This place is a true neighbourhood gem. There's a reason there is often a lineup outside! Great coffee and tea, excellent pastries, and delicious food -- and the menu changes daily! I was impressed by the prices, too. Quite reasonable for such a gourmet spot! Definitely by go-to for interesting takeout. And the staff! They're so genuinely sweet.

Got a wonderful lemon chiffon cake from Daniel et Daniel last weekend for a friend's birthday treat. Ordered it on Friday and picked it up on Saturday, beautifully decorated and with a special marzipan "Happy Birthday" banner. The cake was delicious, as is everything at D et D, and the service was great too!

Daniel et Daniel has been catering both in-person and take-home orders for my workplace over the past two years. Without a doubt, this is the most delicious catered food I have ever experienced. What I appreciate about them the most is that the vegetarian options are made with just as much care (if not more, in my opinion!) than the meat options. Many other places treat the "veggie option" as a throwaway. Not Daniel et Daniel. Thank you to the menu planners, cooks and everyone involved for the delicious food and excellent care you put into this experience.

An order for six people for a double birthday and from the mushroom bisque soup, the broccoli salad, the braised short ribs in red wine sauce, mash potatoes, green beans and delicious Tiramisu cake not one complaint was heard as all items were delicious. I barely had time to take this picture before my guests dove into their meal.

Daniel et Daniel are amazing! This past weekend I had the privilege to place an event order with them for a workshop at Cambium Farms. The whole team was professional, very inclusive, and respectful....Daniel et Daniel was so engaging with me through emailing and phone calls and when it came to working around our specific event budget for meals they listened to us and offered the right products + services for our event.
Eveyone who attended the event, loved the eco-bowls, lemon squares, cheescake brownies + beverage selecitons that were ordered from them, everyone was coming up to me and saying
