What people say, in short
Cafe 23 is recommended for its Queen West setting, especially the rear garden and patio. Several commenters like the outdoor space, and one contrasts the busy cafe with its rear courtyard. Price is the main caveat: one visitor considers it beautiful enough for an occasional treat despite the cost, and another finds the mocha expensive.
