Air Canada Cafe

Much prefer the service and food at the cafe compared to the 4th floor domestic lounge and the international one as well. Special shout-out to Ashe the barista for making such a good drink

This is not a typical lounge of Air Canada. Recently, the lounge has been getting busier, so we wanted to try this cafe out. We liked this cafe concept, even though it was smaller, it was less busy. However, during the most recent visit, it was difficult to find a seat. After an hour or so, I noticed there was a line outside. Once you got it, you would be welcomed by a wall of food packed in boxes, which you could pack and go, as well as drinks. The bar looked decent, too.

A great option at the Toronto airport instead of going to the maple leaf lounge. The atmosphere is very different, it is newer more hip. But there's less seating and so that can be an issue if you are coming with a larger group. SO waiting a few minutes might solve that problem. The coffee bar is a great addition where you can order so many different types of drinks. The options of food is limited compared to other lounges but they are sufficient. What makes this lounge probably better than any other is the to go option. I saw many different people packing many to go bags to take with them. There are things such as wraps, yogurts drinks fruit etc... the bar has a few different drafts and wines. You can get certain from what was on the menu.. there is fresh juice but you have to get it from the bar. There were two bartenders this day. One of them was good the other one was very slow and by that I mean super slow almost apathetic towards his job.

We were just going through YYZ and left the lounge to check out the cafe. My wife and I both prefer the food selection and the take out option. There is limited seating, but it was not crowded when we visited, but the Dom lounge was getting busy.

Smaller than your typical AC lounge but not as many people can get in, which means it may not be as busy. Wednesday morning was packed with 95% of the seats taken at 6am. The food was good. Oatmeal was a lovely breakfast. Didn't try any of the hot food but it's there along with the usual food you'd see in a lounge. The Thai chicken sandwich is worth taking on your flight. I wish I had taken a couple more. The other food items are great. I'd come here over a typical lounge for the food options alone. Just need to make sure you come when it's less busy.

Great selection of food and drinks with a simple yet modern vibe. Not much hot food early in the morning, but I actually enjoyed the variety more than other places that serve heavier meals. Seating is limited though, so bigger groups might need to stand if it’s busy.

Great variety of food and drink and simple yet modern ambience. Not much in terms of hot food (at 5am), but I actually preferred the variety of options than most other lounges with hot food. Limited seating so larger groups should be prepared to stand during busier periods.
