We happened upon Sun Run Cafe for breakfast one morning because the cafe we were planning to go to…read morein Combermere was permanently closed. So, looking for another option we droves to Maynooth and found Sun Run. It was very busy! There was seating indoors as well as outdoors. With it being a rather chilly morning, we got lucky and snagged one of the tables as another party was leaving. You place your order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. They have many baked goods like homemade Pop Tarts, Cupcakes and Honey Crullers. But they also have breakfast and lunch sandwich options. The 3 others in my party got breakfast sandwiches, and I got a sandwich from the lunchtime menu. I opted for the grilled cheese. I'm so glad it did- it was great! The bread was baked in house and you could really taste the quality. Then where was 2 types of cheddar with thinly sliced apples ham and some honey. It was delicious and wasn't too greasy or decadent. Everyone else at my table raved about their sandwiches too, including my sister-in-law who got the buckwheat gluten-free option and loved it so much, she made an inquiry as to if she could buy some of the bread to take home. While they don't sell the loaves, it says a lot that she was moved enough to even ask. Overall a great experience here. Sun Run saved the morning- there's a total lack of breakfast restaurants open on Sunday in these parts, so we were really happy to not only get a meal, but impressed by how delicious it was!

How long must one wait for a cheeseburger, fries, and a refill?…read moreAt the Swiss Bear, about 90 minutes. Was given a coffee when seated, never refilled until our meal came, then never refilled again. They asked if we would like dessert, not at 90 minutes per order thank-you! Atmosphere: Cramped table spacing. Too close. Portions: Average. Prices: On the high side for the service. Tip: I didn't give one other than frequent refills and faster service. Staff: Distant and impersonal. Food: Nothing out of the ordinary, could've, should have been served hot. Swiss by name but not by example.

I went to the ice cream hut, ordered a double scoop cone. I paid first, as I do when ordering a…read morecone, so that I can accept it and eat it without fumbling. The woman who served me, and who was handling cash, picked up an unwrapped cone in her bare hands, topped it with ice cream, and passed it to me. I had already paid or I'd have told her to keep it. I ate the ice cream from the top and threw the remainder away. This is a screaming indication of the level of attention to sanitary practices at Kate's, ensuring that I would never eat anything from their kitchen. If they do this in front of a customer, what are they doing when they cannot be seen? I feel uneasy just thinking about it. The only other review sounds decidedly and suspiciously as if it is an advert composed by the establishment themselves.

Kawartha dairy and ice cream store in Bancorft Ontario. Friendly staff and service there is an ice…read morecream counter along with small store attached with washroom inside. Lots of flavor of ice cream, there also ice cream float. Inside there is milk, cheese and more ice cream inside. Nice place I would say getting the pints inside the store would be more worth it than the cost of single serve at the counter in my opinion. Lots of parking with a picnic table outside. Can't really miss the cow on the roof. There are reminates of ice cream outside on the ground and side walk. Ice cream ordered Muskoka mocha and black raspberry thunder and mint chocolate float ice cream quickly melting on a hot day. Id say milkshake was nice and thick can't go wrong with their ice cream either. If you come out this way don't forget to make a stop here. There definitely a queue on the summer months
