We went to equator coffee Saturday morning. It wasn't overly busy and the service was quite quick…read more There is plenty of seating and large windows for people watching with delicious coffee. We paid $18 for two large Americanos, one croissant and one apple fritter, which I thought was a tad pricey. The location is inside the National Arts Centre, and cannot be accessed directly from outside.

A cozy little cafe!…read more I really like the causal vibes of this place, it's really great for a lazy weekend brunch. The menu is simple and short but still has basically all the popular brunch items. I got the breakfast sandwich in both the croissant and bagel. Overall very enjoyable! The croissant was very good and buttery but it was kind of messy to eat. I would probably stick with the bagel next time! For drinks I tried one of the staff recommendations and a drip coffee. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I thought the Lilly was very good, sweet but not too heavy or sugary, but it was a little bit expensive for the price as the cup was fairly small. Price was okay overall factoring in the sandwich as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my breakfast here and would love to come back next time I'm in town!

The cutest rustic elegant cafe in Orleans. Beyond Cafe has both a lovely atmosphere and their…read moredrinks are phenomenal too! I visited recently with my friend and we both ordered a specialty iced drink. I ordered the Iced Shake Toffee Nut with Cold Foam. This drink has a strong coffee flavour and you can truly taste the toffee nut. I like that it's super refreshing and it's perfect for the summer days. My friend ordered the Ice Biscoff Latte with Whipped Cream. If you are a biscoff fan, this is a must-order. They use biscoff to blend into the latte and they even place a full biscoff cookie on top of the whipped cream. It balances the sweetness of the drink and the coffee flavour at the same time. We also ordered the Smoked Salmon Toast which has a garlicky cream cheese, cucumber, smoked salmon, fresh dill, avocado, capers, radish and a slice of lime. This is a hefty gourmet toast and I love how fresh all the ingredients are. Make sure to squeeze the slice of lime before having it, and it really adds some sourness to the whole dish. I am a huge fan of capers, so this added some tanginess! All the employees are really kind-hearted and will come around often to check in on their customers. They gave good suggestions on both food and drinks. I really like the whole atmosphere of this restaurant. A must-visit if you haven't already!

You seat yourself and go up & order, they have a no laptop policy. They make incredible drinks, I've tried both cold/ hot and smoothies & all have been very delicious.

5 stars because I'm very happy to have a good coffee shop close to work…read more They offer some light fare for food, so you don't have to go hungry while you slake your thirst. The coffee is good. Service is pleasant enough, but seems to almost always be someone different. Maybe that's a sign of the times, though? An easy walk from work, this site is in an ongoing Cindy zone right now. You have to have eyes in back of your head!! That's not their fault, though.

I go to the 2222 Carling Avenue Starbucks in Ottawa once a week…read more As a senior (81), it`s my weekly treat: grande latte and sourdough grilled cheese. The staff is so very nice and efficient, ready to oblige for the extra foam on top of latte. Last week, although it was very busy, Derek, who took my order, remained very courteous, and later inquired if I had enjoyed my latte. I always do! Thanks Starbucks for staying open in my neighborhood.

What a cute little cafe that I never knew existed! It's in an industrial part of Orleans…read more Apparently it opened in October 2021. It was hopping at lunchtime! Full of people! They serve coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, pastries and squares. They share their space with The Niche Ottawa Gallery which showcases art from Ottawan artists. The cafe is eclectic and has a cozy community feel to it. I like it. I got 2 sandwiches there. Their sandwiches are actually from Lunchbox (which has a location close by in Orleans and a newly opened one in Hintonburg). I got a BLT and a Chickpea Salad sandwich. Both were very good. I had a bite of each. My dad loved the Chickpea Salad sandwich. He said it was interesting and different from other sandwiches that he's had. It was chickpeas mixed with corn in a mayo sauce with a hint of curry. It had some greens and fresh herbs in it too. The BLT had the usual bacon, lettuce and tomato, but also a special sauce in it, that made it unique. My mom liked the BLT sandwich. What a great discovery! It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth the detour :) Lots of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.
