.
