    This shop is right in my neighborhood and I am so grateful. The owner is always so positive and…read morefriendly. The vibe is very cozy--I fondly remember walking here in knee-high snow after the thunder snow storm. Even then, the shop was up and running, ready to welcome us after a long morning of shoveling. I love coming here for a quick cozy lunch or a weekend morning coffee. I recommend the soup or the cafe mocha (which they can make less sweet).

    This is an adorable cafe, very quaint but very small. There are only 3 tables that seat 4 people,…read moreso my family and I had a fairly difficult time finding a spot since many pairs had taken the four-seaters. We were, however, very fortunate as one party of four was just leaving! Since we went in January, the cute Christmas decorations were all still up. The chalkboard is a lovely touch, filled with many scribbles and comments from visitors. Upon sitting down, we ordered four portions of their very famous roasted red pepper tomato soup. My order came with a side of chickpea artichoke salad (cost $8.38) - the waiter/cashier emphasized how it's a popular choice, so I decided to give it a try. It was a generous portion of both chickpeas and artichokes, but I found it overly sour (the balsamic vinegar) and there was just a bit too much oil. That being said, it was extremely filling! My dad's order came with the savoury scone/tea biscuit ($6.00). He enjoyed it very much, and wolfed it down. Meanwhile, my mom ordered a panini side ($8.38) - she got the chicken, bacon, cheddar, but we couldn't taste any bacon whatsoever. There were massive chunks of chicken, and the cheddar was deliciously stringy. The exterior was also perfectly crispy! The soup was very good ($5-6)! I loved it a lot, but my family's comments were that it became increasingly sour near the end. Indeed, it definitely needs to be served with some crackers to even out its tangy and tomato-y flavour. It was rich in ingredients, as I could feel the rough texture of ground-up celery, tomatoes, onions, etc. The service is impeccable - very kind, though slow. When we arrived, there was only one person on shift. Our waiter was very kind and patient, willing to explain each order and walk us through what's famous. When we asked about the soup, he gave us a small ramekin to sample and share. Moreover, halfway through the meal, he approached our table, apologized for not serving us water, and immediately brought some over. Because of the single-person shift, they also tended to be slow in clearing tables and in bringing our food over.
