The place: No frills - it has a minimalist, industrial feel to it, with very few tables in use to ensure social distancing during this crazy pandemic time. I particularly appreciated the plastic dividers that were hanging from the ceiling to separate tables. Also, similar to its Elgin location, they've got excellent tunes. The goods: On this particular visit, I had a Cortado with almond milk. It was great. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her plain latté as well. Service: Great - the fellow who served us was friendly and he appreciated my Winnie the Pooh mask. I mean, what more can a girl ask for? Price point: I think the Cortado was about $4. Great local spot for delicious coffee.

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.

Service is pleasant enough, but seems to almost always be someone different. Maybe that's a sign of the times, though? An easy walk from work, this site is in an ongoing Cindy zone right now. You have to have eyes in back of your head!! That's not their fault, though.

It's in a converted old house, so there are so many rooms and nooks and crannies, lol. They have a small patio out front and a larger patio on the side. I imagine people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell in their early years hanging out in places like the Art House, to give you an idea of the ambiance ;) I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and a lunch wrap to go. The Southwest Chicken Wrap ($9.85) was really tasty. It had pieces of chicken, rice, black beans, cheese, and corn (which I picked out, lol). It had a bit of a spicy kick, but I'd still consider it mild (or at most on the milder side of medium). The breakfast sandwich was an English muffin, cheese, egg and bacon. I like that it was real cheese and not like a processed Kraft Singles kind of cheese. Very tasty. Staff are super chill and friendly. I'll need to come back sometime to hang out. Street parking only.

Great place to "hangout" with your friends!…read more There is plenty of space and tables for a casual hangout. They have a large wall full of board games. With the pandemic, there's a contact tracing form that you fill out with your info. There are also hand sanitizer with the board games to ensure your hands are clean before grabbing a game. I haven't personally stayed to play games in years but I come for the tea. The bubble tea menu has a lot to offer. It's personally not my top favourite place for bubble tea but it's still pretty good.

I can't review the food, because we didn't stay. There were several folks at tables playing games…read more So, true to its name, this is a Hangout spot for some. I wanted to try this place out because it's listed as a dessert place and I really enjoy dessert. Perhaps dessert isn't as profitable as one would want because they've "diversified" the menu and serve a few sandwiches and pre-packaged ramen. For me, though, the aroma of stale ramen on the air just doesn't help my appetite for dessert. Also, the restaurant was dark and didn't look as clean and bright as I want in my dessert place (or anywhere I eat). That might have just been my perception. Fortunately, they didn't have the dessert that I wanted. So, we left the ramen shop quickly.

As far as Happy Goat (the Ottawa based chain) goes, I'm not a fan of every location - however, I…read morelove this location. The problem is, I'm not alone - it is often impossible to get a seat. And so, we don't go here too often. The decor is wonderfully cute and comfortable with fur on couches and huge pillows to cuddle into on the bench seating. It's just a comfortable space. Coffee is always good and they have treats and a decent tea selection. Would I return: Yes - but only if there's seating, otherwise we head elsewhere. Would I recommend: No, but only because I want to be able to get a seat.... so really, that's a Yes. ;-)

Other than the coffee and scones, I've only had the daily soup a couple of times at Life of Pie (perfectly good, but not particularly memorable), so I can't comment on much else.

The place was packed on a Friday afternoon (around 1pm). I ordered the London Fog scone to go ($2.50). It was big and puffy and had a smear of icing on top. I was a bit surprised to see actual tea leaves inside. Truth be told, I wasn't too keen about this. I prefer to have the tea flavour, but not bits of actual tea leaves in my desserts. The tea flavour actually wasn't as pronounced as I would have expected considering the presence of the leaves. I was a bit disappointed in this regard because I love potent tea flavours. However, the scone itself was well made, and I think I would enjoy other flavours more (like maybe a savoury one such as cheddar). Service was nice enough, and the cafe is cute. I think it would be a nice place for a date or to catch up with friends. It's in Old Ottawa South. Street parking only.
