I don't know how I gone this long without writing a review for this cafe but definitely worthy of…read morea mention (especially for those that are traveling off hwy 2 & need good road stop options for coffee, washrooms & good snacks). Lacombe is becoming a more frequented place for me to meet country town & rural friends. Mostly as Red Deer is just too busy to accommodate last minute get togethers unless you are closer by & have the opportunity/time to drive around. That's how I first got to experience Ona & that was back when there was a furniture & a homewares store including the cafe within it. Things have changed since then (now only cafe & cafe space is significantly larger with raised patio in back) but still fabulous food & great coffee. Plus the bonus is the neat extras one can also purchase. Lots of lower height tables & it seems to be quite popular with larger groups & families (observation from my last visit a few weeks ago). Parking is on the streets around but I have yet to walk further than a block. Bathrooms are generous in size & I greatly appreciate how well kept they are considering how popular this place always seems. Decently lit with lots of natural light. A bit more on the louder side now that it is only a cafe but still a good spot to cool off & rest the arms from driving. I've tried treats & sandwiches here - both are of decent sizes & what the price of this are these days, I would say at a reasonable price. Coffee is always tasty here & I quite enjoyed the iced option this last stop being that the outside temp was over 25C. Staff are always friendly here & great at answering questions. As a cane user, I also greatly appreciate that things are bright out to the table so I don't have to navigate around searching for seating with food &/or drink plus a cane in the other hand. Thanks for always an enjoyable road break!

Place was 80% full when I got there and most people even just got thier food + drinks to go. Lovely place to kill some time or for a coffee date. Loved the assortment of unique goods at the back. Cashew cream cheese, chocolate milk, crackers, broth, candy, etc. What a wide range! But all very unique and would make such a great gift for food-lovers. I tried the sausage roll $7.50: 9/10: very greasy. They do warm it up for you. Sausage was a good texture and taste. Pasty was nice too but sausage falls right out of pastry when eating. I also tried the beet root latte. SOOO pretty! So beautifully pink. BUT tastes like warm milk with no other flavor. I would have liked a stronger beet taste. So if you want something for show and not taste this one is 10/10.

Came to Spinnakers last month while in Sylvan for a hockey tournament…read more It's a small little mom and pop shop that started out as a coffee shop and has evolved into Vietnamese and bubble tea. I was sooooo excited to find a little hole in the wall and even more excited when I saw CAT artwork on the wall. While we dined we chatted with a few locals. Hubs ordered pho, I ordered vermicelli, and we shared salad rolls and an iced coffee (though I ordered Vietnamese iced coffee). The adorable older couple were attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Unfortunately the flavours did not live up to the excitement of what we had hoped for. That being said the prices are probably the lowest you are going to find for a restaurant in Sylvan and the atmosphere was pleasant. And to be fair, Vietnamese is my absolute favourite food in the world. There wa nothing wrong per se with the food here, but everything was missing that extra something that makes you want that dish again - hubs noted a lack of depth of flavour in the pho. The salad roll was probably the best item we had here. The locals next to us recommended we try the house special chow mein or fried rice next time and the chicken bun. I had ordered the beef bun with spring rolls and did not care for the texture of the beef. If reviewing on the food alone I would give 3 stars but the sweet owners, adorable cat decor, and favorable prices bump this spot up to 4 stars.

(And considered it worth the trip) One member of my fam jam only likes plain glazed donuts, and Donut Mill are their top fave. There are a huge variety though.

I really need to try a soup and sandwich sometime cuz I've heard they are great too. If you like cinnamon buns? Walk next door to Glen's and get a cinnamon bun as big as your head.

Easy to pop into from the highway 2 and since it's part of a strip mall area there was plenty of parking nearby. We were seated right away, the space is quite large and bright. Very sunny vibes. The single person bathrooms are nice but there are only 3 of them I think. I right away was eager to try their fancy coffee - in particular the caramel tiramisu latte (topped with caramel drizzle, whipped cream and cinnamon sprinkle ($5.99) but this drink was a bit of a let down in my opinion. Over the top sweet and since it's served in a glass cup it doesn't retain its heat, gets cold fast, and is actually kind of small. I get that it's a latte but the sheer sweetness makes me wonder is there any coffee in it? Okay I've given you the worst part the food was not disappointing! We ordered the Hot honey chicken Benedict ($19.99) and this was divine! The spicy and sweet combo was excellent and I loved that it got on the Hashbrowns too! Good serving size and eggs were perfect. We also had to order some pancakes and asked for the most popular, which was the signature stacks Cinnabon cakes ($15.99). These were huge and terribly delightful! Fluffy and the sauce combination of cream cheese icing and whip and icing sugar- wowzers! Very good and a reason it's a popular choice. We also got a kids pancakes ($8.49) and added a side of sausage ($2.49). Overall a nice spot for a spot of breakfast.

She never brought a kids' menu, disappeared for long stretches, and ignored our repeated requests for water--it finally showed up right before we left. Even when we asked other servers, we were met with, "I'm busy, you'll have to wait," rather than any willingness to help. When we politely asked Kya about her attitude, her only reply was, "Do you want the manager?" The rudeness and lack of care from beginning to end ruined what should have been a pleasant, celebratory morning. We won't be back.
