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.

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. I would've stayed here longer if they offered a zero sugar beverage I would've stayed have stayed longer and played with the cats. I probably will not come back.

Finally, a real coffee shop in the north end of town! You'll find all the typical wonderful…read morespecialty coffees as all the other hipster joints, plus delicious snacks, treats and even lunches! Sandwiches and other small menu items are also available. Great if you live in the area and are on foot. There is no parking on the street but we've gotten away with parking at the grocery lot directly across the street. The one downside here is that this tiny little shop (yes, tiny as in not very much seating so be prepared to grab your jo to go!) is that it is NOT accessible. There is a little step into the shop and steps to get up to the counter. So that's definitely challenging if you have any mobility issues at all (even being on crutches is a major issue). Good to know: bring in your own To Go cup and get 10 cents off your coffee!

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.

Loads of seating inside in a cabin-like setting with a fireplace to sit next to in the cold months. This is a great place for groups or to just hang out with a book or get some work done. A nice big patio with umbrellas for those nice days. The treats are also delicious. We tried two massive cookies (ginger and chocolate chip) and they were very tasty. It makes me sad that it's their only location in town because it's not very convenient for me - literally across the city.

We would continue to go, and it became a regular spot despite its remoteness. The next year, by coincidence, my parents ended up moving pretty much down the street from it so it became easier to go more and more often. It's very cozy inside, very Wood Cabin-esque, and a great place to sit and catch up in the middle of winter. This place is somehow inexplicably entwined into my own personal history and their hot chocolate is pretty damn good.
