To be fair I only had coffee - decaf - and it was really good. An americano. And they had cinnamon. Which always makes me like a place more. The place was super busy (truth and reconciliation day) but the staff were all really nice albeit exhausted. Didn't stay in because it was loud but I liked the ambiance and would enjoy hanging around there on a quieter day.

Finally tried this place after seeing it a number of times whenever I was in the complex. Ordered…read morean oat milk latte, my usual coffee drink, and I was able to choose from 2 options of espresso beans they were brewing for the day. Also got a blueberry scone which was very buttery and delicious! I also love that they give you your drink order in real mugs/cups if you're dining in. The ambiance was your typical coffee shop -- quiet with soft lofi music playing in the background. There were high and low tables, some with comfy/soft chairs, while others had the bar style chairs. The tables each had the wifi password so for those staying a while and needing internet while working, you don't have to ask the baristas for the wifi password. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is I wish they would've provided more baked goods or food options. They had one sandwich option when I came in before 11am, a bagel option, and just a handful of different pastries. The shelves looked half empty so I'm assuming there's normally more options? Still good to try if you're wanting good coffee in the area.

After I was introduced to Connie she told me the soup of the day was "Chicken Pot Pie". I was then invited into the kitchen to see the fruits of her labour. I ordered the CPP and I was not disappointed, the peas, carrots and chicken were cooked to perfection, all served at a perfect temperature. My sister pointed out that not only does Connie cook the entrees but the baked goods as well. I finished off my lunch with perked coffee and a ginger cookie, both were awesome. This was my first visit to CCH but not my last!

At Esquires, I don't know what it is, machine, bowl, care, milk or what...... but just the most lushest velvety foam ever. Never had a bad cap and will literally drive 20 mins out of my way past 10 coffee joints for their cap fare. I never get it to go, only china plz, sit outside and enjoy the lazy goings on. I always sprinkle generous amounts of chocolate on top (not cocoa-yech). They give you this tiny coke spoon and you'll use it on that billowing mound. Don't know why so many Eq. have closed. This one remains tucked away in a cozy location on Crescent road. Catch it before or after the beach. Especially cozy inside on a rainy day. TIP: grab a heavenly, warm, gooey, real french linen, 1M calorie cinnamon bun down below at Fieldstones. Thats it .....I've talked myself into both....leaving now with my best 4 legged friend.

The Seasonal Cherry Elderflower Latte has a nice sweetness carefully balanced with a Cherry tartness that compliments the oat milk (additional cost) and frothy foam top for a purely delightful breakfast indulgence. Perfect for mornings when you want a nice pick me up, and to start the day right. As for the breakfast burrito, we'll, how can you go wrong? Wrapped in a spinach tortilla and warm to the bite, this savoury filling delights the senses and sparks a flavour that only aims to please the palate. If you're a fan of burritos, and breakfast, give it a try. It's so good even without the salsa (I tend to eat it all before even remembering the salsa is there...!) 5 stars, Everbean! Keep up the (delicious) work~!

We ordered: nutella pancake combo sans the nutella, side of cranberry sourdough toast, and a bowl of their soup special, chicken noodle soup. I had the caramelized banana that accompanied the nutella-less pancake combo with the toast. We tried to order the caramelized banana standalone but they did not know how to input that and said we needed to order the combo to get it which worked out okay. The banana has the caramelized glaze like a creme brûlée which I hadn't anticipated, and mostly removed. It was a good pairing with the cranberry toast. We came here out of convenience and overall it was a good experience. The bathroom is clean however the toilet paper dispenser has an awful sound - hopefully they can remedy this because it can hurt your ears.

When the food arrived we got two half sandwiches and two cups of soup. I explained this to the waitress and she brought out someone from the kitchen who told me I was wrong and had paid for two half sandwiches and cup of soups. My diabetic husband and brother in law visiting from Ontario did not have enough food and we left to go home and prepare additional food since we had already waited an hour to get our order. I was impressed with the food but will never go back the error was not mine and if the staff incorrectly rang in our order when my sister and I were at the counter they could at least have apologized for the error. Sadly this review will be shared with friends and family across the country. So disappointed in our treatment.

I asked if the dish could be prepared again but was told that is how they serve it. Definitely wouldn't order that again, but will try a few other things as the experience of sitting on the deck with such a great view is very special! The server was very professional and nice.
