Previously I had written a review for The Big Tree House Cafe in Dundas, and is was fantastic. Several months after writing that review, my wife and I went back there and it wasn't quite as fantastic - you see, my favourite dish there was not the same , and we suspected that the place had changed hands- we were right! They really did try to fix the problem but wouldn't admit that they changed the cooking method. I cannot fault them as they really wanted us to be happy but the damage was done. When you have a winning dish that everybody loves, and you change it, only problems will follow.
The reason I am telling you this is because Dining @ Co is where the last owner went, to a bigger location, and the same skill he used to make The Treehouse a fantastic place for coffee and food .
Dining@ Co. feels like it is a bit out of the way but the locals and people that know,will tell you it is worth looking for. Top service with a smile, incredible Campos coffee prepared by skilled staff( I always want to take another coffee with me when I leave) , freshly prepared meals presented with skill and care, and yummy looking goodies in the display case.
I went there today for the first time , but my wife has been there a few times and said it was as good as their previous location. We both just had something simple - Bacon and Egg Rolls and a coffee- it was divine-generous with bacon and oozy eggs with rocket on warm soft focaccia bread- what more could you want. And the coffee did not disappoint . Strong not bitter, creamy and not too hot, and yes I wanted a second one but held back.
I just want to say, if you have ever been to a crappy cafe where the coffee is just okay, the staff act like they would rather be somewhere else,the food passes but you wish it was a cut above your expectations, Try this place, it will show you that there are places like this that care and can give you a wonderful experience for not too much money- they really know what they are doing. We went back another day and had another nice meal. I tried the Eggs Benedict with Smoked salmon,and my wife had the Ricotta Pancakes. Both dishes were generous and presented well- please give it a go read more
