The place was also packed which was a great sign ;) will absolutely return if I am in the area again!

Good variety of food and drink and they use fresh locally grown ingredients (grown in their front garden beds). Latte and coffee are a nice change from the mass corporate chain locations as they make it fresh to order. The salad was so fresh and tasty that I would eat more salad if they all tasted as good as this one. Pizzas look great and the apple crumble was warm and tasty. Looks like it's a local place to gather and they have a community hall attached where it looks like some bands play music and their is a dance floor. Quaint little cafe and "Neat" place to visit.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute little cafe. Ambiance is nice…read morebut I wasn't wowed by my cinnamon bun or tea. The Long Version: My husband and I met my husband's sister and her husband here to hang out before we went to see a show at the Studio Theatre. I got a cinnamon bun ($3.50) and a herbal tea ($3.50), and my husband got a black coffee ($2.75). The cinnamon bun was unremarkable in my opinion. It was just ok, maybe even a bit dry, and also on the thin side. Not thick and fluffy. My tea was just a tea bag from Four O'clock Teas (I got Turmeric Cinnamon, which at least is a more unusual flavour that I haven't seen in stores). The temperature was nice and hot, but it was just bagged tea from a brand sold in health food stores. The inside of the cafe is nice. We sat in the front room near the service counter, but there are back rooms that are a bit more quiet. I would say the ambiance is the nicest thing. Service was pleasant. Maybe some of their other baked goods have more oomph and maybe their crafted drinks are special. My experience was just ok, but it might have been what I ordered. Street parking or paid parking lot parking only, but the lots are free on weekends and you can park on the street for 2 hours for free. Review #39 (2025)

There are not a lot of tables to eat at - only 3, with a few couches interspersed. The staff and patrons are friendly. We got there early today, and had time to look around before our friends got there. This gave us time to wait for a table, It gets busy in here, so ordering can take some time. However, the food was a while coming out. Our food came out well before our friends' food. However, the food was tasty when it did come out. Unfortunately, my eggs were a bit better done than I like them, but the meal was still edible, while we were eating and our friends were waiting for their food, the waitress admitted that they were short staffed by 2 people (you could really tell!) Later on, we heard they had run out of eggs. Although it is an interesting place, with an eclectic menu, and it's not next door for us, I would not be in a hurry to go back. I would give it one more chance, though, in a while, hoping they get their staffing issues sorted.

Alas, we couldn't try the coffee or the food because we discovered it late on a Monday and it is closed Tuesday.
