The ladies working at Ritual on Main are always very pleasant and friendly…read more I really enjoyed my matcha, but when I've had coffees in the pasta there hasn't always been latte art and the coffee/espresso is just ok. For tea, they don't have loose leaf which definitely diminishes the quality which they provide. I like that it's in a neighborhood and locally owned, but the shop itself is just OK.

The problem is the new owner raised prices by a ridiculous amount. Wednesday I purchased a medium…read morelactose free latte and a large regular latte. With a $1.00 tip the total was $11.17. Thursday I made the exact same purchase, same tip but the cost was $15.35. That is a $2.09 increase per latte. When I inquired about the substantial increase I was told they are now using a much better espresso bean. How much more expensive can it be to warrant a $2.09 increase for every shot poured? MONEY GRAB BY NEW OWNER!!

The breakfast menu is varied enough to keep it interesting, and the service is good. The staff is friendly. It has been under newer ownership for about the past 2 years, and I only just found out about it recently - through the Stittsville News (boy oh boy do I miss those community newspapers! Shame on them for closing!) It's not a fancy place, with cement floors, but they have art for sale on the walls, which brightens the place up a bit. The pace is cozy and casual and seems to attract many regulars. I would like to get my little group of knitting friends to meet here at least occasionally. Shopping local really works!

The cafe is adorable with a lovely fireplace but even better is the healthy, unique menu which includes smoothies, juices, desserts, and entrees.

Hope we can time a stop here on our travels back through the area.

Boyfriend and I met his cousin here this afternoon at her suggestion. Beautiful little café and it…read morewas nice to go somewhere else than a chain for once! Beautifully decorated with a vintage vibe and lots of shabby-chic pieces. They seem extremely popular and busy even mid-afternoon; jammed-packed the whole time we were there and with a waiting line-up for a table. Gentleman who seemed to be the owner or manager was extremely pleasant and went above and beyond to find us a table quickly (even moving chairs around) after Cousin and I explained that Boyfriend (who was outside parking the car) would never wait for the 30 min announced at first. All the staff there seemed very nice, fast, constantly cleaning, arranging seating, serving, etc. We only had coffees (which were fine but nothing mind blowing) so I cannot judge on the menu. Would recommend this place though, if only for the super hardworking staff!

Came here for breakfast sweetness last weekend!…read more The inside of this cafe is beautifully decorated. A bit confusing if you're not a local because there is not a real service restaurant. You wait to be seated but you order first and they bring your selection to your table. Water is available but you serve yourself. They serve a variety of sweet and savoury crepes but also a variety of yummy desserts. It is a very busy place and I can see why! The crepes and variety of crepes are out of this world! I ordered the biscoff crepe....it was beyond yummy. It's the type of yumminess where you complete forget your with someone and focus solely on every morsel eaten. Definitely a must visit spot if you enjoy crepes both savoury and sweet! I will be back!

Of course, you can't just sit down in any restaurant these days to enjoy your food, because of COVID. But you CAN get a treat and take it away. You can eat outside, especially when it's sunny out and the weather is nice. Or serve them for desert to your family, while celebrating thanksgiving, or birthday(s). I like to bake, but to be honest, I'm not so good with the fancying up the baked goods - too much like "playing with your food"! We tried a package of 6, and saved 10%, which was very nice. Bear in mind that these are not your average pastries; they are in fact more expensive. You'll pay between $2.50 and $3.50 per doughnut. But they really are beautiful! And I really did need a pick-me-up! And I really enjoyed the goo-ier ones... Lots of sugar rush in these :-) I will remember this place for special occasions!
