Best cafe in Whitby…read more The beverage options are extensive and all of them sound delicious. I tried the banana bread iced matcha latte and it was delicious. I also tried the pistachio latte and it was equally as good. The pastries were good but I'm not sure if they are made in house. The place was PACKED on the weekend so it might be hard to find seating. Overall 10/10 cafe

The service is great. The ambiance is great. Menu could use work. My brutally honest opinion is…read morethat this place has many great initiatives and I love supporting women-owned businesses. But if I come back it'll only be for support and not for the taste of the drinks. I also think menu is very extensive which is risky if you don't have some staples down good. All in all, it wasn't bad but the drinks are average. I hope they improve the taste and maybe make menu smaller so they can focus on quality over quantity. I'd love to come back once they do. This is in downtown Whitby so limited street paid parking. 6/10 over all.

I usually order for pick up and the portion to price ratio is pretty disrespectful. The "soup and…read moresalad" combo is $16+tax. You can get a side of Mac and cheese as the soup but $18 after tax for this tiny lunch is insane. I hope it's different as a dine in experience but even then, it should consistent if you're going to advertise your menu as a takeout menu as well. Shameful

Came here first thing on a Saturday morning. We were greeted and our orders were taken promptly…read more You put in your order first, find a table and then your food is brought to you. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage and hashbrowns, and a fruit bowl to share with my friend. The food didn't take long to come out and the portion sizes were pretty decent. They weren't huge, but I still felt pretty full. Taste wise, the food was good as well. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich and hashbrowns.

If you're GF Not Worth Jumping Through the Hoops…read more When I found this place online, I was so excited. When one must follow a gluten-free diet, it is so nice to find places where you can eat what everyone else gets to enjoy. This was anything but enjoyable. I was planning a little Halloween getaway to Kingston and searching for a new and exciting breakfast place to stop on my way there. I found Heaffles and read through their website--I'm always very careful and vet my restaurants before the trip and plan food meticulously, you have to when you cannot eat gluten. The site stated that if you want a gluten free waffle, you must call 24 hours ahead of time. I immediately thought that was ridiculous (that eliminates any possibility of a GF person walk-in from eating there) but messaged them on Instagram. I asked if I could message then and schedule or did a I have to call. They told me I must call the day before. Pain in the bum, but I set a reminder in my phone and did so. The next day, I show up. Such a cute place and the breakfast that kicks off a trip always makes me so happy. We don't eat out much at all, living so rurally. It had also been ages since I'd enjoyed a GF waffle, so excitement was high. This place has a ton of potential. The seating is cute, the bathrooms clean and so beautifully decorated. There is even a little cubby with cushions that would make it feel as though one was having breakfast in bed. I really did fall in love with the space. There didn't appear to me to be a traditional server comes to your table. You walk in and place your order at the counter. I ordered a Flat White to drink along with a water and a gluten-free coconut rush. The young lady at the counter was very quick to tell me that they had a customer coming in to get a GF waffle and that they only had enough batter for one waffle and that I would need to try again and call 24 hours beforehand. Right before I told her I was that customer, my brain was like, what? You have enough batter for ONE waffle??? I make GF stuff all the time. It is NOT that expensive. And what if you mess up that ONE waffle (and they did because she didn't listen to me)? I said, "Oh, I called yesterday." And I had driven a very long way. I would hate for anyone else to do that and end up disappointed. After that, I was allowed to order my waffle. Coconut is my favourite sweet flavour, but it came with strawberries and strawberry syrup. I told her THREE times I didn't want the strawberries or the syrup. Strawberry jam, jelly syrup...I hate them all, also cannot stand cooked fruit. She told me she could put the strawberries on the side and that they were uncooked. I said that was okay, but reiterated AGAIN that I do not want or like the strawberry syrup. I thought I might get my drinks at the counter, but she said they would bring everything to my table. I sat within view of the counter by the window. I assumed, as at most places, the drinks would come out first. I had started on the Terra Health heartburn kit to kick my PPI script and needed to take the supplements before eating. Some ladies came in after me and they got their drink order while I sat and waited. The waffle came out, and I was too panicked by not taking my supplements to pay that much attention and told them I needed some water and that I didn't have my coffee yet. They came back in a few minutes and in the meantime, I saw that the waffle I'd paid nearly $30 for, along with a very tiny flat white coffee, was drenched...every inch in yucky strawberry syrup. I'm a silver lining kind of girl, so I told myself to try it, maybe my tastes have changed. Nope. It was this strong, chemically strawberry flavour that made me gag. Talk about disappointed. At this point it was late in the morning and I was starving. I opened up the waffle (the size, even if they'd managed to listen to my order was not worth what I paid) and ate some of the filling out. The only waffle that had no nasty syrup was at the fold and I ate the four bites I could. The coffee was literally 3 swallows. I left hungry and angry. And in all that time, no one ever came back to ask me how the order was...and I knew I couldn't send it back because that was their ONE GF waffle batter of the day. I had to stop at Wendy's and spend another $10 for a bunless burger after. I would never go back. The ask and not having the batter available is beyond RIDICULOUS, despite the fact they don't listen, which makes a GF person VERY nervous. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. Poor service, poor value and food I couldn't stomach. Not for me.

We got some drinks, and looked around the products display. Very friendly. They have Babyccino drink, a bit of the frothed up milk from a regular (adult) beverage, free for the little ones. So thoughtful to have the little ones feel included with drink in hand! My daughter enjoyed hers .

My favorite hot sauce Purple Tongue, they have art, crocheted items, crystals, soaps, candles etc. I'd definitely come back and explore both the shop and their menu.

The panini's they all sounded amazing and didn't know what to choose. We ordered one to share and it was so good we decided to order another. The ice cream is also good, they were out of the one we wanted but it was still delicious! Service & Cost: I must say i really loved the service. I don't go to Ajax often as i'm from Richmond hill. But the owner is so nice and sweet! Had a real nice chat. She was informative about the menu and talked a bit about herself. She has special events and 10% off for seniors on Tuesdays. All these cute events: Comedy night, games night, open mic night, date night, meetings, live music... They even have board games you can play for free at the back. The price is fair for the quality of food and service that you receive. I will 100% go back and highly recommend to everyone. A real gem both the Cafe and the owner. Love!!

Looking through the menu we had a really tough time deciding what we wanted since there were so many great options! I ordered the Veggie Omelette and I was really impressed by it. The omelette contained grilled onions, spinach and tomato and the veggies were delicious! There was a light sprinkle of feta on top which complemented the flavours very well. My parter ordered the Big Fart and also really enjoyed it. We loved the home fries and the sausages were awesome. We got the pancake as a side and it was probably the fluffiest pancake I've ever seen! The portion sizes were perfect and we left the table comfortably full. We both loved our meals and had a great experience so we can't wait to come back!

Will come back as soon as summer rolls around.

When we walked in we were amazed by the beautiful decor - like a old-fashioned library with cherry blossoms everywhere. We ordered the following to try: - Strawberry Matcha: This was a very steep price but you will quickly realize why it's worth it. It's high grade ceremonial matcha on a layer of strawberry milk and topped with strawberry cream foam. A very large glass at that - an amazing drink! 10/10 - Spanish Latte: I got the 16 oz version which is a huge glass! Cute latte art and the coffee was very strong. 9/10 - Capri Pesto Toast: Yum. Mozzarella, tomatoes, pesto, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. All the toasts are cut in half which makes it easy to share which I thought was a nice touch. 9/10 - Pear Brulee Toast: Delicious and I think I'm going to try a version of this at home. Sliced pear with torched sugar toppings, on brie cheese. An amazing pairing of fruit with cheese. Loved this so much. I was debating this vs the honey comb brie toast and I think I made the right decision to choose this. 10/10 Service overall is slow - be warned (they have a sign). I'd put this at 5 star review otherwise; while there was indeed a lot of care put into all the drinks and food I've found they were easily distracted too. Otherwise this is a great cafe that really takes pride in their drinks and food! I would love to come back to try their other pastries next time.
