Best food and atmosphere i’ve ever encountered. I started to replace going to chain restaurants and cafes with small businesses and this truly is a hidden gem within the community. The restaurant not only has such wonderful workers who greet me every time I come in with a smile and know my usual order, but they truly go above and beyond with the quality of service and food that they produce. Every sandwich is made fresh every morning, from the bread to the ingredients, every coffee is made fresh, and I truly bring every person I know here for the food and experience, as nothing matches it. Every bite tastes amazing and I recommend that every person has this type of experience here at least once as they have everything from savoury to sweet and even healthy options!
Just discovered this amazing place with two friends yesterday after walking by it so many times before...go inside! The food quality and taste were incredible, service was fantastic. Beautiful and clean space. I had a wagyu steak, my friends had the breakfast plates. The prices are totally fair for what you are getting - it's real food, homemade from scratch, not the highly processed junk that is typically served at chain stores. You can't compare the food with Tim Horton's or similar places. Real food costs more. There is a delicious selection of GF, DF, Pork Free options, including desserts, which I will be back to try the next visit! The owner was so knowledgeable about allergies, very welcoming and accommodating. There is a little store in the back with meats and European goodies. Our new favourite place! PS: there are tables out front, you can bring your pup to hang out! Update: I went back another night with my pup and the owner served him water in a little bowl! You feel like you're visiting a friend's house for dinner.
I went here for coffee while waiting for another appointment in the mall. The coffee was decent and they had a good selection of desserts. I had the purple vegan cake because it was pretty. I'm not vegan, but the cake was enjoyable.
They have great gluten free and dairy free foods as well as coffee. Their sweets are savoury and their staff are so pleasant and kind. Modern chic decor, makes it even more pleasant. Update: The food is good a bit pricey, unfortunately they don’t have everything on the menu. Some of the food I ordered took over 30 minutes to come. Sometimes I had to remind the server about my food. In another instance When I asked for the Sunday gelato they were promoting, the server didn’t know what I was talking about. I had to show her a picture and still she didn’t understand what I was talking about, until I explained they were offering this signature gelato at their restaurant. They do make their own desserts which are actually delicious and food is fresh.
Another gem tucked away in a little plaza in Etobicoke on Burnamthorpe Road. I had a peppermint tea and the vegan cake. Omg! Yum! Great friendly service. My coffee companion had the Aruba roll and a beautiful coffee. And the place was clean and a great place to sit for a coffee. Beautiful atmosphere and good music. It’s a restaurant but we were there for a coffee.
Great experience working with the owner to try their dough for a pizza night at home. Guests loved the pizza! The dough was great and she is very friendly to work with.
