We came here for Sunday brunch with friends and ordered the Timberjack Special (all day breakfast…read moremeal) and Mojakka Meal (homemade menu). My husband and I wanted to try the Finnish staples. Overall, the food was good. The breakfast was standard and as expected. I liked the Finnish pancakes because they were soft, buttery, and the right amount of eggy. I just wished the dish was a bit more filling. My husband enjoyed his Mojakka stew -- it was hearty and comforting. The beef was tender. It wasn't the most flavourful stew, but I think the point of this stew is to be hearty and classic rather than unique / bursting with spices. Again, my only criticism would be the portion size being on the smaller side. The service was prompt and friendly.

Apparently they got bought out by Coffee Time and have become the northern Ontario chain for coffee that rivals Tim Horton's. Good luck with that, I say. The coffee shop is clean, quiet, with effective staff. This one being across the street from the Travelodge I was staying at (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/travelodge-thunder-bay-thunder-bay) made it the place I had to start my day. Not necessarily for me, but for everyone else that would have to deal with me that day. Ordering the usual black coffee, the first sip confirmed my suspicions. This is basically a Coffee Time coffee in a different cup. Tasted pretty darn similar to me. Sadly, I'm not a big fan of Coffee Time coffee, but beggars can't be choosers. The donuts are fine; the sandwiches are made in front of you. It's not a bad place to stop if you're in need of a quick coffee, but I'd not make a special trip. This may just give you enough juice to get to a Starbucks or even better, an independent coffee shop.

It's essentially thin crepes that has a soft chewy texture with a great crisp on the outside edges. We added the in-house strawberry compote, which was nice, but I almost preferred the eggy crepey flavour on its own hehe! We also had their Eggs Benedict, which was done right, although their house potato's weren't crispy to my liking.

We asked for a table near the window, so we could look out and enjoy the view of the bay but it needed to be cleared. The waitress seamed irritated by this and told us to go sit in the lobby and wait until it was clear. A second waitress came to seat us was not as grumpy but still seamed a bit off. We ordered a burger and a salad, basic items. The burger was overcooked, we asked for a salad with mixed green garden lettuce, but it was served with just Romain lettuce, And finally, we found a hair in the salad. They took 20% off the bill but it was still gross. I heard the table behind us behind us complaining about their food as well and they got 20% knocked off their bill for something that went wrong. We were definitely disappointed with the high prices that this restaurant charges and the quality of food we were presented with With so many incredible restaurants within walking distance, being in this high-end neighborhood and associated with the Marriott hotels, this restaurant is way off brand.

For food, I ordered the prosciutto gouda pretzel and tomato spinach roll. If I had to choose my favourite between the two it would be the pretzel - it was very crispy and definitely the best tasting pretzel I've had.

Very reasonable portions and prices coupled with freshness and great taste - this is probably the best cafe I've been to including ones in Ottawa and Toronto.
