A VERY special and LOUD shout out to hostess Phoebe for making my birthday EXTRA happy this past…read moreSaturday. Kind, well-spoken, gentle, efficient, always a smile on her face and she went above and beyond. I had a 12:15 pm reservation. Unfortunately a group was taking much longer than expected. I waited over 30+ mins to be seated and so yes, I could've made a scene, but that wouldn't be me. Phoebe could've just let things be ... you know? Because "it is what it is". But she didn't. Once she seated me and my friend, she offered to take photos for me and of me. SO thoughtful! She also brought me a beautiful ice cream with a sparkling candle in it. SO sweet! She smiled at me every time she walked by almost as a way to make sure I was doing OK and feeling good. She was WAY more attentive than our female server who looked, sounded and acted like she couldn't leave work soon enough. Wasn't going to let her dampen my birthday though... Food tasted good. Presentation was beautiful. The male server who took over was SUPERB. Genuinely happy to "close out" our transaction with him. He was super attentive and willing to make everything go well. Thank you, Phoebe and male server for making my birthday memorable. XO

We were in Calgary for a night for our Lake Louise trip. Before our road trip, we decided to come…read morehere. First off, parking is small af. You only have about 5 or 6 spaces since it seems like the rest of the spaces have a "no parking" sign in front of each space... wtf... The place was nicely decorated and quaint. Loved the vibe. We walked in at 8am, opening time, and there were two parties sitting already. We got seated and looked at the menu. Our waitress was very friendly and mentioned that the Queens Breakfast, and the Montreal Smoked Brisket were the popular dishes. I decided on the Omelette Al Tartufo and my wife decided on the Montreal Smoked Brisket with Poached Egg. The Omelette Al Tartufo was good. Had a good earthy taste of the truffle. They had truffle paste so a hint of real truffle was there. There was a bit of melted cheese in there but there was a good balance. My wife had the Montreal Smoked meat with poached egg, which was also good. Pastrami-like protein with a poached egg, presented in a croissant. Very good, but very filling. Eat this, and you won't be having lunch! All in all, good food, and good service.

The staff was polite and the food was great. However, the wait for the food took longer than expected. But like I said, it was very busy. If you come here, or any breakfast/brunch place, expect to spend a good 2 hrs. It's not just a quick bite, it's an experience.

After pointing out some…read moreof the obvious grime, dust, and food remains on furniture and structures separating booths to management last week, I was disappointed to see it even more filthy this morning. In an era post-Covid, the words CLEAN, SANITIZED, DISINFECTED.....SAFE are reasonable expectations for the public entering a restaurant. I have several years experience in the industry and the state of this establishment is atrocious. This would have been unacceptable even pre-Covid adding to my concerns. My wish is for people to care a little. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like ...... I can only imagine

Looking for a place to eat and drive pasted and decided to check this place out…read more The menu had a wide array of breakfast items to choose from as well as burgers. We decided on our meals Stacked waffles came with 2 waffles 2 bacon, 2 sausage and potato chucks, Stacked pancake came with: 2 pancakes 2 bacon 2 sausage and potato chunks and a coffee. The meal was huge and piping HOT. Jake our server was good and kept our coffee full and made sure we were happy with the meal. Monday through to Friday they have a breakfast special $6.99 from 7 am to 9 am. We missed that one by a few hours. -inside the restaurant has limited seating -limited parking Loved the food and will definitely be back to try the early bird breakfast!!

What I love about this place is how inclusive it is while being so flavor forward…read more Our group had vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, folks with walnut allergy and dairy intolerance and we all found plenty of options to pick from and try the range. Vegan breakfast options that too savory are hard to come by. You're limited to soy or coconut yogurt or just potatoes but this place had buddha bowl, tofu bowl, ramen, salads. So many options. Additionally they can make modifications to accomodate any requirements. We had our coffees made with soy milk and sugar free syrup. Everything is plated so beautifully. Super fast and friendly service. You must reserve ahead online a day before atleast before you go to ensure they confirm a spot because the seating is limited. In addition to kitchen items they also have a small bakery shelf for banana breads or anything else. 10/10 would recommend.

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this café. The male owner, Zack, was dismissive from the…read morestart. We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

Best of all, the food was delicious. Every dish we tried over the two days with a party of five was exactly as described. They were able to accommodate our dairy allergy and gluten free preferences. We loved the chicken and waffles and the Holy CRaB (if that's your sort of food). The waffle dishes have a delicious light almond flavor and were the perfect consistency and texture. My family also loved their hashes, chia seed pudding, crepes and pancakes. Even the drinks were delicious.
