Instead, it was matcha latte with syrup at the bottom, which I believe was lavender syrup. It's also topped with their coffee cloud cold foam. Regardless, it was darn good! After doing a bit of research on Google, turns out that the combination of matcha latte and lavender is supposed to resemble the taste of milk that's leftover from a bowl of fruit loops. If you're not feeling like coffee, tea or a latte, they have other drinks available including beer and wine. I thought I was coming into a coffee shop, but they actually had a lot more to offer, including pizza on their menu.

I loved the historic vibe of the place. Looks like it's in an older building. I was turned off by their lack of menu and beverage offerings. They offer NO zero sugar beverage options.

We had a great experience at the Cafe on a recent visit to Winnipeg. While in town for the weekend,…read morewe went online and booked a reservation for Sunday morning for three of us. When we arrived, they take your drink order (for later) and then we went into the cat room. We were supplied some cat treats which they all went crazy for. The cats mellowed out after the treats were done and did cat stuff like laying around, chasing things, climbing things, etc. Once our time slot was done, we exited the room and then had our drinks. I'm already forgetting what we all had, but each of us thought the drinks had great flavor. Also, we stayed downtown that weekend and getting to the Cafe was a quick & easy drive along Portage.

Perfectly not super sweet but I added a bit more milk and it helped cool it down because it was prepared warm. The Spiced Lentil plus Chickpea soup was kind of buttery and yummy, especially with the addition of the buttery bread that I am not sure about the type. The bread was really smooth and delicious. The large bowl of soup was a bit too big for me but the smaller bowl was the right size. The other food seem tasty too but the menu is not very big. The waitress was polite and she did not mind giving me an extra portion of milk when I asked. I find sculptures intriguing and marvellous. I really enjoyed looking at them. Be aware that they may ask you to put your backpack in a locker if you plan on checking everything out. I do recommend spending your funds here if you love art.

It was very flavourful, and just the right size to go with the rest of the meal. I don't generally have dessert but I did have their evening special: a unique cinnamon bun bread pudding topped with apple "syrup". It did not disappoint. As always the potato "chips" were a delight with the tasty spread. I've now been here 4 times, but this is the first time I've tried the homemade oils provided on each table. Both were very tasty, but our server (Lindsay) accurately rated one as a 6/10 and the other 8/10 for "heat". But I like spice so all was good. Can't wait to try them on their pizza some time. My wife had had the house soup which she let me try - a tasty broth combination of kale, potato and sausage. It's now on my must try list.

There is generally a long wait if you don't come here within the first hour of opening, so do take care in getting here early if you want to minimize wait times. We ended up waiting 40 minutes-ish, which was fine with me. We did finally get seated, and since we spent the whole morning looking at the menu. We ordered the fried potatoes together. He got the fried chicken on toast for his main, and I got the lamb breakfast sandwich. I thought the food was only ok. The fried potatoes were decent. The cook on the potato was not really what I expected, as I thought the potatoes would be crispier. The sauce really saves this dish. I had a bite of the fried chicken on toast and it was pretty good. The chicken was well cooked and nicely seasoned. I also thought my lamb burger was just ok. The meat was pretty good but I wasn't a fan of the bun as it was a little dry. We did also order drinks. My boyfriend ordered matcha. He said it was ok and wished it was a little stronger. I had a caramel latte and thought it was good. Overall, this is a decent place to get brunch. I think if I were to come back, I would maybe try different menu items. The prices were good and the overall ambience is great.

It's more of an old school toy store, you won't really find Barbies or video games there but there's a lot of offerings that kids will love because it'll actually allow them to use their imagination!

There's an art to putting together a top-notch toy store. You have to make sure that there's something uniquely fun and entertaining for all ages and all personality types. Toad Hall perfectly appeals to everyone from the simplest child to the grown up supergeek. It's all beautifully arranged. There's a section on touchy-feely tactile toys. There are stuffed animals and puppets. There are areas of the store dedicated to space aged robotic contraptions. There are places for those who are really into magical ponies. And then there's the absolute best model railroad center within a thousand miles. And although it is large without being overwhelming, It's still extremely difficult to browse here without being compelled to buy something. And it's extremely difficult to make that selection... there's just too much amazing. This place is like an extremely well curated FAO Schwartz... every toy is hand selected for it's uniqueness, creative strength and pure fun. In a city where children of all ages have to find inventive ways to stay warm in the winter, this spectacular store rises to the challenge and knocks it out of the park. A must see.
