I decided to stop by Woodrack cafe for an iced tea to quench my thirst. Service was very fast in getting me my drink of choice, an iced cucumber lime mint green tea. It was nice and refreshing. I really also liked the inside of the shop as it seems very cozy inside! Next time I definitely want to come to try their coffee. :)

We got a couple of things: an Almond Croissant, Bulgogi Poutine, a Lavender London Fog with oat milk, and a Peppermint Mocha with oat milk. My Almond Croissant was okay. I know almond croissants are made with leftover pastries, but there was no texture at all. It just fell flat, and lookswise it was physically flat as well lol. It was alright. I wouldn't get the almond croissant again. The Bulgogi Poutine was pretty good. The fries were delicious and crispy. The sauce on top of the fries was slightly sweet, salty, and savory. For me, the bulgogi could've been more flavorful and it didn't taste fresh but I liked the overall dish. Lastly, the Peppermint Mocha was alright. It wasn't spectacular. And I felt the same way about my Lavender London Fog with oat milk. I wish there was more depth in my drink. I think the tea could've been steeped a little longer. Flavor was there in my drink, but it wasn't strong enough. It was slightly disappointing since I've had amazing London Fogs before, and this one just wasn't up to par. Also my drink was slightly warm, not too far off from lukewarm. I feel like the price doesn't exactly correlate with quality for most things here. If we come back here, I'd be willing to try different things and pastries. But I don't think my rating would change much.

The toughest part of Leo's Cafe is finding it. The cafe is located off Whyte Ave but through a…read morewalkway between the ave and the alley. We parked on a residential road few avenues north and it was free! Upon finding Leo's we could relax and enjoy it. We were greeted by friendly staff in the character rich cafe with large tables. There were many coffees on offer but I opted for the standard black coffee that some places call Americano. For food there are lots of sandwiches, Bagels and pizza. Tip, the sandwiches have a very large buns and can be quite filling. Try the Bagels instead of sandwiches if you are not too hungry. I ordered the Leo's special sandwich. It had some interesting flavours. I would have enjoyed it more if the bun was smaller. Leo's also sells pizza by the slice. I haven't tried it but I think I will on my next. There is free password-protected WiFi. Leo's is definitely worth a try.

The perfect place to camp out to get some solid work done or to meet up with friends for a chat…read more The space is spacious with a variety of seating options and bright due to the large ceiling to floor windows. There are plenty of sockets along the walls to plug in anything that may need charging. For those who like a darker working space, there are two rooms in the back away from the windows that provide a cozy space. The food and drink here is great. They seem to specialize in chai, as I haven't seen a café with so many chai options. I had the Vanilla Rooibos Chai on the recommendation of the cashier as it was a sweeter and decaf. The drink was creamy, frothy and hot. I paired it with their butter chicken wrap which comes with a sweet tamarind dipping sauce. As it was butter chicken, I thought it would be a little on the soggy side, but the filling wasn't dripping out of the wrap or making it soggy in anyway. In fact, it was packed full of large chunks of chicken and veggies. The tamarind sauce provided a sweet tangy counterbalance and I really enjoyed them both together. They also have plenty of sweets to choose from in the bakery section, from large slices of cakes to cookies. Happy to have spent a couple hours here.

This is not a comfortable place to sit and chat. Server/owner (I am assuming) was friendly and helpful. Food was good The high tea is all vegatarian which was fine. My biggest complaint - and this is to all high teas the ratio of sweets to savoury is uneven. Definately need more savoury on the tray. Sandwiches were simple but tasty and not the usual ones found on the tray. Tea was lovely. I will try again for a quick bite (and i mean quick, those chairs are aweful) and try the regular menu.

It's a bit cramped but it's not bad if the tabes are not full. I managed to bag the table with the plug in but its really cold by the window in winter. Really drafty! I ordered a soup to keep warm, it was red lentil and feta which was tasty. The portion was large and it came with two warm cheese scones. The scones were worth a star alone! I wanted a vanilla latte but they don't do any flavoured coffees. The normal latte was fine but small. It came in a cute glass :) It's a nice open spot for a short meeting, or a quick coffee and catch up. But not somewhere I'd spend a few hours working... not in winter... too chilly.

The girl at the cash till explained that instead of adding water to espresso, it's done by running more water through the espresso coffee grind and therefore making it much stronger than a Americano. So basically their version of a lungo. I enjoyed it but I can't say I'll order it again simply because it tasted like a stronger brew of a dark roast, which I can get at many other coffee shops. The cappuccino was delicious! I almost wanted to go back to ask what the secret was! It's possible that they milk with a higher percentage in fat or cream, which gave it a very nutty flavour. I'll definitely be coming back for a cappuccino the next time I'm in the area, as well as looking forward to trying their affogato and gelato when the weather is warmer.

However I split them because my oldest was over and a starving student...lol. So she recieved the apple spice and stawberry tart. Tarts themselves were well constructed. I liked how the base didn't crumble. We had the marshmellow chocolate and the creme brule. Those two were tasty. I especially enjoyed the creme brule. However, if I paid full price for these I would be annoyed. (close to 6 bucks for each tart). They were tiny. Staff were okay but not helpful when selecting a tart. I asked which ones were part of the deal and they didn't answer, and I had to ask for the apple and the creme brule even though they were part of the deal. Now they changed the deal. So it is not near as cheap. I would say unless you love these things skip it. There are way better desserts out there for the same price.

Their whole menu does look amazing and while my tastebuds say yes to ice cream my stomach says no. At most ice cream shops I'll be lucky to find a sorbet to enjoy. Made By Marcus has three regular non-dairy options Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Snickerdoodle, and Prairie Fairie Sorbet. I'll be honest I haven't tried the sorbet, but the other two flavours are delicious. They also have four rotating seasonal flavours that change each month, and one of those will be vegan and so good for me. This month November 2025 the vegan flavour is Poached Pear and Brown Sugar Streusal. It is heavenly and I went to Made By Marcus two days in a row for this. You can get most of their flavours in to-go pints and I'm pretty tempted to pick this up. Downside to Made By Marcus is the line outside will be crazy in the summer. But no problem getting in at 6pm on a random Wednesday in November for some reason. They also are not across from my house and I really think my neighbors across the way should move out so Made By Marcus can move in. In my dreams I can try their Earl Grey Cassis Royale or the Sea Salt & Goat Milk Caramel ice creams and not be hurt. So give those a go cause they sound amazing.
