Four tables for two and a table for six. The logistics of how this store is set up is very impressive.

There was a big table perfectly sized for our large group where we were able to enjoy our donuts and coffees. The place was comfy and cozy and I loved all the plants. The one employee who was there was very kind and prepared our drinks quickly despite being the only one in. We all enjoyed! Just because I noticed some of these reviewes are quite old, I would add that they do take credit cards here (they are NOT cash-only) and they certainly do have espresso. It was a little tricky to find due to signage, but we're glad we did!

From the second we pulled up and saw the two pups in the side yard to the immediate welcoming as we walked in by the staff, we felt like we were at home, but in a restaurant.

This restaurant and bakery focuses on food that are sugar-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. I…read morebelieve it is the only restaurant like it in St. Catharines. It is located inside an old old with plenty of parking in the back. Use the front entrance for the restaurant and the back entrance for the bakery. Being inside a house, there are home-type decorations, including a coach, living room table, paintings, etc. There is indoor seating in 3 areas and outdoor seating on the front porch. Outside the house is a dog-friendly fenced area, with artificial turf and water bowls. The owner and operator has owned several locations in the past. This location had its grand opening on 2024-09-07. The customer service is good. All food and bakery items are made in-house, literally!! I ordered a box of 6 bakery items. They cost $5.99 each or 6 for $30. I chose the following: Canolli, Carmalita, Vegan Millionaire, Keto Krack x 2, Pecan Pie Bar. So far I've tried the Canolli and Keto Krack. They were both good. Can't wait to try the others. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There is free parking in the private parking lot. Review 2024-238

They also serve breakfast, lunch, and pizza, but you have to order a whole pizza since they don't do slices. Their hours are kind of random and it seems like more of a neighborhood/local business type place. Everyone was really friendly and the prices were fair. We ordered lattes and one small pecan pie bites, definitely sweet and super moist.

If I could give this place 0 stars I WOULD!! The service…read morehere is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS, DISRESPECTFUL and DISGUSTING. Today my friend and I were out for breakfast when an individual in need approached me asking for money for food. Instead I offered to buy them a coffee and a sandwich from the cafe. Before I was even able to enter the cafe, an employee stepped out and blocked the entrance. When I asked what he was doing, he said that the individual was not allowed to enter the cafe. Even though I was puzzled by this, I said that if she is not allowed in then I would like to come in since I will be purchasing the meals. The employee looked at me and said no and stated "if you care so much about people, why don't you just drive them home" this is absolutely the most DISGUSTING behaviour I have ever witnessed from an employee, AND who even says that...like how heartless and selfish can you be. I reiterated to the man that I'm not sure what his problem is with this individual, however I am a paying customer and I would like to buy the food. Once again he refused to let me in, and said that if we didn't leave he would be calling the cops. Additionally stating, "I can't let you buy food, because I'm scared you'll give it to her". Once again the service here is absolutely disgusting, and for an employee to speak to a paying customer that way, just because I was trying to buy an individual in need a meal, is truly horrific.

You will often see the same few people working there, and despite how insanely busy it can get, they've even remembered us after almost a month of not being there. I've been both inside and on the back patio. Surprisingly, despite the cold, they did an amazing job of keeping the patio cozy and warm (blankets, seat warmers that may burn your butt if you're not careful but they do warn you, and heat lamps). The vibe of the place is fun and welcoming. I've mostly had the drinks, which are fabulous and their hot chocolate always hits the right note. Their bartender often has new specials and is also very good at creating delicious cocktails. The one food item I have tried was their special crème brûlée, and holyyyyy. I'm pretty sure I'd try every version of that. I plan to go back more and I am excited to one day get to try their other food!

Took us a about 2 minutes to decide on a seat. Fairly empty place but i was with a picky kid and i wanted to sit on the balcony. I sat and my daughter walked through the games and finally decided on one. The waitress/host who greeted us did not come over during this time. While we were setting up our game about 6 minutes after the seat selection the waitress comes over, finally, with water and ask have we been there before I said no and then she says it cost for games. She didn't say that upon entry or in the 6 minutes that I was sitting. This was very frustrating and is a pet peeve of mine. Tell customers all information as soon as possible. I noticed that this happened with another table who came in as we were wrapping up. So, it wasn't just us but please tell people in advance. Gives off sneaky hidden fees vibes. Very quiet place. Cute. The balcony was cute. I ordered my last drink and then ordered dessert and said please go ahead and close my tab and bring the check. That didn't happen. When we finished we sat there for 10 minutes until the waitress came back. It's possible that she didn't hear my requests. I try to be efficient because when a kid gets restless I like to move quickly. No one spoke to us when we left despite there being three staff persons at the door. No one said, "thanks for coming in, hope you enjoyed." "Come back soon" I found that odd and not very customer/patron friendly.
