I usually order for pick up and the portion to price ratio is pretty disrespectful. The "soup and salad" 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 read more

Goldies Cafe - Greek salad and a side of Mac and cheese - Cafes Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Came here first thing on a Saturday morning. We were greeted and our orders were taken promptly. 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. read more

Goldies Cafe - Breakfast sandwich and hashbrowns - Cafes Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

I like Goldies a lot - it is probably one of the best brunch spots around. The price is reasonable (that said, it would encourage you to order more, which can quickly become a bigger bill than expected). Some items are a lot more delicious than the others. The tomato smoky gouda soup and ham and swiss scones were the MVP of everything we ordered. The layers of flavour in the soup were heavenly. The melty swiss cheese and the freshly cut, salty ham on top of the buttery croissant-scones...damn. The French toast was okay--not very impressive. I found the lattes a bit too sweet for my liking. Still, it was a very satisfying meal, and I'd be back whenever I'm in Durham again. The space is super clean and comfortable. read more

I discovered this spot through social media after seeing their latte flight and decided to give it a try. While the staff were friendly and the host ensured we got a booth, the overall experience was disappointing. The latte flight was underwhelming, with each drink tasting nearly identical. They were also out of French toast--surprising for a Monday morning when the full menu should be available. Before learning this, I asked if they could make it with their gluten-free bread, which is listed on the menu, but they said they couldn't--even if they had the French toast. This seemed odd, especially since they offer plenty of vegetarian options but very few gluten-free ones. Service was slow, and when we finally received a bottle of water, the inside was visibly dirty with grime. The waffles I ordered were dense and starchy, while my friend's breakfast board had an extremely small portion of eggs, and the potatoes looked barely cooked. It also took 30 minutes just to get a takeout container. This place has potential but needs to improve its food quality, menu options, and service. Given that guests have to place their own orders at the counter, the slow service is unacceptable. If you're looking for a satisfying breakfast, I'd recommend going to Cora's instead--you'll get better quality food, and your wallet and taste buds will thank you. This spot seems more focused on presentation than taste, so if you're an influencer, you might enjoy it. read more

I've always been very happy with the quality of the food and drinks here. Some people say the prices are on the high side, which I can understand, but also appreciate that this is a business and you're paying for quality. I find service hit and miss, and definitely depends on who is working. Some days it's very friendly and welcoming, others it seems like you're an inconvenience and staff make no effort to interact or smile. read more

Excellent cafe. I thoroughly enjoyed all the flights for both latte and hot chocolate. There was a variety of different flavours to choose from! Food was excellent - big portions and delicious. Service was 10/10, staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. I recommend friends and family coming here - it's a beautiful space with lots of natural light and a nice cafe vibe. read more

I came here with a friend just to hang out and catch up and I was so satisfied with the service and with our drinks. We just came to grab a quick lunch drink and I had the white hot chocolate, which was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be coming back for the hot chocolate flight And my friend had the peach mango smoothie which she said was super good. Service was quick, they took our order and then delivered it to the table. read more

After another visit about a year later, I can say that this place has lost its charm and I don't have a need to come back. My initial visit earned a 5 star review but now, with a price increase that doesn't seem to match up to the portions, I don't think it's worth it anymore. What I really liked about this spot previously was that their prices were affordable and fair for what you get. Now that they've hiked their prices a few bucks per item, it brings this down to just an average spot. The only reason I might come back is if I'm craving a latte or mimosa (haven't tried) flight because it's a unique offering, but their food portions are underwhelming for the price. My bf got the grilled Mediterranean sandwich and to him it was snack-sized, not enough to fill him. Overall, it's still a cute spot to come and catch up with friends, and their drinks are really cute and does the job at what you need from a cafe, but again, a little on the pricier side for what you get in terms of the food. read more

Right off the bat, around this place, this gives me a good impression. I already have high hopes. Food - breakfast, lunch, beverages like teas, coffees and espressos, smoothies, mimosa and coffee flights, soups, salads, sides, and deserts seem to scream at me in a good way! And after eating, it most certainly is!! I had the breakfast sandwich and with what comes with, a side of broccoli cheddar soup. Both were just so good! Unfortunately, the Churro board alluded me as I was in a hurry. Next time my friend! Service - order at the counter and the food comes over with a table number. People are friendly. Ambiance - similar to Corner Bakery but better and homey feel! Verdict - for sure, a must try! Day 2 - visit Ordered the chicken Greek wrap. My self expectations didn't align with what they served not to their fault but mine. I was expecting a Greek Gyro for some odd reason as I love Gyros. This is not a gyro but a true wrap. Not even close. No Tsasiki sauce, no feta cheese. Was it good, we'll not bad but not what I would have wanted. I think we just didn't order what we wanted. Place still good but what we ordered didn't align with our expectations. read more

I just moved to Ajax, and this place was highly recommended. I ordered all the things, a latte, flight, soup, and a sandwich. They have flights of everything, and I am all for it! I tried four different flavoured lattes. They also have soup flights! The roasted red pepper, and Gouda soup is life-changing. It's the best roasted red pepper soup I've ever had. The ham and cheese on a fresh croissant sandwich was delicious. I got the seven green salad as a side and it was very tasty. The parking lot is busy, but there are lots of spots. it's a café style ordering system where you order at the counter and you were given a number to put on your table. Service was great! It's pretty busy so it's pretty loud in there. They also have a patio! Will be back! read more

First visit to this coffee shop/cafe in Ajax. It was a busy Saturday morning. We arrived around 10am. There was a short line up. They have a good selection of food, coffee & drinks. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have a patio available. The restaurant is clean and lots of natural light. They have ample parking located inside a plaza. It appears to be a local favourite. This is the only location. We ordered the breakfast board (available only on weekends), latte flight (comes with 4 cute hot or cold latte cups - they have about 10 flavours to choose from) and our little one ordered the grilled cheese with bacon and hashbrown. They also have mimosa flight available. I would definitely try it next time! The breakfast board comes with French toast, parfait, bacon, hash down, scrambled eggs, some strips of bread, sausage, slice of grapefruit and waffle strips (good for sharing) :) We really enjoyed everything and will be back to try more dishes and drinks! read more

Had a great time with my friends. Got a couple appetizers before the main course. The food and service were great. Could have been a little faster but it was busy so i understand. I would go back for the ambiance for sure. read more

The peameal bacon sandwich here was HEAVENLY - truly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Every single bite was so delectable I did not want the sandwich to end. I also really enjoyed the little side salad I got. The service here was super friendly. It has a cozy little vibe, and I had a nice table close to the fireplace. I would 10/10 return and recommend! read more

My second time getting take out and both times have been amazing. The soup trio is truly next level. You won't go wrong with the Tomato, Broccoli and cheese and mac and cheese options. Great service, friendly staff and excellent food! read more

We visited Goldie's on a Saturday for brunch. There was no wait for a table and the staff was quick to provide us with menus. The space is cute and sort of reminds me of Coffee Culture. We shared the breakfast board which ended up being quite a lot of food! The food was just OK, I've had better breakfasts; but I would come back for the variety it offers. For $22, you get a good amount of food to feed two people including French toast and waffle sticks, bacon and sausage and a yogurt parfait. The staff was attentive and quick to clean tables. I would come back again to try the soups and sandwiches, they looked fantastic. read more

You have got to try their tomato Gouda soup. My daughter thinks it is out of this world. Our recent trip was great. Alanhha(sorry if I spelt it wrong) was so delightful. I needed some sugar & asked if I could have a bit of hot milk.....my latte got cold. The lovely young lady behind the counter helped me out very cheerfully. We love coming back to Goldies! read more

I have visited Goldies restaurant numerous times for breakfast and lunch. Always great food. My last two visits a little turned off by hostess! On both occasions my wife and I asked to sit in a booth and was told they are saved for party of four only and I said there is 5 open booths, they said sorry but in case they need them to be open ! We left ..... read more

Food is good. The scrambled eggs is not the greatest, taste like it came out of a box . That's the only thing that prevented me from giving them 5 stars. Service is good, quick and friendly. read more

What a great cafe! A lovely surprise - I especially enjoyed the Nutella flatbread and the tomato feta bruschetta flatbread. A great atmosphere and reasonably priced as well. Nice work, Goldies! I'll be back. read more
