Joy Foods Canada Inc sits quietly along Burnhamthorpe Road in Etobicoke, blending the casual vibe of a family restaurant with touches of an Italian café. Its location in a small plaza means you’re stepping into a spot that locals likely pass by often but might not pause in without a nudge. Inside, the space feels clean and modest, with an atmosphere that suits both quick coffee stops and relaxed family meals. Soft background music hums while the layout offers enough room for both couples looking to share a dessert and families settling in for a pizza or pasta night.

The menu reflects a range of comfort foods with an Italian leaning, featuring pizzas like the Diavola and Margherita that stand out for those craving classic flavors. The Spaghetti Bolognese offers a familiar, hearty taste, balancing well with lighter options like Italian sandwiches or the vegan Black Forest cake for those wanting a plant-based treat. The burger selection adds a twist, with choices like the Truffle Beef Burger or Balkan Style Beef Burger providing an unexpected but welcome variety. There’s also a notable selection of sweets and sweets-with-a-healthier-twist such as Emerald and Moraine cakes or Energy Bars, which suit visitors seeking a more mindful indulgence alongside their coffee.

Joy Foods also caters to the coffee crowd, with offerings ranging from Americano to an Iced Coffee Joy Style, making it a quiet spot for pause during busy errands or appointments. The seating encourages lingering, with customers often taking the time to enjoy a cake slice and a hot tea or coffee rather than just grabbing takeaway. Its relaxed pace during mid-mornings or early afternoons seems ideal for anyone looking for a casual break, either for a solo visit or a small group chat.

Service here comes across as warm and accommodating, often described by visitors as friendly and open to interactions beyond just ordering food, such as discussing their dough for pizza nights at home. This personal touch underlines the “family” part of its identity, making it feel more like a place where regular guests might be known by name. The culinary focus on scratch-made dishes and authentic flavors appeals primarily to people who appreciate straightforward, honest food over trend-driven offerings.

Overall, Joy Foods Canada Inc favors those who value a slow-paced meal or coffee break with a homey atmosphere — families, coffee lovers, and local food enthusiasts who don’t mind a spot slightly off the beaten path. Late mornings through afternoon hours appear best to catch the café-like vibe, while evenings might be suited for diners favoring comfort Italian fare with a modest price point. Its subtle charm lies in being a comfortable, unpretentious corner of Etobicoke where food preparation is visibly cared for, and the experience feels quietly personal.

Great experience working with the owner to try their dough for a pizza night at home. Guests loved the pizza! The dough was great and she is very friendly to work with.

Another gem tucked away in a little plaza in Etobicoke on Burnamthorpe Road. I had a peppermint tea and the vegan cake. Omg! Yum! Great friendly service. My coffee companion had the Aruba roll and a beautiful coffee. And the place was clean and a great place to sit for a coffee. Beautiful atmosphere and good music. It’s a restaurant but we were there for a coffee.

I went here for coffee while waiting for another appointment in the mall. The coffee was decent and they had a good selection of desserts. I had the purple vegan cake because it was pretty. I'm not vegan, but the cake was enjoyable.

I can’t even describe how amazing this place is. So authentic and different than any place. I feel transported to Italy :). It is a hidden gem and we need to support businesses like this that make everything from scratch in their kitchen.

Just discovered this amazing place with two friends yesterday after walking by it so many times before...go inside! The food quality and taste were incredible, service was fantastic. Beautiful and clean space. I had a wagyu steak, my friends had the breakfast plates. The prices are totally fair for what you are getting - it's real food, homemade from scratch, not the highly processed junk that is typically served at chain stores. You can't compare the food with Tim Horton's or similar places. Real food costs more. There is a delicious selection of GF, DF, Pork Free options, including desserts, which I will be back to try the next visit! The owner was so knowledgeable about allergies, very welcoming and accommodating. There is a little store in the back with meats and European goodies. Our new favourite place! PS: there are tables out front, you can bring your pup to hang out! Update: I went back another night with my pup and the owner served him water in a little bowl! You feel like you're visiting a friend's house for dinner.

Best food and atmosphere i’ve ever encountered. I started to replace going to chain restaurants and cafes with small businesses and this truly is a hidden gem within the community. The restaurant not only has such wonderful workers who greet me every time I come in with a smile and know my usual order, but they truly go above and beyond with the quality of service and food that they produce. Every sandwich is made fresh every morning, from the bread to the ingredients, every coffee is made fresh, and I truly bring every person I know here for the food and experience, as nothing matches it. Every bite tastes amazing and I recommend that every person has this type of experience here at least once as they have everything from savoury to sweet and even healthy options!
