The selection is quite limited to muffins, cinnamon buns and buttermilk donuts. If you get here early enough, you'll luck out on the baking still being warm. This place does the trick if you're swimming on the beach below or if you're passing through on the highway and nothing else tickles your fancy.

A couple of weeks ago while on a road trip from Vancouver back to Toronto, Kenora was the first…read moreOntario city we stopped in and of course, checked for highly rated coffee shops and found out about this place. Walked in and really liked how the interior was set up. Normally I get an oat latte, but decided to try their Signature Bridge Latte made with oat milk. While waiting for my drink to be made, I went upstairs and found there's a cute low-ceiling loft-style seating area that overlooks the shop. The Signature Latte was good! Slight sweetness from the brown sugar and cinnamon. There were various groups sitting together and also groups ordering for takeout, so you know this is the place for a good drink and conversation.

My daughter decides to order a matcha latte but was unaware that it was loaded with sugar. So we kindly asked if we could substitute with a tea......well if looks could kill from the lady making sandwiches I would not be alive to read this. It took them at least 30 seconds to respond and her response to us was "well I guess so" It only was that awful but my cappuccino had cold foam and cold milk. What a lousy place this has become. So different from the vibe and quality of years ago. Will never be visiting again. Ugh what horrible service. You can tell none of those people like being there :(

**** This ended up…read morebeing one of our favorite spots in Kenora--we liked it so much that we came back twice during our trip! The first time was for drinks with six of us on the patio. We had such a great time that we returned the following night with four of us just before closing for pizza. Jonathan was our server both times, and he was fantastic--friendly, efficient, attentive, and just plain fun. He even accidentally spilled a glass of Prosecco on me during our first visit (luckily I was wearing black!), but he handled it with humor and professionalism. The fact that we happily came back the very next night says everything about the overall experience. On our second visit, we ordered the 13-inch Canadian NWO pizza (pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, and mozzarella). As someone from the U.S., I'd never even heard of an "NWO" pizza! It was delicious, although the crust was just a little more done than I prefer. At around $26 CAD, it was a bit pricey, but we'd still order it again. The beer was good, though none of the ones we sampled really wowed us. Honestly, that hardly mattered because the atmosphere was so much fun. We loved both the patio and the indoor/outdoor seating, and the place had a lively, welcoming energy that made us want to stay awhile. We enjoyed it so much that we even bought a T-shirt before leaving. If you're in Kenora, don't miss this place. Great service, good food, a fun vibe, and a perfect place to relax with family or friends. We'd absolutely be back.
