A long-time, family-run local favourite, the breakfasts are great diner fare and the bread is house-baked. Quick, friendly service, a good selection of menu items, and a consistent, pleasant experience. Don't judge the book by it's cover, and do pay attention to all the service trucks outside whose crews stop in during the week before their day starts.

I ordered a Green Salad with salmon and the waitress, who was very nice but clearly overwhelmed, brought Caesar instead. By the time I noticed she was gone so I ate it because I didn't want to wait until she showed up again to return it. The Caesar in itself was unimpressive. The salmon wasn't bad. And I do give the waitress credit for taking the salad off the bill when she finally came around to check on me even though I had eaten the whole thing.

Other than that, usually cool treasures to be found, lots of older items, some antiques. Xmas section happening now, some clothing, lots of glassware, lamps, pictures, hardware and furniture in general. Great location for me and parking has never been an issue. Clean and organized as best as can be as the items here get sold quickly and empty spots are soon replaced with the newly brought in items.

The space immediately reminded me of an American Express Centurion Lounge, but without the crowds or the pretentious vibe. It's spacious, modern, and genuinely welcoming. Check‑in was smooth, and the staff were friendly, professional, and efficient. The food selection exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, with ingredients and presentation well above the typical airport‑lounge standard. If you're flying out of or transiting through Ottawa, I highly recommend stopping by. It's a calm, comfortable oasis in YOW.

However, that is not what sets this lounge apart. It is the service from the warm reception you receive when you enter, to the very prompt clearing of tables. I would like to give a special shout out to Bharat and Shelew for the great assistance they gave me with the Visa airport companion app and linking a new card to it. Their willingness to help and the patience they showed was very commendable. Without them, I would have never been able to access the lounge. Much appreciated!

The owner is an attorney, turned astronomer, artist and gallery owner. His own work looks like it was taken from the Hubble telescope but apparently he works here on earth. Beware that light on the horizon, it may not be sunrise or sunset but the glow of Toronto in the far far distance of the night sky. I imagine with all the light pollution it must be increasingly difficult to work without heading to the far north. Sanjeev Sivarulrasa does a fantastic job of sifting through the stars and time itself to capture magical moments. A real 'must see' for anyone visiting Almonte. He also exhibits sculptures derived from the human form by Sue Adams and Deborah Arnold's carved stone formations of chlorite, alabaster, and marble. Adrienne Dagg, an emerging young artist, also on exhibit, explores the depths of portraiture and narrative figure painting. Dale Dunning is another of the galleries sculptors, working primary with very creative masks... at least in the exhibit I saw. Several other artists are also represented by Sivarulrasa's Studio and Gallery. Certainly worth the drive out from Ottawa. I'm glad I stopped in from California.
