Decided to give Angelina's another go for brunch and we started off strong. Restaurant was mostly…read moreempty just after 1pm on a Monday, and we were greeted right away. It was clean and bright and we got a nice seat by the window. Our server was quick to say hello and take our drink order. I'm always impressed with the breadth of the menu here. I landed on the Seafood Yummy Hash, and hubby had the Big breakfast, again. Coffee and water came first, and we were both delighted at how good the coffee was. Most diner style restaurants have a very burnt tasting coffee but this was very smooth. Off to a good start! Food came out very quickly and looked amazing. Both dishes were beautifully plated, and the fruit on the big breakfast was not a typical canned special. Things took a turn at the first bite though. Taste 10/10, but our food was cold. Like cold, cold which was surprising given the restaurant was mostly empty, and it came out so quick. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and very obviously in-house made, but both of our potatoes were quite literally cold, with some of the baby potatoes being hard in the middle still. The sourdough was also stale, but not just stale in taste, it was almost like it had been toasted well in advance and then plated. The review on the big breakfast remains the same as last time. Sausage was amazing, but the bacon and the ham left something to be desired. The server took some time to return back to our table and check in on us. When she did I told her our food was cold. She just kind of made a face, said oooooh, apologized, and that was it. She also had to be reminded to refill our coffees a second time after asking. The last shock came with the bill. While the prices overall were reasonable for very large servings of food, two black coffees came to $11. I know we raved about them at the beginning of the review, but not sure they were $11 good. Really wanted to love it, but not sure it lived up to expectations this time.

It literally changed our lives, and that is not an exaggeration. We get their pumpkin flax gluten free loaf and are never turning back. I, personally, am not allergic to gluten but this is still my favourite bread. Ever. We turn all of our friends on to their products and can happily say we have converted a fair share of people over to 6th ave bread. While we mainly get their fluffy delicious bread (at least a couple loafs per week) they also have other products that are to die for. First, they make hamburger and hotdog buns out of the same ingredients they make our bread from, which is super convenient for us. They also have a bunch of treats (chocolates, tarts, etc.) in the store which I often treat myself to whenever I go in to pick up bread. This is heaven for people with food allergies, especially gluten, but to be honest it's heaven for everyone else as well. They've got us hooked and are definitely doing something right!

Don't be fooled by my photo, there was plenty of turkey, and delicious gravy, on the bottom, because I flipped it. I'll definitely order this delicious meal again! Massive hit, everyone was pleased.

Such a gem in New West!…read more My partner and I just went here for coffee today and he ordered a cappuccino, while I got myself a matcha latte. Both drinks were made exceptionally well; impressively smooth, foamy, balanced, and clearly prepared with care rather than just being an afterthought. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The vibe feels genuinely inclusive and community-driven, with thoughtful touches like the pop-up bookstore featuring books on race, gender, and queer authors. It feels like a space built for connection, not just coffee. I also love how it transforms depending on the day. The daytime café energy is cozy and welcoming, while on select nights they stay open longer, serve alcohol, and host regular events like DJ nights, board game nights, and other community gatherings. It gives the space a lot of personality and makes it feel alive beyond the usual coffee shop experience. Definitely one of those places that feels more like a neighborhood hub than just a café. I'll be visiting a lot more soon!

The matcha taste was not too strong and not the umami matcha but still good nonetheless. I got it with oat milk instead and there wasn't an up charge. It doesn't come with sweetener and u can taste the matcha without it much more but I added 2 pumps of sugar and found that it increased the oat milk taste too much. I would recommend 1-1.5 pumps of liquid sugar (the barista helped me put it in so just ask!). The inside of the cafe was quite cute and they even had a little clothing rack selling second hand items like clothes and shoes! The space is quite big and spacious and has seating at the back as well and washrooms.

I'm so pleased to have a West African restaurant not too far to get take out or drive out to. I've…read moreonly eaten West African cuisine 3 times, but based on my limited expertise I love it! We ordered the following dishes for take out: Egusi with Pounded Yam Fufu: This was my favorite dish made with beef and the right amount of spice. The Fufu had a sticky texture which is between mashed potatoes and mochi. Fufu and Goat Light Soup: This is my second favorite dish since I love goat meat. The soup is lighter than the stew and not as spicy. It's flavorful and comforting. The Fufu was a more yellow color and I believe it was made with corn. This is only available on the weekends. Waakye with Grilled Chicken: This is a Ghanaian dish cooked rice and beans. It came with 1 boiled egg and a small bit of noodles.I wanted more chicken since it only had one drum. I'll likely order this on a monthly rotation.

The staff was very friendly and it was cool seeing representation from different countries in Africa as there was Senegalese food, Nigerian food, and Ghanaian food on the menu! The egusi here is not as spicy as the previous ones I've had but it did come with tripe (while the ones I've had did not). I also got to try okro soup and kenkey (which tasted kind of like mashed sourdough). Personally I prefer a spicier egusi, but I am not sure which one is more authentic. I would recommend this place if you want to try fufu and egusi but cannot eat too much spice. The smell when you enter this restaurant is amazing!
