    Interior

    I love coming here for a delicious latte on my lunch break. I usually get a Blueberry Latte and they make it perfectly every single time. The interior is also very beautiful.

    Coffee was amazing and good service despite being short staffed. Even gave us a complimentary drink for waiting longer than usual. Thanks Dova!

    Stopped in to grab a matcha and Dova didn't disappoint. I ordered the cinnamon and brown sugar matcha with oat milk. They hand whisk the matcha and I asked for 25% sweetness. It was very good. Tasted like a horchata matcha. My partner ordered the horchata latte w/an extra shot because they only have one drink size. He liked it though. They also sell food, but we didn't eat here. No pet friendly patio, but vegetarian options. The inside is cute and clean too.

    The food was okay overall, but a few things could be better. The chilaquiles didn't come with eggs, which was a bit surprising, and there was an extra charge to add them. The kids' pancake, unfortunately, wasn't great, it was thin, dry, and overcooked, and my child didn't want to eat it. I tried it too and agreed it wasn't very good. We ordered hot chocolate, but the first one just tasted like warm milk, so we sent it back. The staff was nice about it, and the second one came out much better. The restaurant had a ton of Halloween decorations, which were fun, but a few were a little too scary for my child and even myself. The staff kindly let us move to a different table, which I really appreciated. Prices felt a bit high for what we got. I get that it's a small café, but the food quality didn't quite match the cost. We went on a Saturday morning, right when they opened and they were still cleaning the floors and windows. It smelled heavily like PineSol in the restaurant. The smells went away eventually but we were thinking of leaving from the strong smell, as they were mopping right in front of our table as well. Overall, I think this place has potential, if they improve the food, adjust the pricing a little, and tone down the decor, it could be a really nice spot.

    Salsa Verde Carnitas Chilaquiles

    Had this spot on my places to visit for a while and I'm glad we finally had a chance to go. The salsa verde chilaquiles skillet with carnitas, oh my goodness sooooo good! Definitely had a nice spicy kick, portions were pretty big. My husband got the fajitas skillet, he thought my chilaquiles skillet had more flavor. My daughter got the kids pancake plate, portion was actually pretty big and we stole a bit Of the pancakes (they were so good) I wouldn't mind getting the pancakes myself next time. Lattes were definitely on the sweet side but they had just run out of cold brew. Excited to Come back soon and try other things on the menu.

    The aesthetics are EVERYTHING !!!! Such a cute little brunch spot in ontario, came in on a Saturday party of three, got seated right away. Service was great ! Got to meet the owners, who were a brother and sister. Just starting a business. The brother was the one who designed the interior which was so cute !!! Honestly love it !!! The drinks were great ! Loved how strong it was! Not too sweet !! I just feel like they should elevate their food a little more. The potatoes were more on the softer side. The pricing was decent but expected more from the food. Definitely coming back !!! Must try spot in the IE !!

    After almost a year, I decided to try this place out again. Guess what, the wait time to get our food did not change. Last time, we left without getting our food, this time we decided to sit it out. 45 mins later and I still don't go have my food. Here's what gets me, there are 5 front of the house employees, so if the kitchen is short staffed that should've been expressed to us as we were seated. I don't know why I decided to try again. Regardless of the taste of the food, I would not be back. This is unacceptable. I'm thoroughly disappointed yet again. I'll be posting the receipt later since the business owner doesn't believe I was there.

    Nutella Latte and Chips/Salsa

    First off this place adds a little beauty to Holt Ave, a place that needs that. My wife and I finally decided to have breakfast here and the inside of the cafe is a great atmosphere. This place is like any cafe where you can order to go by directly walking to the counter or self seating if you want to dine in. We ordered the chicken and waffles, the horchata latte (iced), the Nutella latte (iced) 10/10! We ended up devouring the plate before we even thought to write a review or take a picture. But hey, that's a good thing! Amazing staff and cooks! 10/10 service! Be kind and kindness comes to you!

    Classic Benny; Delicious! So far the best Benedict I've ever had.

    I visited for a second time, hoping to enjoy the food as much as I did on my first visit, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food didn't taste anything like before (I'm convinced there was a different chef), and the service was poor. Although the restaurant wasn't busy, it took a while for the staff to seat us, and they ended up bringing the wrong orders while forgetting items we asked for. The omelet my friend received was the strangest I've seen--very thin and made entirely of egg whites--and according to my friend, it didn't taste great. My eggs Benedict was also incorrect, and when we both ordered the café horchata, they arrived cold and tasted completely different from each other. (Forgot to take pics for reference) One thing I do appreciate is that they removed both dishes from our bill due to the issues, though we were still charged for the horchata. I really wanted to like this place, but sadly, I won't be returning.

    Café de olla drool

    Hubby and I were in the area and needed some food and found this spot and omg am so glad we went in! Parking is scarce but we found a spot. We had my maltipoo with us and we're gonna order to go but they graciously allowed us to bring her in and I am so grateful! My furbaby is 10 yo and fell asleep:) and we were overwhelmed with the menu but asked and got some recommendations and they hit the spot! Hubs got the French toast and loved it! I got the chilaquiles verdes and they were delicious! Am now obsessed with their cafe de olla! Will definitely be back!!

    Eggs, potatoes, sausage

    Visited on a weekday morning right when they opened. Server informed us about items they did not have in that day one was avocado and cold brew which was what I was going to order. She was very friendly and attentive. The food looked much better than it tasted. The eggs didn't taste as fresh and almost watery. The French toast looked amazing but just felt like it needed something. The coffee was pretty good had a caramelita and a matcha but the matcha wasn't the best. The restaurant itself had such a cool and relaxing vibe I could see myself coming for a coffee and side.

    This place has become our go to place for breakfast and birthdays. The staff is always super friendly. The food is delicious! We had the carnitas omelette with the breakfast potatoes, signature steak quesadilla and signature carnitas cubano quesadilla and they were all very good! The coffees are also good. I've had the horchata latte, cafe de olla, and la morenita. For these hot days I recommend to try the iced horchata latte *chef's kiss*. The place is super cute.

    Worst customer service ever at Dova Cafe. We waited over 35 minutes for our food. When it finally came out, they brought plates for my husband and me only to then tell us they were out of crepe batter, meaning there was no food for my daughters. What made it worse is that no one checked in on us the entire time. We were sitting there waiting, thirsty, with no updates or communication. Why not tell customers ahead of time instead of waiting until food is already on the table? They offered pancakes as a replacement, which felt like an afterthought rather than proper customer care. This experience could have been handled so much better with basic communication. Take your money elsewhere not worth it.

Service was friendly and laid back. Each bowl is constructed by hand, made customizable however you like it. That does take a bit of time, so plan a few extra minutes to wait in line, and treat yourself to one of their delicious bowls. There is no seating inside, but there's communal seating outside.

We ordered two of the same protein smoothies and they came out noticeably different. One looked and tasted like extra milk was added just to fill the second cup. You could literally see the color difference. We asked for them to be remade but honestly the remakes tasted even worse. They were so thick and overloaded with peanut butter that it felt like drinking peanut butter straight out of the jar. It wasn't even really drinkable. The superfood and protein smoothies this time were just really lacking in flavor and balance. What makes it more frustrating is that the last 20 times we've been here it always hits. This one visit completely missed the mark. Hoping it was just an off day because we'd hate for this to be the last experience that sticks with us.
