You would think I'd give any place that would serve me a beer an automatic five during these COVID…read moretimes. Tollers Bistro's food is certainly worthy but since each of its previous five ratings are fives, I'll go against the grain with a four, as there is always room for improvement. Located in a small strip mall, it's a high ceiling open space that lends itself well to safe dining. Tables are nicely separated and booths have guards between them. However, there is no sanitizer available at the entrance and I noticed the waitress seating customers without masks, so a little more effort regarding patron's safety would be nice. The food is excellent. Great menu, lots of choice and really interesting. We did some sharing, fish tacos, sweet potato fries, and cauliflower bites. Fish was battered, not normally my favourite, but was light and really tasty. Maybe the best sweet potatoes ever and the cauliflower bites are a meal, lightly breaded and tasty, maybe too big to be shared with just two people, most of ours came home. Staff is friendly and attentive. Waitress didn't know the beer list and suggested I "go look", which is fine but there weren't that many to remember. She did, however, bring us a takeaway box without being asked as she noticed the cauliflower bites still lingering on the plate. I can agree with the previous fives, but there is always room for improvement, at Tollers it's just some attention to detail. Great spot!

How can I describe the lemon poppyseed doughnut? Which I am assuming would describe all their…read morehandcrafted, fluffy-doughed, not really wanting to share, perfectly fried without lingering oils, incredibly tasty doughnuts. The lemon glaze had just the perfect amount of tart! Was a difficult decision choosing a doughnut flavour. The iced coffee with English toffee was just perfect for this sunny Alberta morning. All the reviews are correct. It's a must stop coffee shoppe. Easily one of my favourites when I come 'home' to Lacombe.

One time I asked for a Philly steak and cheese, they didn't have it but when I explained how it's made they tried to accommodate me which I thought was very nice of them. I wanted to make a reservation for my family and I for their breakfast/brunch buffet, for this Sunday (March 7/26). When I called their number I got a message saying the number was disconnected or not in service. So we will try to just show up and hope it's not too busy.

And it was very delicious an not overly sweet as you would expect. A local I met highly recommended the ginger snap cookie. And it hit the spot. It was so soft chewy and flavourful. A must try for just $3! They have a little boutique and kids play area inside. Which is nice to pass the time here if you want.

Was super surprised to find this gem when Googling place to eat Red Deer for my day trip here…read more Easy to find IF you use Google Maps. Can see the barn from the road. Lots of parking. Lots of things for the kids to play on. Patio looks sparse and a little uncomfortable on those tiny chairs. So many cool trinkets to see here. Unique for sure. Staff were very friendly but not great with water refills. Not too busy at a Sunday at 12pm (50% full). Friend loved his Reuben but felt the soup was mostly broth. Another friend got the kettle chips and they literally looked like plain Ripple wavy potato chips. My salad was amazing, vinaigrette wasn't too sour which was perfect. Needed chicken for sure. Salad greens were fresh, but the beets seemed lackluster. Overall a wonderful place for a coffee date, couples date, Sunday brunch with your mom, or just to see the trinkets and have a light lunch.

Three times now I have been there with friends when this woman proceeds to bring out the vacuum- which you can hardly hear yourself talk above - then the mop and bucket with the obnoxious smelling cleaner all while you are trying to visit with friends and finish eating. There is nothing worse in a restaurant and no excuse for it. I don't care if we are the only customers left , you wait until you close before cleaning the floor, it is rude and shows no regard for people that have paid to be there. I hope this changes but I and my friends will not be back to find out.

Nice atmosphere fore a coffee date or a place to meet-up with friends. Place was 80% full and the 3 people before me just got their drinks to go. Bathroom is right in front of the front door so a great spot to stop as a bathroom break and grab a snack to go. Coffee orders were busy so it must have been good! I tired the Strawberry chocolate Cannoli: 9/10. Just like a cream horn but with softer less flaky pastry. Strawberry cream was quite nice but the ends were quite dry and I could not eat it. Overall I was surprised by how much I liked this one. I also got a Santa Fe wrap to go. They panini press it so it was warm and gooey. Salsa is served on the side and made a great accompaniment. Not a ton of chicken in it but Loved the flavor. 10/10. Would get again.

Breakfast sandwich was bland, and eggs Benny, claiming they have the best hollandaise sauce ever, is a boastful lie.

At $40 for breakfast, I wanted to leave happy and full..instead I left angry and full. I think most of the good reviews are family members as anyone who actually has traveled the world, ate at some of the best cafes, would absolutely turn their nose up at this establishment.

I'm towing a small trailer and still found street parking nearby. It might be harder to find parking on weekdays, but I don't really know. My coffee was delicious.

Maybe it was the sausage meat inside but it was really good. The staff were fast and friendly. The cafe was pleasantly quiet which I sure enjoyed. Overall I couldn't have expected anything better.
