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!

Came here for breakfast sweetness last weekend!…read more The inside of this cafe is beautifully decorated. A bit confusing if you're not a local because there is not a real service restaurant. You wait to be seated but you order first and they bring your selection to your table. Water is available but you serve yourself. They serve a variety of sweet and savoury crepes but also a variety of yummy desserts. It is a very busy place and I can see why! The crepes and variety of crepes are out of this world! I ordered the biscoff crepe....it was beyond yummy. It's the type of yumminess where you complete forget your with someone and focus solely on every morsel eaten. Definitely a must visit spot if you enjoy crepes both savoury and sweet! I will be back!

There are not a lot of tables to eat at - only 3, with a few couches interspersed. The staff and patrons are friendly. We got there early today, and had time to look around before our friends got there. This gave us time to wait for a table, It gets busy in here, so ordering can take some time. However, the food was a while coming out. Our food came out well before our friends' food. However, the food was tasty when it did come out. Unfortunately, my eggs were a bit better done than I like them, but the meal was still edible, while we were eating and our friends were waiting for their food, the waitress admitted that they were short staffed by 2 people (you could really tell!) Later on, we heard they had run out of eggs. Although it is an interesting place, with an eclectic menu, and it's not next door for us, I would not be in a hurry to go back. I would give it one more chance, though, in a while, hoping they get their staffing issues sorted.

I had already eaten (I didn't realise they have food), but I ordered one of the three authentic Indian chai tea that are offered. There was only one size (maybe 12 ounces), but it was just right. The kadak chai was flavourful and yummy. Ginger and cardamom are the two main spices in the kadak. Next time I want to go over lunch so I can try the Tadka Maggi. Will definitely be back!

The cafe is adorable with a lovely fireplace but even better is the healthy, unique menu which includes smoothies, juices, desserts, and entrees.

Hope we can time a stop here on our travels back through the area.

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.

Looking forward to returning many, many times.

As well as all these sweets, they also sell a variety of sandwiches and other things (did I see quiche up there?) I will get a snap shot of the other stuff on the way out. Their coffee is LavAzza (Italian, famous for buying out KickAss coffee from the company's Canadian owners.) I do love a consistently good cup of coffee! It's been seriously years since I've been here. I had forgotten how good it is! The Colonnade community is not in my regular stomping grounds, unless I'm coming up here for beads (Canada Beading Supply), or knitting supplies (Wool Tyme). So today was a bit of a shopping trip for me. I would definitely come back here again, hopefully sooner. So let me know in advance when you want to do a meet up here! ;-)

Alas, we couldn't try the coffee or the food because we discovered it late on a Monday and it is closed Tuesday.
