Morning Cafe

What is Morning Cafe? Operating inside the Midland Court plaza at 3300 Midland Avenue in north Scarborough, Morning Cafe (摩檸茶室) is a modern Cantonese tea house specializing in artisanal hand-pounded lemon teas and cha chaan teng street snacks. The playful cafe interior features bright yellow neon accents, clean minimalist tables, and an open beverage bar where fragrant perfume lemons are freshly bruised by hand to release essential oils into chilled tea brews.

Morning Cafe Menu & What to Order The headlining specialty is the Signature Hand-Pounded Lemon Tea, blending fresh whole Guangdong perfume lemons crushed with crushed ice and bold Ceylon black tea. For herbal notes, try the Chrysanthemum Iced Lemon Tea or the traditional Salty Kumquat Lemon Tea. Pair your drinks with comforting Hong Kong cafe snacks, including thick-cut Condensed Milk Butter Toast, golden Spicy Orleans Chicken Wings, or a hearty bowl of New Orleans Chicken Chop Lo Mein seasoned with sweet-savory soy sauce.

Know Before You Go Morning Cafe opens daily at noon and serves steadily until 11:00 p.m., making it a popular afternoon study stop and late-night beverage hangout. Sugar and ice levels can be adjusted to your taste for every custom tea preparation. Free surface parking is available in the plaza, easily accessible off Midland Avenue just north of Finch.
