Ok this place... THIS PLACE!!! I am blown away it says cupcakes but it's so much more!!!!!…read more I had a breakfast sandwich a kind fog cupcake, and everything was impeccable! I can't even put it into words. All the breads are made fresh in house, and the London fog even had lavender in it. Nothing beats a good cafe with quality food. I wouldn't even bother going to any other place in the area. If you're here, do yourself a favour and stop in!!

The cupcakes are about $4.15 each after tax which I found to be an okay price. I'm not a cupcake connoisseur so I really don't know how much they should be relative to the world of cupcakes!

Ask to take a menu to your seat if you need time to look over the menu. Service was quick but not rushed. Chicken pesto crepe was flavorful and an appropriate size for lunch. I do wish there was a salad included as there is with the panini. Large latte was very big. Only issue was parking. Lot is not big enough for all the businesses that use it.

Beautifully decorated with a vintage vibe and lots of shabby-chic pieces. They seem extremely popular and busy even mid-afternoon; jammed-packed the whole time we were there and with a waiting line-up for a table. Gentleman who seemed to be the owner or manager was extremely pleasant and went above and beyond to find us a table quickly (even moving chairs around) after Cousin and I explained that Boyfriend (who was outside parking the car) would never wait for the 30 min announced at first. All the staff there seemed very nice, fast, constantly cleaning, arranging seating, serving, etc. We only had coffees (which were fine but nothing mind blowing) so I cannot judge on the menu. Would recommend this place though, if only for the super hardworking staff!

Seating at the tables at the back are uncomfortable. Having said all that, we have been here a few times; it's pretty good. The food is good with a varied menu. The service is also good. For this visit, we got together with a few friends and it was nice seeing everyone; ie: the company was also good. Unfortunately on this day, it was hugely hot outside, and with all the bad luck of bad timing, this was the day the air conditioner conked out! One thing I like about them is that they serve a nice variety of beverages, as well as good food which is not pre-fab; in other words, they actually have a kitchen. It serves the residents of the neighbourhood well. I am likely to go back.

Didn't try them so can't comment, but it all looked good! Nice staff, good coffee (Equator). What more can I say?

This is such a cozy and adorable place. As it's just around walking distance to the hotel I stayed,…read moreit was a nice walk to this cafe. The outside does not justify the inner interior of this cafe. There is so many different corners to choose from, if only dine- in is allowed. With the closure during COVID, only takeout is allowed for now. But I did just walk around while my coffee is being prepared and pastries packed. There are several corners from a fireplace, to the communal table, along with the library of books corner and window with good lighting and surrounded by plant that one can choose if they had the luxury of dining in. Coffee- I ordered Americano and Flat White (used Oat milk) and found the coffee was about weak. Pastries - They were both amazingly delicious. The Chocolate pastry and a sour cherry yoghurt pastry caught my eye and those were both good choices. There were also good food and pastries offering. This is definitely a cafe that is be back if I am in Ottawa again.

The place was busy, but not crowded at all and we were able to easily find a seat. We ordered an omelette on an English muffin, smoked salmon on a bagel, flat white and a milk shake. Milk shakes are made fresh with ice cream. Breakfast food was just reheated pre-made, however the staff was wonderful and made us a fresh bagel with cream cheese when we asked for no onions. The flat white was great, similar but a bit better, then Starbucks. They have lots of non dairy options like soy and oat milk. The decor and food was standard for a coffee chain, would be nice if there was more local charm or more fresh made options.

A muffin was calling my name. Specifically, the lemon poppy seed one. With the dollop of lemon curd on top. It did not disappoint. Just the right amount of moistness and airyness. Looking forward to returning many, many times.

Unfortunately their machine was down so they couldn't make cold drinks and I didn't want a hot beverage since it was really warm out. I ended up going to Morning Owl Manotick for an iced latte, but I did pick up a Raspberry Coconut Chocolate Square from Take Another Bite. It was chewy because of the coconut, sweet from the chocolate and a bit tart because of the raspberry - the perfect combination and exactly what I was hoping for in the moment. It was a bit pricey totalling almost $6, but it was a nice treat. I didn't sit in, but the space looked welcoming enough to eat there and the service was good. There was street parking as well as a specific parking lot for them. I would go back to check them out again in the future.

They sell lots of different pastries but specialize in Middle Eastern pastries. I love their Znoud El Sit, and I went on a Thursday and they had them! Some places only have this on the weekends. They are $2 each and are shorter but fatter than other places - more delicious creamy filling! The cream is a little clumpier and not as smooth, but I don't really mind. They have macarons for $1.50 each. I haven't tried them but they looked good. The bakery is really clean and well lit. Staff were nice. It's in a strip mall (right next door to Capital Buns Bakery). Lots of free parking.
